Tool - Vicarious (Lyrics and Meaning)

Sorry this video is retarded. I should've put the explanation of the lyrics down here. This was just the first lyric video I made, so it's not the best. And I made it when I was 13 or 14. I was proud that I could provide an explanation for every single lyric. So I did. Very blatantly.

I apologize. But people still seem to enjoy this video. So I won't be taking it down.

@RebornAleph Since I am only fifteen I have little experience and am still very childish, so I may be using the word for many things that I just have minor grievances for. While I do try to behave in public and try to mask my hatred with outward kindness I have found little in return from people my age. I fear for the future of the world if these are the ones who will inherit the earth and plunge it into ruin.

But, despite my current mindset, I may find truth and solace in your words some day.

Tool , like the Doors incorporate a lot of philisophy/poetry into their lyrics. I hope you get to see them in concert- they friggin ROCK!

It goes deeper than how you explained too, not that your interpretation is wrong. It's also saying something about self reflection and how we view violence (typically as a bad thing but deep inside we all enjoy it.) It's saying we NEED violence- we need to devour other things to eat and live ourselves. Bottom line being we are a violent species born in a violent universe and we shouldn't be shocked at our level of violence because it's in our nature. As a veteran, it truly makes perfect sense...

i admit it i sit back every morning to watch the news and when i hear of others death my first thought is good theirs too many ppl on earth as it is................... guilty as charged nature of the beast

So pissed I missed the Tool Tour. Found out I missed it when I randomly looked up their tour dates and found that they were right next to my city a week before. My local rock station failed to announce the most talented band they play's tour. And to top it off Tool puts ALOT of time into their albums so it will be a long ass time till they tour again. FUCK MY LIFE

I came from here cause a friend of mine mentioned it, and now I have taken the liberty to listening it :)

Very good video to come from a 13 year old. Very good song by Tool.

"Vicarious" is a vocab word in my AP Language and Composition class. It means the sympathetic enjoyment of watching something else someone has done. This song is the only thing that pops into my head.
