Tool - Parabol Lyrics






So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

    I have suffered from depression my whole life (almost 36 now). My teenage years to young adulthood was the worst but I still deal with it off and on today. It still shows up for no reason at all. This song has always been my rock to calm it down when it gets overwhelming. Thank you tool for always being there for me. This song will take me through many levels of emotion but when it's over I'm calm. Also thank you for after a 13 year wait you created the biggest masterpiece of all time.

    Friendly reminder that if you play parabol/parabola at exactly 11:56:55 on the last day of December, the drop will hit on new years.

    T.... K....

    Tool brings you to a whole new reality of spiritualism

  39. M.... ....

    This song and video is on another level, amazing.

  40. J.... R....

    I love discovering these guest appearances like Tricky and Henry Rollins on the first album, makes me realise how Tool intersects with a lot of great artists

    J.... R....

    Also, Maynard was featured in other artists tracks like Know Your Enemy by Rage Against the Machine.

  41. s.... ....

    You hear that Buddha kinda whispering sound at 2:52
    Now, watch this awesome trip from Rick and Morty: https://youtu.be/pfwReaULI9M?t=75
    Ha ha ha the whispering transmuted into a nice burping sound. Anyway, I didn't know Rick and Morty's creators were Tool fans.

  42. K.... L....

    Did the animator ever stop and just say "what the FUCK"?

    K.... L....

    Damn is that a Rage Against the Machine profile picture? If so, respect ✊

  43. C.... F....

    that thumbnail shows what a man is going to be when he has done the no nut november

  59. X.... L....

    and Tricky everywhere in everything cool in the late 90's

  60. M.... F....

    If you play a to be continued meme right as the last guitar chord is played, both are in perfect key sync.

  61. T.... T....

    {({ "][" {()} {()} }]_,, })}

  62. N.... ....

    It's really cool that Tool finally uploaded all videos to their channel! But it's bad that they deleted all previous videos (I mean, at least they had a lot of interesting comments).
    And the main question is: why ALL video are just 480p, not HD? I have Tool DVDs with all videos, but I really want to see Tool's HD video on YouTube... It's really sad :(

  63. L.... L....

    Oh my god..ths is tool

  64. J.... K....

    Holy shit! I never watched this video to the end (I know, punk rock has shortened my musical attention span). But my God those transforming images were epic.

  65. T.... ....

    Parabol (a)

  66. J.... ....

    Joe Rogan: Hey Tool, ever done DMT?

  67. M.... M....

    IMO Parabol/Parabola is the best song that I have ever heard in my entire life. It is perfectly written.

  68. T.... T....

    My yoga instructor put Parabol and Mantra on during a session. I like him

  69. S.... H....

    I saw Tool twice accidentally. They opened for the Ramones in 1991 and were basically booed off the stage. Their set ended when the guitarist was accidentally hit in the head with the base of the singer's mic stand. The second time was Lallapalooza 1993.

  70. T.... k....

    spooooky ,, thank you

  71. O.... A....

    aagh it reminds me the cold silence and loneleness like grave

  72. L.... L....

    Innoculate my fear.



    Tool : hold my beer.

  73. T.... K....

    I am still not exactly sure why I love this band so much. Before I discovered them (strange time in my life) I worshiped other bands prior, namely 80s Metallica and Pink Floyd. To this day TOOL is still my favorite. After seeing them live three times and witnessing Fear Inoculum on stage, I just don't have any more words. I cannot think of another band that takes so much patience, meticulousness, and psychedelic beauty which makes us think...why are we even here?



    End rant, long live TOOL.

  74. b.... ....

    Tool is by no means a top 10 band for me, but this song Parabola, means a lot to me. I know the guys in Tool don’t believe in any gods, or religion, but do have a fascination with spirituality. As a Christian, I found this song to be so empowering and almost reads like a prayer. No matter what happens to me, I know there is another life outside this one and God is watching over me as a helping hand. Life is beautiful, and I thank him every day for it.

    That may not be the intended message Maynard and the gang want to put out there, but that’s what I get out of it. The song also sounds otherworldly and awesome on top of that. One of my favorite songs ever.

  75. B.... M....

    Me and the boys discussing poop and pee 3:35

  76. P.... 0....

    I never understood the meaning of this video.
    Could someone help with a reference?

  77. B.... ....

    every tool video has some comment about dead people lmao

  78. M.... �....

    9:29
    Eyebrows be on fleeeeeeek

  79. M.... ....

    whining singer

  80. D.... M....

    Interactive Tool high contrast geometry planet earth Lateralus !!!

  81. P.... G....

    But maynard, how do you know history would not change given the chance to replay the tapes?

  82. M.... L....

    9:20 How people feel when they say "Where are her organs?"

  83. N.... F....

    El dolor es solo una ilusión ✨

  84. K.... S....

    Nobody builds a story like Tool. Brilliant Always.

  85. A.... P....

    I'm a late comer to Tool and can't believe it took me so long to appreciate the absolute genius of their work.

  86. M.... h....

    WOW! Thats a great video.

  87. K.... M....

    Everything about tool,has always attracted me to their musical perfection,beliefs and ethics and the fantastic videos

  88. A.... s....

    id really like to know if the art at the end represents what you witnes while beeing on dmt




    (i know that it shows the 7 main chakras by the way)

    A.... s....

    something like it yes

  89. W.... D....

    Saw this Live Monday. Today is Thanksgiving........ Still Blown Away!

  90. H.... I....

    kick out the jam 4:07

  91. X.... A....

    I may not be the smartest but I can at least appreciate this is a fucking masterpiece

  92. T.... C....

    The structure of this song along with many others is a staple of Tool, and with their latest album that structure was not replicated at all. The overall musicianship was blatantly poor.

  93. G.... _....

    Ok **what?**

  94. T.... G....

    to become one with the universe

  95. S.... K....

    It sounds cliche but Danny Carey is the greatest drummer to come out of the 90's, he is a powerhouse.
