Be waitient people 😆

Top 4 drugs in the world
4. Tool
3. Tool
2. Tool
1. Tool

Is this a test? It has be...otherwise I cant go on

146 people weren't patient.

Been waiting for 26 years and I'm still me.

But no.

this song is the song of my life since 2010...

friends are something weak souls lean on

like this states disgusting preplanned heartless HNAVss neurology 11

This song has gotten me through some shit man. Can't help but feel moved when I listen. <3

Listening to this song live, my god, is even more powerful. I feel very lucky to have experienced that.

m-eye... d-ear

I must keep reminding myself of this. I must keep reminding myself of this i must keep reminding myself of this!!!!!

This song reminds me of my marriage

And another shout to one of the greatest albums of all time. TOOL IS GOSPEL.

Wow! This song really hits home in so many ways. So much struggle we endure, easy to shrug and neglect difficult emotions, instead of facing them. Thank you TOOL for reminding me to always choose life, even during the darkest times.

141 People have no idea what they even disliked. How could you not love this?

I absolutely flip to that bass based intro in most of tool songs. fuck im addicted to this guys

The guitar chords on Pneuma sound a lot like the ones on this song.

Be patient é o caralho

These daily reminders keep me straight on the path. My Deepest gratitude

Saw them play this tonight in Memphis. MIND BLOWING

I was in prison when the song came out I was lucky enough to have somebody to mail me the lyrics and I fell in love with the song before I ever even heard it
Lyrics literally kept me going

This quite possibly is their best song.

How good is Justin Chancellor, Jesus.

i went to the inside the outside tour while in Odessa I realized I wasnt welcome to the JEM concert social security spell check.er JAM lol not broke it down to HNAVss 11 awesome I hate Maxwell to death

Lateral is apart of the eye think about it the state filed nolé prosique April 2006 no April 2014 preplanned connection

4:40 probably the darkest, heaviest riff ever. Makes my heart squeeze in both fear and elation.

Tool is awesome always

one of the happiest moments of my life was when tool played this song in fresyes for the first time in 9 years.

Well..he's better than me.

When is #TOOL eligible for the ROCK AN ROLL HALL OF FAME? asking for a fan 1/23/20

I dunno maybe I heard it twice with the likings of Lateralus and the master piece of Thirteen Step ha ha James so wants to see me and Noah and bed... Hope his future is genius. If it has something to do with espresso he’d so go crazy over me like Noah just non-stop laughter esp. when I wear my Docs. Boot cut. I love him. And all his mom did was give me ever computer game that was invented. Lucky they were all cooking time management games some fashion but yeah she said their all for me. And all I said was Noah’s games. Stright in a bottle.

listened 3 x times in a row ;)

must keep reminding myself of this

Quit dope, pills and Tex off this song as restless legs and electrical shocks tossed and turned my body all day and nite! I'm clean now, besides cush and scripts, caps and ketamine! Yay Me!

They played this instead of The Pot in Phoenix tonight. So happy.

That's crazy, this is my current "can't get enough of this song" song and I was going to take a trip down there to see them again, saw them in Boston in November, now i'm bumming that I didn't go...

Maybe an ode to psychoanalysis.

121 people can't be patient, they have trouble reminding themselves to wait it out

im struggling with my mania from my bipolar 2... irrational thoughts with anxiety and depression that is crippling... his chanting of "wait it out, gotta wait it out" and "must keep reminding myself of this" is really keeping my feet on the ground right now.

I don't know what that's like buuut if I may be so bold, I suggest doing self love meditation. I had to say this because it's helping me personally a lot with anxiety.

I saw them play this live in Fresno for the first time in 9 years. I will keep reminding myself of this.

Yes,and Adam's birthday song!!

My first TOOL show and they pulled this out. So lucky to have gone!

lucky. I really wanted to go but i was broke

I was in Dallas at the American Airlines center and it was my first time to see them, Maynard had every one laughing so hard! Unforgettable experience! I love how They decided to share their message. And not to mention the lights were perfect! It was a very healing experience for me!

Same, I can't even describe how excited I was, so unexpected, it really was the highlight, such a perfect night!

My very tool/vip concert experience in fresno California! They played this live!!!

A lot of Rush influence on this song.

118 people who deserve to go to hell

oh my goddd, the guitar just makes me headbang so much

Mond blown. What a progression. Its ike sex for the soul via sound instead of touch and spirit.

This has been my favorite Tool track for years. It's hard to explain why, it just is. It's beautiful

Mondays = This song on loop. This tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now. One Monday I hope to be able to say This tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly am walking away right now. but I've given all I can, and I don't deserve still be on the payroll.

😲I have never smashed the skip😠 so hard and fast during song transition😳

Confirmed. This is the album he did DMT with.

You never truly appreciate the musicianship until you listen to the song on headphones that can't handle the sounds

High quality audio equipment is the only way to fully appreciate this musical art

The Fisherman is here get caught

Wait it out


My final message


Goodbye

Happy new years

I must keep reminding myself of this

[Verse 1]
A groan of tedium escapes me
Startling the fearful
Is this a test? It has to be
Otherwise, I can't go on
Draining patience, drain vitality
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old

[Verse 2]
But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here
But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here

[Pre Chorus]
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out (Be patient)

[Chorus]
If there were no rewards to reap
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now
Gonna wait it out

[Chorus]
If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now

[Bridge]
And I still may
I still may
Be patient
Be patient
Be patient
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this
I must keep reminding myself of this

[Chorus]
If there were no rewards to reap
(I must keep reminding myself of this)
No loving embrace to see me through
(I must keep reminding myself of this)
This tedious path I've chosen here
(I must keep reminding myself of this)
I certainly would've walked away
(I must keep reminding myself of this)

[Outro]
By now
And I still may
And I still may
And I still may
And I

Hermosa canción. Escuchando desde México 🤘🏼🇲🇽

JA ENU ET FANTASTISK NR AF TOOL DE OVERGÅR SIG SELV SPRØDT NR FED TEKST AF MANYARD OG DANNY CAERY TEKSTFORFATTER

My Saturday nights used to begin with this song blasting throughout the house. hahaa

One of the more unknown and forgotten songs from this era of Tool. Pure Masterpiece.

One of the greatest songs ever made!

Badmotorfinger 🤘

"If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would have walked away by now"


Woah, I never sat down and just read that verse before. One of my biggest motivators to keep going when I want to quit is to help other people get the most out of their lives. Sometimes I feel like there's no point, but I look around and everyone else seems to enjoy theirs... so shit, might as well help others.


PS this song makes me bawl like a freakin' baby

i got an ad about baby furniture. they know tool fans are old now T_T

This is the best band ever!

I must keep reminding myself of this 💕

This song helped me a 15year abusive relationship. Which I am now out of. Thank you Tool. Seriously ❤

Through a 15 year abusive relationship. Is what I meant to say.

Vape nation

Most philosophical music

Went on a psychedelic binge freshman year of highschool came out in the middle of sophomore year in a hospital. Feels like I'm listening to my inner most conciousness during those 3 months...

"And I'm still right here giving blood. Keeping faith..." it's quite morbid, but sounds soothing...

My proudest fap

Listening to Tool all day. Wait this is my favorite and then the next song comes along, wait this is my favorite. The truth is. Every song is my favorite for one reason or another.... Thank you Tool.

Know what you mean. This one is special though

@D H I know, I feel the same this one and flood as well but then, there are so many.... Have been listening to No Quarter their Zeppelin cover and that is, wow.

Legendary... An experience like no other. Tool is absolutely amazing and will forever be a great time and always an emotional experience embracing their music.

Coming Home.

Seems written for me!

Goosebumps

be patient...

This song got me through the big house.

Incredible

5:30 "I MUST KEEP REMINDING MYSELF OF THIS
I MUST KEEP REMINDING MYSELF OF THIS
I MUST KEEP REMINDING MYSELF OF THIS
I MUST KEEP REMINDING MYSELF OF THIS!"

4:50 till the end are literally the best riffs to preform. Love this song and everything about it. Other than the fact that it’s underrated

penis fingers btw

Wtf sounded like Peter Frampton voice thing in the beginning

Like when Frampton put his voice through a distortion pedal?

@Henry Sylvester yesh

There is some sort of mystical relationship between Tool's work and my life, in that the former often works as the original soundtrack to the latter.
So glad it's over, so glad I didn't walk away from this tedious path I've chosen here.

Am i the patient ?

Love this song,so good.dont really know why it hits me so deep.

Tool n Wu tang Makin a comeback in 2019 gives me hope for a better world

Man, I just love Tool.

Got two god damn ads between eon blue apocalypse and this...fuck

5:32 is one of the greatest parts of any Tool song

Tool turned me into a seeker of the truth..... Not only Maynard. I feel that needs to be said.. TOOL FOREVER! GOAT!

I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this

First time I listened to this was by accident and I was too lazy to skip, I’m happy I was lazy in that moment

God bless! :) TooL forever!

All hail our lethargy...

@Kevin Van Duser 😂

Rock Gods 🤘

A groan of tedium escapes me,
Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,
Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith,
And I'm still right here.

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith,
And I'm still right here.

Wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
Be patient (wait it out).

If there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through,
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out.

If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may, I still may be patient, be patient, be patient.

I must keep reminding myself of this.
I must keep reminding myself of this.
I must keep reminding myself of this.
I must keep reminding myself of this.

And if there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may.
And I still may.
And I still may.

And I am gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it out.

The Intro sounds like 7empest. The chorus sounds like Pneuma

Modern masterpiece time has proven timeless.

I just saw tool live yesterday. It was my first concert for them, and it was awesome.

The beginning is so epic 😫

En 4:30
"No estuve"
Inhala
Exhala
"Estuve"
"I was not"
Inhale
Exhale
"I was"

Si lo percibes por primera vez estando fumado te deja más que sorprendido 🤫😲

“I still may”

Pneuma's older sibling. FI is really felt like Lateralus 2.0

@No#name underrated comment

@No#name lmao

Serhat Koç honestly I felt like Pneuma was the love child of Schism and The Patient. The 5/4 section of Pneuma is very reminiscent of this song.

@J P For some reason, it reminded me a lot of "H.".

gage suther how so? I find that connection interesting

The extension will not prevail ..
