I named my rescue cat MERKABA. She's a pure Torti.

I like to pry open my third eye with DMT from time to time.

RIP bill hicks

expected lyrics: in, out


reality: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Can anyone tell me why they sound like peanuts parents?

car starting at 11:19 ?

God damn, every time I hear this song it takes me back to my first acid trip nearly 3 years ago. I listened to this song at one point during my trip, and that's when Tool finally clicked for me after trying to get into them for months beforehand. This will always be one of my favorite songs ever

π freedom

Poop came out my third eye........ wrong eye

So good to see you. I missed you so much.

7:50 Is this remastered specifically for digital? I dont ever remember his voice being this clear on CD

I believe they remastered everything before going digital

Could you imagine if they opened every show with this?

cool song but the guitar is a little cringey at times.

cool song but the guitar is a little cringey at times.

Blessed

I love this song... I love Maynard he's so intelligent

47 people aren't opening their third eye

How many people now need a third eye because of blasting this song so loudly that their ear drums shatter?

An anthem for my youth.

A lot of this seems based/inspired on some of the earlier books by Carlos Castaneda. Actually most of it seems to be making reference to the peyote sessions that were described in the first couple of books.

MY FAVORITE SONG (OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE)

My Mom taught me to see with my third eye. My Mom loved me.

I love your mom too

Bill hicks legend! Maynard James Keenan. Legend! James Carlin legend. Commenting is redundant, those who have a brain, and a sense of awareness of how FUCKED the world really is can see, and know exactly who the voices of the truth should be. Just live. This world is only a ride. Simple. Enjoy what there is. Protect yourself and family. Enjoy the music of the world. Fuck politics and stupid distractions. Haha. Can’t get me mother fuckers!!! Fuck you illuminati!! Fuck your agenda. Fuck your society. I use your devices to expose your shit! Go Maynard!!! Go bill!!! (RIP) as if you really give a shit haha. Rest In Peace anyway you fucker xD you too Carlin!!! Haha. You guys were and ARE still a voice of this fucked up world!!!

Chasing the tail of someone else’s dogma...

"Lord...what have i become when i do not know what i am..?"


Answer: Meat

Dis shit so garbage 😂

BussDown LilFoe judging by your liked videos, your opinion is worthless.

For jerk-offs like you!

Drugs or whatever, best song ever to me.

Rest In Peace Bill Hicks

This song always reminds me my first LSD trip

My favourite part of the song 0:00 - 13:53

My third eye is open, I am aware! 🌀

I look around and think now, no wonder this neighborhood. Everyone lived in this neighborhood! It's always been. And I thought somebody was following me!!! Heeaaajhja! It's funny now.

I told. Yep. That was me. I told.

It was a house on Judy with a bar in the back and you sat on bass. Saints and sinners. Remember that sign?

Last time I partied with Jeremy in 2009 we went there and sat in the dark. Remembering good times. Then petercheeks got mad. I guess she thought we were messing around. The concert we were supposed to go to was cancelled. Something moose. It was Jeremy's idea.

So we went and killed time anyway. It was fun anyway. But me and Jeremy were just friends too. We had fun. That's all. I miss that.

I turned him on to Murphy's law that night. Boo!

Have you ever remembered this conversation?

Probably the best song ending for a Tool album. Love the emotion everyone in this band puts in. PRYING OPEN MY THIRD 👁

Greatest song ever made period

ÆNEMA was the born of the explicit spirituality in their songs

4:20 to 7:10 feels like you are in a different dimension

Sounds like a Shaman drum beat and rhythm.

As much as I absolutely love this album, 10000 days is still my favourite by them

Antonio Ciaccio what about fear innoculum???🙄

@Mimi BassAdventure fear inoculum isnt as good as the other 4 i can say objectively

My Favorite

This is soooo hauntingly beautiful! A masterpiece. Bill Hicks’ voice goes so well within the track.

28 people don't get real fucking high on drugs

28 non-thinkers

Still a masterpiece of an era.

#TOOL rules mind body and soul

First time EVER hearing this song, man I'm so high on acid rn, just gotta say FUCK ME

The part starting from 7:12 is mesmerizing. How did they even come up with that bassline...

[Intro: Bill Hicks]
"See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor - go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your CDs and burn 'em. 'Cause you know what? The musicians who've made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years... real fucking high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom, that's what it is, okay? Keep that in mind at all times, thank you."

[Verse 1]
Dreaming of that face again
It's bright and blue and shimmering
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

[Verse 2]
On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again (And back again)
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye

[Refrain]
In, out, in, out, in, out

[Verse 3]
A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream
I've spent so many years in question
To find I've known this all along


[Chorus]
"So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running?

[Verse 4]
Shrouding all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun
I stick my hand into the shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel
But the eyes seem so familiar
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song

[Chorus]
"So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?"


[Refrain]
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye

[Chorus]
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing the tail of dogma

[Refrain]
I opened my eye, I opened my eye
I opened my eye and there we were
I opened my eye, I opened my eye
I opened my eye and there we were

[Chorus]
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

[Outro]
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye

Bill Hicks

6:19 Is like dubstep before dubstep was even a thing

Pink Floyd and Tool. There's no space for anything else in life

lllTheWalkerslll agree,another level ,in past pink floyd,now in modern world Tool,masterpiece of music!!!They are uniqe!!!that new album fear innoculum is for me the greatest album ever!!!What a ride man!!!Eyes full of wonder👁

@Mimi BassAdventure Fear Innoculum is just amazing! I hope I can see them live someday.

"I doNt NeEd DrUgZ tO eNjOy ToOl".
Shut the fuck up nobody said they NEED anything to enjoy tool. Some of us are just shocked by the profound and enlightening experience. Ignorant fools. Dont criticize what you cant possible understand. Dive in the rabbit hole and go back to standing in line. Just shut the fuck up nobody cares.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRREAL F*ckin high on drugs...

This song makes me feel my brain move 🤘👍

Me too girl

Hail satan

25 people need to open their eyes.

If you can't recognize the brilliance, the nearly unconditioned creativity of this, I think you'd better listen carefully until you do.

From the 12:20-12:32 song time, how freakin cool is that portion of the song? Wow!!!

Can’t wait to see them live for the first time October 12 2019 in LA, hope they play this song

We just had an insane electrical storm here in Brisbane and now the sky has cleared all I wanted to do was hear this track ❤️

I love Tool and particularly Aenima, but I don't like this song at all. The only weak track of the album actually.

You're so wrong

Ok, so your fingers just kept slipping and your comment came out. Got it. We forgive you.

One of the best songs theyve ever written... You must be high

Third Eye is so dope, smoke it.

The United States did a great job of closing the third eye and is calcifying the pineal gland. Open that shit and see what the truth is.

Real talk

This is primal.. Pure instinct.

Thaaaaankkkk YOU TOOL

Is that Hicks in the beginning?

100% man. A very aware, hilarious, and missed human.

Yes. Maynard and him were good friends.

In the top 3 of Tool's best works from their number 1 record, Ænima.

The "in out in out" is addicting.

8:50 onwards is my favorite part

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEALLLLL FUCKING HIGH ON DRUGS

I can smell the color 9

This song will forever be my favorite Tool song by far. Absolutely dynamic. Either being completely sober or tripping balls this song has always seemed to completely distract me from the world and feed my psyche a tasteful embellishing sound. Also they started off the song with bits from my favorite comedian of all time. It’s the accomplishment of a perfect song in my opinion lol

H. speaks to me for some reason but I can get where you’re coming from

To a sloooooow vibration

I've wisened up like you said and its not very pretty

Lyrics

"See,
I think drugs have done
Some good things for us,
I really do.
And if you don't believe drugs
Have done good things for us,
Do me a favor -
Go home tonight and
Take all your albums,
All your tapes,
And all your CDs and burn em.
Cause you know what?
The musicians who've made
All that great music that's
Enhanced your lives
Throughout the years...
Real fucking high on drugs."

"Today a young man on acid
Realized that all matter is
Merely energy condensed
To a slow vibration.
That we are all one consciousness
Experiencing itself subjectively.
There is no such thing as death,
Life is only a dream,
And we are the
Imagination of ourselves.
Here's Tom with the weather."

"It's not a war on drugs,
It's a war on personal freedom,
That's what it is,
Okay?
Keep that in mind at all times,
Thank you."

Dreaming of that face again
It's bright and blue
And shimmering
Grinning wide
And comforting me with
It's three warm and wild eyes

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
(And back again)
Rising up
And wiping the webs
And the dew from
My withered eye

In,
Out,
In,
Out,
In,
Out

A child's rhyme
Stuck in my head
It said that life is
But a dream
I've spent so many
Years in question
To find I've known
This all along

"So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running?

Shrouding all the
Ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes
Within a memory
And blue as our
New second sun
I stick my hand
Into the shadow
To pull the pieces
From the sand
Which I attempt
To reassemble
To see just who
I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel
But the eyes seem
So familiar
Like phosphorescent
Desert buttons
Singing one familiar song

"So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?"

Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye

So good to see you
Once again
I thought that
You were hiding
And you thought that
I had run away
Chasing the tail of dogma

I opened my eye,
I opened my eye
I opened my eye
And there we were
I opened my eye,
I opened my eye
I opened my eye
And there we were

So good to see you
Once again
I thought that you
Were hiding from me
And you thought that
I had run away
Chasing a trail of
Smoke and reason

Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye

Esta canción me hace viajar!

How did 21 people dislike this?WTF is wrong with you 21 fools?

Must be some dumb girls Taylor swift funs

This song is just... *sighs, then takes a deep breath* PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE!
12:38 is otherworldly...

19 people burned their albums

25 acutally

It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom is what it is, OK. Keep that in mind at all times. Thank you.

Just gave this album another play through, while tripping on ‘cid. What I’ve noticed is that the music has been tampered with, and not in its original form. They’ve edited out the “big bad swear words”. Kind of heartbroken they would allow this.

Ohr what?!? (Like Dire Straits removing the verse about "The little faggot with the earing and the make-up..."?)

I got paisley patterns and hurt my face from laughing too much on mushrooms.

Completely sober I was laying in bed one night. my hand was resting on the wall and i was staring at it. I felt a buzz over come my entire being and my fingers were stretched and bending like tentacles, I fell through the wall and stood up in a Japanese night club then snapped out of it.

I know which I prefer lmao

Time to take mushrooms and listen to tool 🤙🏻

Strange that I'm here cuz of Game Grumps

Videl Phoenix which episode?

It's the track that makes Tool Tool

THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!

I wouldn't be the deep thinking intellectual if it hadn't been for the 90s. Even to this day, I'm still prying my third eye. 👀👀👀😎

Don’t break your arm jerking yourself off

Rest in Peace Bill Hicks

Finally I can open my third eye.

so good to see you
i've missed you so much
so glad it's over
i've missed you so much
came out to watch you play
why are you running away?

Anything from Aenima, Lateralus, and most of 10k Days takes a massive shit on fear innoculum

Has anyone else noticed how this flows almost perfectly into Fear Incoculum? Or how about how 7empest flows right into Vicarious?? The transitions seem intentional.

Tempest is a four part walkthrough of tool play style through the albums undertow, aenima, lateralus, and 10000 days

This song is better when you're high, so is Fear Inoculum

This is hindu as fuck.

Bright and blue and shimmering? Shiva.

Dude is escaping samara and reuniting with brahma after probably thousands of reincarnations.

This is practically the hindu heaven myth.

"So good to see you, I've missed you so much" he recognizes the divine within himself and in everything, and he greets it like an old lost friend, as thats what it is. We forget brahma through our engagement with the illusion of reality, we forget, and it takes us thousands of lifetimes to remember, and when we finally do, when we finally see those 3 warm and wild eyes, when we rise above our experience and realize ourselves as brahma, only then do we return to him and break the reincarnation cycle.


"Shrouding all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun"

This divine revelation is stripping him of his attachments to the material world and now views the divine in everything, even a bird. Everything is brama, we are all the one entity, we are eternal, and when we recognize that we are liberated.


"I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been
I do not recognize the vessel
But the eyes seem so familiar"

He can now view himself as an eternal being that lives and dies and lives again, that no matter what form he takes his divine soul the 'eyes' seem familiar because that is the one truth. He can now view his potential future lives based off of the karma accrued in this life, 'to see what i might have been' but it doesn't matter what you are, that form is unfamiliar and transitory - the soul is what he now recognizes.


"Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song
So good to see you
I've missed you so much"

Reference to drugs aiding in this holy revelation. 'So good to see you' is him seeing brahma for the first time in likely centuries. Imagine seeing your mom for the first time in 50 years, now times that by 50,000 years and thats the sensation.

'So good to see you once again, i thought that you were hiding from me'

Reference to his search for god and divine meaning. He couldn't find it, brahma was hiding - in truth, he wasn't even truly looking

'I thought that you had run away chasing the tail of smoke and reason' this is brahms speaking back to him saying, 'dude ive been here the whole time, everytime i come to watch you you ran away from me, i thought you were so absorbed in the illusion of life that you would never find me again, but you did'

It is a story of a profound spiritual revelation, and this resonates very strongly with me. Very hindu inspired

Dude said I was tripping I'm not going anywhere without my suitcase shit
