This is the first track of their album "10000 days" I asked for my mom for birthday a cd of this album (I had never heard them but I was amazed by the cover art) I planed to listen the album while training my aim in csgo, but after that first heavy riff drops I immediately closed the game, restarted the album and enjoyed the trip

There is a time to record something and a time to help or get someone that can help. Then everyone is so quick to watch these videos, consuming them like crack.

“Take us on the ride” That’s pretty much every Tool song. It’s a ride. A journey.

Yep, this is easily one of the most straight forward Tool songs. Sensasionalized news, always reporting on tragedy, and violence, and sadness. All to keep them number up. Keep people tuned in. Who deep down want all that drama in their lives, but are happen it's not happening to them. People will witness an act of violence, and act like it's something that happened to them. People act out empathy, but few really feel it. It's all a show so that people will pay them attention. Cause it's all about me.

I thought I was a tool fan until the 13 year long late arrival of fear inoculum. Then I realized I just like good music. Everything I have heard from that sounds like a different version of the song reflection to me. Great song, just not good enough to have a whole album based on it. (Not talking about its political points) just the overall sound. However, if by that album they are saying that there is nothing left to say, they have already told us then I get it.

I saw them (for the 2nd time) right after this release when Maynard still did the 'Vicarious' scream live. You know the one.

The messages have always been there. Maynard is one of the most prolific writers of our time. Paired with Danny, Adam and Justin and you’ve got the most incredible combination of talent.

I just cant help the chills at 9:59 Danny just losing it and that majestic riff, and to top it all, Maynard's vocals just wow

My all-time favorite band. Incredibly cerebral, catchy, technical, just so good. Listening to TOOL is an experience.

Eye on the TV 'Cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavor It happens to be like "Killed by the husband" "Drowned by the ocean" "Shot by his own son" "She used the poison in his tea" And kissed him goodbye That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face But with the other Stare like a junkie Into the TV Stare like a zombie While the mother Holds her child Watches him die Hands to the sky crying "Why, oh why?" 'Cause I need to watch things die From a distance Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold The writers of stories sold We won't give pause until the blood is flowing I need to watch things die From a good safe distance Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same so Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drum on grave and ground Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and voyeur Stare at the transmittal Sing to the death rattle La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so Impersonal. Devour to survive So it is, so it's always been We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies Much better you than I

Just think, this song was way ahead of its time. Social media has only amplified the meaning of this song.

This is why Tool can't be matched when it comes to hard Prog rock. Maynard's lyrics are so smart, and then you couple that to an incredible group of three musicians. It's lightening in a bottle. I love watching your Tool reactions. You just get it. This is why Tool can go for 13 years and not release an album, and when they do... it goes to #1 on the charts. They are always relevant. There aren't a lot of bands that can say that.

HELLS. YEAH. This is one of my favorite Tool songs, and easily my favorite for the drums. Seriously, listen to that song again some time and just focus on the drums. It’s SICK. This was one of my all-time favorite reactions, dude. This band is deep, and you’re deep enough to get it on the first pass, I respect that. I think Tool is at their best when they are holding up a mirror to America/the modern world, and saying, “This is you. Don’t look away. This is how YOU are.” And this is one of my favorite songs for that, because it’s both evocative and straightforward at the same time, which is not an easy tightrope to walk. Love it, love it, love it. So glad you went down this rabbit hole, man.

This, agreed. Everyone gets sucked into the awesome lyrics, but I rate this as one of their best musically. Got to go back and review the music... the tight base lines, the intricate guitar parts, the outrageous drums, and how they all sync together. It's delivered with tempo and precision on the album and translates just as well live.

No just Maynard but all 4 of those guys are just simply brilliant

Thanks for getting back to Tool! There is so much more to get too brotha!
