Well apparently Kid A is a concept album about the first cloned human (aka Kid A). If you take this with that last omitted verse, it sort of comes together. |

| Tool – Viginti Tres Lyrics

I believe these lyrics aren't actually in the song. This was just a poem of sorts posted on a website, having nothing to do with Tool. Since it was in Latin and mentions twenty three, the words viginti tres come up.
I saw the site, and I remember that's what I thought. ^ |

And I was wrong. Faiip de Oiad is listed as 13 on the Tool packaging... so why did people always consider it a secret track? |

Something else I noticed: allmusic.com refers (correctly or incorrectly, I don't know- I could do some quick simple math, but I'm not in the mood for that now) to the closing suite of Lateralus as 23 minutes long. Just another Lateralus tie-in, something I noticed that I doubt means anything. But it's a curiosity.
I just find it odd that every other Tool album has such an epic ending, yet this one just fuzzes out with some odd static-like noise and a mysterious voice. The vague title only adds to my suspicions. To me, finding out the meaning of this song and any significant reference it might have makes it just as- or maybe even more- interesting than listening to Third Eye or any other closing Tool song. Sort of hope my search doesn't let me down. |

| Tool – 10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2) Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
As I take it, Tool seems to have meant the song to mean something along the lines of this:
Judith has worked hard for her religion, even though Maynard isn't particularly Christian (and yes, I am Christian in a different sort of way, so I'm not bringing my opinion in here). Since she has worked so hard, the universe after death should be malleable to what she expected, and thus she should be able to receive what the bible and her faith promised her in reward for her kindness and faith. |

"Lol..

It's real. I got it about two or three days ago in the US from a source I won't name. But the packaging is amazing, and how the songs flow and everything is perfect. It's great, but it's very true that it wasn't a leak.
And this whole album isn't about Maynard's mother. I think the two albums just sort of follow some themes, I'll expound a bit later. |

Lost Keys seemed to imply intense acid, but this does seem more like DMT. However, I've researched DMT a bit and found that certain experiences can trigger DMT's release into the body naturally. I'm not sure exactly what this song is going for, but it seems to me to be about the consequences of an intense trip, such as the character thinking he is now "The One," with a mission.
By the way, correct lyrics would be
"Born to bare and READ to all the details of our ending" |

Judging by everything else Tool has done, it appears to be a very literal explanation of new age-ish philosophies, something they cover quite a bit. Returning to the light is exactly that, death, returning to light, which is God, in New Age ideas. |

Its been suggested that 10,000 Days is the follow-up album to Lateralus. If it is "Disc 2," as has been suggested, Viginti Tres (Latin for twenty three) is literally track 23 of the total album. I don't believe that Faiip de Oiad was ever specifically stated to be track 13 on the Lateralus packaging, so assuming we leave it out, this makes sense. I can't imagine that that would be a coincidence, since it doesn't seem that there is any other real meaning to this song.
Does anybody have an idea what the voice says? |

Just to expound.. the "push it" part would be a reference to shooting up, and the "real" part would be because some users feel like they're only living whilst on drugs. And the rest of the song just fits into the teenage "scene" of drugs, booze, and the like. Pacifiers would seem to back me up, since a lot of drug users need them to suck on while they're on the drugs.
So, the song is about the teenage scene, not nearly as politically exciting as the war, but it's what it's about. |

I'm sure somebody's said this already, but I am fairly sure the actual lyrics are "You keep looking, but you can't find the woods/ Are you hiding in the trees?" or something similar.
Anyway, I see a lot of people taking this song way too metaphorically. This is an actual feeling that a number of people have, similar to looking through a window or a TV screen at the world. I would know, as I used to experience it a lot. Trust me, the words fit too perfectly with that experience to be a coincidence. |

| The Beatles – Penny Lane Lyrics

I always found the catch line to be "Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes," almost as if they're saying something about the nature of the world... like it's not really there or something to that extent, but it's just a really vivid illusion.
Then again, I could just be reading in, but it does seem to fit the whole meditation and druggy state they were in. |

XD Bands like these deserve to be stuck in a shack on some uninhabited island, so that they can't spread their 'musical' influence to the rest of the world. Added bonus: Check some of the Google ads on the side of this page... If you don't get funny ones, then just keep refreshing- it shouldn't take long.
It just adds to the credibility of these morons that they have titles praising Good Charlotte and Slipknot... I am sad to see the guy with the APC username go to the dark side though ; ;
In any case, people like this write lyrics, and then try to figure out what their words are saying after they're already down. Kind of like us Tool fans harping on Maynard's words over in the Tool section of this site, only Papa Roach has people in its band that are much, much moronic. |

Is this 'song' a message from the Taproot dude?
If you want a real phone recording that was put on an album and actually is cool, then you should listen to "Message to Harry Manback" by Tool. |

| Tool – Ticks and Leeches Lyrics

Just so you know, from what I've heard, this song basically comes from the following story:
Someone in Tool's production or management asked them to write a very heavy song for the album. Maynard's reply are in the lyrics: "Hope this is what you wanted, 'cuz this is what you're gettin," etc. Then he took the lyrics, and Tool wrote out a song for it and used it as their heavy song... the quiet interlude is kind of a mockery, put in just to piss off the people who told them to make it heavy.
That's the story I heard, at least. I'm not sure of its validity, but it seems right. |

I personally think the reference to Mom is hinting at how parents are just people, just the same as you or me, passing on propaganda that they've inherited to their children, who in turn pass it on. Part of this propaganda is that parents are almost sacred and godly.
While the parents fret for their 'prozac' and other possessions because of impending doom (more on exactly what I mean in a minute), their kids are blind to the fact that nothing can stop the end, and they're turning to the ones who propaganda has glorified.
The song on the surface level seems to be quite plainly about the fact that propaganda and lies have virtually destroyed our world. We began with no language, as things thinking for themselves, but as we 'evolved,' we only got stupider. Our organized religions are pretty much communist ideals, saying if you're not the same as us then you're screwed over and condemned. A majority of humans lack the ability to think for themselves, blindly following others. And, just like the excellent song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, I think that Maynard is trying to say that no matter what, if the world continues forever, eventually it's bound to crumble and everything everyone strives for now will have been useless and in vain. So no matter how hard we try to go back to our origins without language and thinking for ourselves in our own means, the world has been so decimated already that it's not going to happen. But still, eventually ('the bomb's gonna fix it all soon' and related lines) we're all going to die.
And, if you don't 'learn to swim' (go back to the roots of humanity, before people were "civilized"), it only comes quicker and more painfully.
Again, just my opinion, but it seems correct to me. |

Oberones seems to be right... I think that it's also pretty much saying that the spritual level is not the same as the bodily level, but to fully exist spritually, we need to understand how things work in the bodily existence, or at least realize that our spirit is lost somewhere in the body, and to free it we need to come to terms with the fact that it is 'self' and the body is a [possibly] temporary mask to our emotions and thoughts. |

Well, as someone up there said, it's Enochian for Voice of God. Enochian was the "language of the Angels" and I believe it was dictated to a man sometime around the 16th century.
I think that by including this clip (which was an excerpt from the Art Bell show, as it says on the back of the Lateralus box), they're one: pointing out the -possibility- of conspiracies and cover-ups, and that you should read in to them before you make any conclusions as to whether it's true or false. Also, I think the deeper meaning would be that life is complicated, and there are many misconceptions about it. Lies, truths, and nobody can ever tell for sure if their theory on it is correct, since pretty much every discovery contradicts something else. Basically, life is not linear, and it doesn't have to fit in with our misconceptions of what is common sense (described by Einstein as the sum of all prejudices acquired by age 18). |
