"This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality, embrace this moment remember, we are eternal al this pain is an illusion" To me that's the greatest finale to any song. Tool has saved me many trips to a psychologist.
“Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing. This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion” I listened to this song while in the hospital for 3 months with a TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury). This song was very deep to me. I had it tattooed on my arm.
I love watching people react to this when they do it properly with Parabol first. That ethereal, metaphysical priming. centering. And I sit back relax, and wait for it to hit. They distill it. Decant it. Present it. And then you taste it. BOOM! Mindgasm. Everybody jumps.
Great reaction. As a huge Tool fan I can say all their music is left for interpretation. Their music is to be used as a tool (hence the name) for whatever is going on in your life. Use it in whatever way you need to. Use it to grow, open up, release, etc. That being said, I interpret it as there being a collective unconscious where we are all there. Whether it's a state of mind, another dimension, whatever you believe in. I understand it as him saying our bodies feel pain but in this other reality, maybe the real reality, we don't feel pain, we're connected and bodies are just used to be on this Earth but we move on afterwards. I don't know. It's deep. I could go on for hours about what it could be or interpreted as. That's the beauty of Tool. You can always find new meanings. When my grandmother and father passed, I already had been listening to Tool for ages. Yet those same songs had new meaning all of sudden. I saw another side of the lyrics. Beautiful.
Watching all of these emotional reactions to TooL is like getting to relive some of the past 38 years of my life. They are and will always be the true Maestros to my life. Beautiful.
Do Stinkfist. That was the first 'hard' song I ever heard. My being 15 yrs old living in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Somehow I managed to pick up a Wichita radio station, T-95, at 2:30 am, +220 miles away, ridiculous antenna strung around the room. I recorded 2 hours of playtime on cassette, but hearing Tool for the first time, after only having access to gross pop music all my life... I will never forget that feeling. What a song to start on...
As a Tool Lieutenant, I'm going to have to take you in for reprogramming. One does not tell someone to listen Right in Two without listening to Intension first. Like Parabol/Parabola, the song is Intension/Right in Two.
"this pain is an illusion" is the only text I have tattoo'd on my body with over 20 tattoos. The only words you will ever read on me for it was the reminder I needed many times in my life. It will hold true and cut deep for me forever.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT you don't need anything to experience Tool. It's incredible no matter what. .but when you smoke you definitely can have an out of body experience with Tool!
Tools music is completely unique to them. Nobody has been able to copy it although some have tried Chevelle/Earshot. They have an ability to induce thought and pull emotions out of the listener the way no other band has. Theirs so many influences to Tool. Metal, funk, Danny's drum style is heavily Jazz influenced. He's actually a Jazz drummer who happens to play in a rock band. It's a huge part of what makes them completely different than any other band
Do "The Grudge" next. It's the first song of this album... and it is one of greatest pieces of drumming art... To me, Parabol is talking from the inside of the mothers body, Parabola is experiencing life after being born...
@@munkenl0l Yeah, I don't know if that was the accual attent behind it, but that does not matter. That is so great about Tool, you can always find a meaning for yourself in the songs, no matter what the accual attent was. Even the sound of Parabol to me is like it is coming for "inside something", so that was the first thing I realized by listening and draw that connection.
I hate pausing a song because it kills the momentum. I usually try to lower the volume alittle when I talk but I did a bad job on this video the mix was kind of off.
I think it’s just a friendly reminder of how much we seem to take for granted in our youth during this life. And this song reminds you of how we are all not alone in this, we all live and die together. And that’s what we are going through right now is very finite. For when we leave our bodies, this will be nothing but a faint memory.
First reaction video of yours I watched. Nice thoughtful reaction. Not a whole lot more to add really, you summed it up well. It is certainly a relaying of spiritual revelations in regards to our souls being eternal.. we are pure consciousness, not our minds, our thoughts or our bodies. Certainly one of their most enlightening songs. To me, parabol feels like the calm, quiet, reflective state of being, where these truths are revealed.... and parabola is the "holy shit" revelation and expression of it. I also am profoundly effected by the lyric of "we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion" - as well as "recognize this as a holy gift, and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing" - I'm an artist and actually owe a great deal of credit to that one line and the impact it had on me to remind that life itself, and the chance to be alive and experience it is in fact a gift. It is a core message of my work (artbytripleb.com) Many of their songs have spiritual relevance, but two other recommendations which I feel have profound spiritual relevance are Lateralus and Reflection.
@2:07 that sound was made by what is called a Didgeridoo. It’s an ancient Aboriginal Australian instrument. Basically a long hollowed out stick that produces sound by blowing through it.
Watching people listen to Tool for the first time makes me so fucking happy. I've been a fan for decades, and I still have the same emotional and spiritual reactions every time I listen to their songs.
I also very much enjoy classic rock, classic rap but am most fond of Tool, The Eagles, Pink Floyd.... Those are all fertile grounds to sow the crops of views my friend.
We are multidimensional beings and some fucking how we chose to live out a mortal life, including all the pain and suffering but all that is just a part of the experience we can't fathom what comes next even though we've been there before, the whole purpose of us being here is to live. #SmokeDMT
Embracing a song on the first listen is rare for me. Except this one.The very first time I heard it I was enthralled. After you experience 🔧TOOL🔧 it's kind of difficult to spend time with other music. Other bands becomes cheap, empty and childish.
Yup...the bar they've set is basically unattainable as far as I'm concerned. Each band member were so very fortunate to have found each other and we were even luckier. Musically AND lyrically they are unmatched, regardless of generation or genre...
Could not agree more. There is absolutely no other band even close and if there was, they would always be referenced as sounding like TOOL. Spiral out...keep going
5min 57sec into the two part song combined - the lyric “parable” is heard - “Twirling round with this familiar parable”. I believe the first part entitled “Parabol” is actually a homonym to “Parable”. I feel the first part is indeed a “Parable”, which is a story told or read that has a deep meaning or important life lesson that does not just jump right out and say what you should be learning from the story. A “Parabola” - lets skip the math; but, it has a starting point which moves in somewhat of an oval shape, infinitely. So I feel the human experience depicted in this master piece paints a musical picture of the duality of our existence - our mortal body and eternity. It’s beautiful.
If you haven't yet done a reaction on 46 and 2, you should. But first do a little study on the human genome, existentialism, and evolution of mind, body, and spirit in regards to reaching a higher plane of existence amd oneness with the universe... It's a lot to digest but the song becomes more of a mantra after you do and you'll find yourself reciting the lyrics when your faith in humanity is tested IMO
parabola was also a quarterly magazine begun in the seventies about spirituality, myth, and tradition. "The parabola represents the epitome of a quest. It is the metaphorical journey to a particular point, and then back home, along a similar path perhaps, but in a different direction, after which the traveler is essentially, irrevocably changed." you definitely hit on the dualism between the self reflection of a parabolic mirror, and riding the cosmic mule of self reflection. keep up the good work!
Many of Maynard's songs are a reflection of his thoughts,regrets, pity and love for his mother who had a brain aneurysm around age 26. See 10,000 days but bring a kleenex
He also states how, we all feel pain, (I imagine he meant all sensory impressions too.) We all have this body that stops us from higher thought. We are not alone in feeling these things. So we can feel empathy, and as a single conscious mind. We all take this journey together as one.
Fun fact: Tool and this song in particular helped me overcome a lot of hardships in my life, the lyrics and the melody intertwined had a direct impact on my mind to go to that place of enlightenment and get out of that dark place. This song is very special to me #allthispainisanillusion 🖖🏻👁🌀
I Love watching people react to Tool! Tool is such a spiritual space for me to be, and to go too when I feel depressed and shit! or overwhelmed. Just shut your eyes and listen. Much Love... Parabol/ Parabola is one of my faves. . Listen to Aenima, or Right in two next.
I have seen dozens of reaction videos of Tool or APC and they all really enjoy them. Either they just like it and say some crap about the song structure or instruments, or they try and sound introspective and look at the psychology of the lyrics. MJK does not put filler in his music, every sound and pause is perfectly inserted to bring a more visceral experience.
Agree with Cranboogie, what a name! There are some twisted songs from Tool, but overall, in my opinion, they are the best. Intelligent, meaningful and the band is amazing. I’m 45 now (female) and Maynard is still the best
You can't prepare, just isn't possible, none of us were prepared, we just stumbled down the rabbit hole like Alice, just walking along and then "whooooaaaaaa"......."where does this lead to", "drink what?", ohhhhhh ," the bottle was filled with enlightenment,........
Great reaction. Tool is by far my favorite band of all time. Check out Right in Two, Lateralus (my personal favorite), Vicarious and Third Eye (live version from Salival album)
No . Parabola is the structure of the Universe. The morning. Your Consciousness. Stuck in a timeless loop. Understand, you are a Consciousness stuck in the Now and Here. All of your thoughts and emotions are based on your fears. Love is far away, yet I will find you there.
My take on the song has always been that it’s an account of consciousness from the “dualist” school of thought. Human consciousness is a major frontier of modern science. We don’t know what it is, why we have it, where it comes from. But there are two major schools of thought on the matter: “materialism” which claims that consciousness is an emergent property of a complex brain (i.e. When a species’ brain meets some threshold of complexity consciousness kicks on) and “dualism” which states the mind/spirit/consciousness are separate from the body, some kind of spiritual force that is perhaps fundamental to the universe, like gravity or electromagnetism. So, to me, the song is about us (as in our consciousness or spirit) are eternal, that you, me, everyone who experiences consciousness, have existed and will continue to exist before and after the meat cage we happen to be inhabiting at this moment. And perhaps when this body dies, we’ll move on to experience another. There are many cases of near death experiences that describe a sense of just being an eternal part of the universe. I don’t necessarily subscribe to this philosophy. But I do know that since we know almost nothing about consciousness it would be intellectually irresponsible to claim anything with certainty. How I figure the term “parabola” fits in is that, on a graph, both mirrored parts of the parabola will approach their respective axis forever, infinitely, and never reach it. They are eternal, never reaching the threshold of the axis or a terminus of any sort. Their approach goes on forever. Anyway. That’s how I’ve interpreted this one. Maybe someone will read this whole thing. Maybe not haha
Man, lol. These always get me. Watching tool reactions Everytime one pops up. It's goof to see so many open minded people these days. I have been trying to listen to more rap..... Have you done any gojira yet?
I did one gojira reaction and youtube banned it, so I was like "fuck it". An yea man, I listen to a lot of older hip hop cause I can't get down with alot of this newer shit.
to me its a representation of life the way a Yogi/Yogini would describe it. In order to get enlightened you gotta live in the now, through experience you can touch another dimension of life that you simply cannot imagine, but certainly feel. The Ultimate Reality is called Brahman and the illusionary reality is called Samsara, created by Atman or Self. In other words, we create our own illusions, but in order to perceive past that we must experience life fully in the now beyond the 5 sensory senses. Thats enlightenment and to me, thats what this song describes.
That song and your perfect reaction gave me chills!! Try Tool Third Eye fan made by Sentientmind, please! The ending of this fan made directly leads into Third Eye

This is a really well done fan video, one of the better ones I've seen. Good reaction.

So, to me, the song is about us (as in our consciousness or spirit) are eternal, that you, me, everyone who experiences consciousness, have existed and will continue to exist before and after the meat cage we happen to be inhabiting at this moment. And perhaps when this body dies, we’ll move on to experience another. There are many cases of near death experiences that describe a sense of just being an eternal part of the universe.
I don’t necessarily subscribe to this philosophy. But I do know that since we know almost nothing about consciousness it would be intellectually irresponsible to claim anything with certainty.
How I figure the term “parabola” fits in is that, on a graph, both mirrored parts of the parabola will approach their respective axis forever, infinitely, and never reach it. They are eternal, never reaching the threshold of the axis or a terminus of any sort. Their approach goes on forever.
Anyway. That’s how I’ve interpreted this one. Maybe someone will read this whole thing. Maybe not haha
When I was younger I listened to Tool to fall asleep... it made for some very interesting dreams.
You should watch their Official 'Parabol/Parabola' Video.. Now that's something you need to 'Mentally Prepare' for.. 💯
Man, lol. These always get me. Watching tool reactions Everytime one pops up. It's goof to see so many open minded people these days. I have been trying to listen to more rap..... Have you done any gojira yet?
I did one gojira reaction and youtube banned it, so I was like "fuck it". An yea man, I listen to a lot of older hip hop cause I can't get down with alot of this newer shit.
You got it bud! Better trippin balls.
Tool isnt an army but a philosophy. My opinion
Definitely check out "Jambi" by Tool
Tool Army is here! To me it's about the acceleration and deceleration of life.
to me its a representation of life the way a Yogi/Yogini would describe it. In order to get enlightened you gotta live in the now, through experience you can touch another dimension of life that you simply cannot imagine, but certainly feel. The Ultimate Reality is called Brahman and the illusionary reality is called Samsara, created by Atman or Self. In other words, we create our own illusions, but in order to perceive past that we must experience life fully in the now beyond the 5 sensory senses. Thats enlightenment and to me, thats what this song describes.
Great insights. Thank you.
Wow, you need to react to more Tool. If this song gets you thinking , lol
I truly believe you will love this band.
