Lyrics:
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see there is so much more
And beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
Come embrace my desire to, come embrace my desire to,
Feel the rhythm, to feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power,
To witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral, to swing on the spiral, swing on the spiral.
Of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going, going

For those who suffer anxiety and depression. This song and this band really just fits into your life perfectly
true facts
tool is indeed strong musical medicine, if you would like to name it like that. but you still have to cure your depressions or whatever you call it by yourself.
@@TheMykHyn gotta learn to let go let go… let go let gooooo
@@TheMykHyn Obviously the OP wasn't alluding to it being a cure-all. Just that it fits your circumstance, i.e. something to identify with. That doesn't mean it's a "cure" because there is no "cure" for depression, people who think there is are in for a rude awakening. You can become a relatively healthy and functional person but it doesn't mean you are "cured"... that's simply not how mental illness works. Pretty sure you just wanna get on that high horse and talk down to people with that comment though... I don't think you know what you're talking about in reality. Ugh. Just the worst kind of person.

Does anyone else listen to TOOL right before bed and try to drift into a dream like state where you still hear the music? That shit is surreal to me.
I only hear this album before bed, it cleans my mind and takes me to another site
all the time
I used to do this during my senior year. It wasn't just Tool, but other bands with slow chill songs as well. But yeah man, Tool's songs had like the biggest hypnotic mental trans state during those nights. It was great
This shit probably gives you the most insane lucid dreams lol
I just woke up way too early this morning and decided to turn on some tool. Here I am lol
I am an introvert who doesn' t get out very often, but this makes me travel around the universe :3
Out is over rated.
I almost never leave my house, I'm an extreme introvert and slightly agoraphobic it manifested from my severe epilepsy, I have them so much it makes me afraid to go places or associate with friends in public. It's a real burden, I turn to music a lot to help cope
qué comentario más pelotudo
You must keep reminding yourself of this
We can tell from your nerd virgin Ioser weeb pfp
True story. How I discovered Tool and this song I was in a really dark place and was in a mental health hospital and opened the drawer in my room and these lyrics were written on the inside of the drawer. I had no idea who wrote them or that it was Tool but instantly felt connected and it actually gave me a lot of hope for the future. I love very few things more than I do this band.
I hope your mental health is much better, fruende.
That's sick, props to that stranger.
How did you find out what song it was?
A gift.
WOW! HAND OF GOD if you ask me. I was an addict and alcoholic for many years. TOOL and GOD ( not in that order) got me sober May6 2018 and I'm STILL SOBER. IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. I hope you're doing well. Much love and many BLESSINGS to you, friend.
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
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
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...
Gonna wait it out
Gonna wait it out
Wait it out
Gonna wait it out

Weird I seen that at 222 likes lmao
5:42 is one of the best climaxes to a song I’ve ever heard, the layered vocals in the chorus, the soaring guitar melody, the drums cymbal crashes synced with Justin’s perfect chord outline really make this song special
But it doesn’t stop there absolute tool overload for the rest of the song. Absolute unit of a band
Wow didn’t even pick up on the guitar with the vocals. Just brought this song to another level….I’ve been listening to this song over and over for so long and completely missed this
My band was practicing this to play Live, hearing Adams part on the climax is stunning, it's simple yet absolutely beautiful , it most brought tears, almost.
Yessir I completely agree with this. I must have heard this song conservatively 1000 times or some shit but this part still occasionally moves me to tears
its genius and perfect in every way i would ever want it to be
Tool has the most amazing hypnotizing sounds like no other
hell yeah. Tool is awesome.
Some of tool reminds me of old 70s moog machine music. Like " Lucifer black mass " or anything " Tomita"
Tool is really good at making me question what the song is about
@@SuperCitizen420 Right! it's about You and how it makes You feel
Yea the mandelbot is big in there tunes
One of my absolute favorites from Lateralus. I was a teen growing up in an abusive household, and this song was enough to help tide me over until I could escape. I still remember so vividly the first time playing through the album, as a whole, every track back to back, and just breaking down in tears. So many beautiful songs, so many emotions, and now so many memories. It doesn't take as much to get away from things physically sometimes compared to mentally or emotionally, and I've spent years working to build myself up and out, I'm still working on it! I suspect there isn't really ever an end to it :P but I just wanted to say thank you to all the members of Tool, for helping a vulnerable girl (and now woman) grow into her own. Your music helped me feel less alone, less worthless, and less confused. Your music helped to encourage my empathy and understanding, to convince me that I was on the right track, and to shun the bitter impulses that want to wither away all of the things that make us capable of kindness and greatness. It's very easy to lash out and turn to rage, to substances, to the external, to deal with what we go through. Your music helped me to ensure that I would never become what I hated. Thank you.
Shout out to other particularly touching tracks from your catalogue: Prison Sex (all time favorite), Intolerance, Reflection, Lateralus, Pushit, H., Sober, Wings for Marie (Pt. 1 & 2). By no means an inclusive list, just the ones off of the top of my head that struck a chord with me way back then and continue to do so today.
Thank you for your story. We appreciate it.
But I'm still right here giving blood keeping faith
@@Hexenkind1 Thank you, that really made my day :')
@@toolshedinc23 No, Thank you, you really made mine. My respect Tool you...
Keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden...dig it. 🧘
This song is like a shark attack. It arrives quietly, then attacks ...and keeps circling and attacking until there's nothing left of your eardrums. Then it leaves you as quietly as it arrived
Not to.me haha
I see how u see that tho lol
The drummer is an octopus tho.
You smoke a great porro
Whatevere you say, as long as we dig tool, who I cannot get enough of.
I’ve been turned down from yet another job. I’m 30 and live at home with autism, ADHD, and depression. It feels like the world’s pushing me out and I keep fighting back. I use this song as a prayer to God and I remember that I’m not alone on this journey and will keep waiting it out.
You got this brother. Fuck the corporate.
You are not alone and you are loved. ❤️
you seem to gather your words well for someone that has such issues. I'm sorry, I don't buy it
You got this man. You'll have a good job soon.
@@davidsheehan4799 Thanks, friend. I believe something good is coming for me too.
I always associate this song with my older brother Niel. He died of pancreatic cancer about 7 years ago. He was a big fan of Tool and borrowed me some of their albums when I was younger and in high school.
To me I see this song as a type of metaphor for chemotherapy, my brother chose to do chemotherapy even though it really didn't do him any good. The statistics gave him a year to live after diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is one of the absolute worst cancers and they even cut him open to view if the cancer had spread(hoping to stop it before it could), but the cancer had spread and that basically assured him that his fate was sealed. But, he still did chemotherapy because he had a loving wife and he loved his two daughters. He was only 37 years old and he would've done anything to have another second with them. He still lived life to the fullest in that year he had, we all went to Six Flags and he did everything there, he had fun with everything and how he would smile. He was always optimistic, and a spiritual man.
So how I see this song, is as his song. As a man, father or any woman or person who has chosen the harder way, purely out of just being hopeful and being patient. Optimistic. Holding onto anything to get through.
If I was diagnosed with cancer I don't know what I'd do, but it would come across my mind to end the suffering quickly. I think everyone has had that thought, thinking to go out with a bang instead of withering.
I'll always respect Niel for the path he walked for his family and his daughters. I love him very much, and wish I would've gotten to know him much better than I did.
I was a stupid high school kid when he died, more concerned about things that didn't matter or wrapped up in my own opinions.
I've realized something, just now. Niel didn't wither away, he left a resounding impact on me and many others.
Cherish those types of people in your life! And LIVE YOUR LIVES!!!❤
Thanks for that brother! ❤
@@musicmex ❤️ thank you too!
Man this hits home with me bc my brother also passed away from Pancreatic cancer in Nov 2017. He lasted 6 months after he was diagnosed with it. He chose not to do chemotherapy bc of all the side effects and I agree Pancreatic Cancer is terrible I watched him pass away right in his bed bc he didn’t wanna die in a hospital. But their both in a better place now
@@ManofSteel80 agreed! Thanks for sharing your story with me!!
FUCK CANCER! So sorry man!
Gotta say, this is the Tool song that actually made me hang on for one more day, everyday, during some really dark times. The simple message I took from it really helped me when I had no choice but to sit and stew in my feelings. Sometimes I still have to come back and sit in these feelings with this song.
Glad you made it out ❤
I totally get you, same here... i heal from a very nasty illnes.. almost like 3 years took me to recover... but we actually heal so... just be patient...
Hopefully, with a newly discovered piece of your smile. Plus, an ease of shoulder tension (cause, I think this song is gnarly and beautiful, too) 🤘👋✌️
Эта группа отлично подходит для тестирования аппаратуры, особенно если собираешься взять что-нибудь другое!
Absolutely my fave. Last time I saw in Grand Rapids MI-they played it ❤❤❤3xs I saw before they never played it
5:32 is one of the greatest parts of any Tool song
cg2916 hell yeah it is
Agreed. and the emotionally inverted greatest moment is ticks and leeches, the first I hope you're choking
Dude I heard that riff in a dream once, then listened to this song and I couldn't figure out where I'd heard it before!
Total agree bro
The vocal melody is similar to a Nirvana song but I can't put my finger on it
Something about this song still resonates with me to this day. Maynard's voice sounds PAINFULLY passionate and distraught like he just overcame pure and utter hell.
I'm taking care of an elderly relative, has early dementia, very difficult. This song is my life's soundtrack right now. Hits my soul and gives me the will to keep going. Thanks Tool. Greatest band EVER.
🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
@@BoWeava thank you , yes prayers have helped for sure.
@@justinpolk1331 You're welcome bro...👊😉
This song has stuck with me through the years as well, and will pop into my head just when I need It most. I'll be Forever Grateful for the space that TooL occupies in my conscious and subconscious consciousnesses!
Remember...whatever tries to kill a strong Heart...will only make It stronger...🙏🏻
'Can' are the greatest band ever. I discovered them not long after getting into Tool -Lateralus and thinking that they were the greatest band ever. Halleluwah by them blows the tits off of everything else..
Justin, sorry about your relative. Try mct oil and coconut oil
Lateralus is a fucking masterpiece
I concur
Timeless.. and can listen to it everyday and go on a journey everytime
"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"
One of my all time favorite lyrics from Maynard
I will work to elevate you, but just enough to bring you down
Any idea what hes talking about? Not 1000 percent positive but if you read the alcoholics anonymous book, it literally is this subject. Healing yourself by healing others.
@@stephenthompson3062 I think he's talking about his arts influence on other people and how music can truly help people in bad times. I think with this song he wants to motivate and truly talk to struggling fans, whether it's overcoming drug addiction or depression, or just a rough day in someone's life. It's a kick in the ass to himself and himself to keep pushing forward.
@@stephenthompson3062 The song is referring to his mother who was paralyzed. I believe the song is from her perspective. Maynard obviously isn't religious but his mom was, its her basically saying if there was no god at the end of all this suffering i would have "walked away by now".she must be patient and keep faith to be able to keep living that way. Listen to the song again with it being from her perspective and it makes a lot more sense.
Idk man "country boner" is a strong contender as well
This song reminds me why I keep going on everyday after my husband's death. I listen to this on the way to therapy and helps me get through it
So sorry for your loss. I’m glad this song helps you through it. Tool is truly something special. I just got into them 4 months ago!
I lost my hubby too in july 2020 my condolences to u. tool was our favorite this song helps so much❤
@@valcooremans9756 I'm so sorry. Tomorrow is one year for me. I saw tool the day before he passed. If you ever wanna chat msg me here and we can exchange info
I lost my son last March... Every time I listen or think of this song it brings me to tears...
@@evilnectarine4157 im sorry for your loss

this song has carried me through the toughest battles
"I must keep reminding myself of this" ; that part is just beautiful.
This is one of the best songs they ever made imo
This is one of the best songs ever period
@@loretta4293idk man, descending is pretty filthy too
It’s so fucking good man! One of my favorites as well! Hands down!
@@HairyHotDogzthe production on fear inoculum feels like a damn movie
This is one of the more overlooked gems from this album imo. This whole album is superb, but certain tracks like Schism, The Grudge, Lateralus, and Parabola get mentioned the most. I find this song to be on par with all if not most of the others, but it's little talked about.
It's good- heck, it's even great... it's just got the unfortunate position of being a great song sandwiched between GOATs...
It's like- everyone in the NBA is a seriously good basketball player; they're all star players that probably drove local/small/school teams to championships... but once in the NBA? They're up against the top stars of all time.
I listened to this song three times waiting to join a GTA lobby.
That's patience
GTA is waste of time. Listening to this Song is not.
Lmfaooo
The struggles
Looks like you had to “wait it out”.
I just realized the song was called The Patient, as in the virtue, and not a doctor's client. It makes so much more sense now, although Tool is always up to interpretation.
same lol
I think it has two meanings. The song is about having the will to hang on, overcome suicidal thoughts and wait for betterness. The narrator is mentally fighting for his life like a hospital patient physically fights for theirs.
Bro it literally says "Gonna wait it ouuuut" like 20 times 😂
It's absolutely a dual meaning here. Patience, the virtue, as is being patient. And Patient as in an individual being a "patient" or waiting as you do for medical or emotional care. Also this is just my opinion so who really knows? heh
This song is a grower for me. Growers are the best because you can look back to how you discovered new gems and nurtured the track until it blossomed before you.
Yeah, I'd say this definitley is a grower not a shower of a song, that's for sure
I second this statement
that was third eye for me tbh. i listened to that song like 20 times before i started to like it.
This song touches me on a deep level
I just now realized how that comes off
The feeling is mutual. Reminds me of an immensely intense Shroom Trip. But bruh you were the scariest SCP.
On your g spot
Same
This song touches me more than my uncle does.
@@tomgreenfan bro you are everywhere
Tool's most unappreciated song.
Says who? Who decides these things? No tool song is under appreciated.
Lyrical Jones what do you mean “who decides these things”? It’s not some sort of scientific, definitive fact; it’s an observation that this song is generally under-appreciated. I tend to agree. You always hear about ‘Lateralus’, ‘Eulogy’ and ‘The Grudge’, but this song rarely comes up in discussions of Tool’s greatness.
Not by me. Always felt and loved this song✌
this track makes me paranoid that I haven't actually heard Lateralus all the way through all these years ... too many good songs that you forget are on X album or the other
Disposition has a different feel to it.
My doctor told me I have severe depression. Listening to stuff like this, it feels like they understand and I feel something.
I love that as Tool’s fans, if a song is not a masterpiece, it is underrated 🎷🐛
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
What did you do?
Same for me bro! I was at a level 5 camp here in AL for a few years. I kept the lyrics posted up on my rack for anytime I needed a reminder. Amazing the power behind something so simple.
I'ts not simple if give you that kind of influence man!, TOOL is so powerful, sometimes so much that scares, so well done!
@@TheConejoooo It really is though.
@@DakotaofRaptors hardly an appropriate question
This hits at 2am when everything is calm and no human individual is talking.
Omg same tho lol its 2 am for me
That cymbal work in the verse is fuckin ridiculous I can’t even comprehend the timing. Danny’s operating in another plane of existence.
Tool is probably the only band that I've listened to that does time signatures well, without it getting tedious. Danny is almost always in a different signature without the band sounding exhausted or dissonant.
This song seriously CARRIED me through SEVERE opiate withdrawal. Just thinking about that time and listening to this song makes tears well up in my eyes because it was such a tough battle, but the way I see it, I’m stronger now because of it
100 percent lateralus and right in 2 did it for me
Was my exact thoughts too and then I saw your comment haha. Goin thru it right now
@@adriengeorge9107 PLEASE stick with it. I remember how emotional and hopeless I felt the first couple weeks- keep listening to songs like this and watching motivational stuff. Another thing that was VERY important (and what helped me recover faster)- go to the gym as soon as you’re able to!! Even if you’re sweating and restless and feel like garbage, just put a hoodie on and some sweatpants and ride the stationary bike as long as u can (and stretch out). Even if u only go for 5-10 mins and can barely do it, it really helps to heal ur brain. Then, push yourself to do more and more as time goes on. DO NOT GIVE UP! I’m rooting for you bro!
Big Pharma blows
Fuck yeah
I’ve listened to this one a lot during my cancer treatment.It was truly a spiritual journey 💜
Hope all is going well for you, i'm genetically predisposed to bowel cancer. When the can no longer operate, that's what i have to look forward to.
@Illuminator Pain is not an illusion ( spiritual bypassing classic technique used by many fake teachers out there ) - u got to embody it fully - than u can transcend it & understand it helped u reclaim more SOUL consciousness within . If u keep using that fake identity technique , u will transcend nothing , not even the karma u brought with u in the life time .
How’s your cancer? Hope it went away!!! Stay away from big pharma and seek natural ways to heal. Fast, cayanne pepper, castor oils, edible mushrooms, ivermectin, the earth provides us everything we need by our creator, whomever you choose to believe that is. God bless you my friend!
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL INTROS I'VE EVER LISTENED
I remember back in 2003, I was SOOOOOOOOOO stoned listening to this song on my new stereo.
I haven't experienced anything like that before or since, my essence left my body, and it was literally IN the music.
I can't describe it.
no need to explain I get it
Lol you sure it wasn't salvia
@@phillipsmusic3871
Yeah, at that point I had been smoking weed for less than a year, it hit me harder back then.
I've done salvia, and it's terrifying, it changes music, but not in a good way at all.
I know what you mean
heavy song for sure.
43 years of narcissism..I still haven't managed to walk away..these words punch me in the gut...hard.
Do it... your soul will thank you later... tedious path you’ve chosen here...
@@xrtjrp-ix1rb I agree but walking away or escaping feels impossible. I've tried and I feel worse without her in my life. It almost has come to feeling normal and without it, it feels wrong and sick. Thank you though. One day soon, I hope 🙏
If it feels wrong and sick is it really narcisism tho?
@@variedgaming5402 um yes. My mother is a narcissist plain and simple. She's made life on this earth a living hell for me. Not so sure what you are implying but its not easy walking away from a parent. But that is the plan shortly.
don't feel alone Liz I'm 36, everyone roughly our parents' age is a raging narcissist, it's just their environment, they don't care, it's normal to them. what do you mean I should think about the expense, impact and lost opportunities of my RV and hot tub...?
One of their greatest musical arts.
Fight against narcissistic people pls
I'm not sure that makes sense
But yeah
7empest is becoming my favourite. 15 minutes of pure bliss.
Cool man, the penisy badguy
4:40 probably the darkest, heaviest riff ever. Makes my heart squeeze in both fear and elation.
2:22 and Pneuma sound pretty similar, LOVE IT
yeah but im always waiting for that hook lol
I associated these two songs the second I heard that 😄
2:14 has to be one of my favorite parts of a song, its indescribable.
5:00 Our patience has finally payed off lol!
chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug
I remember being a physics undergrad back in 2014, when I started to listen to tool. I was doing some homework when I found this song for the first time. And it did hit me really hard, the hypnotizing rythm is amazing.
This song is literally flawless .
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.
Well have this shit, just take meds, dont sniff/drink and it will be fine
My sympathy, going through some stuff myself, emotional unsability personality disorder, ptsd and recovering alcoholic and substance abuse. Hang in there.
This will forever ALWAYS be one of my top favorite TooL songs.
That riff at 5:21 pierces through my heart. GODDAMN!
0:55 i love that low pitched boom
Open E brought to you by Justin Chanceller

This isn’t my top favorite tool songs, but it’s definitely the most underrated tool song I believe. It’s near the top.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of this masterpiece!!!
Gonna wait it out...the anthem of so much in life.
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...
Lucky
honestly wish they would do that every show. love the pot but its been played live so many times. and well you know..... the patient is the patient so of course i wanna hear it.
"Hey everyone, we´re out of Pot, so you all have to be Patient" :-D
God fucking dammit I hope this happens next time I see them
Almost 20 years since first discovering Tool and they're still the one band that takes my spirit to the right place at the right time
This song pretty much defines 'perfection'. That bass line haunts me every single time. An epic and majestic rollercoaster of emotions. I'm grateful for every 7 minutes of being alive, breathing and hearing this over and over because there's no way of getting tired of this masterpiece.
This has always been one of my favorites, I can't say favorite because let's be honest you can't pick a favorite tool song
True true
the best Tool song is the last one you heard...always...
@@nymnyr4565 LITERALLY
31 years old and started listening to this band when I was 15. I always go back to this song. Not as a big fan as I used to be in my youth. There's just something about this song....
You're still in your youth though 🙂
I remember being 12 and blasting this entire album from beginning to end in my bedroom on a weeknight with no lights on vibing...before weed, before cigarettes...all natural intangible high. I wwnt to see the Lateralus tour that summer and it was the best concert ever...me and my 13 year old cousin snuck to the pit and I still remember that concert like it was yesterday.
Same bro, same...at 14yrs old. Saw the Lateralus tour in 02 with Meshuggah.
This song still gives me chills.
This song is just a masterpiece. My personal favorite Tool song.
Same
THIS!
I'm not alone!
I somehow hadn’t heard “The Patient” until this year. I don’t know how.
Now I’m convinced it’s one of their best. I’m mesmerized by it
same 🫀
This is the best album ever written and performed .
Makes you want to quit your job and figure things out
must be a shit job
@@wedothis1563 it's just a shit song
Makes you want to become a pseudointellectual and make deep comments on the internet.
Navigator Ž whats wrong with you
@@navigator_g don't be an ass.
Listened to this while tripping on shrooms and I just bawled my eyes out cause of how beautiful it sounded. And still sounds.
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
"I must keep reminding myself of this" has to be the most emotive part in any Tool track, when he just goes up that octave and you can hear the fucking agony. That and the "before we pine away" in Reflection.
During live versions I'd say Reflection is number 1, check out denver july 21st 2002
Also “I don’t mind” in H. Chills every time I listen
As a 23 year old who has had multiple heart surgeries to sustain his living, I connect with this song on such a very intense level.
keep feeling the Soul within your body/mind bro - thats the key to be alive
Man, I just love Tool.
Me too
2:37 is one of the most powerful harmonies in all of music ever.
2:18 to 3:00 always causes me to tear up, this section alone is what has helped me get through all the shitty things that have happened to me recently. Thank you Tool..
This literally made me break down in tears. SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
Figuratively
Tool turned me into a seeker of the truth..... Not only Maynard. I feel that needs to be said.. TOOL FOREVER! GOAT!
I don't have a traumatic experience, this song is just cool as hell
Quarantine song. It may take a while, but this will end.
I'm mostly listening to DG instead, as this loneliness feeds my bad thoughts
Holy 💩 I didn't even think about this song amid all this turmoil but it's brilliant! Gonna wait it out, be patient, I must keep reminding myself of this 😍😍💖
@iccabobb creed huh
@iccabobb creed you talking 5G? They made it, they banned it in their own country.
my therapist wanted me to try guided medition, she said "5-7 minutes" long, and a light bulb immediately went off in my head. so i asked her if it would be okay to listen to familiar music in the process. when she gave me the green light i knew right away which song to go to.
Sometimes when I'm doing something boring I say "A groan of tedium escapes me."
This song deserves more attention. Absolute gem!
Man, what a masterpiece...
He just sounds so fucking lost at the beginning and defeated and like he’s shrunk himself into the smallest being he could possibly become. His voice is so sad and soft and just the sound of anguish and frustration can be heard. You can truly tell he’s tired of the subject matter.
One of the greatest songs ever made!
Badmotorfinger 🤘
😅😊
5:29
i've listened to this song thousands of times over the last 20 years and i just fucking realized Adam plays a different note (full step) on this specific transition into the final repetition of that 5/8 riff, rather than hitting the same note in the 1-2 the way he does from the beginning of it.
jesus christ this band will never stop blowing my mind.
I often play Tool at the retirement community I work for, and one of the residents in particular (a 90 year old woman) enjoys this background music as I do her care needs. This band has helped me and others pass by time through their timeless tales of wonderful music. Thank you Tool!
Man i cooked at a retirement facility and they thought zep was too wild, i did get away with devil makes three and other goth-hillbilly stuff, also developed a love for lots of oldies there,but never tries tool regretably.
Thanks for your work
I just saw tool live yesterday. It was my first concert for them, and it was awesome.
So many Tool tracks have helped people move through awful shit in their lives And I can see why
My favorite Tool song. I love how the final climax at the end of the song brings a feeling of hope.
One of the more unknown and forgotten songs from this era of Tool. Pure Masterpiece.
The wall of guitar at 2:22 is so immense
That middle of the song breakdown is so insanely aggressive. I can't wrap my brain around it. Underrated gem.
The thing I don't understand about TOOL is it really speaks to me. My whole world tastes like a brick to me and I feel nothing yet my feelings collectively feel TOOL on a personal level. Kind of cool and it motivates me to not lose myself to depression over what happened to me. It has to be a test.
Pneuma's older sibling. FI is really felt like Lateralus 2.0
Loved FI but it cant be lateralus 2.0 without aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa let go let go let go
@@noname558 underrated comment
@@noname558 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.
@@jpthemusicenjoyer For some reason, it reminded me a lot of "H.".
in times like these you can either be patient or patient
Exactly
And another shout to one of the greatest albums of all time. TOOL IS GOSPEL.
Will always be my personal favorite on the album...
You and l included.
Same to me
@@anteyefolkzz7755 good for you two
This or The Grudge
Without the shadow of a doubt my all time favorite song. The section from 5:12 till the end never fails to chill my body and water my eyes. Incredible a song can cause that in someone
The way he sings "Gonna wait it out, wait it out" is so stunning 🫶
6:32
Man, the way Adam phases out and Justin comes back in with Danny without anything else just gives me so much chills.
This song documents the very first steps towards enlightenment; realizing you are the source of your own misery, and intuitively knowing that there is a meaning to life.
What a load of shit if u believe that u are stupid.
There is no meaning to life
The afterlife is the consequences of your earthly life actions
Plus this song is about someone on the verge of giving up completely (suicide)
"If there were no rewards to reap. No loving embrace to see me through" The dudes all alone but doesnt want to end it all and get fucked over for good.
God this hits me so hard every time
Pow! Right in the kisser.
Bam
*blows vape*
ADAM
This song gets me through the worse of life's challenges
