Lyrics:
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
Certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus
Sideshow of freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your Prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car
It's a Bullshit three ring circus
Sideshow of freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fucking time, any fucking day
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits
And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit
One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
'Cause mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's coming 'round to put it back the way it ought to be
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Fuck L Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones
Fuck all those gun-toting hip gangster wannabes
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Fuck retro anything
Fuck your tattoos
Fuck all you junkies and
Fuck your short memory
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Yeah, fuck smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas
Fuck these dysfunctional insecure actresses
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim
'Cause I'm praying for rain
I'm praying for tidal waves
I want to see the ground give way
I want to watch it all go down
Mom, please flush it all away
I want to see it go right in and down
I want to watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away
Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call me pessimist
Try and read between the lines
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend
I wanna see it come down
Bring it down, suck it down, flush it down
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I am 46, fighting brain cancer, woke up sick today after completing round 4 of chemotherapy. This is the song I went to. It's blaring in my ears right now. What a perfect song.
A lot of these comments are jokes but yours seems serious and I hope you're doing better man.
No joke, diagnosed in Oct '21. Had it removed, doing a year of meds. I graduated high school in '95 and Tool has never left me. Every album a gem. When music causes your endorphins to flow, your adrenaline to rush, and goosebumps all over your body, it's a natural pain reliever and mood booster. Next time you're sick or feel like shit all over, listen to the song that lifts you from your chair all by itself...LOUD 👍
Oh, and I should be ok. We maybe caught it early enough.
Damn dude, we're the same age... Your comment just gave me a gut punch. Sending you prayers and good vibes that you kick cancer's ass. As for this song, you are spot on with the adrenaline rush... Good for the soul.
Your a warrior man keep up the good work!! I wish you the best in this life and sending you positive energy 🤍
I'll put some prayers in for you. I'm a stage IV cancer survivor myself....6 months of chemo and 6 surgeries...that was over 12 years ago and I'm still here at the age of 57. If it helps, I chose not to put forth anger against the cancer but projected love onto it through constant creative visualization and meditation. While doing so, I told it that it did not belong in my body and instructed it to politely leave. I have found that when one fights against something, it tends to resist and fights back. By projecting love onto the cancer, it listened and went away.
I’m 73 and Tool is the only thing keeping me sane these days. Peace.
Tim Slade, there's a time and a musical selection for every occasion. I'm no youngster, and I hear you!
Peace love and ganja
real OG right here
Rock on!!
peace
I'm 13,800,000,000 years old and I would like to personally thank Tool for single-handidly creating the entire universe and keeping the laws of physics together.
Underoverated commitmentedation
Tool sets the timing for the Atomic clock they are that good !!!!! Genius !!!
🤔

Whoopsie...
I am 59 and my granddaughter is 16. It's Tool time for her
i am 36 , I grew up on TOOL. I have two kid under 5 and they LOVE TOOL. I hope your granddaughter does.
❤
It's always tool time
Me pasa lo mismo con mis hijos de 15 y 10 años.
Adoran a Tool, como yo
Argh argh argh... Tool Time... Hilarious!
I'm 51 and unfortunately in a nursing home. Other residents are getting tired of hearing Tool blasted on my Bluetooth speaker everyday.
turn it up louder.
Turn it up, bro! Live your best life!
LOUDER
Phuc em
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Spiral Out!!
Over 30 years later and this song is still as true and relevant as ever. It could have been written yesterday. Truly a timeless masterpiece.
Like LITERALLY Yesterday lol!! BEST SONG IN THEIR DISCOGRAPHY!! IMO!
It's more true today than ever before.
it's not been 30 years

How he's willing to involve himself in such danger just to see society fall
The request is under review.
@@nickypoundtown9568 He cares not for his own life either, because it is well worth the flushing of this shithole.
Oh shit! Thats what he is saying! Why is this song so negative??
Why cant it be about watermellon sugar highs 😤
The older I get the more I appreciate this band.
It takes a rare soul to appreciate it in the childhood, but he did some incredible things that the music evolves with you. The only other media I've seen do that is the bible. I'm not saying Maynard is Jesus, but you can certainly get to some holy places sitting back and listening. He's certainly both the solution and problem to the band, I love it all.
Weird huh? I noticed that too, and I loved TOOL as a teen
Same here! I didn’t really like them at all when they were big in the 90’s-00’s, but now I can appreciate them a lot more. I’ve found that I’m liking a lot of different stuff now than when it was new, I was a lot younger, and certainly more musically narrow/close minded to boot.
Weird how that works, right? End up appreciating a lot more artsy stuff over time, that kinda thing.
The band records the music, then Maynard follows up with the lyrics and singing.
"Don't just call me a pessimist, try and read between the lines" - so fucking true
This is very prominent in a movie called “ghost in the shell” very good movie about change and diverse thinking 😊😊
@@mackpunch368 Division is good
America will soon crash if dems continue with their covid bull💩 we are about to face food crisis in the coming months probably by Dec. They wont let the 61 cargo ships offload an Los Angeles port in California. They are just circling around at sea all because covid restrictions. Some of the people that listen to this are democratic tools and dont think they will be effected when 💩it goes down. Some of them that listen to this are so dumb they cant see this song talks about them They will attempt to take from others that have prepared and got food but most that have done that have a lot of guns and ammo good luck going the zombie route🤣
sad that he has to explain his genius.. Do not cast pearls before swine.
@@spankthemonkey3437 😖🤦♂️ my friend,
Thinking that their is any substantial difference between dems & Republicans only shows the media indoctrination you have been subjected to. That saddens me a little slightly.
Ill break it down very simply.
BOTH parties are equally corrupt. Whom do they work for? Who funds politicians when legal bribery accepted as daily business? BOTH parties have 1 job, its to "fund raise,not do whats best for the people " their real job is to funnel wealth upwards. You know this, or at least should. But i dont blame you or youre words, they are just naive & fundamentally molded by a lifetime of propaganda by the establishment. I.e. the 1%. You vilifying 50+% of the country, you're fellow Americans. Youre neighbors, friends, family. ( whom are brainwashed to think that their buddy, friend, family is crazy) it keeps us fighting eachother, instead of fighting for things like privacy, freedom of speech, universal health care,education, a living wage.
Please stop thinking that 1 party is better, they are bought by the same people.
I think the jimmy Dore show , chris hedges, Howard zinn can help open youre eyes wider than i can, check them out.
My brother passed away 17 years ago at the age of 21, this was one of his favorite songs. He wouldn't believe this bullsh** we are all living in today, this song could never be more relevant
May your brother RIP, for what that's worth
No doubt and sorry about your loss!!
ITS. NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE!!!!!????!!
Sorry for the loss for your brother. I saw them live in Boston. November 2019 after years of waiting. I am 40 now.
Same thing i sometimes think about all souls i knew that passed away already.
In a way we know nothing and maybe that's good.
"I couldn't imagine why you wouldn't,
welcome any change.. my friend"
That line hits pretty hard.
always has.
Trump's election brought tons of change. Yet the more things change, the more things stay the same. People are still fucking stupid. Hope you know how to swim.
@@OneManCast People can say what they want about Trump and politics and the issues in America but we went from a country that refused to elect a President that didn’t serve in the Military to electing a reality TV show host. I don’t know what Make America Great Again is supposed to mean but Biden and Trump ain’t it. All these people worshipping politicians like cults need to get their heads checked.
@@OneManCast why do people have to attach everything to politics
@@tylergannon7398 Completely agree, we just need a truly moderate, capitalist candidate. Restructure and maintain. I don’t want to choose between having my taxes thrown around at dumb shit or getting fucked by corporations.

I'm not even born yet. I'm manifesting energy from beyond the beyond to state I have been a TOOL fan since before they themselves even came to creation as I already knew their existence was well underway
You're the chosen one The Youngest Tool fan here is you medal sir
You have skills!!😃
Dude LOL
You on acid bro? Lol
They're ogt, from '92, the first ep
People keep commenting how relevant this is in X year, but nobody wants to admit that this is a tale as old as time. That humanity has been humanity's greatest enemy since there were two people.
As long as there are two people on the planet, someone is gonna want someone else gone
Now what????
But only for the last 80 years have we truly had the power to actually annihilate ourselves with the push of a button.
But we seemingly prefer to do it the slow way. By repeating history, and allowing ourselves to be subservient to a thing. All the while, that thing is killing us.
This
While simultaneously humanity has always been humanity's possible savior or destroyer. No one else is coming, so if we don't realize it by "learning" we will surely "sink" into self destruction.
This song has never been more relevant than it is now in the year 3065.
liar
@@mafia_dave32 they're obviously not lying.
Tell Doug I said Hey
Lol smh your Killin me in the year 3074
shit we have to wait that long for Cali to sink in the ocean? thats too long man from the future.
Never has this song sung more true then now.....
Indeed
So true
gotta love uneducated americans fidgeting with frustration about the world around them with absolutely no clue why it is that way or how it could be different. chefs kiss. congratulations, lizards.
I'm 80 years old and when I had a massive heart attack 2 years ago they're was no one around to help me. So I played this song at 11 and grabbed my 2 Bose speakers and placed them on my chest and jump started my heart with TOOL. Now I listen to them daily and I have never felt healthier in my entire life!
Thank you TOOL,
You saved my life!
Spiral on :)
You are my hero.
I'm releasing a video soon about how to make a quick home made TOOL defibrillator in an emergency
@@IsraelLong131 sounds good.
You’re old man lol
I'm currently 2 months out from birth, I still remember blasting this every day back in the second trimester, those were the days
Lmao!! IKR!! Feel sorry for the fetuses these days!!!😳🙈
hows that Mustard Gas been treating you lately?
Well Burtlefurp, I’m 70 and very much appreciate your creativity. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice try. Do you have any real stories to speak of?
Stupid
When Maynard said: "Learn to swim" I, as someone who doesn't know how to swim, felt that.
jos jedan vise razlog da naucis buraz ;)
You best learn to swim before the meteor
Nothing to it though just relax and float we are buoyant
nauci da plivas
Feels bad man, same here
God Danny's drumming in this is just 🤯 with Maynard's magical voice, Adam's rhythmic guitar and Justin's bad ass bass. I love Tool.
Tool Army people!!
James righst all lyrics
Danny's drums will forever reach tendrils through my adhd brain. 100% a visceral effect
Well said…all of you
This is the best Song to wake up in the morning😂❤❤
Album is 25 years old today. Still smacks
AMEN!!!!🔥🔥
Today is the first time I’m hearing it and it sounds in line with their more recent albums. Similar style yet so different
DiCaprio wouldn't
Time isn't real...all time is all illusion...
Fr tho it’s a bop
When I'm sick of the world's bulls*** this song gives me a strange melancholic feeling of peace truly a masterpiece
i have to say,your comment.....i TOATTLY agree!!!!
Your so right
yes! me too.
Yeah I was sitting here feeling blissful listening to it, it always fills me full of energy. Despite the lyrics this song has made me feel euphoric every time I've heard it for the last 20 years.
its sad bec this word is an amazing place, an awesome living orchestra with non linear cycles of life. Its the governments and, religion control fucks that have made life such a shit waste of time, by creating a linear timeline, heaven and hell fear propaganda, and making slaves out of people. Eat Shit Sleep Go To Work, give us your money or go to hell. hahahahh
I'm taking my 15 year old son and 17 year old nephew to see Tool and I have absolutely no regrets. Teach em young guys 💗
The cool aunt/mom
Going to see them Feb 2nd with my wife tickets secured
Yeah I just turned 14 and 80s to 90s rock and metal are pretty much all I listen too and I agree teach young hope you guys had a great time
That sounds dope. As being quite young and liking Tool you are a god send
I'm going to see them this January! it was a birthday/Christmas gift from my mom. I grew up listening to TOOL all my life for as long as I remember, I recently turned 15 myself and it's amazingly shocking just so many words cannot express how lucky I am to hear them live. I hope anyone who is seeing them has the best experience ever
This song took a great approach to this dystopia
Looking for this comment.
My thought's also.
I cannot get over how beautiful Keenan's voice is, he's subtle when it calls for it and then he pulls it out, hard and it's like aaaaah perfect! What a voice! What a track!
He has perfect pitch! Especially for rock n roll. He is just naturally gifted... I doubt he ever really practiced or took lessons.
That never happened. Are you even listening. Put the spliff down jr
@@annathebanannafoster8678 This is from a time when people actually could sing and play a real instrument. Now it's all talentless, digitized, computerized, "autotuned" garbage.
he doesn't have to jop the draw and let out a booming voice, he does it subtly and mysteriously

This song is the height of aggression articulated. Favourite Tool song. Fucking amazing 20+ years later.
I feel the same
I don't agree with it, it's not aggressive. He talks about some fucked ideaology that needs to be more ethical.
“Height of aggression” - You’ve obviously never listened to slayer.
I'm seeing them tomorrow !!!!!!!
I've always called it Heavy Metal you can sway to
14 year old angsty, angry, dramatic me made this whole album my personal anthem and life soundtrack for the entire year. I'm 38 now, and I still love Tool. Good shit
Me too! Lol😂
I even had the shirt.
@thisfamilydoeseverything same! My awesome older brother introduced me to Tool (and then A Perfect Circle eventually) and I totally fell in love.
as a 14 year old angsty, angry, dramatic kid I can assure you that you aren't alone
They're not wrong.
"Some say a comet will fall from the sky, followed by meteor showers and tidal waves, followed by fault lines that cannot sit still, followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits."
That's some poetry right there.
Als, can't help it, I love the word "dipshit". It's a good word. not often I hear it worked into song lyrics.
A perfect useage of one of my favorites.
So relevant, even more now

George Carlin would like that too. Like cornhole...cornhole is a strong word...
Best part of the song
One of the best songs ever created from probably the best band of our time.
of all time*
🤘🏽
The best
Not probably. Definitely
Imo the best band of ALL TIME
This song was on the radio when my mother was dying of cancer. She was 68 years old.
I told her about the song and we listened to it together.
She told me that when she was young, people would share commentary through essays published. And people would read them and then write an essay of response.
She felt that this music was a progression of society to accomplish the same end. She thought it was interesting.
I love this, thanks for sharing it.
Moms was edging on the morphine, that’s awesome
She sounded like an intelligent person. Bless her.
Your mom sounded like a real one.
my mother died of cancer ten years ago.. i listened to this album, on the way to the hospital, on the train, after i was informed of her passing. i miss her.. it hurts.. so much..

As a kid I heared this song almost every day without even knowing what he says
Now im 30 and Im blown away by the prophecy..Crazy world
Same. It's depressing
Now go listen to Hooker With a Penis and read the lyrics.
Yeah, but a prophecy that's yet to be fufilled... Hell shit is worse now than it was in the 90s. Yet, here we are, and there is no Arizona bay.
THE PROPHECY IS TRUE
Some will coward away in blindness others will fight back through their purpose. For some music is the tool, for others it's farming, etc etc
Personally, I think Maynard is one of the greatest lyricists of modern times.
No doubt
Yes but he is an utter D*** in person from what I hear
@@joeytomato3839 hes had a rough life I dont think hes much of a people person a lot of anxiety

I mean he was asked if his wine is vegan friendly and in response he post a pic of him with a bottle of his wine and bacon in his mouth flicking the camera off...
I want Rosetta stoned to be the factually telling of an experience someone had.
This is not a song. It’s something there are no words for. The way it builds is perfect.
It's a perfect way to close such a beautiful album
Tool is true art, one of the last big truly artistic rock bands
Right? If I'm playing this CD while I'm driving I always stay in the car to finish the song.. always!!
Yeah I hear that
None of his music from any of his projects are technically songs.... They're stories and not the ones he will tell you in interviews. If you know you know if you don't go to his interviews and listen to the nonsense he spews about what his music is about.

I really miss the more nihilistic side of the band.
I understand that part of art is evolving past destructive mentalities but I don't think negativity ever actually goes away. It is either mitigated, swept under the rug, or embraced fully.
Mitigation being the obvious healthiest choice I wonder why the band never seemed to really return to this form?
It's all good though. I really enjoy the newer stuff but still think the older material packs a better punch.
Angry Tool is the best Tool. I still think Undertow was their most solid album.
7empest has an Aenima/Undertow sound and plenty of anger/attitude.
@@mmb6527 Yeah, there are a few newer songs that flirt with it but IMO they never really captured what they did in the past.
That's okay though. Things are in the past for a reason.
Adam's guitar work on 7empest is the best part.
Omg I try to tell youngsters the long story of how things work and it's all positive and negative. In relationships if everything is going right then one person is going to get bored. You always want what you can't have and don't want what you got. People may disagree with this but take into consideration time is also a factor. Eventually the conversation gets to what if there were a third party to slap both y'all around for taking life for granted. This could very well be the reason for the Bible and all that. Science and the human race and god can all be put into the same category and it's all makes a lot more sense after realizing it.
@@ronniehall9256 I have never heard anyone put it that way to be honest. I've heard variations of that but you put it in just the right way for it to fall into place in my mind for me to feel the spark of wisdom.
Thanks for the comment!
This song will always be relevant.
Until there's no one left to relate to it.
Until California is gone
When you look at the horror show that is modern reality this song makes more sense than it ever has.
I could use a vacation from this stupid shyt
The artists are ahead of the rest of us
The most interesting part is he always knew the truth, we didn't. We heard it at time like "yes Hollywood is fake". This is pre Epstein, pre Weinstein, pre Elon musk playing toy soldier with humans... for the prole.
It's this interesting full circle moment because of the Internet and it getting worse that now the prole knows what demons they are, and can listen to this like "oh he probably wrote this after being heinously disgusted watching some swanky party degen shit we can scarcely imagine cept now we can also cuz they are shameless getting proles involved, playing war, burning down Maui, making mobs of criminals, being the government, makin empire child labor with adult child unsupervised interactions... Lord the music was the disgust rage hope karma is real fury of decent person who knew what they really are
Get tired of these kind of comments acting like this shit hasn't been going on for a long time. Maybe it is worse now, but it just reminds me of how so many of you pukes only started paying attention in the 2010s.
I'm 97 years old and this song got me through the trenches of ww1 when was only 13 years old but faked being 18 years old.
Thank you for your service
I was a sperm and this got me to the egg first.
Wasn't hard in those days, just put a couple C's to close up the 3 and BAM 13 becomes 18
Unironicly this song does go well with BF1
Great that song helped you through those tough times .
One the greatest songs ever made.
All 4x members here are perfect, no standouts.

Tool is one of those rare bands whose songs can consume me completely. I don't just rock out, I become the song.

People need this song in times like this

The fact you are talking about need... goes against the song. It is something that is inherent... but yes we need the song.. because we are scum

Taking Tool's lyrics as life advice has been a game changer, especially in the love department. So far I've slept with L.Ron Hubbard as well as his clones, slept with junkies as well as gangster wannabes. It just keeps getting better everyday.
yooo nice comment john williams, I really like your star wars soundtracks

I listened to it while dropping the atomic bombs on Japan.
Love this 😹

I remember being a kid in the 90s and my mother and cousins blasting TOOL and thinking it was some kind of evil band, so funny how you perceive things as a child.

Best part of the song.
I'm a 50 year old paraplegic tool fan this song nearly makes me a stand up and walk !
Or might as well learn to swim
awesome so nicely friggn said my good man really awesome take on this song
Well i sure hope you don't live in california because it would be awfully difficult to swim without the use of legs, but hey, if you make it i'll meet you down in arizona bay.

Maynard’s breathing at the beginning always sends chills up my spine
He's not just breathing, he's saying "hey, hey, hey"
Like you're whispering to get someone's attention!
@@ThrottleKitty I know he’s saying “hey” but his delivery makes it sound like breathing.
@@BungleGrindClown That is definitely true!
That's gay
@@ryrtyu9290 the 90s called, they want their lame insult that makes the insulter look worse than the insultee back.
This isn't a song, its a prediction. Its that simple.
So f##king true
One we all can hope comes true soon
Days of Sorrow. Straight out of the Bible.
The MEEK will inherit the Earth...

I don’t think I’ve heard a more perfect song written in my life. There’s so many layers to this song and the structure is amazing. It’s a proper song in every sense. Nothing specific stands out, every member of the band has their own contribution to the song and stands out in it’s own way rather than a guitar solo dominating the song for example. If that makes sense
Absolutely
it is sort of angry and beutiful. an opera of rage and frustration.
I love Lateralus. Its like a song thats attuned to my soul
its right fookin proper to say the least
i hate 90% of solos
Another reminder of why the 1990s were so freakin’ cool.
Dude!!! U ain’t lyin 😩
Because the 90's was the last decade.
U BET !!!! ✌️😁
You got that right!
Another reason to never fck with a Gen Xer.
In Tool we trust
FR
A song perfect for the era it was written and the current as well.
Maynard is a Prophet too!
Perfect!
In my family, we refer to this song as “the happy song”.
Your family is cool.
Same 😂
Love it. If you want to hear another cheery song

My son has always called it "Learn to Swim".
That's what I told my friends to put on when I wanted to listen to this song put the (learn to swim song on )
I swear this song makes all my grudges that were almost gone come back 100 percent full affect.
I wanna press the buttons to the nukes. Fuck this place
No effects... affected means affection with an ion at the end. We won't be effected again. Time to equate using the tool that holds US together. The fine line between love and war. Is gwar. A band of architecture and Earth, wind, fire. Water gets us through all that and BP keeps our customs in order. Mary always has to fix this when change comes. Bringing down the very cause of war is a void worth filling. They always seem to start thinking that they can rule better and that why they have no place to go. They are sealed for reasons and tool knows how to do this with no deals and no bombs. We don't want our house to look like damage and lifeless places. This is the final frontier. Nowhere to run they destroyed and we worked hard to build this place. So when the border crisis hits. It does weigh on all of us to stop this or this place will be no more also. Not your problem but it soon could be. I don't want to start over because of this thing that sucks life right out. They will devour all life forms. And the seal was only good tell 2012. But they chew their way through the barrier or atmosphere and tunnel through ground until all life is like the desert or worse gone.
You definitely need to listen to The Grudge next then

This band got me through some tough times in 2019, mad respect
This song so far ahead of its time dating back to 1996. Compared to what LA is now
Michael LoRusso this is my favorite tool song. I totally agree
LA's been a shithole since 1950 at least.
LA hasn't changed, but instead now everyone knows what it's like so he looks ahead of his time. This is actually most large cities... It's just that nobody is looking. Come to Las Vegas for it as well!
oh man, if only we could have known about 2020....
I remember getting the album from my older brother. He comes home after a night with his friends and hands me the album and says “Listen to this now. It just came out. It’s yours”. I was 14. Ænema(album and song) shaped a part of my life. I still get the same feeling listening to it now as the first time I heard it. I did a song review of this song for my grade 10 English class. My teacher said it was an interesting song to choose but he liked it and the review.
I also used a tool song in a school project once 😉😆
You've got one helluva brother.
This song is older than Google
And better lol
And more relevant
wow its actually quite crazy to think about ut

Well Google has been around since August 1996 so it's technically older than this song
August 2024. This hits right now. Good luck everyone. 👍❤

Song is still fire in 2019
I think it will forever be relevant and amazing song.
Just saw Tool live in SLC last night, they did this right after Fear Innocum, still awesome. What a great show.
Is that a pun because California is having a huge forest fire problem haha?
no, song is Water xD
@Andrew Reed ?=
Melbourne, Australia Feb 2020: When they played this live and the intro breathing was heard... the audience lost their shit.
It SCREAMS to our generation the lost analog gap children who saw through the plastic and the shimmering tech. last of the gen X not quite a millennial and definitely not a boomer
@@jediknight1294 I dunno about such a generalisation bud. Ever heard of druids? lol. Plenty of old folks who have felt this way their whole lives.
Maybe not in LA... but err... that kinda is LA's whole thing. lol.
Played this as the opener in STL in 2019. Couldn't have been more awesome! \m/ Glad to know folks in Oz have an awesome taste in music, too.
That was such an amazing night
@@Quasiguambo not the same. The world changed. Few generations are there at transition time accross epochs.
This is probably the only song in the world that I feel genuinely speaks to how I see the world
Ditto
Same
They had a message to deliver to the world. Fell on deaf ears. Never felt more alive than I do right now. What about you?
5:03 wow never gets old for me love hearing that with tears in my eyes what a awesome drop off love tool
Brilliant use of a Gong. There is a similar moment around 10:45 in Descending off Fear Inoculum. I commented in another post that it's like Iv'e been flying a fighter jet at Mach 3, then suddenly the Jet disappears, yet I am still flying. A moment of total Euphoria. Check it out and let me know if you agree.
@@christopherwelsh7008 ya can agree with that and ya it does have some same vibe in it but ya i can def see the same thing
I’ve loved tool since the beginning. Back then though I was in my early twenties and really only liked them because I thought they just freaking sounded killer. But now that I’m much older and tad bit wiser I’m listening to the lyrics and all I can say is I really wish I had payed more attention to them back then. Holy shit they are awesome and even more so now than before. Genius.
I'm so lucky that my lifespan has included the years of Tool's existence.
I can't get over the gap between what we heard then, and what we knew now after they became so much worse and spread like cancer
I have been listening to this song for over 50 years and it has helped me get over my double cancer and the tragic death of my entirely family. Long live tool!
It's not even 30 years old yet .

We prayed and we prayed and finally it's here 🙏
1:34 A friend pointed out the timing of the hi-hats at that mark and I've never heard this song the same ever since. 🥰

I hear you! I thought I loved Tool before, but now...
Haha, It's a kick-ass song, isn't it?
