#TOOL #Vicarious #10000Days
Lyrics:
Eye on the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be like
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used a poison
In his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun until someone dies
Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
"Why, oh why?"
'Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I live
While the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Were writers of the stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head out of your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is
So it's always been
We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

This song is even more meaningful than ever. With social media, Internet, and other media, we have a glutton of "vicarious" living.

I like to interpret it as how we all somewhat have a morbid interest in death and horrible tragedies, yet we rather view them safely from the comfort of our home, living vicariously through a camera, "experiencing" these events as if we were there.

Just got out of the Tool concert about an hour ago!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to! The vocals, the visuals, the everything was on point.

[@mooolinator]

I started listening to them in 2002, sophomore year of high school. I saw them live for the first time in 2019 on the initial Fear Inoculum tour. Despite all of the obsession and subsequent burnout in between it was such an incredible experience to finally see them perform. It threw them back into my most heavily replayed music and gave me new perspective and appreciation for songs I already knew so well.

We're fascinated by death that we watch it from the distance without us being in harms way. Death (the large monster depicted) goes around taking another soul we tune in curious by the fatality of anothers life in comfort knowing we're here experiencing life. Later on in the video its our turn to come back from where it all began to be as one with the univerese. The soul nearing the end of video tempted by the orb of light to take on the human experience once again. in short this is life, death, and reincarnation.

TOOL is a band like none other. Their music isn’t just music, their albums are story’s and each song is a chapter. There was never a band like TOOL before them and there will never be another band like them ever again. They are timeless. They always will be. My favorite band of all time and in my opinion the greatest single band of all time. Legends, each and every member.

I am with you on that, for sure. Now in my 40s, I am just blown away that I was 13 when I first heard this band, and it spoke to me then. Still the same now, and they were shrouded in such mystery back in the 1990s. I have been in a funk since covid, and forgot how this music got me through some of my worst times. It is indeed timeless.

*Lyrics* Eye on the TV 'Cause tragedy thrills me. Whatever flavour It happens to be like: "Killed by the husband", "Drowned by the ocean", "Shot by his own son", "She used a poison in his tea", "And kissed him goodbye". That's my kind of story. It's no fun 'til someone dies. Don't look at me like I am a monster. Frown out your one face But with the other. Stare like a junkie Into the TV. Stare like a zombie While the mother Holds her child, Watches him die Hands to the sky, Crying, "Why, oh, why?" 'Cause I need to watch things die from a distance. Vicariously I live while the whole world dies. You all need it too. Don't lie. Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing. Neither the brave nor bold Will write us the story, so, We won't give pause until the blood is flowing. I need to watch things die from a good safe distance. Vicariously I live while the whole world dies. You all feel the same. So, why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down. Drum on grave and ground. Part vampire, part warrior. Carnivore and voyeur. Stare at the transmittal. Sing to the death rattle. La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie. [4x] Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men. Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen. Shouldn't have to say it all again. The universe is hostile, so impersonal. Devour to survive. So it is. So it's always been. We all feed on tragedy. It's like blood to a vampire. Vicariously I live while the whole world dies. Much better you than I.
