Lyrics:
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lover's souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication
I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication
(Cold, cold, cold) cold silence has
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers
Between supposed lovers
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit

Tool is one of those bands that defies description. You cannot explain to someone how hard they rock. How heavy but harmonic, how melodic and dissonant, how much listening to their music will redefine what Heavy Metal means to you.

[@fonesrphunny7242]

@@yourweirdplant From personal experience in my local club, with proper dancefloor and all, the bass line is great, but kinda locks you into a certain groove most of the time. Once it goes polyrhythmic, after the last verse, the rhythm change alone creates this palpable shift in mood. A polyphonic ballet, followed by "cold silence..." in unison, into the 'brutal' finale. It feels like magic. I think we can agree it's one of the best transitions/endings in rock music history, so it's kinda understandable why people gravitate towards it.

I heard this song for the first time at 13 years old right when Lateralus came out. I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing (driving to my grandma's birthday party), what radio station I heard it on (Rock 108 Iowa), everything. Even on a shitty car stereo it was mind blowing. The song wasn't over when we got to where we were going so I just stayed in the car and spiraled out while the rest of my family went inside. The next day I went out and bought Lateralus and I don't think a week has gone by without listening to something from the TOOL catalogue. A little over a year after hearing Schism I saw them live (my first legit concert) in Moline and damn near died of amazement. I've now seen them live 4 times and every show is somehow better than the one before. Each of their albums are unique, amazing pieces of art in their own way, but I still consider Lateralus to be their best album front to back. Best album of all time, really.

[@quantumastrologer5599]

Taken from the wiki entry on 'individuation': In Jungian or analytical psychology, individuation is the process where the individual self develops out of an undifferentiated unconscious - seen as a developmental psychic process during which innate elements of personality, the components of the immature psyche, and the experiences of the person's life become, if the process is more or less successful, integrated over time into a well-functioning whole. yw edit: there could be a second layer to the interpretation of a more spiritual kind which sees humanity as an organism which is - much as the individuum described above - fractured into subjects yet able through commucation to overcome this split and reunite as one or some such thing.

Even in the turmoil and heartache I am currently feeling. Tool's music truly does evolve with a person.

I just noticed how Tool uses the guitar/bass combo and the meter in this song to actually demonstrate the coming together of two different things to create something greater than the sum of its parts. A measure of 5 and a measure of 7 can combine to create a more stable-feeling "meta-measure" (if that's even a thing) of 12. The vocals play with this idea between 1:08-1:14 and 2:48-2:53. In the verses, the guitar and bass play the same single-note line at different intervals, cooperating to create harmony. So in addition to this just being one of the best songs ever written, every element within it is thematic. This is absolutely brilliant.

Ill never forget about a year after this song came out, i had a housemate who played this song on his aucustic guitar and sang well while drunk and balling tears. He told me his visa expired and he had to be forced to rejoin the Belarus military where they would beat him. I havnt thought of this story in so long but this song means so much and so many differnt ways to me. Perfect song

One of Tools greatest songs. I saw them live in concert a few weeks ago and they closed the show with this gem. It was so spectacular. Not my first time seeing the band live, that was 23 years ago, but still just as exhilarating as the first time I heard it live 🤘❤

I get whatcha mean - however, this general rule for "popular" music never has applied to Tool for me. For some people, it absolutely does apply, but they're those who would listen to an entire Nickelback CD and enjoy it. I dunno how, but that's the type of people who would like one or two songs on a Tool album. Just my $0.05

For anybody who doesn't know, the font that they were using were kinda like English alphabet written in arabic style, they were usually written with a special pen and sort of make the letter nicely connect to each other. How the letter "o" in tool were written, is exactly the same as the number 5 or the letter "ha" in arabic. And the word "lus" seems kinda exactly how you would expect for arabic word to be written

As I was in my local guitar store, a new guitar player was trying out some guitars and he started this riff, and the bassist was not even 10ft away and he joined in, then one of the workers went to the drums and joined the group. They ended up playing the entire song. Kid walked away happy buying his Les Paul and the bassist had a MASSIVE grin on his face as he walked out after buying the amp he was testing out. Schism doesn't get played ENOUGH in guitar stores.

I'm studying the basics of neuromarketing, and apparently we should not measure intelligence from the number of neurons we have, but from the number of connections we have between them. They are the ones transporting information between all the neurons in our brain. It works this way from atoms, to neurons, to human interaction, this is all a big ass journey and we are part of it, constantly connecting with each other. Be grateful. Spiral out brothers!
