TOOL - Schism (Official Video)

[@evanramsay9785]

This song is about two hard headed egos who can’t grow together, until they communicate. Communication is the answer to the schism.

[@Brettkev]

No it’s a safety seminar on why acid is bad

[@Gunth0r]

It's also about the alchemical principle of the primordial androgyne, the communication between mind and matter, the recombination of opposites, the sexes. Res Bina, Rebis, Hermaphrodite. Jakin and Bohas /Jachin and Boaz/, Mercury and Sulphur. The Androgyne or Hermaphrodite, the pillars, the Res Bina, signify the prerequisite to the creation of the Great Work.

[@RoryDaRed]

No, It's about LEGO!. "I know the pieces fit cuse i watched them fall away", "I know the pieces fit because i watched them tumble down", Hello! How about, It's just a cool song that we all like?

[@kayyumamcaoglu8671]

The video has a very alchemical and/or esoteric background to it, there was this whole text written about it, I will link to it if I find it again, but basically the woman is mind and the man is the body, they must be one in order to "square the circle". To square the circle is an idiom which originated from alchemy, it basically means to perfect something. The whole video focuses on what both mind and body do before they become one in the very end. Edit: This is one of the best explanations btw if you are interested diginterpretations.wordpress.com/2012/07/28/schism-by-tool/

[@Dr.E-nigma]

Now let's get deep. Tool’s Schism isn’t your typical there’s nae cliché “boo-hoo, they left me” pish. It’s raw, cerebral, and forces ye to confront the bigger picture. The song dissects the collapse of communication, the chasm that opens between two people when understanding crumbles. It’s no just about love - it’s about human connection itself. Schism reminds us that a breakup isn’t always a single, dramatic moment; it’s the slow erosion of something sacred. The lyrics, “I know the pieces fit,” hit like a gut punch. They’re nae lament - they’re a desperate acknowledgement of what’s been lost and a yearning for what might never be rebuilt. This is how breakups should be written about. Not as some self-pitying drivel but as the visceral tearing of two intertwined lives. It’s the art of a breakup, peeling back the emotional layers, makin' you feel the pain but also seein’ the beauty in the breakdown. A Tool-style breakup song makes ye think, makes ye bleed a bit inside. It’s nae just for wallowing - it’s for confronting the mess, the complexity, the fuckin’ humanity of it all Now that's fuckin deep

It's actually a heartfelt piece about how a relationship erodes over time and communication breaks down, and the urge to tear it all apart and throw it away at times, when all your soul really wants is to make things whole and well again, and to reestablish the understanding you once shared.

[@puppeiluv826]

I first heard this song and the line “I know the pieces fit because I watched them fall away” when I was in a really tough time of my life and very young, so I had always thought that the meaning of this song was about a broken soul in a broken person. Now reading the lyrics and comments here, I see it’s about a broken relationship. Still, this idea of one’s internal brokenness really resonated with me then and now, so the song I guess will always mean that to me. “I know the pieces fit” yelled angrily over and over at the end was like a rallying cry for me to come back to oneness within and to heal, making me believe that with enough willpower I might be able to reform. And for me, eventually, I did.

[@RebeccahSavage]

I always thought similarly. I ,of course can see the relationship torn view intended, but I still feel as if it was our own person becoming changed and removed from the perfected self that we had been. I always felt that if our own pieces would fall away, then the us we were meant to be would be lost and the inner being would be significantly lessened and desperate to become truly whole again. Dang! Music can be so many things that I'm sure even the writing hadn't even seen as possible.

The poetry of this song is so eloquent and precise for describing the deterioration of relationships (of any kind really). It’s perfection. Every time I hear it I can relive any break up.

Why must thou laugh in the face of curiosity and anger? To cast by thy name shall set us unto thee atmosphere of inner senses. Thy must not speak of the truth, Aristotle taught, but thou must speak by thy's name rather than thy's thighs. Truth is only truth if truth is a truthfully truthful truth. Sad days begoneth, sadly thou shall not cast away what thy's mother has engulfed; as this act contributes to the melancholy of inner sense. In modern times, the only thing thou must be concerned with, is the.. erm.. width of thy's belly; as a hugeth belly could possibly awaken thou. Thou is an entity not known to thy but not known to thou or thigh either. The art of reason is not within reason, as reasonable reason would not be reasonably reasonable, but rather unreasonably unreasonable, and thou does not beg to differ from thy's thighs. One could only imagine a possibility of a rather unreasonable reason to reason with unreason; thou must start the next ice age! Speaking of ice age, thy must not speak of ice; as the only ice of reason is that of thy's thighs. Why art thou not a tool, but rather a weapon? Thy must consider a "weapon" a tool; as weapons are known to begoneth of untools, but thy must understand that the weapon must not disposeth of thy's thighs; but the weapon must only be used to begoneth of thou's pet uncle. Using thy's weapon with intentions of disposing of thy's thighs shall only be viewed as unreasonably unreasonable reason.

I'm 46 years old, I know a lot about music, I've listened to everything there is, all genres of music, I'm a big fan of Metallica, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Faith No More, and a lot of electronic music, from Jazz, Drum n Bass, Bands like Massive Attack, Stero MCs, Depeche Mode and I won't go on because I could do it until tomorrow. It's interesting that I knew about Tool all the time and it's one of the few bands I never heard or gave them a chance. I listen to Fear Inoculum since the first day when it came out, I haven't moved away from it.. Until 10 days ago when I decided to listen to the other albums while walking on the street or in the countryside.. What I want to say is that I was speechless by the quality of the rhythms, passionate and infectious riffs and of course the technique and production itself. I want to say that regardless of the lost time, I am so happy and excited that at the age of 46 I have the privilege of listening to Tool as my dearest music that accompanies me day by day even in my dreams, I am totally obsessed with music ..Absolute perversion and art.. Now of course my mission is to transfer my experience to everyone who does not know the miracle called Tool.. Thank you life!

Classic Tool with the haunting minor key and Progressive Metal chops. Younger kids are all into Rap/Rock so I doubt if you would see them at a Tool concert.

"Cold silence has a tendancy to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers" Awesome, just f*cking awesome.

But the poetry that comes from the squaring off between... is worth it.

Shallow thoughts run shallow should never be exposed to shallow people that will not be positive for them and if you're that shallow keep it to yourself don't harm others you're not doing anyone any good shut up

My entire love life in one phrase... I always thought that's so sad.

Tool are giving us right now both the memory and the experience!

[@g.danielvelazquez7494]

Reading so many commenters completely confused, baffled and sadly ultimately dismissive of all the juicy aesthetic meaning of the video that I wanna throw my 2 cents in. To many the video is purely abstract, but I see it as quite relevant to the message. The whole concept of the song is about COMMUNICATION and how the pitfalls of it breaking down can tear apart relationships (Miscommunication=Schism). Starts out with the creature's feet sinking in the ground below them, and appearing somewhere else upside down like "wormhole quicksand"; as if, your foundation has disappeared and your center of gravity is completely off. Then one of the creatures is seen attempting to almost "write" using the other creatures head as their pen/pencil (as if they were imposing their views on the other). It gets so bad that we go into the EAR (the listening tool) and inside the blood of the creature we see small "cancer-like" creatures. They come out into the real world (inner fear manifesting outward) and torment their previous hosts with their BIG MOUTHS (speaking tool) biting, clinging, as if "if we can't figure out how to communicate properly, its gonna come back to bite us". Then it all ends with the nightmarish shot of the 2 creatures blended into 1, as if maybe that's what it looks like when communication really fails and people become co-dependent and cant get out of it; unlike when the pieces really FIT. ....just my surreal interpretation. Do with it what you will. I LOVE all of their videos, LOTS to chew, digest and communicate about.

Love it. So happy tool made it to 2019 so we could have these discussions outside the toolshed.

[@g.danielvelazquez7494]

Jane Lane Sure thing! I’ve always loved their videos and love how layered they are with subtext and meaning.

[@cam0techunks]

theyre just having fun man. no explanation needed

[@g.danielvelazquez7494]

cam0techunks Well, yea, I have fun also when I’m creating any kind of art with a good budget. Art is fun. Why wouldn’t it also be fun to analyze art? It is for me.

[@cam0techunks]

@@g.danielvelazquez7494 you're probably right, but do you expect every audience understand the "art"? most of those who dnt understand will see the fun/ weird side of it. that's probably normal. if you understand the art side of it, good. but if your able to understand both side of the equation, then much better😉 and yeah. i didn't stumbled here for nothing, i too dig tool and bored with today's music scene😁. i see a lot of these fun side comments they're mostly from kids who didnt get to know the music scene of our time. just let them be

[@anthonybarbierojr.4306]

Still here in 2024. Tool is by far the best concert I have ever seen. I’ve seen hundreds of bands and they still have the best stage show

[@Jane_Doe81]

The way I feel when I listen to Tool is beyond understanding. It can’t be explained, there are no words. Same shivers, same goosebumps and it’s been like that for more than 20 years. Everything around me just stops existing when I listen to them. It’s just me, the whole of me, the real me.

[@woopchicken8371]

Now that's the way you articulate. Talk about communication...you conveyed that exquisitely. I normally give people hell on here for the stupid pretentious garbage they spew. Not you. Good shit. Bravo

[@octavedown8292]

Thats deep bro.

[@MetalDetroit]

Same..
