| no..i actually think this beautiful. At the end of Vicarious, parabola+parabol videos..we see the being change 'spiritually' and become connected in some kind of endless chain..or linking. weve been told all those quotations before..it just depends on if the listener is 'listening'.. | |

| Tool – Third Eye Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
one thing that attracted me to tool was their amazing mesh of insight, intelligence, and tolerance for escentricity.. tool incorporates hinduism and principles of such isms into their music..it amazes me that people listen to this band and have no idea of the things that course through the very music. the 'eye' motif is very..how do i say. the eye has symbolism. yes it does. most would infer things about the all seeing eye, or what ever. but the third eye in this song is..okay the sanskrit work for what maynard is talking about it the Ajna Chakra. its the 3rd eye..and is like a filter. i read the lyrics for this song and a realization SLAPPED me in the face. it was amazing. and i put my head down and just shook it. tool is amazing. im rambling..an apology. before i go into what i believe the song is saying..ill mention what it is YELLING out to me. "Dreaming of that face again It's bright and blue and shimmering Grinning wide And comforting me with its three warm and wild eyes On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye".. to me it sounds like he sees himself..his spiritual self staring back at him, the vibe i get seems like the spirit is childlike,.. innocent. comforting. so here we have a person looking into his own 3 eyes with his very own two. "And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye" here it seems as though hes realizing and as though he is seeing himself for the first time in a long time..(the beginning, before he was contaminated with any influencial religion or dogma of any sort.) His 3rd eye has been shut.. the 3rd eye representing his astral self..the one that gains insight cosmically, and univerally..had it been opened and nurtured with meditative practive..yoga. hes 'seeing' again..his withered eye..the american public has withered eyes..they are so withered.. "watching television is like taking black spray paint to the 3rd eye"- Bill Hicks. "A child's rhyme stuck in my head It said that life is but a dream I've spent so many years in question to find I've known this all along "So good to see you I've missed you so much So glad it's over I've missed you so much Came out to watch you play Why are you running?"" and this is the beautiful part..its like.. his Self has always been a part of him, yes? yes. Hes always felt it singing to him, that voice calling him back home. the song in general has a light vibe right now in the song.. as his Self sings to him. So glad it over..ive missed you so much.. and it like the physical self is realizing a few things and is listening to the Self. The Self wants the physical and the spiritual to be united, but of course thats not mainstream in America.. "Why are you running away?" The Self can see the physical becoming disstracted again. Whether it be with religion, tv, work,..sex. "Shrouding all the ground around me Is this holy crow above me Black as holes within a memory And blue as our new second sun I stick my hand into his shadow To pull the pieces from the sand Which I attempt to reassemble To see just who I might have been I do not recognize the vessel, But the eyes seem so familiar Like phosphorescent desert buttons Singing one familiar song..." its quite clear that the physical seems as if it is recognizing the Self and the music getts louder..and if you have the Salival version the emotion you get is intesified with the whishpering..amazing. and the Self begins Yelling. and Maynard keeps screaming PRYING OPEN MY 3RD EYE! and then the physical sees. the Self says, and in my head..i see the Physical looking at himself in a totally "different light, at a different angle..becoming volnurable", the self says.. "So good to see you once again I thought that you were hiding from me And you thought that I had run away Chasing a trail of smoke and reason" at this point the physical is speaking to the Spiritual Self..clearly after PRYING OPEN HIS 3RD EYE.. clearly there is a misunderstanding..because the Self mentioned how he thought that the physical was 'hiding'.. the physical is understanding how the Self would think that he had run away chasing a trail of spoke and mirrors..Maynard is calling Religion (dogma) a joke..a prank.Smoke and mirrors... the Physical and the Spirirutal Selves become one when they understand one another and basically help one another flush away the impurities that come with daily living. when i thought of the song this way..i applied the same meaning to Parabola..when Maynard says..'We' barely remember who or what came before this precious moment..you know? well what if that "we" he keeps referencing isnt me and you and him and her, but me and me..you and you..him and him..the Physical speaking to the Spiritual.. of course this could be a misunderstanding..being that tool can be so vague. the 3rd eye is an amazing and very hard idea to try to explain in a simple post and reply..i hope i have supplied some kind of insight..for any of you.. |

okay. I think that it requires a vast knowledge on pretty much everything to decipher properly a tool song. i wanted to mention in the beginning about when this is mentioned: "All righty then... picture this if you will... 10 to 2 am, X, yogi DMT, and a box of krispy kreme's in my "need to know" pose just outside of area 51" when i read the first few lines i chuckled to myself because hes talking about yoga. Hes in his 'need to know' pose. In yoga there are many different kinds of poses, all of which have proper sanskrit names, mostly ending in asana. also i remember reading on one tool sight about one of the member engaging in high tensor yoga with DMT. it just kinda linked in my mind. An altered state of consciousness to get to that alternate state of consciousness, if you will. it was really funny to me. Yoga near Area-51.. in his need to know pose. Kinda seems like hes joking around with the seriousness of the whole 'why are we here'.. i know that ive gotten back heavily into yoga again becase of tool.. they speak about much more than is just 'mentioned' the meanings are reflected and refracted..and it takes a much broader mind to see what tool hints at. A broader mind i think i try to achieve everyday. thank you. |
