Lyrics:
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, contemplating the whole chosen people thingy when just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my birkinstocks, and me yelping "holy fuckin' shit!"
Then the X file being, looking like some kinda blue green Jackie chan, with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla chig champa, did a slow mo matrix decent outta the butt end of the banana vessel, and hovered above my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was, "I hope uncle martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin pants!!"
So light in his way, like an apparition, he'd had me crying out...
"Fuck me!
It's gotta be
The dead head
Chemistry
The blotter got right on top o' me
Got me seeing E mutha fuckin T!"
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said. "you are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not." Me! The chosen one. They chose me!!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school!!
(You'd better listen)
Then he looked right through me with somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding cuz this shit never happens to me.
Can't breathe right now.
It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why y'all sound like peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing cuz this shit never happens to me
Can't breathe right now.
You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I've just said
See, the dead ain't touring and this wasn't all in my head
See they took me by the hand
And invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin
Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed
Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical
Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead.
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help. I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed
Can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me
Can't remember what they said
We don't know and we won't know
God damn shit the bed - เพลง
My favorite part is when Maynard says “Ahamababubmybugeyes”
My gaping j a w
Orange slices and F E T A L S P O O N I N G
"Did a slow-mo Matrix descent out of the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw" "uhhhhhhh you sure you said that correctly, Maynard?"
Cracked a laughter
You are the chosen one

Well in the end we all shit the bed on the way out don't we..

*Red Bull gives you wings*

Maynard : "Creates a song in Fibonacci sequence, existential themes, high spirituality"
Also Maynard: *i shidded*
I mean, we're talking about the same guy who wrote a song that was a German cookie recipe.
As one humanoid says to another: it would be a n honour to eat you.
Maynard, giving the people what they want
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAID. TO. ME
Meanwhile, cultured humans:
"Ah, yes... "Shit the bed" is commonly said to denote tones reminiscent of "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT"."
It must feel amazing being in your teens finding tool for the first time.
Yes it was oh so great now after
12! Saw their video was I was like 9 and loved it but didn’t get into them till 6th grade
Heck yeah.
🤣🤣🤣
Yup
16 year old me: tool is the most serious shit ever
33 year old me: tool is the funniest shit ever
Absofuckinlutly!
Still serious to me this world is gone
Check yourself again my friend. The jester is the most mad of us all but still a genius. Try writing something better than gold.
@@angelbast3rd133I agree. This song is pretty chaotic. The Jester represents chaos in the world and life, from what I remember reading when going down the rabbit hole online.
@@SarahTheMiddleEarthling the jester is the kings mouth. They can and will say what the king wants us to hear. Part of the control of the masses. Jester has a hat mimicking a crown and a scepter like the king.
This has to be - the funniest song written in the history of rock music. I mean, an 11 minute epic prog masterpiece, slathered with buttery lyrics of the unmistakeable idiocracy of humans and their egos. "I swear, I'm a prophet, it's going to be so hard for me to share my findings, oh, shit, i forgot to write it down" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 GENIUS
I once got soooo stoned that while floating in my thoughts, I had an epiphany. In one glorious moment I realized how time travle could be achieved. It was so easy too. It made sense. And just as quickly as the thought enterered my mind, I forgot how to do it. It was like I found a toy to play with and an adult found me playing with it and snatched it away. "You're not ready for that".
Only Tool could write a song about a DMT experience with "God damn shit the bed" as some of the actual lyrics and have me think it's a masterpiece.
DMT does way different stuff depending on the song aha
Actually, the songs about the discovery of acid by Albert Hoffman in 1938. The songs supposed to be Albert Hoffman perspective of tripping for the first time. Now, imagine that, being the first person to discover acid. Scary thought.
@@ianbielawski4937 uh, this song's about Bill Manspeaker, and the UFO nuts that he did a bunch of acid with out in the desert, and they all shit themselves.
Whats the meaning of that apart from its obvious meaning. I always amused it got to do with shitting yourself because you have ETs in bedroom
@@danielxxgadd O.o Do you proof read your comments before you post them? As far as- what's the meaning besides the obvious meaning? It means the guys in Tool thought it was a fuckin' hilarious story, and Maynard made a song about it.
This is possibly the most seriously unserious song ever written that somehow manages to be possibly one of the greatest metal masterpieces ever composed. How the fuck, tool?
With everything going on rn bro I’m wondering if whoever wrote this song actually had an extraterrestrial experience, and just so happen to be a song writer and best he could do is sing about his experience
But I’m high so don’t take me to serious lmaooo
There's a reason it took over a decade to come out with a new album, they blew their wad hard on this one.
basically it exists cuz they ain't give a ****
Because....aliens.
The part about the orange slices and the fetal spooning really hits hard.
I been there.
felt
To see this song live in 2023 was the best thing ever. I thought I missed out.
I watched them play this live 4 days ago and I've had "god damn shit the bed" in my head ever since. This song is great!!
Same
I'm gonna see them in concert with my dad in a few weeks! Can't wait!!❤
No MrZachthorn66...Tool is timeless ;)
Just seen them on 4 grams of mushrooms. Man, I felt this song on a different level then I had ever before.
8:15 - 9:15 is easily the best crescendo in tool’s discography. Which says a lot considering the majority of their music builds for 6+ minutes into a fireworks display level finale.
They do a pretty good one on No Quarter near the end
WRONG!
No doubt. Love that one minute of music.
"Sorry sir, this is a wendy's"
Thanks Benjamin now I want some damn Wendy’s haha
give me some horsey sauce
@@aintherion111 that's Arby's
"Damn it Kevin. OK, umm, could I just have a frosty and a baked potato please?"
Lol, made me laugh, brightened my day!
This song is better than most movies. Far more immersive.
check "fire in the sky". that song ever reminds me that movie.
The story of this song could honestly be a great movie/short film. same with "the end" by the doors.
Very well put👊
Roger Rabbit meets Travis Walton
@@portatguevara3306 I made a video overlaying this track to the abduction scene.
The section around 8:37 starting with “Overwhelmed as one would be”
In my book is one of the most amazing musical pieces ever!
So powerful!!!
It's literally overwhelming
So so good on so many levels!
🙌🏼
Best bridge I’ve ever listened to, and hope to play one day.
When this came out in 06, I was so deep into this song. I listened to this song alone 10,000 times
Best part of the song!
Tool - Rossetta Stoned LYRICS
Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
Holy fucking shit!
Then the X-Files being,
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of
vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fuckin' pants."
So light in his way,
Like an apparition, that
He had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
the Deadhead Chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"
And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.

Hey ...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again ...

Thanks for the lyrics
Consider the following:
This song wouldn't exist if Maynard remembered his pen.
Then how did he write it?
Than there would be another one instead
He wrote it about a story his friend told him.
@@TheBlackQueen a pencil
@@imkharn i read somewhere that the friend in question was the lead singer from green jelly
If you're here, you're a real one and you need to be protected at all costs
Protec
I am schizophrenic and I must say that TOOL is one of the bands that brought me the most peace to my constant state of paranoia
Look out your window. It's here.
@@jackblack486 Walked right by. Said hi.
That's because the veil is thinner for you, and tool stimulates that underlying spiritual knowledge we all have. You are more sensitive to the quantum fluctuations. I can show you the science that backs this actually. It's out there, it's just not accepted by the mainstream authorities yet. Everything Maynard sings about is real. This song is about a real experience, at least theoretically, that is then medicalized as evidenced by him being in the hospital.
That's a direct metaphor for schizophrenia
@@costaldevomitoLeast pretentious & retarded Tool fan
@@costaldevomitoMan, oh man. I hope you will realise at some point that this song is exactly about the kind of behaviour you just presented. The psychedelic feeling of enlightenment is the greatest lie ever. It takes a lot of self criticism to be able to see it, but you don't really discover anything while being high. Oh, fuck, shit my pants again.
Only tool could pull this song off. The lyrics, the length, the instruments, perfection in one of the most absurd contexts creates a truly unique classic
Doctor: Well...Sorry I asked...O~o
Right? I kinda feel bad for the doctor 😂
Well, that doc better be a Tool fan now :D
Just blame Hoffman.
No matter how down and depressed I get, I can always find gratitude in just being able to listen to Tool. A true blessing in life.
Cheers to that dude
I thought u'd say gratidude for being able to shit the bed.
Amen to that brother , tool is soul food
I concur
So true
"Overwhelmed as one would be,
Placed in my position
Such a heavy burden, now
To be the one
Born to bear and read to
All the details of
Our ending,
Then write it down for
All the world to see;
But I forgot my pen,
Shit my bed again"
this piece of lyrical content is one of my absolute favorite moments in this band's discography. it makes my eyes water every time. the feeling of understanding so much about everything around you but no one listening that these words express is something i relate too painfully close to. all because i forgot my pen, i just made one little mistake and that is enough for you to invalidate everything i said, because its easier for you anyway. but i suppose i dont blame you, it really is such a heavy burden.
if youve read all this, i appreciate it. stay up.
Idk man, sounds like someone high on acid would say that.
Stay cool
Speaking cant always transmit the knowing..
Jooe does
two joez for the price of one
This song has by far the best build up and climax of any song I’ve ever heard
Right. Besides "King of Loss" by Pain of Salvation, which is like prolonging orgasm.
@@vintarusproximus2854 Always love suggestions like this, going to check the Song right now
The complexity of this song is mind blowing.
What perspective do you feel most interested in?
@@rookonzo1436 the song is only written from one perspective
And LMAO try out 10k days my guy
@@David-zq8sk I’m asking if it’s the music structure or if it’s the lyrical meaning.
@@rookonzo1436 The musical structure of this song is incredibly intricate and advanced, so I would assume option A, David hasn't replied, and I'm interested as to what you would say if he did. If you've got answers on how to make stuff like this, I would be very interested in hearing them.
How did human beings create this?
They're not human
They’re modern day Mozart and Beethoven.
It was Joe
@@667halomaster Who is Joe?
@@sildaz I sparked a civil war in Sub saharan Africa, and then sold small arms to both sides of the conflict.
This is probably Tool's most immersive song.
Absolutely
The complexity of this song is absolutely phenomenal
This makes me feel high without drugs.
Same but I still use drugs to maximize the feeling 😅
Makes feel alive
Wait makes me feel alive
Because you're an airhead.
Try it on acid. It's truly incredible.
this song continues to climb the ranks as one of my all time favourite Tool songs
@Jesus is deep inside me with no lube same!
I have 20 best Tool songs, I can't properly tank them
Same here. I love this song and The Pot. But so many others,. I have every Album and cd they ever put out, I even got pirated early cds with paper labels made up at home. Garage Days Revisited. Was the #1.
Hi. Is still one of ur favs?
Tool has always loved trolling their fans. This is no exception. Truly one of the most epic sounding songs EVER with lyrics that are downright hysterical. LOVE THIS SONG SO DAMNED MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly don't think I will ever hear a song that gets much better than this
Àaaaàa.....good!
If you see this song live is the only way it gets better
The part at 8:38 absolutely destroys me every time! This band is incredible!
Arthur Garwood Delahooke “ I forget my pen”
I know bro me too
You are not alone my friend
This part defines ‘EPIC’!
did u shit the bed again
6:03 on is the greatest build up in music history, 8:39 is when we all cry together covered in chills, my god
Listening to Tool is in many ways like a psychedelic experience, it just transcends regular music.
I agree, I like Third Eye overall, but yes nothing more sublime or heavenly in music, 💯
Only those, Who were tripping on DMT can understand, and relate to an absolute and devastating tragedy of narrator, that is revealed in this 'climax'
@@idtgc1945 a stronger sounding version of what Pink Floyd is like. I've discovered Tool recently, and my goodness there are so many similarities, I love it! Build-ups in particular are great stuff.
litterally was just tjinking about how this song has an amazing build up
8:38
Is just so good it's unbelievable, it's almost entirely out of place musically with how melodic it is, and yet not only do they fit it in, they then seamlessly revert back to the previous more gritty style, despite the extreme contrast of these styles it fits together so cohesively.
Then there's the lyrics. It captures so very well that state of being really high where every irrelevant thought is like an epiphany. It once occurred to me on drugs that I could solve world hunger using the moon, in that moment I was so sure that I had solved it. I HAD to tell someone about this so I approached a friend to tell him (literally 30 seconds later), and I had forgotten entirely what I wanted to tell him so urgently so instead, winging it, I told him about my plan to get a full time job as a clock. Though I think the lyrics are inspired by a more hallucinogenic experience than mine.
Absolutely fucken genius !
My favorite Tool song ever. The wildest lyrics accompanied by the most complex and fun musicianship.
The guitar riff at 10:29 is still amazing no matter how many times I've heard it.
Next level shit!
Play it at half speed ;) trust me
More happens in the first 4-5 mins of this masterpiece than most bands entire collection
I'm a disabled veteran and was prescribed oxycontin for 9+ years by the VA... This song epitomizes the cleansing and withdrawal I went through... 5 years clean now... For God's sake don't ever fall into that trap... If you do, get help sooner than later...
An interesting parallel, I think. The lyrics were what was written down by MJK during his first trip on DMT, hence the talk about the pen.
I find it interesting, seeing the similarities between DMT, and the side effects and withdrawal symptoms of Opiates. Cool share. :)
@Jay S Opiate WD sure as fuck does not feel like DMT lol. I wish it did, the world would be a better place
"They don't call it 'kicking the habit' for mothing".

Never too late 🎉
thank you for your service. as an addict, i can say that acid and mushrooms can help lasting psychological damage from addictions. glad to hear you got past it.
listening to tool for the first time is like losing virginity with someone so good they raise the bar so high that when you do it with someone else it doesnt feel right
Best definition i heard Almaliha... Bravo🙂
Best way to describe it
YES
pls take more mans virgins
Rayos señorita!
Rosetta Stoned: The most epic way to make fun of yourself and your fans.
It’s funny that many people don’t realize this song is actually a satirical masterpiece poking fun at psychedelic heads and how overzealous they can be. A lot of people are the exact type that this song is making fun of and think that it is meant to connect with them and describe an actual experience.
@@drewpeterson9236 just join any TOOL group on Facebook and you'll see all the fans that Maynard always talks about haha
That been said, now imagine if Maynard didn’t want to make fun of his fans what’s going to be? Wait..it’s their last album!!
@@drewpeterson9236 I'm pretty sure it can be interpreted in just about anyway possible...perception is subjective
@@lifesentencesuxsodoesplayz7861 you're so right! I got catfished by somebody using an IG model's pics. Stupid me, instead of blocking her, I argued with her and she claimed it really is her. Back and forth, but on January 30, 2021 at 9:41 pst, she sent me a picture that was posted on IG 36 hours later. Reverse image search, all that, the picture is not on the web until 2 fucking days after I got it from a girl who claims to be her!
So now it's "fuck me, it's gotta be", "my heart is racing, because this shit never happens to me" and "my heart is pounding, because this shit never happens to me"!
If you listen closely around the 0:25 - 0:27 you’ll hear a little girl say “Hi” in between one of Maynards lines.
Heard her dude, thanks.
I thought I was the only one
Are you telling me after all these years there are still secrets on this song that I had no idea? HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Nice
Kinda creepy -- like something from a horror movie. I never noticed that before.
I mean I can't even explain how much I love this song.
I work in mental health, and on the job I've been reminded of this song more times than I'd like to recount. In my mind this is the theme song for grandiose delusions of revelation.
Did you write this comment just for me?
Of what you think is actual Revelation, or what your patients perceive as Revelation?
I'm sure they hear people say things more times than they'd like to not remember.... More
Yeah, but Marco, this shit never happens to me!
@UCna_QasgthT3jmmxK68gv6Q The perceptions of two different people, one I'm assuming is mentally healthy, and the other potentially mentally unwell.
Has anyone started to carry a pen ALL THE TIME because of this song?
I do, just in case something happens .....
What will you write on when something does happen?
@Orwell Jones Laeddis I was going to say that lol!!!!
@Orwell Jones Laeddis hahaha 🤭 TOOL got me through a veeeeeryyyy long boring recovery after being in a horse riding accident that left my neck broken my left side of my pelvis split and broken ribs!! My horse broke her eye socket leaving her 60% blind 🥺😰😓🤧🥴😪🤠
HOWEVER....I DIDN'T SHIT THE BED!!! BUT I FORGOT MY PEN... TYPICAL!!! 😁😁😁
@Orwell Jones Laeddis she passed away 2yrs ago aged 33yrs...."Golden Chase" she was gorgeous... We done Rodeo and showjumping... I miss it!!!
I'm seriously becoming addict to Tool
Happens bro
understandable. have a nice day!
welcome
Im jealous of everyone discovering this magic for the first time. Id do anything to relive that moment.
YEEESSSSSS,ME TOOO :(
1:21 that part gave me legit chills
The way he says "Typical" just hits different! God so goooooood!
Yeah shit makes me tear up ngl
TOOL IS FINALLY ON SPOTIFY!!!
YOU BELIEVE ME DON’T YOU?
PLEASE BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAID.
And this wasn't all in my head.
See they took me by the hand and invited me right in,
Then they showed me something.
I don't even know where to begin.
Yep, lol
I like it
😂 holy fucking shit
God damn.Shit the bed!
they arent on spotify..i mean i've tried looking multiple times and only fake ones show
This song has helped me over the years. orange slices and fetal spooning is just one of those things you gotta deal with
Seeing this song being played live is one of the most surreal things I have experienced. 12 minutes of flawless execution from 4 guys pushing 60 it's the kind of thing you think only happens in movies but they actually do it. What a monster of a song
Jackie Chan's and Isabella Rossalini's greatest accomplishment: Making it into the lyrics of a Tool song.
also applies to l ron hubbard for getting into two tool songs
Don't forget Caligula and Ponce de Leon. And all those insecure actresses.
Mike Cornell and L.A
Explain?
@@overcastandhaze Right!
One of the most underrated songs right here!
Peanuts Parents lmao
🛐
How the fuck is this underrated?
It’s not, pretty much every tool fan recognizes this song as one of their best
emilio perez i do recognize it as the best
Saw tool last night in St Paul. So glad they added this song back into their show.
The thing I love about the lyrics is that they leave open the possibility that it wasn't a bad trip. How darkly funny that aliens might come with a message of hope and a dire warning to the people of this planet and happen to pick this one particular guy as their herald, not knowing that nobody would believe him because he's a junkie and strap him down to a hospital bed while their doom approaches.
It's funny how many people shit on this album when it came out...13 years later - it's probably a masterpiece. Probably.
There was a point in time where it felt like I was the only human being on earth that loved this album, it seems like people have apparently came around recently.. i remember back in the day all my friends hated it and most of the people commenting on the internet shit on it aside from a very small few. This album just keeps giving, i never get sick of it, such badassery and range of emotions, always thought provoking as fuck. Been my favorite TOOL album since day one.
@@j.t.8848 There were people shitting on Lateralus would you believe. "Not as heavy as previous stuff. " or "Ticks and Leeches doesn't fit". "Lateralus, over produced". Haha. Honestly, I didn't like Fear Inoculum at first. I couldn't listen to the chrous - it just didn't resonate with me at all. I found it annoying to the point of just wanting to skip that "expel" part. After a solid 100 listens, now I love the song. Typical.
@@Masked_Official tool is always changing and ever-growing, meaning their sounds changes.
I love this album but it sounds like shit. Its so overblown and distorted. Lateralus was much cleaner and dynamic but a bit thin and bright. So far fear innoculum has the best mixing style.
For ambient electronica, same goes for the most recent Boards of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. Everyone including myself, could barely understand it and panned it when it came out. Now, it's heralded among their best. I actually don't feel that 10,000 Days nor potentially Fear Inoculum are among Tool's "best" but they're still killer albums that I can greatly enjoy. Lateralus will always be the #1 sweet spot for me.
The riff that Adam crunches on after Maynard mentions not even graduating from fucking high school is so....fucking....tough!
This may just be the best Tool song of all time. It incorporates everything Tool is known for into perfect 11 minutes and 13 seconds.
I'm so grateful to my dad for playing Tool in the car when I was little. That's probably how I have the knowledge that I do
i cant even describe the emotions that are evoked by the bass and drums at 7:04
the relationship between the drums n bass on this mystify me ... our drummer (we had a couple over time ) was either too clockwork or too distracted respectively to catch the minute timings ... also my bass never got turned up loud enough ...although i believe thats now a bass trope lol...not that we ever got to play anything close to this level of awesome
TLDR ... fuck yeah !!!
Wish they’d extend that like for 2 mins
That bass and drum combo at 7:03 makes this song my favorite tool song of all time
Fuck ya
Just saw them on Tuesday night. Justin is an absolute animal, and they have never sounded better
Fuck yes. But the way it builds up from 6.00 onwards and then Adam comes screaming in while Justin and Danny keep it flowing is fucking smooth!
@connorshark sorry sir but you are indeed wrong. There are many different types of solos.
@Connorshark Definitely considered a solo. Justin is thumping away and Danny is doing the drummers 'job' and keeping the whole thing in time.
I remember when I first listened to Rosetta Stoned I was in computers class in school working on a project . I was just getting into Tool and had already listened to a fair few songs like Schism, Lateralus and The Pot. I was just going to put on some basic hip hop songs as background music and then I saw Rosetta Stoned in my recommendations. I saw the name and that it was eleven minutes long and I thought, "Oh ya this is gonna be good" . When I heard Maynard say, "Alright then, picture this if you will" followed by Adam Jone's powerful heavy guitar and Maynard 's accompanying Lyrics I literally moved back in my chair about 3 feet. I didn't do it intentionally it's as if the music forcefully pushed me back. It caught me off guard I just wasn't expecting it. The whole song was a masterpiece from beginning to end and listening to it for the 1st time was one of the best musical experiences of my life I'll never forget it.
Safe to say I abandoned my project that day and when I got home I listened to Rosetta Stoned and a load of other Tool songs on repeat.
Of course
“I forgot my pen” Maynard can make any phrase sound epic.
ALRIGHTY THEN
PICTURE THIS IF YOU WILL
10 to 2am, x, yogi dmt, and a box of krispy kremes..
In my need to know pose..

The passage from 8:38 to 9:16 is for me the best moment in a tool song and surely one of the best in rock music in general.
This is the apogee, the final climax where the message is revealed but the narrator "forgets his pen". I'm feeling like the entire song is preparing the listener to this special moment since the beginning, especially the instrumental part just before with the groovy bass part and the destroyed guitar solo which create a very serious atmosphere, the suspens is at its peak. Tool's musicians create deeper and deeper atmospheres and moods that fit with the narrator's story, the tension finally peaks with the last instrumental part. By that point, the listener is totally focused on what Maynard is gonna say, the Rosetta Stone and the fate of humanity will finally be soon revealed.
What follows after that is one of the most mind-blowing thing I've ever heard, sadenly the narrator forgot his pen when the message was delivered by UFOs...
"Shit the bed again... typical."
Well said, Maynard.
Just excuse my English guys but I just wanted to point out the musical genusiness and the song writings skills of these guys.
The first time I listened to that, I just cried at that moment because it made (and still makes) me feel something I can't really explain, a special feeling related to the pure beauty and the greatness of our humanity filled with a feeling of pure hopeness for it and our future.
I love Tool so much since so many years, their discography is flawless and legendary, 10000 days is for me a rock masterpiece that will never be matched in its kind.
@Dragon Of Dojima Same for me except when that song is playing lol. Check out vicarious and right in two if you have no hope.
@Dragon Of Dojima totally agreed but I try not caring lol
What do you think its about
Acid trip.... blotters
Smoke dmt, drink ayahuasca, trip on shrooms or any hallucinogen for that matter and you will discover the new meaning of tool and their lyrics.... open your third eye
This song is hilarious, badass, and amazing all in one. Only Tool can pull that off
I seriously don't understand how this could not be one of their top 5 songs, for me its probably my third favorite. This song is a damn masterpiece!
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical..
Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive, am I dead
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and Infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn
Shit the bed!
My favourite part.
Ego talk
Yes. Typical
Jesus on avatar makes it even better :D
8:12 to 9:45 is probably the best ninety seconds in tool's discography
oh for sure dude i love these riffs so much
I swear this is my favorite album by Tool
10 000 Days Is A Underrated Album
8:38 is one of the best moments on the album and maybe Tool's entire catalogue
Amazing to hear something new in a song I've heard over a thousand times but with a new viewpoint...even sober
My first and probably my favourite tool song. I was 14 when I got shown this by one of my classmates and I remember being sorta uncertain about it but decided to download it anyway. The song sat on my phone for weeks before it ended up coming up on my shuffle playlist one time when I'd gone out for a walk. All I remember was sparking up a spliff as the lost keys/blame hoffman part was playing and sitting down not long after in order to better soak up the complexity of the song's progression. After getting back home, I spent the evening downloading every single tool song I could find. However, despite loving the band and their songs I have never been able to recapture the magic of just sitting down on a grassy bank and hearing rosetta stoned play for the first time, something which I would give anything to experience again.
My first time was my Indian metal buddy shared it to me one night and I can remember running round the house rocking out for a straight 6hours until the sun came up again all night long. So great 😁 would give anything to hear it like that again. Worth more than a lot of things I can say -been trying to get my local national radio station to play it at prime time if I can get in - to open many minds to its awesomeness one day
Have your first sub. Lol
Chase that dragon
For me, the song that blew my mind like that and got me into tool was invincible.
Good thing a stealth banana didn’t come down and split the sky
5:05 I like how the words trip over each other
Took 4gs of potent cubensis to this album and died during this song, since then it’s always been my fav by them.
SEEING THIS LIVE AT AFTERSHOCK ON FRIDAY WAS INSANE!!!!! TOOL should always play a standing venue so you can sway and move to the beat and the vibe of other ppl around you. ABSOLUTELY STELLAR SHOW!!!!
how close were you? I was probably 40 rows of people behind the very front
@@taRATulaz when they started the set, I was back by the video monitors and bar service area and slowly worked my way to the front for the final 3 songs. I got all the way to maybe 10 ppl from the front. I could see the guard rail
@@taRATulaz I was wearing a Where's Waldo costume
@codyw4654 that's awesome dude. my girlfriend pushed thru ppl while me and her bf followed and eventually found ourselves up close. I'm happy you got to experience that. the where's waldo fit is absolutely fufking genius btw lmao. glad u had a good time :)
were there very many phools recording with fones?
The sound of adam jones is hypnotizing. That tone wont leave my head, i hope it never leaves
Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
goosebump central. Probably the best build up in the entire Tool catalog.
Such a heavy burden now to be the one!
When your son gets home from work and answers with what he did today.
😂he's so damn dramatic.
*brain lights up with dopamine*
My fav part of the whole song. Powerful
here we go again on another loop of endless tool songs
These lyrics are incredible.
One of the most underrated Tool songs on the most underrated Tool album.
The sleeper on the album. This song is a masterwork.
Thank you for a rocking time at the Garden.
I love the story telling in this song!
...not just with the lyrics, the guitars and drums play out very well with the "screenplay" happening. VISUALIZE!
👽
This is the only band who has never been boring for me. They have something special
One of TOOL's best song on this album! They need to bring it back live!
Fuckin love the way the tribal drums twist my spine
It's a nice combination of rhythm and atmosphere.
At some point I just give up trying to pretend I can even play air guitar along with these rhythms.
I swear
You’re probably thinking of the bass. Cause of most the guitar isn’t that hard but you definitely need good timing
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I airdrum all Tool songs
@@tcb9775 you are not the only one...
In my opinion this is the hardest Tool song, at least for guitar.
For technically it's ez but dat time signature it's fcking confusing + too much Polyrhythmic at this song
This is easily tool’s hardest song on both drums and bass
@@austinthelizard8370 wow thats serious
It's almost impossible on drums too
The length of the song alone would be difficult to get through with half the difficulty
10:28 so simple yet gives me chills every time
I heard this song live and it was the best thing ever
"But I forgot my pen
Sh*t the bed again
Typical"
Absolutely love it.
And it's even funnier cuz that part of the song sounds like it's suppose to be serious hahah
@Connorshark yes lol I'm just saying that specific part of the song instrumentally sounds serious but it isn't lyrically
It means to shit his bed
@@livingtoaster1358 th-cam.com/video/dlJLNxe3Ga8/w-d-xo.html just FYI .... Anyway, anyone who's truly been in another dimension knows that it is most definitely lyrically serious... Including Maynard, hence why he sings it ... well... seriously!!!!!!
He is explaining his interdimensional experience in hyperspace!
Of all the Tool songs I'd love to see an official video for, it's this one.
A tragicomic portrait of a character who takes themselves too seriously and yet is a total joke, expressed in a joke song which is presented with all the grandeur and musicianship that prog metal is capable of. A portrayal of the dangers of trying to find truth in the psychedelic experience without the critical thinking and introspection that is always required to find any kind of truth. Truly a message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and warning for those who do not. A fuckin' masterpiece.
Absolutely phenomenal comment. Thank YOU for your critical thinking! A blessing to see the likes of these still floating around the spider web. ❤
It's just as one Canadian professor once said with a voice of a frog: "Be careful of asking for unearned knowledge, the trauma might leave you too scarred to think about asking for anything ever again."
Probably my favorite song of all time
Of all Tool's albums, I listen to 10,000 less frequently but still at least 10,000 times.
It's funny because this was my least favorite Album and I've only listened to my cd a couple of times since it came out in 2006. But since I'VE been watching Tool reaction..Wtf was I thinking lol. But Undertow is still my favorite
@@pennyrogers5251undertow is super good, very raw and powerful. Nothing beats ænima for me though…besides maybe Lateralus depending on what day it is
Once I play this song, there is no pausing or stopping. It’s way to good to not listen all the way through every time
Haven't listened to this, which is quite possibly my fav song ever made, in so many months. I'm home.
That build up from 6:04 to 7:05 and then to 9:10 perfection. Chefs kiss 👨🏻🍳
