I believe that the songs Parabol/Parabola are about finding Spirituality with the chemical/molecule DMT. I’ve studied both DMT and I’ve researched on Tool and a lot of things seem to fit together. Well first off I’ll explain DMT in a nutshell for you and if it really interest you then I’ll have some links and other information on it at the end of this. DMT or (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is the most powerful Psychedelic know to man and yet it is the lest harmful because every living thing has DMT in it or has the ability to produce it. Are bodies produce DMT when we are born and when we die that’s why many people who have near death experiences see the bright tunnel of light and hear heavenly voices and sometimes see beings. DMT has also be connected to UFO abductions sometimes your body may produce DMT in your sleep and cause you to believe you are being transported to an alien place and seeing alien beings. DMT also cause you to think you’re not in your body it totally takes you to another place another world so to speak. DMT can also be extracted and smoked or injected but more commonly smoked it takes only seconds when smoked to hit you and less then a minute to peek and as you come up to the peek it’s like your blasting off through a tunnel of colors. Ok that enough about that now I’ll get to may theory on the connection to DMT and Tool. (If you would like to know more on DMT you can go the web site www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt.shtml or check out Rick Strasman’s book DMT: The Spirit Molecule) Ok I’m going to break down the songs Parabol & Parabola witch are really one song and point out the connections.
(So familiar and overwhelmingly warm This one, this form I hold now.)<this line is referring to the normal state of being as in looking through are eyes at the world in are bodies and he’s saying that its familiar cause it’s what you’re used to living and seeing everything through are bodies.
(Embracing you, this reality here, this one, this form I hold now, so wide eyed and hopeful. Wide eyed and hopefully wild.)<again just referring to how we feel comfortable in are bodies and saying that we are wide eyed and hopeful just meaning we are hoping and waiting for something more.
(We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now.)<I think this part means befor we are born.
(Hold on, stay inside...)<fighting off the fact that he’s about to leave this world and body.
(This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal All this pain is an illusion.)<saying that he feels alone without his body and that pain is only felt through the body.
Parabola is pretty much on the same level as Parabol.
Well that’s what I think about it and I hope this makes since to you all if you’d like to know more or just to talk E-mail me at [email protected].
