I've seen this questions on some oher forums and thought I'd ask it for tool:

What people/things/places/colors, etc. do you picture while listening to certain tool songs??

For me,
I picture this ongoing spiraling staircase that opens up new worlds and things like that when I'm hearing "Lateralus".

When I hear "Bottom", I think of this man planning vengeance on the people who angered him.

When I hear "Opiate", I picture two evil men, on drugs probably, telling a girl they will rape her.

When I hear "Pushit", I kinda always picture people being injured in a mosh pit...

and so on.... so what do you picture?

I've said some of these before but i'll say them again...

Beginning of Reflection: Waterfalls and jungles
Triad: Roman empire and chariot races, all golden stuff
Flood: Lots of water...
Disgustipated "this is necessary"-part: Primitive african village
The Gaping Lotus Experience: Hippies
Jimmy: Night, shadows, distant lights
Parabola: The Parabola-video
Intermission: Circus
Die Eier Von Satan: Meeting of worshippers wearing hooded gowns in a dark room with few candles and torches. (I can't relate this to any Hitler stuff, like some of you do)

hehe

Thats just funny how Tool plays with some of their listeners.
Die Eier Von Satan is a receipe for Turkish hash cookies w/o egg. :P

But then again not everyone speaks or even understands german so the "evil" sound of a rally may seem to lead you to belive it has something ot do with the Fuerer. :P

Not again this fuehrer stuff...I didn't think about fuehrer/Hitler, I thought it was about satan as the title says. I think Hitler wasn't satan...but who knows.
And I know it's a recipe, that satan-worshipper meeting was just my first image and when I listened to the lyrics more I was like what? Eggs? I do speak a little bit of german.

Disposition - I picture myself on a beach during the resolution of an all night kegger with a full moon and a slight breeze.

The Patient - I picture somebody traveling across a tie dyed spider web debating whether or not it's worth it to finish crossing or if he should just end it all right then and there

H - I picture a storm ... only the clouds are formations of skin and the rain is tears

Pushit - (my favorite song) I picture the scene from Titus (only the greatest movie in the world) when his daughter is standing on the stump in the swamp with her hands and her tongue cut off and you see her uncle approaching her asking how such a thing could happen to so sweet a lady.

i have some more.....

disposition always reminds me of, well, watching the weather change, looking out the window and seeing the rain pour down.

reflection is of a epic journey that this man takes into the woods.... reflection is such a big, depressing as well as impressive song...

I picture a lot of similar images that everyone here is describing.I think that is amazing how so many ppl can have the same thoughts on something none of us have ever seen!! I also picture a storm when I hear H. A river,maybe something like th Nile-very dreary and gloom.

On Lateralus

The Grudge - I imagine two brothers, both heirs to the throne, but unsure as to who gets it, and it leads to a military struggle, but in the end they're both killed and resolved through anti-resolution.

Eon Blue Apocolypse - Post Nuclear Fallout.

The Patient - A meeting of men, high ranking, to discuss how to go about war.

Mantra - KITTY!

Schism - A husband and wife, or best friends, giving each other the cold shoulder until the end when they begin to talk again.

Parabol - A church-like sermon.

Parabola - A man tortured and weathered, beaten and tired but still continuing his life of pain. The 'Chain-saw guitar' at the end is sort of him ending his life, and the chymes of Parabol point that he has found peace, but it still continues.

Ticks and Leeches - Two people talking trash about each other, but finally resolving as friends.

Lateralis - Like others, I see a spiraled staircase leading to nothingness and peaceness.

It seems I don't really picture bizarre images anymore when listening to music... a lot of times for some reason, I picture in my head, different places I've been throughout my life... weird...

The Grudge - Spacey images. Metal. Leather. Grey.
Eon Blue Apocolypse - sounds like something out of a western movie
Pushit - flying over and down through a huge gap, chasm
Disposition - rain in slow motion
Reflection - jungle, tribal setting
Ions - an electric charge flying upwards to me
Lateralus - the sound gives me a roller coaster like sensation. starts off slow, rises, gets faster, up and down, up and down. Makes me feel like I am moving.
Message To...-i see a man using a payphone on a beach, eyeing the seagulls above him
