Vicarious is the 10,000 days theme. It pretty much states somethign, thich a lot of peopel overlook, and then proves it to you. The Pot is actually calling all of you hypocrits. Let me explain:
Vicarious explains how someone owns a T.V. because they like to watch tragedy. They are obsessed with watching things die from a distance. Then he goes on saying that you should not look at him like a monster. He sais that with one face you say that you hate tragedy, and war, and any kind of suffering. But in reality, you are staring at the T.V. like a zombie while things die and suffer. He sais that you need to watch things die as well, so just admit it.
After this song, a bunch of tragic songs are played. One of them being wings for marie/10,000 days, lost keys/rosetta stoned, and intension, which leads to right in two. These songs are all very tragic, especially rosetta stoned. All this time the band has been playing tragic music, and you have been enjoying it all along. (note that the music itself sounds tragic, not just the lyrics) This proves to you that you need to watch things die from a distance as well. And in the middle of the album, Tool throws in The Pot to see if you realize how much of a hypocrite you are for not admitting you like tragedy.
