HMM?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm talking about the weird voice at 3:24.

creepy...that's what they are!

It reminds me of the mystics chanting on The Dark Crystal.

whatever it is it's been slowed down some

It almost sounds like, "listen".

Sounds to me like "The system".... and then a little bit later, really faint and slow... "is down".

Looks like someone's been watching Homestar Runner.

system of a down?!?!? WHERE?!

i think it was "assist usssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"

i dont want to change right in two quite yet... so that will have to wait.

I chucked it into a audio editing program and it is definitly "The System" not sure about the rest. Got to go eat some lunch. The album rocks!

I think this song was a crappy way to end the cd

Uhmm Faaip de Oiad Pt.2?? Faaip always reminds me of 9/11 and I like to think somehow Tool knew it was coming. So I guess this means something else is going to happen.. something bigger.


For a second I thought satan entered the room with the voice

This song makes me think of dying breaths.

yeah.....right...

whatever helps get you through the day, dude.

Dunno, but I think this track is a disappointing end to the album.

wow... i forgot lateralus came out the summer before 9/11. it just goes to show you how long it's been since we heard new material from this band.

it reminds me of someone smoking a pipe..

there really is nothing to this track... it's just pointless sound.

According to what, your interpretation? Did you ask Maynard if there's a meaning behind it and he said no? If not, then I think you need a big salty shut the fuck up sandwhich.

Personally, this track sounds like it has to do with aliens to me. Whether it is or not, all I have to say is close your eyes while listening to it, you'll never need drugs again.

heh, that made me laugh when i read it.

Aliens were the same thing I thought of throughout the entire track. Blair is always talking about being out in the desert near "hotzones". Wonder if they caught something on tape that they were not supposed to see/hear?

and you are making a pointless observation. shut up

After playing it backwards... it sounds nearly the same as it does forwards. (the words anyway)

I've played so many songs backwards.... the only thing I've EVER heard backwards out of Maynard's lips are "Yes yes!" when he says "Satan" in Gaping Lotus... but that's because of the nature of the word... plus, looking for Satanic messages in a song about "Satan!" is a bit redundant.

I've found much cooler stuff.

On the subject of Satan 2/3 equals 0.666 (ish) and is thought to be the origin of 666 being the number of the beast as 23 is thought to be an unlucky number like 13

It is COLOSSAL. It's like some fierce, gigantic almighty Being or Entity wrapped in a cyclone of black smoke towering over your petite lil' asses and INSTANTLY making you his bitch.

First impression: raped by sound.

a very abstract song. i like it mucho mucho.

the lyrics pretty much sound like German "Was ist da?" or "Was ist das?" (Was ist daaaaa...s?), means "What is there?" or "What is thaaaaaaaa...t?"

Yeah i'm pretty sure it's German.

*slowly claps, tear rolls down cheek* Beautiful words, my friend.....beautiful...

2/3 is closer to 0.667 than 0.666 :P

and how many of you bagged out Faip De Oiad when it first came out? i'd say shitloads

wtf!!! what the hell, lol. why are you getting so fucking pissed at him??? he just said he thought it was a bad way to end it...and yes, that is his interpretation, thats what he thinks. and maybe hes right. have you asked maynard? and whys it gotta be maynard? why not adam? or danny? justin maybe? stfu pls

this song is scary. and its a freaky way to end the album. i wont be listening to this one driving at night in Cornwall! TOO HEAVY!

Nice... thanks.

and i still do

Sounds like you're the one getting pissed kid: "wtf!!!". What makes you think I was pissed, you really think I was being serious with my big salty shut the fuck up sandwhich line? Sounds like you're the one who needs to calm down.

And if I was going to ask anyone about the meaning of viginti tres I would ask Maynard because this album is largely based around his personal experiences.

I don't know what the "lyrics" are saying. But in the dark, with my headphones on very loud, it's fucking scary when that intergalactic voice of evil comes on and starts to steal my soul. or something.

i want to hear it!!

HAHAHAHgAh i just said that to myself, right before reading "Looks like someone's been watching Homestar Runner." when i read that, i fucking lost it.

Hum...I'm trying to listen to this song at a very high speed...and believe me guys...it sounds even weirder...O_O Maybe I'll listen to it with high speed and backwards...I can't figure out what he's saying yet...

Yeah... That's what they did.

If you speed it up and play it backwards, it's someone saying "VIginit Tres", but there is alot of stuff ini there that are at sound like they're at different speeds. There is more hidden in the track.
