i'm telling you all it's " JAMBI..IIIIIIII'S " as in plural...he holds the "i"....
You can clearly here the "s" at the end and you can tell all he does is take the "I" in Jami and extends it and adds different pitches to it so that it flows with the music.....

no...there are three sylibals in the sentence.
Unless he says it like Jam-bi-iiiiiiiii which is stupid then it can't work.

Im thinking that perhaps we should give this a rest... no ones going to change everyones mind untill official lyrics come out, seems kind of a waste of time.
Meh, i spose u can continue arguing it if u really want too, but im out.
(ps, theres a "j" on the second line... :P)

stop writing "i think he says...." and "maybe it's...."
the phonetics are as follows: "D amn/im my eyes. J ambized/am my eyes. D im/amn my eyes if they should compromise....."
i'm not writing what I THINK it could be, i'm writing what is CLEARLY coming through my speakers. the speakers in my house, in my car, in my headphones, etc. it IS in the music. you may have a different copy of the cd, but in mine, and many others, these phonetics that i mentioned above are undoubtedly there.
please stop trying to deny it with a closed mind. whether or not you understand the lyrics is inconsequential. just because you have held steadfast in your belief of "damn, dim, dim" or "dim, dim, dim" doesn't mean you are right. sometimes people's closed minds end up closing their ears as well.
and no, i am not saying that you are a closed minded person for not agreeing with what he sings, or even not hearing what is clearly there. i'm just saying that someone who disagrees should come over and listen to the cd i have, and then try to tell me "JAMBI EYES" or "JAMBI-IZED" isn't there, right to my face.
just because you don't understand it, doesn't make it inconceivable.

So, are you telling me that you definitively know every word to every song on the album because the phoenetics are there? Come on! Are you saying that when the lyrics for Undertow finally came out you didn't experience any surprise? There are numerous lyrics spread throughout Tool's lexicon that (phoenetically interpreted) are suprising. Once Maynard tells us what he is actually saying, of course, it becomes much easier to hear the slight nuances that construct the whole. But your assertion that the phoentics are enough to draw definitive conclusion is flawed in the context of this band (and most bands of any value, for that matter).
Look, I'm not saying that it can't be "Jam-bye." I just think that if we are going to discuss lyrics at a time when there is no definitve canon available, then people need to construct their arguments in a way that explains or justifies their leaps. Aside from phoenetics (which really are muddied by effects processing and aggressive instrumentation), nobody can offer a rationale that is (as the root of "rationale" would seemingly require) rational.

Can't believe you fools are still arguing about this. It is definately "Damn my eyes, Jambi eyes, Dim my eyes if they should compromise the fulcrum, want and need divide me then I might as well be gone" How does that just not make perfect sense.
Now for the sake of argument, if you look up the correct pronunciation of Jambi however, it is pronounced like "jahm-bee"...which is why for a long time I disagreed with "jambi" being said but if you turn all bass off and turn up the treble you can clearly hear "jam-bye" pronounced.

i think that the context and enuciation in which the "jam" is refered to is "jamb", as in the frame of a door, -> eyes: "windows to the soul", door: through which one enters or exits -> soul perhaphs (connexion?) ??? possibly maybe. peace :-)

It's a bit of a stretch because it's yoda-speak (noun+possesive pronoun+noun=sentence?), but I suppose it's possible. The definition of jamb specifically references window frames, so you need not leap from doors to windows . . . I still can't quite see what it means, though . . .

Meh, i can wait till the lyrics are posted by the MAN, cuz he is the man. But maybe, if it is Jam-bi-iiiiii in the lyrics, and if its about his son... could be an inside joke between the two, something only a tool lead singer and his son would understand and laugh about 5, 10 years down the road.
but whatever

OK, here's what I did:
Took the audio file and slowed the tempo down about 75%.... cut out the Bass and some of the mids to isolate the vocals more. Based on that, the first and third lines sound like "Damn" then "Dim" to me, but it is inconclusive. However, I am 100% sure that the middle line has a 'J' sound and 'B' sound in it.
Now granted, who knows if that's Maynard improvising or whatever, but the sounds are definitely there.

You're such a Tool. It's "Viginti Tres's." Clear as day.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...damn+your+eyes!
anybody ever take into account that maynard has an accent? or that he mumbles sometimes? damn your eyes is an old ass saying. i first heard it in the young frankenstein movie. no matter what maynard's mumblings sound like, i definitely believe he is saying "damn" my eyes. it makes the most sense in the context of the rest of the line, to me.
hell, maybe i'm wrong and it's "Jim, my eyes!"
as in, "Hey Jim! Where did you put my eyes? I can't see shit!"

I don't agree, Dim my eyes makes just as much sense...
I've listened to this so many different ways, the studio version and 5 different live versions and all i hear is Dim my eyes, Dim my eyes, Dim my eyes...
I predict when the lyrics come out, all of us that believe it's Dim my eyes x3, will be vindicated. Everyone else will be saying...damn...I really thought it was Damn my eyes or jambi eyes or whatever.

If I'm taking this hint correctly, it's quite possible that the official lyrics will be posted soon. Of course, anyone that waited for the Undertow lyrics may be prepared to wait another few years.
Considering "10,000 Days" is still missing from all the site areas (besides the news) it could really be anything, but here's hoping that we can get a little help with these debates.

Explain to the class please exactly what 'Jambi eyes' means.
Show me where previously, Tool have just made up words IN THE LYRICS, not in the titles.
The only way "Jambi eyes" would make sense to the world at large is if it means "Eyes that see only Jambi" or "Eyes that were changed forever by Jambi".
Now considering that, how does that line make sense with the lines exactly before and after it which you concede are either "dim my eyes" or "damn my eyes".
"Kill me if these eyes that were changed forever by Jambi should compromise what I have with Jambi."
Because if Jambi is the subject of the song, whom he would give everything up for then that line makes NO FUCKING SENSE!

ok what about in rosetta stoned? "abananabananabananabananabanana, so that when i opened up my bug eyes."
