i use this phrase a lot and laughed when i realized it was in a tool song.

shit the bed means malfunctioned/broke [down]

it's used in the past tense

e.g.
my car shit the bed.
this vcr shit the bed
my mind shit the bed...

sunkist/sunkissed

hmm perhaps it's the "sunburn" people seem to get after being abducted.

One more tiny point - in the section:
"Overwhelmed as one would be
If placed in my position."

I don't believe there is an "if". It should be
"Overwhelmed as one would be
Placed in my position."

I think someone included this change in their version above, just wanted to flag it for inclusion here.

I'm not so sure about that. Back in my younger days we always drank OJ if we were tripping on acid because "supposedly" the vitamin C helped feed the trip or however you would phase it.

there is an element of drug use to the song though. in the beginning with his "need to know" potions and later on the alien fed him orange slices which is something people use to bring someone down off a trip. And of course the most obvious, the name of the song.

In the end, seems as if they commit him to a mental institution, or at least confine him at the hospital... I assume for the crazy story he just told them...

"Strapped down, to my bed..."

Actually, on that topic, when I first heard this song, before reading any lyrics on here, I thought that the first occurence of this line in the song was actually

"Stripped down, in my bed..." like he's at home after it happened. Then later he ends up talking to the doctor, tells his story, and is committed... thus the "Strapped down..."

Just a thought....

at hospitals, they give u sunkist as part of the meals, because of the vitamin c. in that part of the song he is talking about how nothing the hospital can do will make him better/allow him to remember what the aliens told him. sunkist, sudafed, gyroscopes, infra red....

what-da-ba about my bug eyes
my gaping jaw
am i sweaty?
<wtf nonsense>
and all i can think about was
how i hope <my partner/uncle partner or something> doesn't notice that i miss my fucking cats

so light his way
like an apparition
do you have me cryin out
fuck me
gotta be
a dead head
chemistry
why those covers on top of me
got me hating
can't even fucking see

and after calming me down with some orange slices and some needle spooning,
ET revealed to me the singular purpose
he said "you are the chosen one, the one who'll deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not."
Me? The chosen one?
They chose me and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school

You had better x3 [sounds like it starts with an 's', but its just the effect]
You had better listen

when you looked right through me
will somniferous <something like almond eyes>
don't let [not "even"] me know what that means
must rememeber to write it down
this is so real
like the time Dave floated away

can't breathe right now
it was so real
like i woke up in wonderland

i don't wanna be all alone

well this shit never happens to me

can't breathe right now

you believe me, don't you?
please believe what i just said
see the dead angel and
and this wasn't all in my head

see they took the leather hand
and invited me right in
and they showed me something
i don't even know where to begin

strapped down in my bed
feet cold, eyes red
i'm out of my head
am i alive, am i dead?
can't remember what they said
god damn, shit the bed...

I, high [or something... this is that chanting part]

overwhelmed as one would be
placed in my position
such a heavy burden now to be the one

Guys, I'm 95% sure I got the second line correct (about krispy kreams) and the third line is extremely close at the very least (area 51 part) the rest I just can't figure out. Check it out:

lrighty then
picture this if you will

began at 2am
and I have the fuel to eat and empty out a box of krispy kreams
and might need a note posted just outside area 51

contmplating the whole deal with people making me just enflamed enough
a stealth banana split the sky wide open and I didn't expect to see a place like this
that was when a ... dot ... like on my birdy stock

See my heart is racing,
‘Cuz this shit never happens to me.
i think this pair of lines is expressing frustration because the narrator KNOWs that he is tripping and is pissed off because he's tripped before and never had such horrible side-effects.

it could also be that his mind has been blown because he's a 'common guy' and adventurous stuff like visits from ET don't happen to people like him.

there could also be the line that he is BOTH tripping and visited by aliens. Wouldn't that be a fabulous way for ET to meet the Human race? via a stoner.

So far as the title 'Rosetta Stoned', we all know that the Rosetta Stone is the translation device used to translate knowledge between the major civilizations of antiquity. So, this stoner HIMSELF has become a Rosetta Stone because the aliens chose to contact him and make him the Chosen One. But, because he's stoned, the message was lost on him and Humanity's only hope is lost.

Finally, I think that this track ties in perfectly with Faaip de Oiad because in Faaip, the narrator talks about how the ET's (extradimensional beings) are working on a plan to destroy humanity. He also states that the ET's are operating out of Area 51. So, this song ties in to that in that this narrator was exploring Area 51 (like the TOOL family does, or used to, on a fairly regular basis). Then, while exploring the area, he is visited by ET's.

Lol...dude, Vitamin C makes you come down from tripping, it doesn't feed it. It's what you're recommended to take if you feel your trip is too intense or scary or whatever.

this is gonna be the song that gets interpreted 1000 different ways

when i hear it

lost keys sounds like an awakening in a hospital. maybe not a physical awakening, but more like slowly regaining consciousness and sensory abilities.

you (the listener) have somehow made your way to a hospital where nobody knows what ails you and you have no way to contact family. the doctors try to be friendly and eventually you're able to decipher that he wants to help but first he needs to know what happened to you.

then you frantically start to relive your trip. you remember visiting "area 51" where youre abducted by extra-terrestrials who explain to you how humanity will end and give you "a message of hope for those who choose to hear it". theyre making you a prophet and you didnt even graduate from highschool.

however, in typical burnout fashion amidst your drug trip you forgot a pen so all of this is in your head. you had a chance to be a savior and you blew it...

goddamn, shit the bed.

oh, and its "fetal spooning" for definitely

Patient: Alrighty, then... picture this if you will.

Began at 2 AM, and after eating an entire box of Krispy Kremes, and my need-to-know ???, I was just outside Area 51 contemplating the multitudes of people, thinking, when a flaming, stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open. I never expected to see it in a place like this. I do believe I spilled a diamond sundae or something right on my Birkenstocks.

Holy fucking shit! (x4)

Then the X-Files beings in some kind of blurry jet ship ??? that started to reek ??? when I heard about my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, and my steady lower and upper lip, and all I could think was, “I hope you don’t get your ??? on my fuckin’ pants!”

So alive in this way
Like an apparition
He had me crying out
Fuck me
It’s gotta be
Dead head
Chemistry
The bottom got on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message, a message of hope to those who choose to hear it and a warning to those who do not." Me. The Chosen One. They chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin' high school.

You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don’t even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time they floated away
See, my heart is pounding
’Cause this shit never happens to me

I can’t breathe right now!

It was so real
Like I woke up in wonderland
It was so terrifying
I don’t wanna be all alone
When I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why
All of a sudden the peanuts dance?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it’s my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
’Cause this shit never happens to me

I can’t breathe right now!

You believe me, don’t you?
Please, believe what I just said!
See them telling children
And this wasn’t all in my head
See, they took me by the hand
And they invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don’t even know where to begin

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold, eyes red
I’m out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can’t remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

High

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Forced to bear and read you all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again...
Typical

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I’m out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won’t help, braindead
Can’t remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can’t remember what they said to me
Can’t remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can’t remember what it said
(God help me!)
Can’t remember what it said

Don’t know, won’t know (x12)

God damn, shit the bed!


That what I have so far.

What exactly is the wrong with Tool using "shit the bed" in a song? Have you heard ANY Tool pre-Lateralus?

can we please stick to figuring out the lyrics.
We've got a large part of the song figured out. I'd say the parts that are the most unclear are the first 2 verses in the song. We've had many different interpertations of those 2 verses. people should focus on those 2 and try to figure out exactly what is said. there are some other lines that aren't very clear and sound like they are probably wrong (peanut to paris) but the the first 2 verses are the most vexing and giving us many different lyrics

I'm fairly sure about "I hope [?] doesn't notice i'm pissing my fucking pants"

I'm rather fond of peanut to paris since its what i first heard, but the more of the lyrics i figure out the more they make sense and peanut to paris doesn't seem to really fit. Although considering how it is sung its a pretty dreamy part of the song, he says he feels like he's in wonderland and his heart is racing so maybe peanut to paris is what he used to describe the situation. my favorite line in the song is "can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero" I just love the way maynard sings it.

On topic: "isabella rosellini lips and breath that reaked?"

Feel free to debate and correct. This is what I hear after listening to everyone

All righty then. Picture this if you will.
Began at 2 am. I'm actually eating a, you know, box of crispy cremes.
??? area 51.
Contemplating the hoax and whether people think that we've just been (inflamed).
then a stealth banana split the sky like wide open
Something you never really expect to see in a place like this.
Anyway, thought one was gonna die but something right on my birkenstock (revealed to me?)
Holy fucking shit
Fuck you
Then the x files being
with some kind of ???
with Issabela Rosselini lips and breath that reeked, they did a really good job
out of my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, am I sweaty? ___ upper lip
All I could think was I hope a plunger (doesn't really get shoved up my fucking ass?)
So light (his?) the way like an apparition and you have me crying out
Fuck me, it's gotta be, dead head, chemistry, the bottom (comes down?), on top of me, got me seeing E -motherfucking - T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal/ego? spooning
ET revealed to me a singular purpose, he said you are the chosen one.
The one who will deliver the message, a message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not. Me? The chosen one? They chose me and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.

You had better listen.

Then you looked right through me, with somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means must remember to write it down.
This is so real like the time that you floated way, see my heart is pounding
Cause this shit never happens to me.

Can't breathe, right now, it was so real like I woke up in wonderland
Awesome and terrifying and I (I don't?) want to be all alone when I tell this story.
And can anyone tell my why I was (saw?) on a peanut to (paris??? dance)
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real, finally my lucky day, see my heart is racing, cause this shit never happens to me.

Can't breathe right now.
You believe me don't you? Please believe what I just said. See the dead angel (see they're telling true words?) and this wasn't all in my head. They took me by the hand, and invited me right in and they showed me something. I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes red. I'm out of my head, am I alive? Am I dead? Can't remember what they said, god damn shit the bed.

???

Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one.
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen (pan?), shit the bed again, typical.

Strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes read. I'm out of my head, am I alive, am I dead? Sunkist and sudafed, gyroscopes and infra red, won't help the brain dead, can't remember what they said. God damn, shit the bed. I can't remember what they said to me. I can't remember what they said to me, made out be a hero.

Can't remember what they said. I am ??? Can't remember what they said.

Oh no, help now.

Around here we use it as a way of expressing surprise or the realization of something.

Like: Guy #1, "Hey man, I just figured out _________"

Guy #2, "Well shit the bed, that was obvious"

shit the bed

1. verb. To die

2. verb. To become mechanically inoperable beyond the point of repair. See also, fucked, fubar.

entymology and usage: "shit the bed" comes from the unfortunate final humiliation when an animal's (yes, including human's) bowels completely relax at the point of death, causing the contents of the colon to be expelled. To use the term as a "euphamism" for biological death is considered to be in poor taste. It is more often colorfully used in definition.

Contemplating the hoax and whether people think that we've just been (inflamed).

Something you never really expect to see in a place like this.
Anyway, thought one was gonna die but something right on my birkenstock (revealed to me?)
Holy fucking shit
Fuck you
Then the x files being
with some kind of ???
with Issabela Rosselini lips and breath that reeked, they did a really good job
out of my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, am I sweaty? ___ upper lip
All I could think was I hope a plunger (doesn't really get shoved up my fucking ass?)
So light (his?) the way like an apparition and you have me crying out
Fuck me, it's gotta be, dead head, chemistry, the bottom (comes down?), on top of me, got me seeing E -motherfucking - T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal/ego? spooning
ET revealed to me a singular purpose, he said you are the chosen one.
The one who will deliver the message, a message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not. Me? The chosen one? They chose me and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school.

You had better listen.

Then you looked right through me, with somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means must remember to write it down.
This is so real like the time that you floated way, see my heart is pounding
Cause this shit never happens to me.

Can't breathe, right now, it was so real like I woke up in wonderland
Awesome and terrifying and I (I don't?) want to be all alone when I tell this story.
And can anyone tell my why I was (saw?) on a peanut to (paris??? dance)
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real, finally my lucky day, see my heart is racing, cause this shit never happens to me.

Can't breathe right now.
You believe me don't you? Please believe what I just said. See the dead angel (see they're telling true words?) and this wasn't all in my head. They took me by the hand, and invited me right in and they showed me something. I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes red. I'm out of my head, am I alive? Am I dead? Can't remember what they said, god damn shit the bed.

???

Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one.
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending.
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen (pan?), shit the bed again, typical.

Strapped down to my bed, feet cold and eyes read. I'm out of my head, am I alive, am I dead? Sunkist and sudafed, gyroscopes and infra red, won't help the brain dead, can't remember what they said. God damn, shit the bed. I can't remember what they said to me. I can't remember what they said to me, made out be a hero.

Can't remember what they said. I am ??? Can't remember what they said.

Oh no, help now.
God damn, shit the bed.

Definitely says "Fuck you" after he says "Holy fucking shit". This is the first post that I've seen this represented. This is what I've heard every time I've listened to the song.

"all I could I could think was I hope uncle parker doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin pants"

Here's what I get. I'm certain of the last line.

So, when I wake up
...and my bug eyes,
...my gaping jaw,
...[my steady lower and upper lip]
all i could think was
I hope that my partner doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin pants

Just a few possible corrections, both of which I'm pretty sure...

"10 to 2 AM"

"Fuck me, sodomy, dead head, chemistry"
