These are my predictions for when Tool officially releases the lyrics.

I've seen, been a part of and have waded throgh all of the pages of discussions and guesses of transcriptions that we've all posted for the songs of 10,000 days on this and other sites, and this is my declaration of what I think the lyrics are, and what I think they will be when Tool releases them officially. I would've put this thread in the "what's he saying section", but I don't have permission. Anyways, feel free to post your predictions.

And to keep this from being a huge thread that just buries your thoughts and argues about how everyone thinks everyone else is right or wrong, this is just for your predictions to compare eventually to what Tool eventually posts officially. If change your mind about what you predict, just edit your initial posting if you want to change what you predict the lyrics to be.

I think this is a good idea for people to put forth what they believe the lyrics to be and hopefully a place where you won't get bashed for doing it. Again, there are no right or wrong lyric guesses here, only what think are right to you.

Hopefully you all agree with me that this thread is a good idea and that this thread continues to see the light of day. And with all that said, here's my predictions.

Btw, I'm not going to comment on anything anyone says here regarding on if they think my lyrics guess are wrong. That's for the "what's he saying thread".

Vicarious

Stare at the transmittal, Synched to the death rattle
Lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, x4

Credulous at best your desire to believe in, angels in the hearts of men,
pull your head on out your happy haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

Jambi

You're my peace of mind my all my center I'm just trying to hold on, one more day,

Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes
Dim my eyes if they should compromise our fulcrum....
what you need divide me then I might as well be gone...

Divide HELL and wither it away
Divide HELL and wither it away

Slience legions, save your poison
Silence legions, stay out of my way

10,000 Days (Wngs Pt 2)

High is the Way, but our eyes are upon the ground

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
"Let him come home now!"

The Pot

steal or borrow, reaper, save your shady inference


Kangaroo be stoned he's as guilty! - as the government

Rosetta Stoned


I hope that uncle martin here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fucking pants

And after calming me down with some orange slices
And some fetal spooning


It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sort of terrifying
I don't want to be all alone
when I tell this story
and can anyone tell me why, y'all sound like Peanuts' parents
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

You believe me don't you
Please believe what I just said
see the dead ain't tourin',
and this wasn't all in my head
See they took me by the hand
And invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Right in Two

don't these talking monkeys know that eden has enough to go around?
plenty in this holy garden silly ol monkeys wonders when you're bound
to divide it

right in two...

monkey killing monkey killing monkey over the pieces of the ground
silly monkeys give them thumbs they forge a blade and brothers
wander bound to divide it...

Right in two

monkey killing monkey killing monkey over the pieces of the ground
silly monkeys give them thumbs they make a club (I hear this clearly on toronto live version)
and beat their brother down


repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven concious of his fleeting time here

cut and divide it all right in two...

why isnt this in the what hes saying thread? yuck i want my 30 seconds back.

because if you actually read it, you'd see that I wanted to post it there, but I don't have permissions. I'm hoping the admins will move it there.

no

Not a problem with you mate just the goddamn lyrics threads...uhhh their making me sick mainly cos this albums lyrics and theme makes me sick...I cant even listen to 10,000 days anymore.

I know, me too and since everyone is so passionate about what they think the lyrics are, that's why I thought it would be good to have a neutral place where you could post what you think they are and could then later compare it to the official ones when they're eventually released. But it looks like people are still going to disagree and make sure everyone knows it no matter what.

Cool avatar btw!
