Oooayeayah...
Oooayeayah...
Heeyahenayah, tool
Heeyahenayah, new,
yahah new, yeaah

Oooayeayah...
Oooayeayah...
Heeyahenayah, tool
Heeyahenayah, cool

Anyway, it kind of works with the whole self-deprecating, mocking view of the track, with tool making fun of themselves and the whole mystical/metaphysical side of their music, as well as their fanbase and also the eagerness or occasional zealotry that this album has been expected with. It's what I heard the first time I listened to this segue, and what I've heard ever since, and I've found it holds together after much repeated listening. I thought it was funny as hell, anyway. Feel free to disect it, though.

hehe yeah, i especially love that "Respect teh cock" part.

i don't agree with these lyrics in all seriousness but fuck me, thats the most awesome lyrical interpretation of a tool song i've ever read in my life.

i hope the gods shine on you and guide you to places you'd never dream of.
really really... REALLY good places.

Holy fucking shit, guys, thanks for the responses, what I heard just made me laugh, so I thought I'd share. On a sidenote, I just Wikipedia'd my name and the only thing I got was some shit about a Gene Rodenberry TV show....What. The. Fuck. I'd just like to clarify 'cause I just discovered this, my name's got nothing to do with TV, it's my name. Sorry, I just feel dirty now....The Vedrans of Andromeda??? Jesus Fuck. Anyway, thanks again.

On an actually (somewhat) related note, have you guys noticed the part in Third Eye right before the "shrouding all the ground around me" monologue (around 7:51) where it sounds like a quiet voice going "Mmm-ShkabaShkaba"? It's really quiet but funny and completely out of place/random. Eh?

bravo vedrane:)

well, the only interpretation i can offer is that Lipan conjuring is a parody of whatever sort... At first i felt like it was a parody of all the "world" and "experimental" thing in music, with all the pseudo-meditation and "spirituality" that supposedly comes along with this music (and irritates me big deal:)), but then again, this segue could be a self-parody as well, a nice way to break the tension and let some humour in before going into complex stuff like Rosetta...

Lipan conjuring? Lipan is supposed to be some sort of ghost, god, spirit, wtf, so i guess it fortifies the point that this song is a parody of some spiritual ritual or whatever... It DOES NOT sound serious or meditative whatsoever, does it? Maybe it doesnt sound sacriligeous either, but i definitely sense the shades of humour...

"Lapin" is French for "rabbit," but the "Lipan" in the title refers to the Lipan Apaches.

It sounds a lot like the word "Adonai" is in there, which is I believe Hebrew for "Lord".

that was an extremely long interpretation of a song that's just 1:11 long. Have any of us ever thought that it might just be a chant repeated over and over again with no real signifigance? maybe it's just a hook, and tool put that in there because they know that all of you will go crazy over it.

Sorry i'm saying all this, i'm pretty new to this "forum" thing.
