Thank you. I've never done any "chatting" or anything like this opinion forum before.
I'm just glad it wasn't "retarded old fucking loser". Although, I may use it that way in the future.
I just hope that from now on, you will all have extreme difficulty not hearing what I wrote when you listen to Vicarious.

I think it's "Eye on the tv" as in I keep my eyes on the tv because I really like tragedy and it thrills me, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: ^-- I am pretty sure now that it isnt "Eye on" I am pretty sure I hear 'own' but again I could be wrong.
also there is a 'then' before "kissed him goodbye"
then I think it's "Neither brave nor bold, write as the story's told."
then there is a 'so' after survive... "Devour to survive so it is, so it's always been"
EDIT TWO: thanks to Vondruke, after listening to a live Coachella version I am very confident that all the lyrics after credulous are right now.
I think the only real part of these lyrics that could still be argued about would be the first line... Eye on the TV/I own the TV
so this would be it all together:
Eye on the TV/I own the TV, 'Cuz tragedy thrills me,
Whatever flavor, it happens to be, like
Killed by the husband, drowned by the ocean,
shot by his own son, she used the poison
In his tea then kissed him goodbye
That's my kinda story
It's no fun 'till someone dies
Don't look at me like I am a monster
Frown out your one face but with the other
Stare like a junkie into the tv
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die hands to the sky crying, why? oh why?
Cuz I need to watch things die, from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too don't lie
Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither brave nor bold, write as the story's told
we won't give pause until the blood is flowing
I need to watch things die, from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so, why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain come down, drum on grave and ground
Part vampire part warrior carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal, sing to the death rattle
la la la la la la la lie
la la la la la la la lie
la la la la la la la lie
la la la la la la la lie
Credulous at best your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive so it is, so it's always been
We all feed on tragedy, it's like blood to a vampire
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

"Eye on what I'm after" -- First 6 syllables of 13th step
"Eye on the T.V. 'cause" -- First 6 syllables of 10K Days?
I think he says "I own the T.V." It just doesn't seem right to me if Maynard started out his last 2 major CDs with the same 2 words.

Ok, first, the first line of 13th step is: "Clever got me this far"
2: why would it be a problem?:) 6 syllables is not like really repeating yourself.
3: anyway, i even heard it live, and i still cant decide which one is it. May it be some kind of ambiguity? Maynard is capable of such things... so probably it is both:)

I really have no idea, but I am going to tell you what I hear just in case one word might be correct and someone else can get something from it.
"Gradual is, at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men. Pull your hair on out your head, pay reason, give a listen, shouldn't have to say it all again"...

Well, enough with lyrics, its time to see what our minds have concluded about this song.
Vicarious, means to me, society or the world in general should wake up to what's happening to this eden. or awake to everything. It could even be about the fans diving deep in muddy waters trying to figure the out the band, when they could be living their own life. Tool is just here to help, but we're on our own.

might make sense
but those aren't the lyrics.
stick with what you want, though, it's no big deal.

Nice one! That's a damn site better than the "happy/hippy haze" stuff on this thread. (Though I think "Credulous" at the start makes much more sense).
I've been listening to this as "Pull your head on out ..., your head, be reason..., give a listen" though it obviously doesn't make much sense.
I'm hearing a final "d" sound for your "hair" though, so maybe:
"Pull your heaD on out, you're HERE [pay reason / be reason(able)*], give a listen"
i.e. He's sayin' you're *HERE* NOW listening to my music, so pay attention!
* I know the "-able" isn't there, so "pay reason" would make more sense than "be reason", but the vowel sounds more like an "e" than an "a" ...

I believe he is saying STARE like a junky into the tv STILL like a zombie
I know it is nitpicky, but I noticed that still wasn't even one of the words open to interpretation.

1. The lyrics are 'stare like a zombie'.
2. Post this in the 'what's he saying?' thread.
2. Tool's lyrics are way over analyzed.

Ok, I think these are great ideas. I listened again and it pretty much makes sense but, I made a few more changes. Here is what I have at the moment:
"Gradualist, at best
You're designed to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out .... You'll hear
Pay reason, give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again"

Yeah, nice. "You're here/You'll hear " both fit well I think. Could be either. Good work. Not so sure about 1st 3 lines though. What are your reasons for preferring this over "Credulous at best, your desire to believe in..."? Is it what you can hear or do you feel it makes more sense (or both)? Can you please explain what your take on these lyrics would mean.
A "credulous" person is one who believes things without taking proper account of the available evidence, so I think MJK is saying that to believe in the fundamental goodness or purity of humanity is (at best) to ignore the facts that are staring us in the face.

Just looking for alternatives to the "hippy haze" suggestion. If it is this, then it is very strangely sung. Something like...
"Pull your head on out ... Your hi- ... -Py hazeand ... Give a listen"
There is emphasis where I have placed capital letters (the emphasis for "hippy" is usually on the first syllable not the second). This is why I think it is more likely to be something like...
"Pull your head on out ... You're here ... Pay reason ... Give a listen"
Or some variation on this form. I know "hippy haze" is possible. I just think it is worthwhile to keep looking for something better.
