We really need to figure out that last part of the first verse...

I did radical donuts on a dime or something?

Cutting radical donuts???

Caught a reticule donut, or diamond something, right then the burning started fuming... holy fuckin shit

that last one was my new take... we may be way out in left field with the whole thing, but at least i put that last line into something that made a little sense... i got a picture of a ufo shooting a reticule from the spaceship somewhere on his body in the shape of a donut or diamond (something), which burned like a mother.. and had him screaming in pain...

We need more takes on this part. ... please no more diamond sundaes.

somehow i cant picture military at area 51 in the dead of night wearing birkenstocks and eating a diamond sundae... where on earth would he get a sundae at 2 in the morning... those are both out, unless someone has a good arguement.

This is a story about a guard on post at area 51, tell me why in the world would he be wearing Burkenstocks?

There is no way you can be 100 % sure of anything in this song

Tell me why the hell the person in Vicarious is watching TV! I won't start a discussion here, as I am 100 % this time without EVERY doubt 100 % sure that it is birkenstocks. Blair said something about that and Tool said in their newsletter about Dave (the time dave floated away, Rosetta Stoned is an anagram for A or ET tests on D and Tool said that it's Dave) with his birkenstocks.

I hear Dave floated away too, and "they floated away" doesn't make sense without any sort of context (you have to make the pronoun refer to something, and since there isn't any reference, it can't be 'they' )

Also out of all the words in the first verse, birkenstocks is like th clearest of them all.

Also, what do you guys think about this:

So alive in his way,
Like an apparition he had me crying out...

Basically, he's saying "so alive in his way" meaning that, whatever this creature/alien/person is, he is alive... in his weird alien way.

Then, like a ghost would make someone (scared shitless), he had him crying out "fuck me...etc"

I hear something like "So I lie... waiting... like an apparition he had me crying out..."

But I'm sure I hear an 's' before 'waiting'.

"Sweating"?

Or how about "Soul eyes waiting like an apparition, he had me crying out..." ?

I'm still for the old mindset, but I think the intention of phrasing is different, it's just that he sings it phrased differently, "So alive in his way like an apparition - he had me crying out"

"Are they really gonna go puttin' us on a diamond sundae right on my birkenstocks" ? (or "Are they really gonna put us on a diamond sundae? Right on my Birkenstocks! Holy Fucking Shit!")

I got that after messing around with EQ's. (for the audio geeks, drop all freqs except for the 10KHz - boost that)

Sadly, it makes no sense whatsoever.

Im still stuck on the idea that a lot of the lyrics are different depending on what exactly you are listening to. i.e.: With my headphones on, I CLEARLY hear "Peanuts Parents" in the center, but in the seperated left and right channels, I can CLEARLY hear "repeat experience". There is no doubt in my mind about this specific example, but I wouldnt be surprised if the whole song had some trick to it like this.

Ive mentioned this before, but people dont pay attention for some reason.

Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down

See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

This is the only thing I could find in that article that had anything of relavence:

"And then I saw Dave. At first I thought it was just a mirage, but there he was in his van with the Phish sticker, door beads, and embroidered tapestries. I recognized him by his frizzy hair, dressed in a tie-dye tee, Baja hoodie and hemp pants, with the familiar Birkenstocks, kicking the hackiesack. So, the biker gangs didn't scare all the hippies away after all. They were back! Looking at him, I realized that Dave was the kind of guy who would hold tightly in his palm a certain piece of metal while repeating the word "Kazik." Well, at least he'd put something in that pipe of his and smoke it. "

But I don't know that that qualifies anything in the song.

HELLO

Im still stuck on the idea that a lot of the lyrics are different depending on what exactly you are listening to. i.e.: With my headphones on, I CLEARLY hear "Peanuts Parents" in the center, but in the seperated left and right channels, I can CLEARLY hear "repeat experience". There is no doubt in my mind about this specific example, but I wouldnt be surprised if the whole song had some trick to it like this.

Ive mentioned this before, but people dont pay attention for some reason.

They say "A or ET tests on D" and the D is "Dave" (that's what they say). And he sings "Dave" in the lyrics.

I actually don't care if you don't believe me, I'm just pointing out that it's right.
Maybe when the official lyrics are out, you still won't believe it.

I don't think "they" would make sense in "Like the time they floated away". I made a post about it earlier in this thread, but I'll type it out again.

If he were to say "like the time they floated away" - it wouldn't make any sort of syntactical or logical sense. If you're going to use a pronoun, you have to have a subject for that pronoun.

If I were talking about my friend, and he were to say "Wow that tastes good" and I were to say "yeah, like the time they floated away" - he would go wtf for two reasons. One, that response doesn't even relate (and hence my both sucks and also makes a point), and also he'd be like "who the fuck is 'they'". Aside from that, I hear a 'v' which supports Dave anyway.

Just my 2 cents

i think someone read that article before they heard the song and were influenced subconsciously. I dont hear birkenstocks in RS anywhere. I do hear "Like the time dave floated away." I dont believe its the same Dave thats in the article though. The live versions have bad sound quality in the opening rapid speech sequences so its hard to make out what exactly is being said, i even put that beginning on for a friend to give me his honest opinion, and the first thing he said was "burning something.... " not birkenstocks or anthing else.

I Totally agree about the "Peanuts Parents". The lyrics before that are hard to understand, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. MJK is a fucking genius. This song is just like an acid trip

How can you not think Birkenstocks is in the song? Even Blair mentioned Birkenstocks in his post on ToolBand about how the song wasn't about him. He said something like "No I never went to Area 51 wearing Birkenstocks" etc

You may have missed my point.

All Im saying is that in different audio channels, there are different things being said that could sound like each other. I am 110% sure that "Peanuts Parents" AND "repeat experience" are said. Positive.

I was looking it up, just for shits and giggles, and apparently 'Orange Slices' is the title of some british band's fan magazine/newsletter. Maybe he was given reading material to calm him down. Some 'Orange Slices' and some Beatles (???) ... Hell if I know

Also "It was so real/surreal like the time dave floated away". Could be in reference to David Blaine's popular levitation stunt? That seems to leave quite a few people awestruck. But, there is David Copperfield as well.... If I'm even in the right ball park, which is very debatable.

There was mention of something on toolband that mentioned Birkenstocks. Yes, this is absolutely true. I read it myself. Actually, it was a whole list of things that he is not associated with (you'll understand if you read it). In retrospect, I think this little blurb may have given many clues to the lyrics. Maybe there is someone out there who has checked out toolband.com in the last two months and has not deleted their internet history. If this is you, PLEASE! copy, paste, and post! It will be listed as an HTML document, most likely with the title: News/. I think this was in late may, but could have been early june.

I'm not saying he *isn't* saying Birkenstocks... but, the above quote from Blair assumes that Blair knows the actual lyrics, himself. He may have simply been responding to allegations made by people who *think* he says 'Birkenstocks'.

"acctully eating an emptied out box of krispies kremes.." meaning he ate the empty box..

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

You believe me don't you, please believe what i just said
See they're telling true and... and this wasn't all in my head
So they took me by the hand and invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

or

You believe me don't you, please believe what i just said
See the telly told them, and this wasn't all in my head
So they took me by the hand and they martared me right in
Then they showed me something
what a hero i could have been
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, shit the bed again
Typical
Strapped down to 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
Brain dead, 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 me
Made me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
