why is there no real description

Why do you folks think there is no real explanation for the video? Seems rather strange doesn't it. To go through the trouble of making a video that maybe no one can understand.

Re: why is there no real description

there are lots of explanantions if you read emerson, thoreau, or whitman actually... the problem is, that the symbolism doesn't necessarily match up with 'vicarious', the song.

the video itself, though, has lots of symbolism with the eyes, the spirals, the fetus inside of the head, etc.

Re: why is there no real description

definatley, also when i watch it, its different for me everytime. its always sparking new ideas and keeping my mind occupied with its own translations and revealing to me that i have the power to create my own interpretation. Im sure to them it means something but who really knows?

Re: why is there no real description

That's what i like in both Tool's music and video's. You can listen/watch it over and over again and still find something new.
