Have we reached a consensus on this yet? I believe, (after listening to the song, approaching 500 times) that it is "Damn my eyes, Jam my eyes, Dim my eyes" said in subsequent order. This makes good lyrical sense, plus I can hear his emphasis on the "ssssss" after eyes, therefore (for me at least), putting to rest any idea that it is JAMBIE. Anyway, wanted to throw this out there since Kabir said after seeing it live it gave more credence to the Jambie theory, which lyrically seems pretty stupid to me. There is a "Jam" in there, but not in that context I believe. Have at it...

Hmmm, iv always thought it was dim my eyes. But now that you mention it, i always based that on the fact that i clearly hear him say dim the third time...will have to listen again to the first 2 times....

I'm growing partial to this idea that he's saying different things each time, mainly because there are lots of people that are certain it's one of them (I've always thought it was "Dim my eyes"), but there's no consensus yet... you might be on to something here...

When the lyrics are released and it's "Damn my eyes, damn my eyes, dim my eyes." can I come back here and laugh heartily?

The third one could be 'Damn my eyes' too, but I'll eat my hat* if it's Jambi eyes.

*Don't own a hat.

I think the idea of Damn my eyes, Jam my eyes/jambi eyes, dim my eyes is spot on. I hadn't thought of him saying three different things...but I think that's right. Whatever the middle one is, it deffinatly starts with a J.

After several listening sessions, with friends, it was a consensus that it was dim my eyes, dim my eyes, dim my eyes.

seriously though, i think he says damn my eyes the first and third time, and the second one i think sounds like it begins with a 'j', so i think the 2nd one is "jambi"....so i think it goes, "damn my eyes, jambi, damn my eyes."

After another handful of headphones, alone listening sessions, I freely admit to being wrong. I do now believe it is Damn my eyes, at least the last two times. Thanks.

I reckon it goes "Damn my eyes!" for the first time, then "Dim my eyes" for the last two.

Where are people getting 'Jam-bi' from? Clearly not a 'J' sound to me.

I still think Jambi Eyes is RIDICULOUS. If it's correct, its the worst Tool line ever.

Dim/Damn is sooo much better.

And for the guy who says it has to be Jambi Eyes because of Pee Wee's Playhouse... Jambi on that show was pronounced JOMBEE. Doesn't sound the same at all.

Whenever (and that's a BIG whenever) I listen to this song, I like to sing along (God help me I don't know why) and whenever it gets the "Jambi/Jam my eyes" part, I start pretending to poke myself in the eyes. Its fun. You should try it. I think that was the purpose of this song: humor.

If I'm out in public, like sitting in my car in a parking lot or something, i'll start doing it and people will give me the WEIRDEST looks!

It's like-"what the fuck's the matter with them?".........You know?

I'm glad everyone who is listening to these live recordings are so sure that they're willing to upload the recording and give us all a link.


For christ's sake. This is the Internet...not the back of some 3rd period English class. If the recording is SOOOOO clear, upload the fucker and let us hear/confirm.

It might be Dim instead of Damn, all I know is it's a "D", not a "J".

Live playing of the song never meaned a thing, Maynard doesn't give a shit about sticking to his own lyrics.

To get Jambi eyes from damn my eyes is easy
D a mn M y E y e s
J a m B y e E y e s


That being said, the middle line may be Jambi eyes, the other two are definitly not if you listen hard the second line starts with alot more of a J sound then the other two. I think its either damn my eyes x3(more likly) or damn my eyes and jambi eyes.

I think it's you who fails the entry test...

Look, I've listened to the album version and now two different live versions (Seattle show and Texas Show) it's soo clear he's singing dim. There is no DA sound at all..so wake up and smell what you've been shoveling...it's not Damn...it's Dim.

So, you say it with me, and maynard...It's DIM my eyes, Dim my eyes, DIM my eyes if they should compromise....

Besides, damn my eyes makes little sense.. So let's see, you'd what? Damn your eyes to hell? What about the rest of you? Your eyes are what allow you to see, if you dim them, you slightly alter that ability so you don't have to see something quite as clearly. That makes a hell of lot more sense to me.

And for the last time, there is also no Ja sound. Stop trying to make the connection between the title and the song. We have no idea why nard named this song Jambi.

i dont know, jambi eyes sounds really weird to me, i mean try saying it. . .JAMBYE (as you have seemed to agree it is pronounced) it feels weird just saying it. I really do think it is damn my eyes, it makes sense in the song and sounds good with it, i dont think ihe changes the word throughout it either it just sounds like damn my eyes all the way through

Please explain to me (literally) how damn my eyes makes any sense?? Dim my eyes does because it makes your vision less clear...but damn my eyes...that just doesn't make any sense.

Its like "curse". Ya know how Threepio says "Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!" Well, Maynard is like an ultra-cool C-3PO, and he's replacing "Curse" with "Damn", and "body" with "eyes." It works.
