Dethstrok9 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Eye on the TV 'Cause 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 a poison In his tea And kissed him goodbye That's my kind of story It's no fun until 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?" 'Cause 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 the brave nor bold Were writers of the stories 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 out of your hippie 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 I believe this epic song represents the Legion. If you've never heard it, let me know what you think, haha! 2 Quote -Voice of the Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill the barbarian Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have yet to hear a Tool song I did not like (the guitar is awesome as a bit of a shredder on my good days on rhythm guitar, I wish I could go there). Unfortunately, he is all too correct/accurate in his lyrics. Thanks. 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethstrok9 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Okay, so recently I started a series on my channel where I dissect the lyrics of Tool songs. It's been fun to make these, but this one was by far the one I put the most work into. I wrote an essay for duel enrollment which covered this song, and that essay was rejected. I was instructed to re-write it because music is subjective. So I have put that "script" to good use in this diving deep analysis of my favorite song "Lateralus" by Tool.
