    Lyrics:
    I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
    Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lover's souls in motion
    Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
    The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
    We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication
    I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
    No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
    To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
    To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
    The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
    And the circling is worth it
    Finding beauty in the dissonance
    There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
    I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
    Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication
    (Cold, cold, cold) cold silence has
    A tendency to
    Atrophy any
    Sense of compassion
    Between supposed lovers
    Between supposed lovers
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit
    I know the pieces fit

    Tool is one of those bands that defies description. You cannot explain to someone how hard they rock. How heavy but harmonic, how melodic and dissonant, how much listening to their music will redefine what Heavy Metal means to you.
    If Pink Floyd and Metallica were two sides of a coin, Tool is the edge.

    I heard this song for the first time at 13 years old right when Lateralus came out. I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing (driving to my grandma's birthday party), what radio station I heard it on (Rock 108 Iowa), everything. Even on a shitty car stereo it was mind blowing. The song wasn't over when we got to where we were going so I just stayed in the car and spiraled out while the rest of my family went inside. The next day I went out and bought Lateralus and I don't think a week has gone by without listening to something from the TOOL catalogue. A little over a year after hearing Schism I saw them live (my first legit concert) in Moline and damn near died of amazement. I've now seen them live 4 times and every show is somehow better than the one before. Each of their albums are unique, amazing pieces of art in their own way, but I still consider Lateralus to be their best album front to back. Best album of all time, really.

    • @quantumastrologer5599
      @quantumastrologer5599 3 роки тому +4

      Taken from the wiki entry on 'individuation':
      In Jungian or analytical psychology, individuation is the process where the individual self develops out of an undifferentiated unconscious - seen as a developmental psychic process during which innate elements of personality, the components of the immature psyche, and the experiences of the person's life become, if the process is more or less successful, integrated over time into a well-functioning whole.
      yw
      edit: there could be a second layer to the interpretation of a more spiritual kind which sees humanity as an organism which is - much as the individuum described above - fractured into subjects yet able through commucation to overcome this split and reunite as one or some such thing.

      @@yourweirdplant From personal experience in my local club, with proper dancefloor and all, the bass line is great, but kinda locks you into a certain groove most of the time.
      Once it goes polyrhythmic, after the last verse, the rhythm change alone creates this palpable shift in mood. A polyphonic ballet, followed by "cold silence..." in unison, into the 'brutal' finale. It feels like magic.
      I think we can agree it's one of the best transitions/endings in rock music history, so it's kinda understandable why people gravitate towards it.

I'm old enough to understand the lyrics and more importantly relate to them in my own way. Thank you Dad for introducing me to Tool

    This was my first Tool song I heard in 2001.
    I fell in love with this one. But never understood the magnitude this song would mean 19 years later. My wife filed for divorce, and this song just fits the mood. Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion. There is beauty is this song. Even in the turmoil and heartache I am currently feeling. Tool's music truly does evolve with a person. I am finding more and more all the time, their music starts to blend in with my life especially as I age. This isn't my favorite of their stuff. But dang does it resonate. Shine on benevolent Tool fans

    I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
    Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lover's souls in motion
    Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
    The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
    We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication
    I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them tumble down
    No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire
    To point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
    To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication
    The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
    And the circling is worth it
    Finding beauty in the dissonance
    There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
    I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
    Doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication
    cold silence has
    A tendency to
    Atrophy any

    @michaelshultz8973 Рік тому +14

    I just noticed how Tool uses the guitar/bass combo and the meter in this song to actually demonstrate the coming together of two different things to create something greater than the sum of its parts. A measure of 5 and a measure of 7 can combine to create a more stable-feeling "meta-measure" (if that's even a thing) of 12. The vocals play with this idea between 1:08-1:14 and 2:48-2:53. In the verses, the guitar and bass play the same single-note line at different intervals, cooperating to create harmony. So in addition to this just being one of the best songs ever written, every element within it is thematic. This is absolutely brilliant.

Maybe try something new, and most importantly: keep practicing. You just you have to find your own way. ♡ Everyone does.

      I get whatcha mean - however, this general rule for "popular" music never has applied to Tool for me. For some people, it absolutely does apply, but they're those who would listen to an entire Nickelback CD and enjoy it. I dunno how, but that's the type of people who would like one or two songs on a Tool album.
      Just my $0.05

    That's the song that makes me discover Tool fifteen years ago. It was played in a bar. I've been hooked immediately. Years later Tool is definitely the best rock band that I know and I think of our era. I saw them 6 times live. Amazing experiences!

    One of Tools greatest songs. I saw them live in concert a few weeks ago and they closed the show with this gem. It was so spectacular. Not my first time seeing the band live, that was 23 years ago, but still just as exhilarating as the first time I heard it live 🤘❤

    I'll never forget that after school one afternoon I was hanging out in my friends living room waiting for him to get ready. MTV was on and they said this is the new single from Tool, Schism. After the music video ended I was blown away and realized how huge this was going to be. I knew of Tool as my friends listened to them but this song really turned me onto them.

    Damn. Honestly I’m not sure many would understand how much this has helped me.
    For years I knew and sang this song.
    I started listening to an audiobook of Jung..
    But last night I was meditating on fragmentation. And I encountered, still in a low resolution, the pieces.
    Many relationships and encounters with the opposite sex have been through anima projection.
    It left fragments of my psyche in broken relationships and outbursts over the course of my whole chronology.
    The resentment that I had for those
    Experiences and my accounts got shoved into my unconscious.
    And for a kairos moment, I encountered the lady.
    I burst into tears within the multitude,
    Like sober sobbing, crawling on my belly clearing out what could have been. Wallowing in my own chaotic insecure delusion.
    In my shadow.
    Shedding persona, digging into old wounds.
    And, with my relationship to Christ, encountered his perfect order, his accomplishment and glory.
    All meanwhile, the lovers came to be.
    It probably helped that my wife came to company me.
    It was quite a moment of clarity.
    And this song helped me process through some of it.
    Even if, for just a moment of clarity

    I've known this song for years, I've liked it for different motives spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, instrumentally and in terms of music and art, but now recently the entinre speech and meaning of this song has come true in a recent situation in my life. It's incredible how I would've never thought of this before when hearing this, and when all of this happened, the lyrics to this song immediately popped in my head, they had never been more accurate and truthful. Art is insane, and sure does live on... everchanging and evolving, just as we are. Put the pieces back together.

    The riff at 5:45 is fucking AMAZING. I call it the 'descending' riff, because it sounds like it's falling down the fretboard. That tied together with the title Schism, and the message of love withering and falling apart, I just picture a building collapsing in my head once they hit that riff
