    #TOOL #Undertow
    Lyrics:
    Two times in
    I've been struck dumb by a voice that
    Speaks, from deep beneath peerless water that's
    Twice as clear as heaven
    Twice as loud as reason
    Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
    Just as neverending
    Current's mouth below me
    Opens up around me
    Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
    Surrounds and drowns, and wipes me away
    But I'm so comfortable
    So comfortable
    Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
    You're saturating me
    How could I let this bring me
    Back to my knees?
    Third time in!
    I've been baptized by your voice that
    Screams, from deep beneath the cold black water that's
    Half as high as heaven
    Half as clear as reason
    Cold and black like silt on the riverbed
    Just as neverending
    Current's mouth below me
    Opens up around me
    Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
    Surrounds and drowns, and wipes me away
    But I'm so comfortable
    So comfortable
    Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
    You're saturating me
    How could I let this happen?
    Why don't you kill me?
    I am weak and numb and insignificant
    How could I let this bring me back to my knees?
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    I'm back down, I'm in the undertow
    I'm helpless and I'm awake, I'm in the undertow
    I'll die beneath the undertow
    There doesn't seem to be a way out of the undertow
    Euphoria

    As an ex 90’s metal drummer I gotta say that this drum track is one of the hardest Danny Carey tracks to try and replicate. Even the simple grooves are very complicated and hard to nail with a precise kind of flow. Danny is amazing. But so is the band. Tool always has been and will always be Tool

      It's about helping people suffering in the shadow realm. To help them transcend out of their shadow self, toward their higher selves. It's actually a very deep song, based on studies of the psychologist Carl Jung. Carl Jung implemented the term "Shadow self" and they have been using his psychology in many songs. Including this, sober "there's a shadow just behind me", 46&2 "Stepping through the shadow". According to Carl Jung, you only reach enlightenment by stepping past your shadow, realizing your divine nature of both darkness and light.
      Tool is indeed, a highly creative band.

    [Verse 1]
    Two times in
    I've been struck dumb by a voice that
    Speaks from deep beneath peerless water that's
    Twice as clear as heaven
    Twice as loud as reason
    Deep and rich like silt on a riverbed
    Just as never ending
    Current's mouth below me
    Opens up around me
    Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
    Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away
    But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable
    [Chorus]
    Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
    You're saturating me
    How could I let this bring me
    Back to my knees?
    [Verse 2]
    Third time in
    I've been baptized by your voice that
    Screams from deep beneath the cold black water that's
    Half as high as heaven
    Half as clear as reason
    Cold and black like silt on the riverbed
    Just as never ending
    Current's mouth below me
    Opens up around me
    Suggests and beckons all while swallowing
    Surrounds and drowns and wipes me away
    But I'm so comfortable, so comfortable
    [Chorus]
    Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
    You're saturating me
    How could I let this happen?
    Why don't you kill me?
    I am weak and numb and insignificant
    How could I let this bring me
    Back to my knees?
    [Bridge]
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    Euphoria
    [Outro]
    I'm back down, I'm in the undertow
    I'm helpless and I'm awake, I'm in the undertow
    I'll die beneath the undertow
    There doesn't seem no other way out of the undertow
    Euphoria

      @@DerHalbeEuro hmmm. Probably would be a better experience if you were an english speaker first and foremost. For example, chinese sounds like slurring and mumbling to me but to another chinese speaker it might sound perfect. I will admit that their rhythm is always weird. It's like they have a rule where they can't stick with a beat for 10 seconds, so whenever you try to keep on time, you're really thrown off. They make it work somehow though.

      most of tool is either written in weird time signatures, and they're usually not the same between instruments.
      they also switch between them pretty fluidly. the main riff (guitar) in schism is alternating between 5/4, 4/4, 5/8 and 7/8. that's why it sounds rhythmically off
