Lyrics:
I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smouldering
Fundamental differing
Pure intention juxtaposed
Will set two lovers' 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 seem 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 smouldering
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
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
And I know the pieces fit
My brother introduced me to Tool when I was 19, he was 17. I'm now 43 and he's been gone a year and a half. 2 years before that, our mother died. After that, we fought and didn't speak for over a year. We only started talking again because I sent him a video (I can't remember which one but pretty sure it was MGK). I'm so glad I decided to send him that because it opened up a tiny line of communication. My brother and I were very close a lot in our lives. So fighting and not speaking with him killed me, especially since I didn't have our mom to talk to about it. Anyway, shortly after we started talking again, he hung himself. He was an alcoholic who knew his body couldn't really take anymore. We don't KNOW, but it gives us comfort to believe that's why he left us so horribly.
I told all of that awfulness to say this, I used to think Sober was "his song". When I heard it, he is who came to mind. He struggled whis entire adult life with addiction. But I just saw Tool had been playing some older songs and saw Schism was one, which is one of my favorites.
Went to listen and lost it. I watched the pieces crumble down. It's killing me. I have to stay for a multitude of reasons but some days I just want to be with my family.
And yes, I have family. My dad, his family, my partner and children, friends. But those 2 people are my FAMILY. We're fricking crazy, but we loved one another. Despite it all. Through it all.
Don't mean to be a downer, I'd just never really equated this song to my brother. Tool in general, 100%, other songs, sure.
✌️💜🍕
Thank you for sharing your story story
❤❤❤❤❤
This was the last song of the nite in Birmingham, Bama
❤❤❤❤❤❤
im so sorry dear :( i hope you’ve been healing well & these lyrics brought you bittersweet comfort
I've loved tool since my teen years. Twenty years later I'm finding the lyrics ripping me apart. Crazy how different you hear music when you're older
Seriously it blows me away. They knew what they were doing we were just too young.
Life will give you perspective and music makes you feel that perspective. Good shit.
Can’t express how much I relate to this comment. 🤯
I feel the EXACT same way!!!
"Ive done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing, doomed to crumble, unless we grow, and strengthen our communication."
This line single handedly drew tears.
The Drummer from Tool was from a different planet!
This is such an ingenious song. The music conveys a sort of frustration and longing at certain points and hesitant surrender at others but anxiety and dread through it all. The lyrics perfectly convey the really delicate balance between passion and apathy two people must simultaneously walk to keep from falling off the tightrope that is a relationship.
I've listened to tool since undertow and it's now that I am 43 understanding the lyrics! Once you awaken your soul certain songs will make me cry everytime now! Lateralus is my favorite album! God bless these souls
Such an amazing song...you can just feel it to your core!
If this doesn't hit you in the heart. Your heartless.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Can’t we all just appreciate Tool, and leave it at that? The Music speaks for itself. Let it lift you and enjoy the ride😊👍
Well said!
Discovered tool when i was 15 now im 26 and im still here ❤
45 and still toolarmy
You'll have Tool forever and a day.

It makes a difference to see the whole work keep going, thank you
This song still gets me emotional.. ART!!!
Dam I forgot how sick this song is adding riffs with my guitar with major drive fukin wild
There are so many stories here in the comments that are maybe more powerful than the song itself.
I love you guys
Perfect song
Freaking awesome 🎉
My brother didn't believe I could play this on bass (In all honesty, Idk If I have ever played it all-through)
I hate counting! lol
Same reason I am a bad drummer!
Nothing is bad for music,
I can play this song on guitar with my eyes closed. Now, singing along is another story.
I get lost halfway through it too...
Are you left handed?
Music lovers who dive deep into it end up studying the sounds that vibrate around the music world helping us create our own...either we test it in our mind or speak it....I know some understand me.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Well done,well balanced Shihath
I wonder if the inspiration for this came from a fight he had with his girl over an ikea piece of furniture. Cause if you’ve ever done that with your lady it’ll test your communication for sure.
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's so fucking funny. Best comment ever
DEEP!
Ty so much!🤘👍🙏
You're welcome

That's why he keeps saying I know the pieces fit
It bothers me that everyone now loves this band and most don’t even really know why they like them. It’s beyond annoying when I had the eye tattooed on me back in 96’ and most people then had zero idea who this band was, and the people that loved them still couldn’t find out much about them. It’s annoying when half the people are just showing up to say they did. Lucky to have seen them 9 times as a legit fan.
I get what u mean, but I think people can just like things because they do. I have no reasons except I like his voice, I love the lyrics and how much he puts into each song, like idk if that makes me a "true" fan but I know most of the songs and lyrics so I guess I can say I like them. Why. Coz I do.
Congratulations you should get an award
Speaking of Tools…. 😀
But have you experienced death on 5gs on golden teachers to this song😂😂😂
So weird that you are bothered that other people are discovering the good shit in life! Join us all!
My friend Ramses called me scism because of this song.
I fight a war with a lover as such
Even though the pieces fit, you have to find the correct order
87,000...Ive done the math, I KNOW THE PIECES FIT 😮😂 📱
When mom said She was going back to Dad. I said "what the f your leaving me after all we've done ' noe
Coupling
I know
The pieces fit
Who knew right?!
It's hard to nail the lyrics man but I keep trying
The Song is about the “Great Schism” which is history of the east and west church. It’s about how the church was once good and pure and over the centuries it had been corrupted by humans.
“Between supposed lovers” 1 being the Orthodox Catholic and the other being Orthodox Christian. They were once in unison and had been separated by different ideologies causing the state of the current church.
Thanks for the history lesson my dude. I love it!
@@michaelmoran6604I knew not about the Great Schism. I'll give it a read. But to me, this song talks about the lack of communication between everyone and everything.
From awful politicians spreading hate and not being in touch with what the people truly need because they wanna be the acclaimed leader, to cold beds and empty kisses in a relationship that's slowly degrading into nothing
@@Fidozo15 that’s what the Great schism was. A corruption of truth.
Hint: this song is by Metallica
I finally figured out how to play this on the drums and my friend told me it was grade 7
7/10😅

Cold silence has…a tendency too…atrophy any…sense of compassion…
This comment literally popped up right as I got to that part.
Me and my ex could have done this! Its sad, fucked up and lost the love of my life.
Time to rediscover communication
Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion
@@Fidozo15 BEEEETWEEEEN SUPOSEEED LOVEEEEERS
I can’t figure out the lyrics or meaning for nothing
"Schism" by Tool is a musical and lyrical journey that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the inevitable fractures that can occur within them. Released in 2001 as part of the album "Lateralus," the song's title reflects its central theme - a schism or division between individuals. In this brief essay, we'll explore the layers of meaning embedded in "Schism."
The lyrics of "Schism" paint a vivid picture of disconnection and disintegration. The opening lines, "I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away," set the tone for introspection, suggesting a keen awareness of the breakdown of unity. The choice of words, such as "cold," "silent," and "empty," conveys a sense of emotional distance and isolation, emphasizing the emotional toll of fractured relationships.
The recurring theme of pieces not fitting and the analogy of a jigsaw puzzle evoke the challenges of reconciling differences. The imagery suggests that, once broken, the components may not seamlessly come back together. This struggle is mirrored in the song's dynamic musical composition, featuring shifting time signatures and intricate instrumentation, reflecting the tension and discord described in the lyrics.
The chorus introduces the idea of a schism within oneself, acknowledging the dangers of second-guessing and internal conflict. The line "I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing" speaks to the psychological toll of overanalyzing and questioning, leading to a fragmented sense of self.
As the song progresses, it builds in intensity, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the escalating conflict within the narrative. The instrumental breaks showcase Tool's prowess in creating a visceral and emotionally charged musical experience.
"Schism" invites listeners to reflect on the challenges inherent in maintaining unity and understanding in relationships. It suggests that, despite our efforts to comprehend and connect, there are forces that can lead to inevitable divisions. The song's enduring impact lies in its ability to resonate with those who have grappled with the complexities of human connections, offering a sonic and lyrical exploration of the fractures that can occur both externally and within our own psyches.
@@sihathduljan8319 I greatly appreciate your extremely well written, and complex definition of the song , that was super awesome. I wish I could write something that descriptive and something written that well , maybe I need to work on that lol thank you very much. I really appreciate it more than you know, that was awesome and I’m sure I’m not the only one that will get something out of that. You performed a nice deed in the world today whoever you are.
This song has true meaning in life as a whole, in humanity as a whole… Not just relationships between lovers, but everyone… We are separated between various countries, languages too, as well as our views on not just how a country should be ran with its own government structure, but religion as well…
Jesus Christ, I never thought would have been real, till he proved his existence onto me, via dreams and facts about having lived AND risen from the dead. This song, “Schism”, it truly highlights how all of us men and women of the world CAN fit together, but we choose to let a variety of things get between us all… Our pieces do fit together, and if we all truly cared to try and fix things, to put our focus on not being each other’s enemies, but all opposing Satan/Lucifer himself instead… We could truly fix the world, and God wants as many of us to be saved before the days of Revelations come upon us.
I know I definitely want us all to get along more than be at each other’s throats, I pray even all the LGBTQ+ types realize the truth of the Holy Bible, as it would reveal why they all are so confused at their hearts and minds about WHO they are… Let alone letting lust rule their lives… Like it has ruled mine…
We all need help, even if you believe yourself to have already been saved by Jesus Christ, you do need to always self-reflect on yourself, your own life, your own flaws as a whole… I’m not preaching because I think I’m above anyone here… I especially grew up in the new-age belief, grew up with music like this influencing me deeply in ways it never should have.
To anyone who reads this, I pray this message helps you understand how the pieces fit, we just need to work together to fit them back together as much as possible.
In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, I pray this, amen.
1 Corinthians 12:25-27 KJV
[25] that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. [26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Jesus Christ name I believe OMG I repent please help Father
I'm glad someone else sees God in this like I do!!! It's so true. God will forgive you, dedicate your life to Him. And LISTEN TO HIS VOICE! You know it's there, you can't deny it. Call me crazy, it's what they're supposed to do! I love hearing the voice of God, it has saved lives as well as my own. Empathy is the greatest reward ❤
@@jessicagoodrich5248y’all need to listen to different music. other people have different opinions. quit forcing your stupid religion on people. you uneducated fucks.
In Yeshua name ❤
I know the pieces fit Cause I watched them fall away. Tattooed on my right inner arm.
