Listen to the meaning of the lyrics, maaaaaaaaaaan. Yuck.
Man, Tool was just in town, but I’m still not ready for big venues. Sucks. One of the few bands I’d still like to see in person.
Eye on the TV
‘Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That’s my kind of story
It’s no fun ’til 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,
The writers of stories sold.
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
Drawn 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
Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy 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
Why is this being posted on here?
thought about this track as i watch the news cover ukrain.
and my thoughts drifted to how cnn must just be so happy becaue it will bring in the views.
yet i wonder whos worse, me for watching, or them for showing. probably equal blame.
love this track, it gets in your blood.
