Parabola is the name of the second single from Tool's album "Lateralus".
It was released in 2002 as a promo CD only. In support of this promo single, a music video was released — clocking in at over ten minutes, it hardly met the criteria for being broadcast on mainstream music video stations, although some channels worked around this by cutting off the "Parabol" segment.
On December 20, 2005, the song as well as the music video were released on a DVD single along with the DVD single for "Schism". The DVD also contains an additional version of the video with audio commentary by Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys fame.
