[edit] Song Information

Does someone know what the song lyrics are about? Other Tool (band) track entries in Wikipedia have some sort of song description attached.202.78.157.157 10:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I guess this should be one of the easiest Tool songs to figure out. Read this part again:
[...] 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 see to reach an end, crippling our communication 
[...]
(We're) doomed to crumble unless we grow and strengthen our communication.
Hope that helps.. These interpretations can normally not be included in song articles, unless they have been reported elsewhere. --Johnnyw talk 11:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Should this article be merged with Schism (DVD)?Irn 00:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. —Keenan Pepper 01:25, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah.--Johnnyw 20:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes. -- Rynne 17:24, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't see any reason why or why not. If so, just make sure to edit the Parabola (DVD) page accordingly, as it has a link to the Schism (DVD) article.SeanQuixote | talk | my contribs 23:30, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too much infomation.

Do we really need so much information on how the song is played? Its too confusing & overwhelming for the reader.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Thief (talk • contribs) .

I shortened it down to the one analysis that was done by Guitar One and moved it into its own section.--Johnnyw 12:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Not to mention wrong. Schism is mostly alternating between 5/8, and 7/8. |XxXxx|XxXxXxx|
I agree. to count this song as 6/8 is just plain awkward. The alternating time signatures give the song that unique push pull feel.206.180.109.86 (talk) 17:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank You. --The Thief 23:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The song analysis is over the top. What proportion of readers are going to really read that in depth and get something out of it? A link should be put to a page that has the analysis of the song . M0rt 11:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

That isn't a valid statement. However, since no one can agree on an interpretation, i will agree with your conclusion. It should be nixed. Since Tool straightforwardly refuses to discuss what their newer songs mean, having a place where wiki members can post about it make no sense. Tool does have message boards for that kind of thing, it is better suited for places like that. Links to Toolband.com, toolarmy.com and toolnavy.com would be much better suited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.215.95 (talk • contribs)
