TOOL – Third Eye part 1
Posted on May 14th, 2010 by admin
See, I think drugs have done some *good* things for us, I really do. And if you dont believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a Favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn em. ‘Cause you know what? The musicians whove made all that great music thats enhanced your lives throughout the years…
Rrrrrrrrrrrrreal —— high on drugs.”
–Bill Hicks
“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.”
“It’s not a war on drugs, it’s a war on personal freedom, it´s what it is ok?. Keep that in mind at all times. Thank you!”
Dreaming of that face again.
It’s bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it’s three warm and wild eyes.
On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.
In… Out… In… Out… In… Out…
A child’s rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I’ve spent so many years in question
to find I’ve known this all along.
“So good to see you.
I’ve missed you so much.
So glad it’s over.
I’ve missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?”
Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song…
“So good to see you.
I’ve missed you so much.
So glad it’s over.
I’ve missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?”
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.
Prying open my third eye. x 10

@kevmanpwns I would …
@kevmanpwns I would have to agree with everyone else. This song is about the “Third Eye” as in the mystic third eye. Your ability to perceive the extra dimensional plane of reality.
Such as what a native american would do while “becoming one with nature” or finding their Animal Spirit Guide.

@603lateral If you …
@603lateral If you are very sensitive to things that deal with the “third eye” you can easily step off into the rabbit hole with “drugs”. I tried psilocybin once and didnt just step off… i fell face first lol. It has been 2 years and i dont think i have fully come back to “normal”. I would love to step back up to the hole and look down but i feel i may fall off again and not be able to come back like Alice did this time.

@603lateral Real …
@603lateral Real meditation can do that. Then again(if you believe in this stuff) you have to realize that everyones third eye is different. Some people are more shut off than others. I believe it has to do with blood lines as well. My family blood line can be traced all the way back to the days of the druids. I have traced the meaning of my name back to early anglo saxon days and its a reference to being a Shamanic Healer. My whole family is christian though, go figure?

@603lateral Yea, I …
@603lateral Yea, I think i’ve almost been there. If you’ve ever done shrooms it’s kinda close to that. Very calm and you feel in touch with everything in you’re surroundings but at the same time it’s all distant. Things make sense and you just understand all information flowing through your enviroment.

@adxgr0undzer0 Yeah …
@adxgr0undzer0 Yeah, that’s my theory as well. Its really amazing to think about. Everytime I go through it and my train of thought gets going really fast I get such a strange feeling like I’ve realized something that I shouldn’t have. It sounds crazy, but thats how I feel.

its pretty simple …
its pretty simple to open the third eye. actually kinda hard to explain haha but you have to be in a state of quietness and just be calm breath at some point youll feel great and you will see weird illusive stuff, its awesome

I realized this without being high, or on anything, no lie this was my 11th grade theory.
