Vicarious - Tool

Adoro esse som!!! Esta música faz parte do Álbum "10.000 days" do Tool.

Pra quem não conhece, o Tool é uma banda que teve início em 1990, e tem um estilo de "metal" mais underground, com letras viscerais e um som pesado e bem trabalhado. É também conhecida por seus clipes que carregam animações de muito bom gosto e sempre muito conceitual. Acredito que quem escuta as músicas do Tool e assiste seus clipes sempre interpreta de alguma forma diferente.

Essa música Vicarious é uma música que ironiza o instinto e a sede de sangue que os seres humanos sentem ao assistirem os noticiários, e a hipocrisia de muitos em não admitirem isso. Segue o vídeo abaixo e a letra também.



Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used a poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
I've got a story
It's never fun till 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 a mothers holds her child
And 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 to, 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
Writers their 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 falling down, drowning grave and mound
Part vampire, part warrior
Carnivore and warrior
Still have the transmit
To sink to the death rattle

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-lie (3x)

Credulous at best your desire to believe in, angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out; Your head believes, so please 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
