  • Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Schism by Tool to discuss the ways in which conflict can negatively impact a relationship. Tool describes how often during a conflict there is inherent disconnection and that can cause people to blame the other person and forget the end goal which is connection. Tool asks us to use the passion that ignited the relationship to create intense compassion while we go through moments of conflict.

If they do the live video, you all say they should have done the lyric video. If they do the lyric video, you all say they should have done the official video. No matter what they choose, SOMEONE will inevitably tell them they chose wrong. And it’s every video on every channel at this point.

    One of my favourite parts is the way that the song's arrangement reinforces the lyrics' message. The song starts in 5/4, then spends most of the remainder alternating between 5/8, 6/8 and 7/8, which are all "uneven"-sounding time signatures, reinforcing the messages of disconnection and disjointedness in the lyrics. And then, right at the end, it shifts back to the much more stable-sounding 8/8...while Maynard repeats "I know the pieces fit". Genius.

When I have a conflict with my partner the first thing I do is give up trying to convince them I am "right." Instead {if they are stable enough) I ask without any sarcasm to explain what they are feeling and thinking, then repeat it as best I can in my own words. Once they agree I understand often the conflict is over. When it is not they ASK me to explain my side - reciprocation. This will only work if both of you truly still care about each other.

But your analysis and commentary has enlightened me, for good, and I just wanna say thank you...

    The whole Lateralus album is an absolute journey. If I hit a point in life where my anxiety and stress levels push me to the brink, I listen to that album and it brings me down from the emotional ledge. I can't recommend the whole album enough. And then the art of Alex Grey (does the art/album covers for TOOL) is also fun for the mind.

    A song from this album called The Patient helped me see a clearer picture of my depression and obsessive worrying and panic. The lyrics “I must keep reminding myself of this” was my anthem, it was my OCD telling me I needed/had to worry… but that line also stood for the coping work I had to practice relentlessly to break the cycle of thinking. It’s hard to explain. This album came out about a year after my symptoms really came on. And I honestly credit it with helping to save my life. Almost the entire album is like this. It’s been 24 years since my symptoms started. I’m stable, healthy, married with two astounding children. I give God credit for all good things. But these guys and they’re music have given my emotions a voice since I was 13 years old. ❤️

    I LOVE watching people react to Tool. Their lyrics are so amazing and I'm so glad you could see that and point it out to people. My favorite song by them is Parabola. It's a reminder for me, in the throes of depression, that I chose to be here and the pain I feel is an illusion even tho it feels devastating. It's helpful for me to be able to separate myself from the pain so I can examine it from a higher perspective
