I don't know who created the video but I'm told Tool has not releases an official clip for any of the songs on the 10, days album. If you find any clips from this album that are official please let me know!

Lyrics: 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" That's my kind of story.

Oct 17, 16, 60 It has been in a constant state of cycling since its existence, it devours itself, and because we are part of the universe it devours us as well, it's nothing personal.

I'm not sure if that's what he was referring to in the song but that's what I got out of the song. Basically, we live in fear of death, we read these events that happen in horror, glued to the screen petrified like "I'm glad that wasn't me" and finding satisfaction in the fact we survive when in reality death is just a part of life and there is nothing to be afraid of.

AlmightyPhoenix on May 01, General Comment I think that this song is about the hypocrisies of today's society. How everyone is entertained by death, as along as it doesnt effect them. There were no secrets in this song, loool. Anyway, enjoy life. Hope you find something that makes you content, and happy if possible. General Comment Simple enough, as human beings we watch others to judge our own behaviour in comparison.

The problem is that in today's 24 hour media society we've become obsessed with the miniutae of watching others suffer but we can do it "from a safe distance" and no one needs to know how much we enjoy it.

TV, newspapers, websites, it's all there, all the gory, nasty detail we could ever want to revel in and with no strings attached! You ask anyone if they enjoyed it and they will all say, "Oooh no!

It's disgusting and tragic. I can't understand why. Brilliant track. General Comment When this album first came out I was listening to Vicarious while driving. Funnily enough, the photo on the ad was very much like the cover of Lateralus, with the photo of a human being illustrating the layers beneath the skin.

What really caught my attention were the words in bold italic underneath the image: "REAL BODIES ON DISPLAY" This song really made sense to me after I saw that: I could picture people at the exhibition bypassing all the fake plastic skeletons, respiratory system drawings, etc etc, and heading straight for the "real bodies" where they would stand in droves and "stare like zombies" at this dead body on the table.

I could also imagine that people "wouldn't give pause" to even consider going to the exhibition until they learn that real dead bodies are on display.

And the fact that the advertisers found it necessary to even mention it on the ad as if that makes the whole experience more "appealing". But the funny thing is: I am no different. I would have been there front row centre, looking at the dead body.

Even though it's wrong, you can't help but look. Carnivore and voyeur. Thank you Tool. Anyway, I was late to work that day. But who cares!!! One last parting thought: Think about all those times you watch TV, or watch a movie, or even watch a motor race and hope for a crash, a murder scene, etc.

We are all monsters. We just need to admit it. General Comment Woo, first comment. Incredible song, I'm pretty sure it's about how we all sit on the couch, hypnotized, watching TV and all the tragedies that are broadcasted that we take pleasure in viewing.

Vicarious shows a sarcastic view of this. I can't wait for the new album to be out! You would have to be on the edge of leaving the physical world to understand this song. He uses negative emtional associations aimed at seperating the operator from the spectator.

StilettoDinosaur on February 24, General Comment The song isn't about getting up and doing something though, Luca It isn't about thinking we're better off than the people we watch on TV.

The song is about how we all love to watch the garbage on TV, even though many refuse to admit. There's no point judging people who relish in it; we can't change.
