Parabol & Parabola

Without knowing the lyrics, you would never know that this is the greatest love song ever written. This song is hard rocking, but in an uplifting way, not in the dark way many other tool songs rock. It is a celebration of life and love. It is me and Christina’s song. I really like the way it is written without having a “he” or “she” in it, so both of us can feel it the same.

It is one of the few Tool songs that still affects me emotionally. Most of the other ones I have to connect to someone I used to be. Listening to it now makes me miss Christina and at the same time so happy that I have her. I can’t wait to rock out with her at these shows. Just two days Bebe!

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Alive

This holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

Swirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
chance to be alive and breathing
chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.
