10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my need-to-know post just outside Area 51 Contemplating the whole chosen people thingy when just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this Cutting right angle doughnuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks and me yelping... HOLY FUCKING SHIT Holy fucking shit Fucking shit Holy fucking shit Holy fucking shit Holy fucking shit...fucking shit...fucking shit Then the X-Files being, looking like some kinda blue-green Jackie Chan With Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked of vanilla chig champa Did a slow-mo Matrix decent outta the butt end of the banana vessel and hovered above my bug-eyes, My gaping jaw, And my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip, And all I could think was, I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice That I pissed my fucking pants. So light in his way Like an apparition, He had me crying out, Fuck me! It's gotta be the Deadhead chemistry! The blotter got right on top of me Got me seeing E motherfucking T! And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose, He said you are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it And a warning for those who do not. Me, the chosen one They chose me And I didn't graduate from fucking high school! You had better You had better You had better You had better listen Then he looked right through me With somniferous almond eyes Don't even know what that means Must remember to write it down, This is so real Like the time Dave floated away See my heart is pounding 'Cause this shit never happens to me! Can't breathe right now It was so real Like I woke up in Wonderland Also a bit terrifying I don't wanna be all alone When I tell this story And can anyone tell me why ya'll sound like Peanuts parents Will I ever be coming down? This is so real Finally it's my lucky day See my heart is racing 'Cause this shit never happens to me I can't breathe right now You believe me don't you Please believe what I just said See the dead ain't tourin' And this wasn't all in my head. See they took me by the hand And invited me right in Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin Strapped down to my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive am I dead Can't remember what they said God damn shit the bed High eye (repeated) I believe you (repeated, heard faintly in background) Overwhelmed as one would be Placed in my position Such a heavy burden now to be the one Born to bear and bring to all The details of our ending To write it down for all the world to see. But I forgot my pen Shit the bed again Typical. Strapped down to my bed Feet cold and eyes red I'm out of my head Am I alive am I dead? Sunkist and sudafed Gyroscopes and infrared Won't help the brain-dead Can't remember what they said God damn shit the bed IIIIIII can't remember what they said to me Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero Can't remember what he said Bob help me! Can't remember what he said Don't know, won't know (repeated) God damn shit the bed! If you find some error in Rosetta Stoned Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

Review about Rosetta Stoned um | Reviewer: Marissa | 11/3/09 I think everything that needed to be said about the song, has been said. Kickass song. I just want to point out how much I love that when I came to this page, the ad on the right side was for the movie Fourth Kind. I love irony. Location of area 51 | Reviewer: code red | 10/19/09 i got a few things to say... 1. Area 51 is known to be near Roswell NM. and last time i went through, i saw a alian musiem next to a drug shop. clonclusion, Tool saw this too and said "wtf?" 2.this is split track. Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned are ment to be one full track like parabol and parabola. the reason for this might be to justify priceing of an album. also, this was ment to be a story about a man geting a coma by useing DMT. 3.DMT + High durggies seeing aliens = reason tool made this song and lost keys. i rest my case. To the guy that said DMT is cough syrup | Reviewer: tool luv | 9/11/09 here is a description - DMT is a powerful, visual psychedelic which produces short-acting effects when smoked. It is used orally in combination with an MAOI, as in ayahuasca brews. It is naturally produced in the human brain and by many plants. You idiot DMT has nothing at all to do with cough syrup its totally different. You are thinking of DXM which does nothing but make you sick. Know your stuff before you post please. This song is about a DMT trip and even mentions LSD blotter acid. its all about a trip he had and is in the hospital telling his story. Tool's best song | Reviewer: Johan | 9/3/09 "10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT" We know this is about a DMT-trip. Lost keys also indicates that this is a about drugs. Although I think this is about DMT, it could also be LSD, "Blame Hoffman", he first made LSD, not DMT as far as I know? "just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this " - reaction #1 on the trip, first time user maybe? Could this song be about Maynards first Dmt-trip? "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" - Reaction #2 2nd verse appears really weird to me, lot's of random TV-related name dropping. Search "Uncle Martin" on google and you will find that he was an alien in some old ass sitcom www.tvacres.com/aliens_martians_martin.htm In conclusion, this verse may be the first contact with aliens - "Did a slow-mo Matrix decent outta the butt end of the banana vessel" - is this banana vessel the spaceship? :) All right, 3rd verse "The blotter got right on top of me Got me seeing E motherfucking T!" Reaction #3? Holy shit im seeing aliens! :) Holy crap i can't continue this...it's too much. Lol, I have my whole interpretation in my head, just can't be assed to write it all down. Probably the reason why this is the best song ever ;) interpretation | Reviewer: D.Zizzo | 5/31/09 Tool said that the Area 51 thing INSPIRED it, it doesn't mean that thats all this song was written about, Maynard tends to throw a billion relatively similar ideas into one song, this song is also about drinking cough syrup and trippin' out thinking that there's aliens [ or a higher/more intelligent presence ] among you. I've tried it before...fucked up hahaha And who cares about the actual meaning, music can be interpreted in anyway one chooses to, you can't tell people what to do with music, they'll do whatever the fuck they please... Sigh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/19/09 The songs about the guys ramblings at area 52. Tool has even said that's what inspired this song. Interpret however you will. But don't forget how the composer originally created the song and what it's actually about. -------- | Reviewer: Vryyk | 5/19/09 I think you're all over-analyzing the song. Maynard spells it out in Lateralus, "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities." Instad of conveying an exact meaning I believe this ong is designed to be many things to many people. Instead you should derive your own meaning regardless of what anyone else thinks and guard it with your goddamn life. maybe... | Reviewer: TJF | 4/27/09 maybe it's just about a trip he had, but there's no way he wrote it while he was tripping and therefore it is subject to certain meaning that he may have imposed. I personally think the song could be about a lot of things, one is an internal controversy, that is, should he believe what happened to him while he was tripping but as he references the aliens and whatnot in such ridiculous fashion i'd say he's mocking the idea of believing in something so ridiculous. He references Scientology several times which as many of you know he has openly cursed and quite frankly it's a ridiculous belief system. That's where it's interesting to me, he's putting the subject/character and making his thoughts seem reasonable and real through a song. Maybe he's just saying that anyone can be crazy and if that's the case can we really call it crazy? Can we blame these people who claim ridiculous shit if it was real to them? I'd say so, lol. That's probably why Maynard still does shit like this, cus it makes him see things differently, makes him a little crazy. But that's just speculation. Point of consensus: fucking bad ass song! trippy | Reviewer: spud | 4/6/09 the song imo is about someone dosing too much and going out of his head. he ends up in a hospital trying to explain the whole thing like it really happened. you have to take the previous track into consideration and it makes alot more sense Chosen One | Reviewer: A Fool | 3/19/09 Everyone overlooks the part about being the Chosen One. For those who have transcended to a certain spiritual sphere, you will understand what it is like to have a group of beings or a singular intelligent being (not of this world) tell you that you are the chosen one, the one who will deliver a message. It is a test of ones ego to see if one possesses the strength of will to laugh and say, "who the fuck am I?" If you do, it's on to the next experience that will determine whether you are going to head along on that endless journey, or become stagnant and comfortable and secure in a safety blanket of self pleasure. Just. Fuckin. laugh. At. Yourself. And. Never. Stop!
