Faaip de Oiad Lyrics
Um, OK, I'm a former employee of Area 51.
I, I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and
[chokes] I've kind of been running across the country.
Damn, I don't know where to start, they're,
They're gonna, um, they'll triangulate on this position really soon.
What we're thinking of as, as aliens,
They're extradimensional beings,
That, an earlier precursor of the, um, space program they made contact with.
They are not what they claim to be.
Uh, they've infiltrated a, a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment,
Particularly the Area 51.
I'm sorry, the government knows about them.
And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving
The population to now. They are not!
They want those major population centers wiped out so that the few
That are left will be more easily controllable."
Lateralus more than cemented my philosophy and spiritual beliefs. The end track, even though it’s dramatic, let me know that others were thinking along the same lines. (Go Maynard!). I’m also glad that it was TOOL that brought this out. Let me try to explain how I think this all tied together<p>
For some, this album can be an overload. It should be. The end track brings into focus what Schismwas warning against, the peril we face if we don’t start communicating (take that as you read it). (Very reflexive of the Tower of Babel story, where ‘god(s)’ split us up and created new ‘tongues’ and we lost (took) our global tongue / and our ability to communicate) (See Timothy Leary’s ‘How to program your Mind’) Time is truly running out. But, Parabola sewed in the beginnings of how that energy can be turned inward, heal the self first, rebirth is not some hokey Christian ceremonial dunking, but a process, then ‘spiral out’ later, as was mentioned in ‘Lateralus.’ It would be tough to explain how the end track ties the album together, but it does make complete sense if you actively participate in this inner world and work towards global peace. There are ‘forces’ working against that peace, those mems of control are everywhere.<p>
Yeah, I was actually writing a paper on the exact same subject(s). I know of others that love the album and it related to what we, as free thinkers, practiced and believed. It’s funny because I thought to myself, now if they had only mentioned the ‘alien/reptoid’ factor; it would have been extra icing. I about did cart wheels when this track played. It verified some of the things I had been seeing as a remote viewer and a student of the Occult. Once again, go TOOL for challenging others to think about these things, most people consider ‘junk’ or ‘new age B. S.’. If you think this was just an album, tell that to Maynard. I’m sure he’d say otherwise. But if you liked it, I did too. The end track was the ‘end game’ that made the album perfect for me. May the hairless apes win.
Thinking about it, maybe the last thing Maynard wants is followers...

Indeeeeeeeeed SIR. Tool's purpose with this album was definitely to gather followers. But more importantly, to make everyone as conscious of themselves (mind, body, spirit), the impending doom that the Earth will see within a couple of years, and the ways to spiral out of this illusion of safety and pain we currently live in. Have you ever been stuck somewhere or in a situation where you wanted out? Out of this miserable sensory-perception GAME we call life? This album provides Square One for everybody...look around, look within, analyze, heal, spiral out, and leave. Like Tim Leary's old saying- (literally)...

Maynard subtly gives information and instructions to listeners on how to become aware of and activate the inner "light body". This was intelligently glimpsed at on the last (and best) track from Aenima, "Third Eye". It structurally follows most of Lateralus' musical style and its purpose was to make listeners more conscious by through audio samples, lyrics, and intelligently played progressive rock!
Also, traditionally, the process of consciously leaving one's body is done after the consciously activating your light body part. This entire process can be explicitly and BEAUTIFULLY depicted towards the end of the "Parabol/Parabola" video. This ancient rite was and still is integral to most (Eastern) societies, in that it provides the individual with profound psychic abilities and insight into the spirit world and altered states of consciousness. Most mystical religions believe it is the grand purpose of a human to learn to consciously leave one's body and explore multiple realms and dimensions, including their own inner ones. THIS is Maynard's grand purpose in Lateralus.
Of course, Tool is never that simple...they want you to ultimately see the BIG PICTURE. Therefore, Lateralus is accentuated by other bits of subtle, conscious information for the listener.
"The Grudge" can be heard as aurally and lyrically describing both humanity and society's cold, calculating, and ultimately prejudiced ways of operating.
"Ticks and Leeches" similarly describes humanity, and by extension, one's own Ego (Body). Selfish, mooching, and always looking to be fulfilled and glamorized, the Ego gives an illusion of fulfillment while sending the conscious mind down a spiral of self-destruction (the opposite of activating your "light body"). This is what you wanted? Cuz this is what you're getting.
"Faaip De Oaid" is interesting in that it alludes to the current circulating theory that an up-and-coming, governmental science experiment (to be ominously initiated by 2012) called "Finding The God Particle" will not only yield the discovery of this sub-atomic particle, BUT will accidentally (?) create a portal/wormhole/gateway to another dimension, releasing humanity's worst fears in the form of hellish creatures on Earth (think Stephen King's The Mist) and fulfill countless prophecies of apocalypse. "The Children Of The Light", highly conscious and good-willed individuals (true religious people, mystics, acidheads, potheads, Tool followers, etc.) will know of this, come together, and simultaneously ascend from the human body/race and Earth - fulfilling many other prophecies and creating a true reality/paradise within the astral dimensions.

EVERYONE! (TAKE 2 HITS OF LSD AND) SEEK THE ANSWERS. My rambling up there comes no where near the true intuitive knowledge you can gain by SEEKING THE ANSWERS. There are so many theories, prophecies, and happenings out there to become conscious of...once you have you can't help but put the pieces together and realize what WILL happen to the human race by 2012. The Pieces all fit.
ALSO.....listening to this album in this sequential order without breaks (might need a program to make it one flowing album) is how I believe Maynard wanted Lateralus to be heard....a true personal journey as opposed to an intelligently put together album.

I have extensively searched the internet and finally came across someone who put true logic and mathematics together (using the Fibonacci Sequence featured in "Lateralus" over the whole album) and deciphered the true, AURAL, order of this album.

Umm just thought Id say Ive been on the Art Bell site, checked out their archives and found that theres no mention of the guy calling back a few days later to say it was all a hoax...
In fact it just says that it really distressed Art a lot that someone could shut down the signal and interestingly it was before the call had ended, and has never happened before or after this incident. Meaning that realistically it HAS to be related and possibly caused by someone... spooky...
In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised that the government would themselves call back later to say "I did it! It was a hoax" and con everyone into believing it wasn't real... or maybe it WAS a hoax. Who knows. The point is, no matter what they say, keep an open mind about everything, and I think Tool would agree.

Man, oh man. Just wanted to share my terrifying experience first listening to this song...
When I first got into Lateralus, I read about the alternate track-list (the article author called it "The Holy Gift"), that turns the album into a musical spiral. He referred to a book called "Nothing in This Book is True But It's Exactly The Way Things Are" by Bill Frissell in his discussions of sacred geometry.
So, I got the book, and was home alone at night (of course), listening to Lateralus, and was reading up on this alternate history of the planet, and its inhabitants... and got to a chapter discussing the existence of "alien" life forms on this planet, that dwell on the frequencies of other dimensions, and for all we can perceive, might be standing in the same room as us at whatever moment. Of course just as I am reading through this paragraph, "Faaip De Oiad" is playing, and of course, the line "extra-dimensional beings" rings through my head.
Needless to say, I freaked. Since I'm an avid synchronicity-seeker, well, let's just say... I don't believe in coicidence ;-)
Right on, man.
Right on, man.
I've just received this email from an avid listener of C2C at the time of the broadcast, on their request I will keep their identity anonymous ***
"Greetings "Frog"!
I want to take this opportunity to write and clarify some apparent confusions regarding that now "classic" 1997 broadcast and it's aftermath.
I used to be a AVID listener(EVERY NIGHT) before I subscribed to "Streamlink",so was able to catch the initial broadcast AND ALL the subsequent follow-ups too. THIS is what REALLY happened: 1.The caller made that initial call(heard here)which was actually AUDIOTAPED and played SOME years later by Art on the air AT LEAST ONCE. It was only the BROADCAST that was mysteriously interrupted. Art spoke with the caller for MORE than is heard HERE, before he was alerted by the producer that the actual BROADCAST wasn't being received. The COMPLETE conversation I clearly remember listening to some time later. I will discuss THAT a bit later. It was during that initial conversation that Art says the word "discharged". Art was at that time STILL speaking to the caller and was questioning him ABOUT that discharge, evidently expressing DOUBT as to the veracity of the caller's claims and wanting to accentuate this to his LISTENERS, hence Art's PRONOUNCED accent on that particular word just before the broadcast cut off.
-
About a week later, the caller RETURNED, now claiming it was all a HOAX, at which point Art sounded quite RELIEVED.
-
About two years AFTER that initial call, the caller AGAIN returned, now claiming(in great detail)that he had been kidnapped, brainwashed and essentially been made to claim it was all a hoax,by secret agencies inside the govt. As you would imagine, this totally FREAKED Art(and most of the callers that night).
4.At some point afterward(memory fails me on exactly WHEN)someone CLAIMING to be that caller AGAIN came on the phone with Art, and began a hysterical rant. Art(and most of his listeners)recognised that this caller DIDN'T sound like the same person, and Art-after exchanging a few words with him-promptly HUNG UP.
It was revealed in the audiotape of that complete first call that the responsibility of the "Aliens" entry into our world/dimension rested squarely within the US govt. itself. The caller claimed that secret factions within our military were conducting tests(based on work that had begun with German scientists during WWII)and it was during these "tests" that a portal was opened, allowing their entry. The caller insinuated that communications were made with the "Aliens" for some time PRIOR to their actual ENTRY into OUR dimension, at that PRIOR to their entry,the US govt. was led to believe that the They were NOT a possible threat to national security.
Since these (rightly)classic shows, several factors have come to my attention to make ME believe the caller was GENUINE, not a sham. At least one qualified expert on voice-stress analysis did a reading on that initial call, and declared publicly that he found NOTHING that led him to believe that the caller was making up ANY part of it. Another factor was the caller's description of those "extra dimensions" in terms that neatly fall into place with what are now called "parallel universes" or the "String Theory", which of course at the time of that broadcast(1997)the general public knew almost NOTHING about. Still ANOTHER reason I believe it's NOT a hoax is the fact that Art Bell has publicly declared he DIDN'T play any part whatsover in it, other than what was heard on-air those nights over that two year period. Art certainly has his faults(I'm NO fan of his "child bride" marriage...especially SO SOON after Ramona's demise)but I sincerely believe in his PROFESSIONAL integrity, and I think most of his listening audience DO TOO!
Warm regards,
PS In regard to later allegations that it was TOM GREEN who was the mystery caller, I would bet the farm that if he made ANY of the calls it was only the FOURTH:where Art and most callers DIDN'T BUY IT, and Art promptly HUNG UP on the guy!"
Yeah I remember the first time I heard the tape on an italian UFO site I was impressed and seriously stung by the sound of it. But by now I I'm not sure about the genuinity, after thinking about it a longer time I'm not saying that maybe in fact there is an argument to support the genuinity of the caller's claims but as for now, looking at the transcription of the call I felt that it too much sounded like he was making it up as he went, for example I found it strange how he talked about the...

Anyway maybe he was lying but it still could be true that all this is going on anyway. It's just different layers of truth so for example he didn't lie but in fact was being played disinformation. Or he was simply lying outright. And yet this does nothing to tell wether what he said can be ignored. Anyway what's especially cool is that the satellite lost earth lock and the he maybe actually called thrice only to tell us he wasn't telling the truth when he said he weren't telling the truth xD
Please tell us about the remainder of the call, I still need to make up my mind on this on (we always have to)
Jesus, I bought this album yesterday and decided to listen to it the whole way through before i went to bed.
the rest of the album passed and i sat, fascinated by the qualuty of the musicianship, then, however this track came on.
as i lay there on my bed, in the dark, at 1 o clock in the morning i swear i nearly shat myself! Not only are the lyrics fuckin freaky but the musical accompaniment only serves to amplify the terror i was feeling!
Don't ever listen to this before going to sleep as it will give u nightmares- no doubt about it!
Hahaha i did pretty much the same thing, being to lazy to get up and change the disk after triad and then BAM freaked out, i also seem to link this to Roseta Stoned in the similarities of the extraterrestial beings, although thats about LSD trips.

Great! Now listen to Die Eier Von Satan. That one's a kicker too!

The voice-over on this song actually came from a September 12th, 1997 call to the Art Bell radio show, which broadcasts out of Nevada and entertains the notions all sorts of extraterrestrial and conspiracy theorists. It was quite a controversial call, as the station suddenly lost its signal for about two minutes during the call. Alas, the "disoriented" gentleman heard on the song called the show back a few days later to confirm that he had pulled off a delicious hoax. His words are still quite frightening in the context of Faiip de Oiad, though, don't you think?
From my research, the best meaning I can extract for "Faiip de Oiad" is that it is Enochian for "Voice of God." An interesting (and fitting) ending to an absolute masterpiece of an album.

ok so one time i was in my algebra class and I wasn't feeling good and my head was throbbing, so I went to rest my head on my desk and as soon as I hit the desk, I bounced out of my body and I soared up to the top of the classroom. I remember hearing white noise and seeing everybody, but no one had faces. It was like their faces was just skin or covered in something. really creepy. I later found out that I had a blood clot in my brain, which eventually dissolved(how does this happen? someone explain), and I had actually died. So I bought this cd and listened to it, and while Disposition was playing I kept thinking of how good life is. Reflection got me building up tension in my body, and Triad released it all and completed my feeling. Now it was all very subtle, only thinking about it I remember feeling this way because I was listening to the album real quietly to try and wind down to go to sleep. This song(I'm not even going to write its name) came on and I heard the same white noise in my out-of-body experience. I began to listen to the caller on the track, and what he was saying tied in with my thoughts of 'life is precious' and my experience with death.
Very interesting how this album can take on such meanings and encompasses the fragile and yet harmonious balance of the experiences of living and dying life and death. In a very basic way the way is to experience it with fascination and with a renewed sense of wonder as the darkness of our minds can sometimes overshadow what is great about our journey, as we journey towards the light there is always a force which pulls us downward so we must create, we must become inspired we must do good and search out souls and reach for a deeper...

Reminds me of the Area 51 call way back on 9/11/1997
Because it is.
Because it is.
So, It was sampled on this song. It's f*cking freaky when you listen to it in the dark and suddenly wake up after the song ends.

"voice of God"
"voice of God"
dmadone, that's amazing!!!
ive done similar things with a perfect circle's "mer de noms", kind of taking it apart and finding new ways to put it back together... awesome
