It uses a lot of symbolism, like the rectangular prisms represented TVs and the flea/bug-thing you see flying around represents how we feed off of other peoples' lives. The part where the flea-thing feeds off of the being in the video and then sprouts an eye is a representation of how watching so much of other peoples lives blinds our Third Eye or Inner Eye(a.k.a The Seventh Chakra in Hinduism). And the snake things that came out of the being's eyes seemed to represent the soul and the balance of good & evil(hence having two, each a different color), when they left the body you see that it's eyes roll back into it's head, which means that we can not live without a soul or we are just an empty husk. Also, if you look at the thing up in the sky (which reminds me of an eclipse) you can see latter on that it is part of the eye that is looking out from the planet, which represents that the entire video was someone looking into their own mind. Plus, the band members are usually stoned or high on shrooms or something and their guitarist directs all their videos. But really it's very artistically motivated, like all their work. Thats the thing I love about Tool, they use both musical and visual arts in their work. Like if you ever go to any of their concerts you'll see that the lights on the stage are behind them so you can only see their silhouettes against the backdrops of these incredibly cool videos made specifically for their shows, and the laser lights are amazing!!!! Check these concert pictures out, you'll see what I mean: 207.7.138.58/images/news/portshow.jpg207.7.138.58/images/news/tool%20tour.JPG
