Discover the story of the song > Third Eye – TOOL

The song talks about the protagonist's experience with drugs and how it led him to the realization that everything is connected, and life may just be a dream. He has a vision of a comforting face with three eyes and feels like he's coming out of a hole. He then sees a crow and tries to reassemble the pieces of his past to understand who he is. The chorus repeats the phrase "so good to see you" as the protagonist reconnects with someone he thought was gone. The song ends with the protagonist prying open his third eye, a metaphor for gaining a higher level of understanding.
