About This Track

The fourth track from Fear Inoculum arrives thirteen years after Tool's previous album, with all but one member of the band in their fifties by the time of release. The song addresses that passage directly, adopting the voice of a warrior whose armour is wearing thin, who struggles to remain consequential. Maynard James Keenan invokes Ponce de León's phantom soul, the mythical fountains of youth pursued in vain whilst time bears down. The lyric moves between defiant pride in past victories and the recognition that relevance must now be fought for rather than assumed. The band debuted the track live at Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville in May 2019, several months before the album's arrival. At over twelve minutes, it sustains a single meditation on ageing and creative endurance, the repetition itself enacting the struggle it describes.

"Invincible" is a track by TOOL, from the album Fear Inoculum, released 2nd February 2020. The track is 12:44 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about TOOL.

Lyrics

Invincible

Long in tooth and soul
Longing for another win

Lurch into the fray
Weapon out and belly in

Warrior
Strugglin'
To remain
Consequential
Bellow out loud
Bold and proud
Of where I've been

But here I am

Beating chest and drums
Beating tired bones again

Age-old battle, mine
Weapon out and belly in

Tales told of battles won
Of things we've done
Caligula would grin

Beating tired bones
Tripping through remember when

Once invincible
Now the armor's wearing thin
Heavy shield down

Warrior
Strugglin'
To remain
Relevant
Warrior
Strugglin'
To remain
Consequential
Cry aloud, bold and proud
O' where I've been
But here I am
Where I end

Warrior
Strugglin'
To remain
Relevant
Warrior
Strugglin'
To remain
Consequential

Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom soul
Filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains
False hope, perhaps
But the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down

Tears in my eyes chasing Ponce de Leon's phantom soul
Filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains
False hope, perhaps
But the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down

False hope perhaps
But the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time bearing down

Bearing down
