About This Track

“Rosetta Stoned” is a play on the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian tablet that formed the basis of modern hieroglyphic translation. The theme of the song is centered around the main character who, while under the influence of MDMA, the psychedelic drug DMT, and/or psychedelic peyote cactus buttons is abducted by extra-dimensional aliens. The aliens give the man a message for all of mankind but he is unable to remember or understand his experience.

Best when listened to after Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)

    I'm pretty sure Tool made this song exactly 11:11 minutes for a reason.

    The outro riff at 10:30 is one of the most awesome ones I've heard, it's just such a great ending

    this song makes me laugh. Some other wordly being comes to this high school drop out stoner to explain the deep meanings of the universe -- but he forgot his pen. And can't remember anything they said. It's just so good.

    This song never gets old. Epic is the only way to describe it.

    Does anybody understand those mind fucking lyrics? Guess concerning the lyrics Tool have never ever written a more complex song. Oh Fuck, I LOVE that bass slaping part with the guitar tube and the toms. It's so fuking awesome!
