You're the only one who can hold your head up high, Shake your fist at the gates saying I have come home now, Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father, Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended! It's time now! My time now! Give me my, give me my, wings!!! It hits me deep because, like Maynard, I'm a nonbeliever but my dad deserves his wings the moment he passes.

One of the keys to moving through is to understand the fragile child we all have within us, that traumatized child who tries to protect itself from being hurt again. This is where we find ourselves triggered emotionally, like a tone rising up and causing us to react to whatever it is that's re-creating those fears from long ago. People layer themselves with protection in order to keep that inner child safe, but in the process, all kinds of negative behaviours can come through, like violence, verbal abuse, running away, etc., etc. Really, we're all just trying to find love and be accepted so we can feel safe and secure. Knowing we have this fragile inner child, being aware when it starts to try to control our "true" selves, is the key to healing and being able to function as an adult. Tool is amazing and they've helped me see my shadow, as well as that little abandoned boy. All music is a form of healing in some way and protection as well. Great reactions! Peace.

The goal of integrating the shadow is to realize you are the cause of all of your suffering. Your shadow is evil, and you must accept it, or you will push the evil onto others. Before you can be good, you must know the evil you are capable of.

@@kristinadk as a thought exercise I've imagined a torture scenario to surpass anything I've ever heard of. It was fueled by anger but, driven by reason. The result is something I've told very few people because, as is increasingly apparent, one must be very careful with whom we share. Regardless, it's always been shocking and horrifying and, comes with the same admonishment "you would never do that, would you." To which I first point out the obvious, I don't have the skills necessary to attempt such a thing and, secondly I can't imagine devoting the years required to carry it out. And after many years of contemplation, I've come the conclusion that true evil is more than a random act of violence or, even a deliberate act of violence. It is a very calculated and patient action designed for maximum suffering. The suffering can include death but, death can never be the goal because death is inevitable and how can the dead continue to suffer? We must be weary that in our efforts to prolong life, we don't unwittingly enable suffering. Right to die comes to mind. The debate seems never ending yet, I've known few who said they would gladly live as a vegetable on life support with the hope of medicine someday being able to heal them.

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." ~Joseph Campbell To integrate the darker parts of yourself, your shadow, you have to get super honest, and be willing to feel all the feels you're too afraid to experience because they're overwhelming.

This is one of the main reasons rock is one of my favorite genres. Just all the obscure messages that you have to really take the time to think about. Knowing that some of my favorite bands can speak to the way I'm feeling or put words to it in the way I can't articulate makes me feel seen and appreciated. I love most genres but rock, for the most part, makes me go "yes, that's it! That's what I'm trying to say. And you feel, hear, see, think it too."

If you can ever go to a tool concert, do it!!! I went to one about 15 years ago, and I can still remember how it made me feel. The whole stage is dark. The whole arena is dark except for giant screens that play all those trippy images that you see if their videos and album covers. Hearing the music live is incredible!!

As another discovers Tool, another angel screams to life

[@johnfoose6880]

You are 100% correct. I've known this song for yearsss and never really took the time to understand the real meaning behind it just enjoyed the song. You're a very intelligent person and your breakdowns of any type of music is great

[@rossac93]

Dude you really break things down, this is what reaction channels should be like! Good stuff man!

[@Foxxy_420]

Never clicked so fast in my life! Stevie on Tool?! 😁 💜💜💜

[@LookMissViva]

Thank you so much for finally doing this reaction, I’ve been waiting awhile for it. Doing shadow work is a very difficult thing to do but the best feeling is when you have cleared out and released your trauma wounds and also inner child hood trauma that you don’t even know was still affecting you in your subconscious mind. We unfortunately tend to hold on to all those energies that our ego self used at those times in order to protect us. Our body then stores it in our subconscious mind so if we are in a similar situation we know how to handle it, those energies start to project and run our life this is where Fear,doubt, lack of confidence, needing love, acceptance, validation from others in our society in order to feel happiness and joy and our perception of self worth. The fact is that all of those things can only be achieved within ourselves from ourselves. So what we say, think, and feel for others is exactly how we feel about ourselves and any judgments, negative feelings or assumptions we place on another is what we place on ourselves, because we are all one within this universe. As above so below, the light and the dark we can’t operate in life without our shadow but we can transmute that dark shadow energy into the light and loving energy for true happiness and peace within ourselves. ❤️☀️

Tool is one of my favorite bands! This was dope

[@battoosh]

First Metallica then Tool? Damn dude, I already liked your channel and your selections, but now I'm committed lol I truly think you'd like metal as a genre once you break the ice, it's very lyrical (the good one obviously), and I can tell the ice is starting to crack! Want some cool Bad-ass sound and Bad-ass lyrics hit Pantera my guy, maybe start with Walk or even Cemetery Gates!

Homie watching experience this song gave me goosebumps. The way you dove in...

[@mikestory2891]

Dude, i loved listening to you using your mind and traveling through this 20 minute journey with you. "My Shadow"

[@jmack4275]

I just gotta say that if you're gonna go down the tool rabbit hole, be ready and be strapped in. Because the ride ahead will most likely change your view on music forever

[@ThisWeirdWorldVids]

not just music.

[@3232jrob]

Tool is the best band ever formed Best drummer.... two of the best guitarist ever and the best lead singer ever..... absolutely amazing band

[@3232jrob]

@Juicey Kisses Adam Jones? Uhhhh 👌

[@jonsaylor756]

You started out perfectly...Headphones and lyric video. A must for first time hearing all of Tool's songs.

[@egdeekim8670]

Been a long time Tool fan, but never dived too deep into the lyrics. This is my fav song of theirs and I knew it was super deep...but in my laziness I just didn't take the time to do the diligent thing and really get into it. Between your video and a few other very recent events/conversations in my life, it looks like it's time to take the dive. Thank you for this video and I'm glad I came across your channel. Was the Master of Puppets video that got me here as I was just going through Stranger Things videos and your video showed up in the mix.

[@Shadare]

There is not a single song by this band that can't teach you something if you look hard enough

[@scottmatznick3140]

Even the hidden tracks? I'm mostly not being snarky, what do you think?

Thanks for actually taking the time to research and understanding the lyrics, that's way more than any other reactors have done, dope reaction

[@THEbenagain]

I see Tool and I watch. Great reaction and great job using the lyric vid. can't wait to see more!

[@veRGe02]

MORE TOOL! Let's fucking go. There are no bands like Tool. The whole catalogue, every song, is excellent. Also check out System of a Down. Serj has some bars too (and awesome harmonies).

[@bobbydelamar606]

The Tool army is here!!! 🤟🏻

[@godfroi10991]

YO, don't stress bro. You totally got it. Welcome to Tool man, the more U listen to them, the more you'll love it.

[@candirenee74]

Life long metal head here: Tool was above my pay grade. My ex introduced them to me.::I just enjoyed the music never really diving into the lyrics. My ex was always high so that may explain some, but not all. I actually went to their concert in Cincinnati. I got kicked out for complaining ppl smoking weed behind me (I’m allergic to weed go figure). But was cool while there. Lead singer try’s to not be a Lead singer, but use his voice as part as the instruments… you are still the BEST on breaking it down. Grew up with rock and rap so you are my go to channel!!!!!

[@chazstone6744]

To answer your question regarding whether the Tool Army know what he's talking about, the answer is yes. We're an odd kind hardcore nerd.

[@thisisisabella3634]

I'm betting that Stevie would really like a lot of stuff off The Fragile. Both lyrically and musically.

[@herbalwisdom8609]

Excellent job man, you’re on it. I can tell the deepness intrigues you and the music finishes it
