Definitely one of their masterworks. It goes way deeper than you might think....It's heavily influenced by a mathematical sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci Number Sequence. The sequence goes as follows... 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Interestingly, this can also be plotted out graphically, as a spiral...and not just ANY spiral...but a very specific one, which can be found literally everywhere in nature...for example, the curl in a chameleon's tail, the seed pattern in the middle of a sunflower (and many other plants follow this spiral as well) , to the way hurricanes are shaped, allll the way up to the Spiral Arms of our Milky Way Galaxy. You called the opening verse, Maynard is describing the beginning of life, and the process of gaining vision, at fist everything is black, then you are born and slowly contrast becomes necessary to discern, so whites come into play, more like light vs dark...and then once our light receptors (Rods) are formed in the retina, Cones begin to develop, and the first 'colors' we see are in the longer wavelength of light, and so reds and yellows. BUT, check this out Black (1) Then (1) White are (2) All I see (3) In my Infancy (5) Red and yellow then came to be (8) Reaching out to me (5) Let's me see (3) (its an ascending and desceding Fibonacci number sequence going by syllables, also, just like a spiral, growing larger, then shrinking) and again with the bridge As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13) Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8) Push the envelope, (5) watch it bend (3) This song also has three general time signatures within the 'main chorus' section, one in 9, then in 8 and then in 7....987 is one of the numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. In the end, this song attempts (and succeeds) in highlighting the interconnectedness of all and everything, as below, so above. From the twist in our double helix DNA to the very shape and form of our galaxy, the pattern runs through it all. After making this point, he urges us to embrace our humanity, To feel inspired , To fathom the power, To witness the beauty, To bathe in the fountain...to live life as a human, but still be aware of our oneness with the entirety of reality, our Divinity. The song ends with a strong and clear message to open yourself up to the universe, and to enjoy the ride while we are here. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been Spiral out, keep going :0) If i missed anything folks can leave a comment reply...but i think i got the basics covered. Again....its truly a friggin masterpiece of art, thought, music and humanity. THIS is why Tool is the best band on earth :0d imho.

what a classic religious tool fan. They're good but they seem limited in their creativity. As in... it's like they're painting pictures with the same 3 colours all the time. I need more melodic variation personally. I get the appeal with the hypnotic rhythms and long songs though - I was a massive fan a decade ago. The breakdown in the middle of this song is peak tool.

In my humble opinion.....given how it was written (in reference to the fibonacci sequence), matching mathematical rhythms, poly rythms, time signatures, instrumentation and then lyrics.....quite feasibly one of the greatest songs ever written. That song would be PHENOMENAL with no lyrics at all, and the lyrics could stand alone as AMAZING poetry. Gonna be sad to see these guys go.....because there will NEVER be another band like tool. So unique. Just splendid.

MrShabbyTiger ... it’s also a reference to the spiritual beliefs of the aboriginals, and their “dream walking” beliefs and cosmology, black and white then red and yellow are very important to their beliefs of the creation of the universe. This is taken from a webpage talking about the significance of the colors in their artwork: Sacred Colours The sacred Aboriginal colours, said to be given to the Aborigines during the Dreamtime, are Black, Red, Yellow and White. Black represents the earth, marking the campfires of the dreamtime ancestors. Red represents fire, energy and blood - 'Djang', a power found in places of importance to the Aborigines. Yellow represents water, and the markings on the back of the great snake ancestor (see our last blog on the Rainbow Serpent Myths). White represents the sky and stars, which are filled with the Aborigines ancestors who returned to the sky after creating the earth. This is taken from www.aboriginalartuk.com/post/2017/11/21/aboriginal-culture-scared-colours ... which also has great examples of the aboriginal artwork which specifically uses those four colors. Check it out!

Man, this album dude! It came out when I was like14, which is an impressionable enough age in itself, but I was also just getting into heavy metal (starting with rage against the machine a year and a half prior) and had started learning to play guitar a few months before it came out. The Lateralus tour a year later was my second concert ever and the first one I paid money to see... my dad insisted I needed a chaperone so he bought a ticket as well despite never hearing their music before, and called it one of the best live shows he’d ever seen (out of dozens if not over a hundred). All of that left a pretty big impression on me, but not as much as 3 years ago when I was in midst of a manic episode (bipolar, quit taking meds) and become reasonably convinced that the album contained the meaning of life, infinite knowledge, the secrets of the universe, etc. There were a lot of synchronicities and while I’m no longer in that moderately delusional mindset, it’s still a sort of bible for me. Really does “make you use your brain” I definitely agree on that one, man. Great reaction. 👍

It's kind of understood that Lost Keys ALWAYS goes with Rosetta Stoned.. But I certainly agree, lyrics are mandatory.. He'll get lost without them. On that note; SPIRAL OUT !!!

Here's a little tid-bit. The song is 9 minutes and 24 seconds long. That makes the mid-point of the song fall at 4 minutes 42 seconds. The lyric that falls exactly on that mid-point is "Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come." So that lyric is the passage between the first half of the song (our present situation and short-comings) and the second half of the song (our potential and the path to enlightenment). To transcend our present state (the first half of the song) and reach our potential (the second half of the song) we must pass through that transition and reach out to embrace the randomness of the universe and embrace whatever may come. These guys are freaking wizards!

Apparently a lot of fans didn’t like that and when an interviewer asked him about it he told them to go listen to his early work bc he didn’t want to be that angry, bitter person anymore. It’s kind of a shift you have to make if you don’t want to die young, or worse become some angry over the hill asshole. Reminds me of something I told my ex bf. We’d had a fcked up relationship fueled by drugs & alcohol. I got pregnant and got my shit together, which included leaving him. He then went into a downward spiral. He ended up with a crazy gf (crazier then I ever was, she literally put him in the hospital with stab wounds) and a heroin addiction. But he was in his 30’s now and I told him he’d either die or become that creepy old dude who we always saw at parties. That guy you’d always think to yourself that you’d rather die then be that guy. 60 years old, living in a room house who got alcohol bc he’d go buy it for the underage kids who’d hook him up for buying it. Fortunately my ex got clean. If you look at artists who don’t try and find peace, who stay the same, they don’t do well. Most of them die young.

I love the transition and progression of Maynard's outlook on life. He went from bitter to angry to philosophical and eventually to beautifully sad mixed with a kind of love and acceptance (10,000 Days). I haven't thoroughly listened to Fear Inoculum yet, so I don't have an opinion of where I think he might be mentally now. I'm happy to hear you got through that part of your life. I had a somewhat similar 5 year relationship. It's like having a giant anxiety filled weight lifted off my back

LiveAction Link most of fear inoculum is about finding your inner youth and strength (invincible), and using it to push forward through hardship and toxicity (descending, fear inoculum) while reminding yourself that we're all human and that's all that matters (pneuma). culling voices and 7empest are separate from that story though

One of the best ways to stop an addiction is seeing yourself turning into "that guy" . That's as real as it gets. You can see it, you can grasp it, it's real.

LiveAction Link I’ve been listening to Fear Inoculum as well and still trying to digest it and see what I think about it. It’s a tricky balance for artists bc great art seems to come from misery and angst. It’s interesting how that works. I often wonder if some maybe subconsciously choose to die when they hit that point where they have to stop and get help or spiral into the depths. Idk it’s tough bc fans can be brutal. I’m also glad Maynard found some modicum of happiness. I feel some of my own life reflected in his. His music has often been the soundtrack to my life, ever since I discovered Tool & APC. I’ve also really enjoyed some of the experimental stuff he did in Pusifer. Like humbling river. I really like that song. Anyways I remember that day I moved into my tiny, mostly unfurnished apt with my baby. I was sad bc I still loved my bf & he was punishing me for leaving him by refusing to talk to me. But when I woke up with my baby girl I felt like a weight had been removed from my shoulders. Ever since I’d given birth my bf had been trying to tempt, cajole, & pressure me into getting fcked up. It was tough for me bc I still had the tendencies but I was breastfeeding & wasn’t willing to risk my baby. It wasn’t overnight but I’ve managed to work through a lot of that lingering desire for drugs. My kid is my life & she’s given me a motivation, a purpose I never had.

I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS -for sure. There are addicts that are revolting and you want to be as far away from what they are as possible. Still I feel like it takes more often. Healthy ppl don’t become addicts. So on some level being able to figure out and deal with what’s causing that need to escape is necessary. Not that I’ve done a great job at that. More like I stuffed it in a box and sealed it away. But I will eventually have to deal with it. I still have that lingering desire and I’ve found that shit can manifest in new and unpleasant ways. My older sister works with experts in brain science and she’s been teaching me a lot. It’s fascinating bc you could almost map out what would happen to me and my sister based on the traumas we suffered as kids. There’s changes to the brain that are devastating to future health & happiness. Knowing what I know now makes me see the world differently and my innate desire to protect children is increased. I now listen to Maynard’s work through various bands and can see how he’s worked through his pain, his trauma. His music seems to mirror his own evolution and that’s very cool. There’s also a book I read called “Chasing The Scream: The First & Last Days Of The Drug War” that really started my understanding of addiction. It’s not just about the insane and fcked up beginnings of the drug war, it’s also touches on the science of addiction. It’s an amazing and infuriating book.

All aboard the magical train ride Tool creates for you my Brother! It takes you on a journey from our own beginnings and escalates in power & volume just like many of our lives do? Maynards ability to be breezy and light or crashing with powerful vocals blended with that amazing accompaniment of hard riffs & drums almost hides that powerful bass line that lurks just under the surface! I love how Tool can slowly build up in a song, then switch to quick & thunderous powerful crashing beats by Danny Carey's drums only to transition again back and forth to smooth & easy grooves! Great pick & reaction once again. Happy New Year & hope it is another successful year for you. Keep up the good work. Wondering when you are going to checkout another phenomenal artist? He is known as "Buckethead" and is in my humble opinion the greatest guitarist on the planet. His material is massive and breathtaking!

Brett Marlar I don’t necessarily disagree with you here, but I wouldn’t limit that to only spiritual. There can be much deeper meanings to these lyrics, including in time, evolution/human development, child like vision and spirituality, etc. There are a LOT of layers to all of their music, including to the developments in the rhythm and everything of their music and some of the member’s views about that.
