10,000 days. 27 years. Very significant with the occult.

[@MrJ3K]

more like religious ideology. those are the number of days that Satan and The Beast will reign over creation until they're thrown into the abyss. A lot of Maynard's lyrics are steeped in Catholic Ideology.

[@tmage23]

The title is a reference to the 30 years Maynard James Keenan's mother lived after suffering a debilitating stroke. While Tool have plenty of occult and esoteric references throughout their material, that isn't one of them.

[@wherepossumsabound]

That's all Tool songs. The Drums and Bass aren't just rhythm that supports guitar riffs and solos. They're front and center as much or more than the guitar. They're one of the greatest rock bands of all time for that very reason.

In my opinion, this the best song to introduce people to Tool with. The catchy riffs and the 4/4 time signature make it more accessible to a wider audience, but it's still got the same complexity as the rest of Tool's discography. It's a pretty straight forward rock song for the most part, but not too straightforward that it's bland or boring.

You look young. These guys popped up in the early/mid90s. I was a sophomore in college and recall someone spinning OPIATE -- before the song "Sober" came out and helped the band become popular. OPIATE is still my favorite of all of their albums and really captures their energy. They definitely evolved and their music became more complex and to me, they are arguably one of the most overall talented bands of all time. The guitar and bass (or vocals) don't get as much credit as deserved because Danny Carey is a fucking ROBOT. The best part? MJK was a stand-up comedian before rising to popularity as a singer. Check out some of the early episodes of MR SHOW (starring Bob Odenkirk and David Cross). =-)

This was actually the first TOOL song I had ever listened to. For a long time, the only genre I really listened to was grunge and hard rock (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, etc.) One day this song was randomly suggested to me on Spotify and I gave it a listen. It took me a while but I was able to adjust to this different sound of music I had never known and I fell in love with it. Now I’ve been listening to TOOL for a good year and have also recently discovered A Perfect Circle and let me just saw Maynard is an absolute genius. The composition and lyrics in his pieces are just so astonishing and surreal. Adam and Justin’s bass and guitar just add an amazing touch to the flow of the song while Danny’s drums just help gain a sort of importance to it while Maynard’s vocals emphasize the overall uncanny lyrics and emotions of each song and help to create a band called TOOL. TOOL has meant so much to me and has helped me with my anxiety and depression and I just wish I knew about them sooner.

I could listen to this song 100 times in a row, and it would bring a tear to my eye every time, without even drinking water.

[@Props028]

I'm glad everyone here has found a home. Let's hope...in the future, finding a home won't be as difficult as watering your crops, with salty tears.

"Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo. Got lemon juice up in your eye." One of my favourite lyrics of all time. Unbelievably powerful and intelligent. It's up there with "Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion." Everything about The Pot is fantastic. The guitar, the drums, percussion, THAT bass, and the incredibly intelligent and profound lyrics that are bitter without coming across as bitter.

[@akeustis]

OK I'll admit, I think I got the gist of the song but this particular line went way over my head. Help?

[@philyates7670]

@@akeustis "Weeping shades of cozened indigo." Cozen means fake and indigo is a dark purple, the colour of bruises. So Maynard is accusing the person of wearing fake injuries. "Got lemon juice up in your eye." The cause of the weeping. But on the other hand by squeezing lemon juice into your eye you'll hurt yourself. So in a nutshell Maynard is telling the person that in wearing fake injuries to appear to be a victim, they will only inflict pain unto themselves when the truth comes out. But in true Maynard style he doesn't just come out with it, he uses this amazing example of descriptive language to convey the same message in an amazingly intelligent way. It fits in with the whole theme of The Pot. Crying Wolf. Lies. Hypocrisy.

@@philyates7670 This always throws me about this song and it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I get the meaning of the lyrics but I can never hear it in the song. EVERYONE says the lyric is Cozened but It sounds to me like he is saying chosen. The word Cozen is supposed to be pronounced like the word Cousin, am I the only one hearing the long O or did he intentionally pronounce it this way for some reason. It's the only thing that bothers me about this song.

The ones who are on his wave length definitely deserve and relate to his compositions.

Everyone's talking about snails, but can we talk about how Maynard is able to sing so high and hold it well while still making it sound grungy and big?

YES FINALLY THE COMMENT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR AND TBH THE SNAIL VIDEO DOESENT EVEN MATCH THE SONG AND IT'S SCARY AND WEIRD

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

I disagree, I didn't like his voice on 10,000 days. It sounds high, strained, and feeble compared to ŒNIMA and Lateralus

[@bksniperguy]

I may be wrong but I think it's at least slightly pitch shifted.

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

@@bksniperguy I don't think that's accurate either. I play the guitar, and I love playing tool songs. They are very consistent with their tuning for the vast majority of their songs. I don't think the pitch was shifted.

[@bassplayer1966]

The bass playing is exceptional, very meticulously executed...

Tool’s musical genius and flawless performance is easier to digest when you accept the fact that sometime in the early 90’s a spacecraft delivered them to us.
