you managed to capture a small part of why diehard Tool fans are always talking about the 'journey' this band takes you... No band even comes close to the genius of TOOL.

[dansdoves]

When listening to Tool I find it almost necessary to have access to written and sometimes translated lyric sheets. Besides Maynard's lyrics often being psychologically deep seeing the words gives you a chance to comprehend weather he is being deceptively sinister or handing you a recipe for chocolate cake with no eggs.I love these guys

[philyates]

"Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion."

A beautiful way of saying pain and hurt is only temporary. One of my favourite Tool lyrics.

[Ananias]

“At some point, if you're lucky, you realize you're not the story. You're part of the story. The story is much bigger than MJK

"Think for yourself, question authority.

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos. it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.

To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself."

Timothy Leary.

About ten years ago I smoked a big bowl and then found a 46&2 lyrics video. I had no idea about the shadow or anything else. I was in my 30's and went to read in Wikipedia. Now my life is very different. I have a happy family and own several businesses. Learning about the shadow and then other things was a personal revolution. I can honestly say Tool completely changed my life and the lives of my family. If there were some way I could repay them I would. I wish I could give them my sincere gratitude. The wonderful life I now live started with them.

finally a tool video
so glad to see it
i missed it so much
so mad its over
i missed it so much

Him saying "Prying open my third eye" always made me feel like his journey was violent and artificial, not a natural development but a forced one

[dious]

Damn, Jung, Peterson and now Tool? I don't remember what brought me here, but I stayed for the differently wired podcast. It was well worth it, but now your channel starts to be one of my favourites. Great job, man, cheers!

Maynard: people put too much focus on lyrics, I don't want that to happen with me.
Also Maynard:

Finally someone who gets it, I listened to this album for three years and didn't know what they were about and then I dropped acid and instantly made the connection between their music and spiritual enlightenment. Just glad that someone else understands.

[macgarnicle]

It's worth pointing out that (as you noted) the song has two voices in it. In the official lyrics, one voice (the inner id to which the outer ego speaks) is always in quotation marks. In the earlier live performances, Maynard would use two microphones for this song - one in each hand, one for each voice.

[superamishguy]

Love how you're touching upon a bunch of their songs, well done as always

[tungtobak]

But before I adress that song it would be benificial that we all ingest the 5 dried grams I have taped under all your chairs.

[GalenTheWizard]

I still remember when I watched your 46 & 2 Video left such an impression on me, that I knew I had to start listening to TOOL. And I'm glad I did!

[neuroinsect]

Maynard's knowledge of combined alchemy and yoga (combined with the spiritual implications there of) is as astounding as his ability to so poetically explain them.

[post-leftluddite]

Ænema is my absolute favorite tool album...can still remember the first day I heard it all the way back in 2001....H., Pushit, Thirdeye....the best songs....for them to go from Undertow (another amazing album) to Aenema is such a fundamental evolution for a band....they must of have tapped into some serious shit between those albums

[pileofsand]

That is really genuine, to not talk about a topic where has been talked about extensively. Other Youtubers would only cover something if it is trendy, while you try to thread new grounds.

[SkywalkerSamadhi]

I have always absolutely loved the line 'Prying open my Third Eye'.
It sums up everything great about Tool as a whole. This idea of opening your Third Eye.. your higher self and connection to the spiritual world. But instead of meditation or some sort of passive method it's a brutal, almost violent act. Forcing your way into the world of spirit. Cutting into the flesh to reveal the spirit underneath. Prying open the Third Eye and not accepting anything but unfettered and absolute success in reaching the next level.
I fucking love Tool!!!

[zaclovesschool]
