2:41-2:53 bass riff, and 3:56 on. Give me the maddest goose bumps! Tool is........awesome. And yes this song is about his mother Judith, and o me it was pretty obvious!!!
@byrongirl73 - that is quite the theory there. although not in any way correct. the song is the spiritual successor to "Prison Sex." A song that describes his own recognition of child abuse. This song is about Maynard's own "closure", if you will, of said abuse.
James (Jimmy) was 11 is when his mother Judith Marie suffered a paralyzing cerebral aneurysm. She suffered for 27 years, approximately 10,000 days, thus the song names 10,000 Days and Wings for Marie. His mother is deeply embedded in his music and a driving force in the pain that comes across in much of his music. As they say, from great pain comes great art. Maynard is a prime example. "What was is like to see the face of your own stability suddenly look away... 11 and she was gone."
@byronicgirl73 thank you for that insider information! I don't think anyone hear would have ever come to that conclusion by ourselves. You are truly an insightful person!
@chaoss610 It's not insight; it's minimal research. And you're spot on: nobody could have come up with it on their own. They would have to be clairvoyant or a close friend of the Keenan family to figure it out. I'm just interested enough in the lyrics to take ten minutes to Google it. Obviously other people are interested in what the lyrics mean (see below), coming to their rather amusing conclusions. I merely saved them ten minutes.
@byronicgirl73 i actually found out when i saw the movie "Blood into wine" which had james in it talking about his story of how he went from a rock star to a wine maker and one part of the movie when he talks about a wine he named after her he talks a little about her story and and you can see the pain in his eyes when he talks about it
@byronicgirl73 James (Jimmy) Smith Jr., is 11 years old when his mother is a drunken slob and she gives him drugs such as valium. He gets sick of this so he writes music and complains about his mother for 27 years, approximately 10,000 days, thus this song and the movie 8 Mile.
@nikeatnight December 21st of what year?? (If that's not too personal of a question.) Based on your birthdate, If your life path number is 11 (which happens to be mine ---> 8-21-1989 reduces to 11) , this song is YOUR FUCKING SONG MAN!!! As far as I'm concerned, if all these things sync up, your destiny is one of the most important ones!
@SteveT1989 dec 21st 1993, i love this song so much, well all the songs, watch ima be the last one alive if this shit goes down, lmao its amazing how they say the world is gonna say dec 21st 2012
No Offense but lapingapatoelmundo if you just take life as it is then you shouldn't listen to TOOL there a deep band immersed in things you couldn't comprehend. I myself being an artist am a huge fan and a direct quote from Maynard is Most of are fans are artist. Go to tool FAG.com and the band even says there take everything with a grain of salt almost none of TOOLs lyrics are skin deep. Very few are and they are on Opiate and Undertow which both are produced by someone different than(Aenima)
11 is a powerful number. i am inclined to consider it God's number. one and one are 11. one person and another, together, making up God. 11. maynard is looking and waiting for his other 1, to make his 11. who that other 1 is, im not sure, youd have to ask maynard. id be willing to guess its the next messiah
@samplata Like I said try getting anyone to deeply describe finding true will who practice the Arts of Thelema which is based on the teachings of Alister Crowley. Now I don't think it's a coincidence that Danny Carrie owns and don't quote me every Alister Crowley publication.They are very rare and expensive for obvious reasons. Finding true will from what I have studied is getting in touch with ones guardian angel and even I would be ignorant to delve into that topic.That is true will
@88N3RO88 I beleive and I know for a fact many of TOOLs' songs have multiple meanings. For example 4 degrees, Lateralus, Jambi and Eulogy/
"Jump down.Get off your fucking cross.We need the fucking space,to nail the next fool martyr." not what you think this song is about L.Ron Hubord Not the obvious so yes 10,000 days is the length of time of the beginning and end of his mothers stroke. Also look up what going home refers to in the left path of life in all music.Take TOOL as u see fit
Until we create something out of nothing we must be aware that there is a higher power out there. Whether it be a god or something else we cannot say there is not god until we disprove it by creating something out of nothing. Top scholars follow this thought because it is true. I'm not a huge follower although I do believe in god because he hasn't been proven fake. At some point in my life I will read the bible and interpret it myself and follow the way I choose rather than have someone preach
Liber Nυ — Crowley: 'An instruction for attaining Nuit 11 Book of Crowley, It is not God who changes but the ability to perceive God that changes.
The 10 Sefirot, arranged into the 3 columns, with the 22 Paths of Connection of three types Altogether 11 sefirot are named, I also think in my own opinion the song represent getting connected to ones guardian angel. Definitely not about Maynard going home. Going home is a Satanic reference to going home as well going down has the same meaning.
@88N3RO88 I think life is really not that complicated. Lighten up buddy, its all a big game, just try to have fun and do right by others. Some people (specially religious people) have their heads stuffed with so much feces that they lose focus and don't contribute anything relevant to society other than endless assumptions and babbling about a supposed god which there is no proof whatsoever that exists and therefore can be classified as just another fairy tale.
I would love to sit down with Maynard and find out where he gets his ideas for the lyrics for his songs. I have recently been reading meterial that coincides with many of his songs written years ago. Jimmy, 46-2, Lateralus, Rosetta Stoned, I don't know if Maynard is the only one responsible for all the song lyrics but I would love to talk with him and find out. There are so many questions to aks.
comment 1 - asking to be trolled while trying to sound like a smart-ass
comment 2 - ironically feeding my unintentional troll so hard it is almost not funny
comment 3 - think that feeding trolls unintentionally doesn't make you look like a jackass (or stupid), therefore, assumed i am making unsubstantiated assumptions
comment 4 - re-establish your dominance in that i am unable to help you, and to retarded to do so, re-assign another meaning to my comments, regardless of what they said
@madeofhatred I do not know where I have been assigning wrong meaning to your words, please list these circumstances and I will tell you why I said that which I said, however mongoloid you are once again just as (IF NOT MORE! hahaha, btw that was making fun of your lame little unjustified slander). You however make comments about my psychological state, my age and my character just going off what I have said, but you never really justify anything you say, and when you do try any attempts I make
@madeofhatred at contending it end getting labelled as 're-affirmations of by Grand, omnipotent, supreme, love-2-b-trolledness' Honestly, I geniunely believe I am talented. On the basis that there are multiple area of which I possess talent superior to that of your average person. I argue with trolls for what can be simplified as: 'practise at arguing'. I do not believe trolling is an art.
eleven is right b4 12 on a clock it, and if 12 is when the event (day) ends then eleven is when all your realizations of closure occur of things like saying goodbye and thinking when is the next time your going to be back or whatever......... i think
Could someone cite unto me their nauseating opinion as though it were fact. Could this same person subsequently patronise me via a long-winded explaination detailing everything about the aforementioned opinion that this certain 'someone' believes to lend it credit.
Please take care to dictate the premises of my arguments to me and to dismiss any and all counter-arguments with internally inconsistent lines of reasoning and/or hypocritical, contradictive premises of your own.
@madeofhatred trolling is an art :) * And no it's not, that's simply a self serving fallacy found only in the philisophical repertoire of trolls.
If you consider coming across as a cunt over the internet as an achievement that can be considered skillful, and the perfection thereof to be art then you have not thought very deeply about what you have said.
@Omnilegence " but that line, seeming so sum up what trolling is about (by guiding people to answer “AN art” and so to get trolled), got many threads created on internet."
@Omnilegence see what happens when you go on a tirade about how stupid the online community is and how superior and intelligent you are in comparison?
you make yourself look like an idiot and an even bigger cunt than the cunts who are just trying to get a rise out of you.
@madeofhatred Well. No. To be honest I fail to see how rebuking your comment and not once mentioning the level of my own intellect implies that at all. You are starting to seem like the type of person that makes very large assumptions about a person whilst you judge them.
Indeed, your decidedly smug and condescending lecture now falls neatly into the subject matter of my initial comment, doing nothing but strengthening my certainty that this comments section is full of self-obsessed losers.
@madeofhatred Yeah ok great. As you may have deduced, I don't care for your opinion, your help and especially not for your obnoxious over-estimation of your own abilities.
Not that I believe your original comment was even remotely intended to "help me not to judge others"(as if that was a useful lesson anyway!, ugh) but rather a silly assertion that I imagine you yourself will revoke as soon as you actually engage your brain and, more importantly, disengage your ego.
@Omnilegence if someone on a message board, or in a chat room, or article comment section posts about how much that particular website sucks and how every member there is an idiot, he's not expecting agreement or for the community to change based on his feedback. He's looking for that community to attack him. He wants the attention. He can't get love from the group, but he can get hate, and even hate is better than apathy.
@madeofhatred You repeat the same thing over and over again thinking I can't see what is happening. I understand with all the clarity of a divine-fucking-being the fact that as I continue, so do you. What you're not seeing is the underlying meaning of our two positions. Every time you come back at me with idiocy I will come back with obstinacy. The superior philisophical position I take on the matter ensures that I am not simply ensuring the degradation of my intellect by perpetually arguing it.
@Omnilegence Therefore, screaming insults at him only ensures that he'll continue doing what he's doing. If nobody responds to anything he says, he'll simply get bored and go away.
It's so simple, yet incredibly hard to do. Every instinct in your body will scream for you to react, the same instinct that makes the other dogs in a pack attack the one acting like a fucktard.
Before you can even stop to think about what you're going to say, your fingers will be hammering out the perfect combination of letters to "put him in his place." Understand this: if you combined all of the languages from every life form on every developed planet in an infinite number of universes, you would not be able to construct a single sentence that would accomplish this goal.
@madeofhatred Trolling is no more an art than pedalling on a bike and subsequently moving is an art.
I do not require these incessant patronising remarks reminding how the mechanism of trolling works, sure every time I click the "Post"(not hit the enter button) you achieve your aim. But I lose? What i've arguing from the start surely indicates quite obviously my opinion that in the long run, feeding the troll kills the human inside. In the long run, you lose.
@madeofhatred I argue with trolls for amusement, for practise how obviously can I put it? They are a means to an end.
If it feeds them then fine, I am unconcerned about the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of some small-minded fools. Trolls will sooner choke on me than break my will to argue against unintelligence wherever it crawls out from and no matter how many times it tries hopelessly to use it's limited linguistic skills to hide it's shame at what it is.
I happened to read the comments while listening to the song and I have to say that the "omni" guy sounds like a little punk ass bitch who wouldn't dare talk to somebody.....or anybody for that matter....like that in person. You little pukes make me sick. Here's an idea, go get laid! Quit talking shit over your keyboard, homo.
@jmaesramsdall05 Om-Ni-Le-Jens is how you pronounce it. I do indeed talk to people like this in person and I never regret it. I grate little coward's faces across drains when they try and play the 'nerd, go get laid' card. It would be 'typing' shit not 'talking' shit.
Wanna meet up in person princess? No I thought not, so why bring up the stupid "in person" crap that no one can ever disclose with any valid finality?
@madeofhatred Look this is getting lengthy and boring and less and less meaningful AND you have failed as of yet to wrap your monocellular brain around a single thing I have said.
The reason this is occuring is because you think you know what we are talking about, erroneously.
I do not think my words come out as riddles to you, I think your medulla oblongata possessing a faculty of reasoning that naturally makes superfluous assumptions about everything is processes and thus blurs understanding.
@Omnilegence Is that your only entertainment? (Spoiling your desire) To blow your minds on a one way track. Building knowledge out of flexible existence. Hunt for adrenaline is staggering, Grand lack of emotions. You'll never face conclusions, You'll get what you want. Corrosion of emotions, Is how you block your state. From scratch to revelation, It's all been there, bleeding for someone to dare. Extension of deceptions, brings you to your final collapse. "Am I really an exception?"
@madeofhatred I'm assuming those are song lyrics or some other such stuff so I am going to not humour you and dismiss this desperate attempt at making a point.
@Omnilegence comment 5- convince yourself that you enjoy being frustrated by idiots, and that is how you get your jollies, again try to look as intellectual as possible.
comment 6 - convince yourself that your words are far too transcendental for the mere mortal to comprehend
comment 7 - re-affirm your grand delusion of brilliance.
@madeofhatred Oh you just can't be fooled can you? Clearly this was and is and if it continues shall continue to be about me, me and my burgeoning egoic self-absorbtion. That's why I started off with an ironic comment on trolls.
I know you think you are clever, I know you think you know me enough to dismiss what i'm saying as narcissism. What you actually know is none of the above or anything else really. You keep persuing perfection of your art, I declare you the winner.
@Omnilegence 1. just because your first comment wasn't about yourself doesnt mean that your posts weren't riddled with narcissism. (those who love themselves will integrate them into every subject possible
2. i am not, nor did i ever claim to be a troll. i wsa simply stating you are equally as bad (if not worse) than the trolls
3. i, unlike you, never pretended to be clever or exceptional in any way. and when someone claims to have omnipotence, but clearly lacks the developement of an adult
@madeofhatred I already declared you the winner, you claim not to be a troll. Why perpetuate this? 1. I did not claim that I enjoyed being wound up or 'trolled', I claimed that I possessed ample determination to see an argument with someone as stupid as yourself through to the end, hence the reason I am still replying. 2. This whole 'I do not pretend to be exceptional...' thing goes nowhere, why bother? I cannot prove I am exceptional and you can not prove I am not, especially not by stating it.
Maynard's middle name is James. Perhaps nicknamed Jimmy. Eleven; age before becoming a young adult and losing childhood innocence. Going back to innocence away from the corruption of adulthood and all it's meaningless material goals. Going back to the light and wisdom of simply living happily.
My personal interpretation of this song is that it is about loss of innocence. Not in any devious way, just when we grow up an important part of ourselves fades into the background.
I wonder why people listen to this if they don't even like it, I absolutley love this song, the sad thing is none of my friends listen to Tool or anyone like them, it doesn't suprise me though.
@oreokitty116 yea same here im always fighting with my friends on whose a better singer maynard or that dude from linkon park. as if theres any compititon!!!!
James is Maynard's birth name, so I assume he is Jimmy.
"What was it like to see the face of your own stability suddenly look away, leaving you with the dead and hopeless. Eleven and she was gone." His mother had a cerebral aneurysm that left her paralyzed when he was eleven.
"Under a dead Ohio sky, eleven has been and will be waiting.." He is also from Ohio.
the 1 and 1 coming together. this album is about his anima or soul in latin. its about the carl jung ideas of reuniting with your shadow (46 & 2) and other such issues in himself. read on carl jung and this album will come into focus
i as well as many other have experienced this phenomenon with the number 11.. for most it appears in many odd places all throughout the day one after another there is the number 11.. i have a personal relationship with this thing which i conclude be be a conscious entity who through subtly bringing certain thinngs to my attention can lead me to certain conclusions and has.. through this i have come to a higher understanding of myself and god.. i think maynard has had this experience as well
@ancientdan im just curious as to why 11.. i always liked to look at each number individually.. you notice "all are one" kind of like a metaphor within itself
what i like about tool is that they usually even out the musicianship in everysong... even the bassist owns.. but this song, maynard took over. fuckin fantastic.
@RECDEMON25 that is excatly why i love this band, because i am a bass player and most bands don't realize the great sound and power that can be made from the bass
Maynard was born James Herbert Keneen, Jimmy. His mom had a stoke when he was 11. He was left with his dad or stepdad. I think in this song his "home" is within himself. I dont know everything about him and dont want to act like I do. Just a little possible insight on the song...
I THINK if you play this song at the end of David Lynch's Eraserhead, right when Henry begins to cut the babies wrappings, it makes a helllllll of a music video. And the ironies are endless.
who else do all of you listen sing and marvel? other than Maynard, I have to go with Freddie Mercury. That man's voice was sublime. would be interested to know all of your opinions...
unless this was a rumor, the last album was entitled 10,000 days because it symbolic of the day his mom was crippled to the day she dies. a rough round off, i assume. ok, i'll stop now. enjoy the music!!! :)
clearly about his mother. a lot of what mjk writes about is a bottomless pit in his self regarding his mother and him. they, clearly, loved each other, but his mother's faith, a blind leap, always befuddled him.
To me, this song is about finding your twin soul/flame, which allows both to "reunite and move on together, back home." the number 11 and its occurrence with twin souls is known. research it. this can only happen once both souls have healed their scars and have fully awakened to their true nature. It could take eons and many lifetimes, but it will happen. As a side note, I believe I just found mine.
It's funny, people view tool as just one person, maynard. There's a whole band that represents itself as one. Who gives a fuck about who they are in the past, seriously.
@Viibrate Danny doesn't play guitar, Adam does, and I'm not saying that he doesn't understand rhythm, I'm just saying that he doesn't do anything terribly complicated, I think that he's an okay guitarist and he works with Tool's sound well but I just don't think that he's that fantastic of a guitarist.
thank you so much for the "silent" lyrics

Could someone cite unto me their nauseating opinion as though it were fact. Could this same person subsequently patronise me via a long-winded explaination detailing everything about the aforementioned opinion that this certain 'someone' believes to lend it credit.
Please take care to dictate the premises of my arguments to me and to dismiss any and all counter-arguments with internally inconsistent lines of reasoning and/or hypocritical, contradictive premises of your own.

@madeofhatred trolling is an art :) * And no it's not, that's simply a self serving fallacy found only in the philisophical repertoire of trolls.
If you consider coming across as a cunt over the internet as an achievement that can be considered skillful, and the perfection thereof to be art then you have not thought very deeply about what you have said.

@Omnilegence " but that line, seeming so sum up what trolling is about (by guiding people to answer “AN art” and so to get trolled), got many threads created on internet."

@Omnilegence see what happens when you go on a tirade about how stupid the online community is and how superior and intelligent you are in comparison?
you make yourself look like an idiot and an even bigger cunt than the cunts who are just trying to get a rise out of you.
also unrelated but interesting

@madeofhatred Well. No. To be honest I fail to see how rebuking your comment and not once mentioning the level of my own intellect implies that at all. You are starting to seem like the type of person that makes very large assumptions about a person whilst you judge them.
Indeed, your decidedly smug and condescending lecture now falls neatly into the subject matter of my initial comment, doing nothing but strengthening my certainty that this comments section is full of self-obsessed losers.

@Omnilegence i said it "makes you look like"

madeofhatred 9 months ago
@madeofhatred Yeah ok great. As you may have deduced, I don't care for your opinion, your help and especially not for your obnoxious over-estimation of your own abilities.
Not that I believe your original comment was even remotely intended to "help me not to judge others"(as if that was a useful lesson anyway!, ugh) but rather a silly assertion that I imagine you yourself will revoke as soon as you actually engage your brain and, more importantly, disengage your ego.

@Omnilegence if someone on a message board, or in a chat room, or article comment section posts about how much that particular website sucks and how every member there is an idiot, he's not expecting agreement or for the community to change based on his feedback. He's looking for that community to attack him. He wants the attention. He can't get love from the group, but he can get hate, and even hate is better than apathy.
madeofhatred 8 months ago
@madeofhatred You repeat the same thing over and over again thinking I can't see what is happening. I understand with all the clarity of a divine-fucking-being the fact that as I continue, so do you. What you're not seeing is the underlying meaning of our two positions. Every time you come back at me with idiocy I will come back with obstinacy. The superior philisophical position I take on the matter ensures that I am not simply ensuring the degradation of my intellect by perpetually arguing it.
Omnilegence 8 months ago
@Omnilegence Therefore, screaming insults at him only ensures that he'll continue doing what he's doing. If nobody responds to anything he says, he'll simply get bored and go away.
It's so simple, yet incredibly hard to do. Every instinct in your body will scream for you to react, the same instinct that makes the other dogs in a pack attack the one acting like a fucktard.
madeofhatred 8 months ago
@Omnilegence You must resist it.
Before you can even stop to think about what you're going to say, your fingers will be hammering out the perfect combination of letters to "put him in his place." Understand this: if you combined all of the languages from every life form on every developed planet in an infinite number of universes, you would not be able to construct a single sentence that would accomplish this goal.

also trolling is a art

@madeofhatred Trolling is no more an art than pedalling on a bike and subsequently moving is an art.
I do not require these incessant patronising remarks reminding how the mechanism of trolling works, sure every time I click the "Post"(not hit the enter button) you achieve your aim. But I lose? What i've arguing from the start surely indicates quite obviously my opinion that in the long run, feeding the troll kills the human inside. In the long run, you lose.
But go on, say it again...

madeofhatred 8 months ago
@madeofhatred I argue with trolls for amusement, for practise how obviously can I put it? They are a means to an end.
If it feeds them then fine, I am unconcerned about the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of some small-minded fools. Trolls will sooner choke on me than break my will to argue against unintelligence wherever it crawls out from and no matter how many times it tries hopelessly to use it's limited linguistic skills to hide it's shame at what it is.

@Omnilegence 1. just because your first comment wasn't about yourself doesnt mean that your posts weren't riddled with narcissism. (those who love themselves will integrate them into every subject possible
2. i am not, nor did i ever claim to be a troll. i wsa simply stating you are equally as bad (if not worse) than the trolls
3. i, unlike you, never pretended to be clever or exceptional in any way. and when someone claims to have omnipotence, but clearly lacks the developement of an adult

I did not claim that I enjoyed being wound up or 'trolled', I claimed that I possessed ample determination to see an argument with someone as stupid as yourself through to the end, hence the reason I am still replying. 2. This whole 'I do not pretend to be exceptional...' thing goes nowhere, why bother? I cannot prove I am exceptional and you can not prove I am not, especially not by stating it.

James is Maynard's birth name, so I assume he is Jimmy.
"What was it like to see the face of your own stability suddenly look away, leaving you with the dead and hopeless. Eleven and she was gone." His mother had a cerebral aneurysm that left her paralyzed when he was eleven.
"Under a dead Ohio sky, eleven has been and will be waiting.." He is also from Ohio.
My favorite Tool song by far.

Maynard was born James Herbert Keneen, Jimmy. His mom had a stoke when he was 11. He was left with his dad or stepdad. I think in this song his "home" is within himself. I dont know everything about him and dont want to act like I do. Just a little possible insight on the song...

To me, this song is about finding your twin soul/flame, which allows both to "reunite and move on together, back home." the number 11 and its occurrence with twin souls is known. research it. this can only happen once both souls have healed their scars and have fully awakened to their true nature. It could take eons and many lifetimes, but it will happen. As a side note, I believe I just found mine.

He understands genuine rhythm.
