Lateralus - Tool

Lateralus by Tool. One of may favorites song by them (^_^)

Lyrics:

black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red & yellow then came to be, reaching out to me,
lets me see.
as below, so above & beyond, i imagine.
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
push the envelope. watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
withering my intuition, missing opportunities & i must
feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me,
lets me see there is so much more &
beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
as below, so above and beyond, i imagine.
drawn outside the lines of reason.
push the envelope. watch it bend.

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.
feed my will to feel this moment, urging me to cross the line.
reaching out to embrace the random.
reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

i embrace my desire to,
i embrace my desire to,
feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside & weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral,
to swing on the spiral of our divinity & still be a human.

with my feet upon the ground i move myself between the sounds & open wide to suck it in.
i feel it move across my skin.
i'm reaching up & reaching out.
i'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
what ever will bewilder me.
& following our will & wind we may just go where no one's been.
we'll ride the spiral to the end & may just go where no one's been.
spiral out. keep going.
spiral out. keep going.
spiral out. keep going.
spiral out. keep going.

We had the lyrics to this song put on my uncle's headstone. He loved this song, it has such powerful lyrics..

[MrStavi1990]

a true tool fan pays for the music. get all the albums rather than download them. you'll be more satisfied that way. especially the art that comes with each album.

just saying.

Spiral out, and keep going brothers and sisters.

@MrStavi1990 And also, don't watch videos of dipshits like this guy WHO IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF TOOLS MUSIC FOR NO GOOD REASON EXCEPT TO CASH IN. TOOL IS ART. YOU'VE MONETIZED ART. YOU DEGRADE ART. IT'S FUCKING DISGUSTING TO DO THIS TO THIS SONG. THIS TYPE OF ACTION IS WHY MUSIC IS SHIT THESE DAYS. IT'S ABOUT MONEY, NOT ART. FUCKING DISSAPPOINTING HOLY SHIT.

@Ecrogue agreed man well agreeded

I just wanna say that todays youth need more influences like tool was an influence to my generation. Tools main message to me has always been to be a good person, know and understand myself and my surroundings and do right by others. Now a days the social norm for teenagers is a message of self destruction, worthlessness, drug abuse, violence, and sexual devience. I think artists in the mainstream should recognize their impact and embrace their medium to present a message of good not debautery.

@kinglethal22 Meaning is easy from this song. A spiral. That's what the song is about. The entire time signature/ lyrical pattern is based on a Fibonacci spiral. A song entirely based on set patterns about over-analyzing something to find a pattern. It's 'A Scanner Darkly' the song.

This song moves me in a way no other song moves me.

it happens to me a lot with tool songs that after even 9 minutes of music i dont feel bored. they just say what they need to say in that song and that takes its time. there are other songs that already finish after 90 sec. but last four minutes or so. they bore me. my brain, that fucker!
