"Forty Six & 2" is a song by American progressive metal band Tool. It is released as the fourth single from their second album Ænima in 1997 and received radio airplay. Justin Chancellor's bass performance was named the 39th greatest bass performance by digitaldreamdoor.com affiliate nutsie.com in 2009.
The title references an idea first conceived by Drunvalo Melchizedek concerning the possibility of reaching a state of evolution at which the body would have two more than the normal 46 total chromosomes and leave a currently disharmonious state. The premise is that humans would deviate from the current state of human DNA which contains 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. The next step of evolution would likely result in human DNA being reorganized into 46 and 2 chromosomes, according to Melchizedek.
Furthermore, the song references a wish to experience change through the "shadow"; an idea which represents the parts of one's personality that one hates and fears, which also exists as a recurring theme in the work of Carl Jung.
The song is mostly in 4/4 time with some sections of 7/8 in between. In the intro, Danny Carey plays 4 measures of 7/8 on his ride cymbal over the rest of the band playing in 4/4, and they all meet up on the downbeat of the 5th measure in 4/4. During the bridge there are 3 measures of 7/8 followed by one measure of 4/4, and a brief poly-rhythm of 6/8 over 7 in breakdown solo.

My shadow's shedding skin, I've been picking scabs again.
I'm down digging through my old muscles looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused and insecure delusions.
For a piece to cross me over or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in my shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin.
I've been picking my scabs again.
Join in my.. join in my child.
Shadow's closer to me.
I've been crawling on my belly clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me, feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and cleansing I've endured in my shadow.
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and 2 ahead of me.
I choose to live and to grow.
Take and give and to move.
Learn and love and to cry.
Kill and die and to be paranoid.
And to lie, hate and fear and to do what it takes to move through.
I choose to live and to lie.
Kill and give and to die.
Learn and love and to do what it takes to step through.
See my shadow changing stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way by stepping through my shadow.
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and 2 are just ahead of me.
Why are so many people who comment on Tool videos stoners? Can't they enjoy the music without the drugs or something? Cause I know I can, Tool fucking rock!

@CharSaysRawr I don't mind stoners, they're funny. Except my roommate, he's got a memory span of a retarded fish, which is saying a lot.
I do enjoy music and other things on a daily basis. Me doing drugs is a very rare thing. But I listen to Tool because I just love them, and being high while listening is just beyond comparison.

@DGK201 Ah, too late. I already viewed this on 'shrooms and acid. Different times of course.
Right during Danny's solo is when I peaked on acid...I thought I was slowly imploding. Great experience.
(Disclaimer: Drugs are bad, mmmk? Don't do drugs.)
