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 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.

@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

Maynard James Keenan is one of the greatest song writers of all time.

@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 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!

@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

@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
