    Lyrics:
    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
    Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
    Lets me see.
    As below, so above and 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 and 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
    And 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 all these 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.
    Come embrace my desire to, come embrace my desire to,
    Feel the rhythm, to feel connected
    Enough to step aside and 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, swing on the spiral.
    Of our divinity and still be a human.
    With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
    Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
    I feel it move across my skin.
    I'm reaching up and reaching out,
    I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
    And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
    Spiral out. Keep going, going

That doesn't mean it's a "cure" because there is no "cure" for depression, people who think there is are in for a rude awakening. You can become a relatively healthy and functional person but it doesn't mean you are "cured"... that's simply not how mental illness works.

    True story. How I discovered Tool and this song I was in a really dark place and was in a mental health hospital and opened the drawer in my room and these lyrics were written on the inside of the drawer. I had no idea who wrote them or that it was Tool but instantly felt connected and it actually gave me a lot of hope for the future. I love very few things more than I do this band.

  • @BulldozerBilly
    @BulldozerBilly Před rokem +156

    I always associate this song with my older brother Niel. He died of pancreatic cancer about 7 years ago. He was a big fan of Tool and borrowed me some of their albums when I was younger and in high school.
    To me I see this song as a type of metaphor for chemotherapy, my brother chose to do chemotherapy even though it really didn't do him any good. The statistics gave him a year to live after diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is one of the absolute worst cancers and they even cut him open to view if the cancer had spread(hoping to stop it before it could), but the cancer had spread and that basically assured him that his fate was sealed. But, he still did chemotherapy because he had a loving wife and he loved his two daughters. He was only 37 years old and he would've done anything to have another second with them. He still lived life to the fullest in that year he had, we all went to Six Flags and he did everything there, he had fun with everything and how he would smile. He was always optimistic, and a spiritual man.
    So how I see this song, is as his song. As a man, father or any woman or person who has chosen the harder way, purely out of just being hopeful and being patient. Optimistic. Holding onto anything to get through.
    If I was diagnosed with cancer I don't know what I'd do, but it would come across my mind to end the suffering quickly. I think everyone has had that thought, thinking to go out with a bang instead of withering.
    I'll always respect Niel for the path he walked for his family and his daughters. I love him very much, and wish I would've gotten to know him much better than I did.
    I was a stupid high school kid when he died, more concerned about things that didn't matter or wrapped up in my own opinions.
    I've realized something, just now. Niel didn't wither away, he left a resounding impact on me and many others.
    Cherish those types of people in your life! And LIVE YOUR LIVES!!!❤

      It's absolutely a dual meaning here. Patience, the virtue, as is being patient. And Patient as in an individual being a "patient" or waiting as you do for medical or emotional care. Also this is just my opinion so who really knows? heh

    One of my absolute favorites from Lateralus. I was a teen growing up in an abusive household, and this song was enough to help tide me over until I could escape. I still remember so vividly the first time playing through the album, as a whole, every track back to back, and just breaking down in tears. So many beautiful songs, so many emotions, and now so many memories. It doesn't take as much to get away from things physically sometimes compared to mentally or emotionally, and I've spent years working to build myself up and out, I'm still working on it! I suspect there isn't really ever an end to it :P but I just wanted to say thank you to all the members of Tool, for helping a vulnerable girl (and now woman) grow into her own. Your music helped me feel less alone, less worthless, and less confused. Your music helped to encourage my empathy and understanding, to convince me that I was on the right track, and to shun the bitter impulses that want to wither away all of the things that make us capable of kindness and greatness. It's very easy to lash out and turn to rage, to substances, to the external, to deal with what we go through. Your music helped me to ensure that I would never become what I hated. Thank you.
    Shout out to other particularly touching tracks from your catalogue: Prison Sex (all time favorite), Intolerance, Reflection, Lateralus, Pushit, H., Sober, Wings for Marie (Pt. 1 & 2). By no means an inclusive list, just the ones off of the top of my head that struck a chord with me way back then and continue to do so today.

    He just sounds so fucking lost at the beginning and defeated and like he’s shrunk himself into the smallest being he could possibly become. His voice is so sad and soft and just the sound of anguish and frustration can be heard. You can truly tell he’s tired of the subject matter.

      Serhat Koç honestly I felt like Pneuma was the love child of Schism and The Patient. The 5/4 section of Pneuma is very reminiscent of this song.

    "I must keep reminding myself of this" has to be the most emotive part in any Tool track, when he just goes up that octave and you can hear the fucking agony. That and the "before we pine away" in Reflection.

    This song pretty much defines 'perfection'. That bass line haunts me every single time. An epic and majestic rollercoaster of emotions. I'm grateful for every 7 minutes of being alive, breathing and hearing this over and over because there's no way of getting tired of this masterpiece.

    I remember being 12 and blasting this entire album from beginning to end in my bedroom on a weeknight with no lights on vibing...before weed, before cigarettes...all natural intangible high. I wwnt to see the Lateralus tour that summer and it was the best concert ever...me and my 13 year old cousin snuck to the pit and I still remember that concert like it was yesterday.

      my therapist wanted me to try guided medition, she said "5-7 minutes" long, and a light bulb immediately went off in my head. so i asked her if it would be okay to listen to familiar music in the process. when she gave me the green light i knew right away which song to go to.
