      It's a about life in general. Everybody suffers in their own way. He's portraying that. Not necessarily drugs. It could be anything.

    I watch Tool reactions religiously, like every day one of my favourite things to do is once I get home from work and walking my dog, the earbuds go in and i watch someone fall in love with Tool. This reaction is one of my favourites so far. Thanks for your honesty and stories. Give Pneuma a go. Not the live version yet, just the studio version. You won't stop after that. Looking forward to the next one. Spiral out, brother. 🌀

    Its Carl Jung that i believe speaks of "the shadow" which the lyrics are loosely based around i think i read. And stepping through and embracing your shadow.
    This song helped me get sober from a 10 year cocaine addiction. Tool has been a tool in my life to get better. And grow. And learn. they opened my eyes and mind. forever will love and thank them for that.

    • @Sabbat7001

    Don't apologize! Tool is forces you to take a journey into the deepest parts of your soul. After decades of listening to them I still have a profoundly intense emotional reaction to their music. The lead singer also leads the band Perfect Circle, which is equally mind blowing.

  • @sharilynbratton6476
    @sharilynbratton6476 Před rokem +23

    Parabol and Parabola are two great Tool songs that you have to listen to together, Parabol runs directly into Parabola so they need to be heard as one song. This is a beautiful duo, the lyrics are so beautiful about our choosing to be here and how this life is a spiritual journey.

  • @thomaslong2212
    @thomaslong2212 Před rokem +8

    TOOL has many deep, healing tunes. You wouldn't think prog rock could be healing, but TOOL proves it can. I like to think of them as Priests of Sonic Truth. They are not afraid of going deep into the human condition, and I have personally found their music to be therapeutic.

  • @TeakersTV
    @TeakersTV Před 10 měsíci

    The shadow is in reference to Sigmund Freuds "The Shadow". It refers to the darkness that lives within all of us and the acceptance of this darkness allows us to overcome it and keep it at bay rather than be all-consumed by it. 10/10 would recommend looking into it!

    Maynard is a huge fan of Karl Jung who was a psychiatrist who said you have to incorporate and overcome all the negative sides of your "shadow self" to be a healthy person. That's why he talks about shadows alot.

    I think the song is about addiction and what it does to the addict. How it makes them turn into a monster. Betraying others, chasing the high. The guilt, the inner monologue an addict has.

  • @carthuscrass2343
    @carthuscrass2343 Před rokem

    Usually when Tool talks about shadows they're referencing Shadow in the Jungian Psychology sense. The Shadow is the part of your consciousness that lies under the surface, whether it be parts of you that you cant accept, or just cant understand. Understanding and accepting The Shadow is the path to knowing who you really are, and consequently, true contentment.

    I've been lucky enough to avoid most serious and detrimental addictions, but I've seen friends and others demolished by it. While I really enjoy this song, I can't imagine what it means to someone who has gone through it and come back out. Glad you connected so much with music, thats what great art is about. Finding your personal connection with the artists vision and the close the two are, the more impactful it can be. Happy for you and how you've traveling a different path in life now.

Recognizing your emotions and vulnerability as bravery and I thank you. I was messed up. Hurting my family. I’ve went through rehab and all. Everyone should. Even if not drugs. Everyone’s addicted. Phones, media etc. it’s hard out here. Stay strong brother

Congratulations on your great progress in kicking the pills, and giving up alcohol! It is very hard, but you can do it. You have our love and support each day on your life journey. You will help many other people this way as well. Continued prayers for you. I noticed 'Mother Mary' in the lyrics too which made me happy. Sometimes good and evil get mixed-up in our brains, but hopefully we follow our dreams and make the right choices only we can to make our lives better. Take care. 🎉❤️💙💗🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹💐🌷💕💕🎵🎶🎼🎹🎤⭐️🎁🎁😇😇💗💙❤️🎉

    The Shadow aka your dark subconscious mind aka the Evil Kermit meme.
    The shadow isn't just negative...it is all the hidden parts of your psyche.
    Get this though...in complete darkness and total light the effect is the same...you're blinded. So the subconscious is the shadow in which you cannot see AND the light that is so bright that you cannot see.
