This is the reactor every Tool fan needed. I'm a 62 yo nurse taken out of a crazy workaholic life, from age 19, by a very rare blood disease triggered by trauma. Maybe 2 vacations EVER! 35 yo single mom of 2 when Tool came around. My 9 yo son was a Linkin Park fan so we never dove into Tool. They bounced back in at 10,000 Days but my now teenage kids were not ready. After a huge run of personal losses for 10 yrs Fear Inoculum came out. Alone finally, my Tool era was able to begin (30 yo kids still won't listen). Right when it was needed most. Thank you for taking your time to do these reactions. Trauma work is finally coming to the fore and I'm here for it. The Tool Army is literally a giant support group and I've facilitated many. We all benefit. 🌀🌀🌀

I'm 52 and was recently forced to stop running from my broken inner child. I finally started therapy because of an adjustment disorder to my recent multiple sclerosis dx. I'm sure you know that once you start digging you inevitably find that child because it holds the roots of most issues. I never knew how much my autoimmune system could be influenced by my childhood ptsd and living in a constant state of flight, fight, freeze and fawn. All that being said, I've listened to and loved Tool since my husband introed them to me in '97, but these past several months in therapy have made me appreciate them so much more.❤ Especially this song.

Something that helped me wildly was getting into a relaxed state and talking to the various trauma-separated versions of self in the mirror, like a window between times. Drops the fog of the ego-mask long enough to gain real insight and heal distortions. Then you switch perspectives and answer *from the mirror version and keep flipping perspectives til you're one being.

I am so glad you used all four of the protection responses. So often the fawn response is left out. It is the misunderstanding of the fawn response that leads to victim blaming & self hatred. It is a response I have seen so much in the traumatized women in my life (unfortunately nearly every single one). I have been honored to show that masculine does NOT mean violent. that emotional connection does NOT need to be sexualized. What so many people (of all genders) need is to feel connected and safe to to express themselves. Even the men in this toxic cycle of abuse are robbed of true emotional connection. Sorry if I gave a little rant here 😢 You are amazing for putting yourself out there and sharing your journey! Spiral Out!

I stumbled upon your reaction to this song through my recommended feed. I went down a long rabbit hole of Tool reaction videos a while back so I will occasionally get new ones popping up. I have loved Tool since the 90s, and I always enjoy seeing new people, especially those with expertise in certain things, react to Tool. Guitarists, Drummers, Vocalists, Composers, etc. I’ve always been fascinated with Maynard’s lyrics, so it’s very interesting to have someone provide psychoanalysis of just how deep his lyrics really get. I hope you continue down this Tool spiral 🌀 and provide more insight. There is a huge collection of deep lyrical meanings in seemingly all Tool songs.

I was born in ‘76, I had a rough upbringing, when I was 22 I tried to delete myself. I still struggle, but I have medication and my therapist now. Back then I was a rudderless ship derelict on the chaotic seas of my emotions. Music was an influence on me. So many great bands in the late 90s and early 2000s. Pearl Jam, STP, Alice In Chains, Tool, Rage Against the Machine. Sadly we’ve lost so many great musicians to their own demons. I listen to Tool every day.

I love how the main riff goes through a metamorphosis of its own throughout the song, too. It's the same notes as the beginning of the song, but by the end the cadence and tone has changed so much that it's almost unrecognizable. I know that Maynard usually comes in after the music is written and puts vocals and lyrics to it, but I wonder if they kind of already knew where they wanted it to go with this one before they brought him in.

Great reaction. Tool is responsible for one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, imo. Wings for Marie 1&2. Need to be listened to back to back. A brief dive into the back story is important… just like you did with this one. It is a beautifully haunting requiem that allows you to feel every layer of loss. All of the grief and sadness. But also the fury and the rage. Individually and all at once. Absolutely amazing piece of music. Every time I hear it, I thank the universe that Maynard wrote it AND chose to share it with us.

Awesome breakdown of an amazing song and band🔥🤘🌀! So many people are blown away by the musicality of these guys that the lyrics don’t always hit the first listen. For me, it took dozens of listens to truly break down my old armor and shed my skin. Thank you for making it clear and concise🙏🏼. Also, re: the line about “crawling on my belly” is definitely what you said but also think it ties into the lyric about “shedding skin”. To shed one’s skin is to be like a snake and snakes crawl on their belly. Snakes were extremely important in ancient cultures and their mythologies because they represented rebirth/radical change. In order to continue to grow a snake must shed its old skin when it’s time to enter its next growth cycle. The image of an ouroburous is also brought to mind which is another snake symbol of life and rebirth and the cyclical nature of growth. Love music that makes us dig deeper. Keep up the great reactions! I think you would love “The Grudge” and “Lateralus” by them as well! Spiral out, my new friend🌀🤘!

I think I said Freud when I suggested this song... Oops. I know it's Jung Onto the song. This is my favourite song of all time. I love the ugly imagery juxtaposed with beautiful singing. Shedding skin, picking scabs, crawling on your belly clearing something out, wallowing... It all invokes disgust and it perfectly represents the difficult job of looking at your worst traits/traumas and challenging them. I especially love the use of metamorphosis. When an insect is in a cocoon, they liquify their old body before emerging as the finished product. They undergo a complete destruction to rebirth. It is equal parts disgusting and beautiful and I love the metaphor. Also there is the pace of the music. It starts as a whisper over gentle guitar and the quiet tapping of a rhythm. It's like a lullaby that gradually escalates into your face being slammed on the table of screaming, grinding distortion on the guitar and the drums are crashing... All while retaining the basics of how it all started. Frankly I could write an essay on this song. But now I thank you. One of the best interpretations of this song I've seen. And I've seen a LOT of interpretations of this song

Maynard may be briefly alluding to that part of himself that got trapped in the past when his mother suffered an aneurysm and he had to watch her decline for 27 years (or 10,000 Days). In TOOL's song Jimmy he references what I am trying to say above and in the song 10,000 Days he hits this from another angle of this broad consequentual topic.

For me, this song is quite metaphorical, and yet also literal. "Join in my child, and listen.." talking to his inner child, which needs to be recovered as we grow through our lives, as we lose our innocence to the realities around us and can lose our joy of living and loving. "I've been crawling on my belly, clearing out what could have been" cleaning under the mental bed, the dark corners of the mind where our traumas and our shadows thrive. "My shadows shedding skin, I've been picking my scabs again" I've been intentionally revisiting trauma and digging at things which I react adversely to in order to understand myself and grow, evolve. "Feel my shadow changing, stretching up and over me" because of this work, my shadow is transforming into something which is nurturing my inner child, reinvigorating a love for the beauty and wonder of the world. "Forty-six & 2 are just ahead of me" my evolution as a person lies ahead, and I am now ready for it because I put the work in.

Maynard's lyrics are full of Jungian ideas, especially on this album and Lateralus. I think you'll have quite an interesting time going through all those songs. Even the ones that are explicitly just pissed off/trolling still contain engaging bits for anyone interested in psychology. There's going to be a handful of overwhelming requests, I'm guessing The Grudge for instance, and none of them are bad. However, there's a track that gets underrepresented for some reason and that is The Patient, which follows The Grudge. I think that for a therapist specifically that one will be great for a bit of a break down. Great "reaction," btw. You love to see it.

@dmwelchdw 19 күн бұрын

Maybe I'm wrong, but the message of the song is about learning of yourself and growing. I think this is why he's referencing his inner child, and peoples feelings of being too to change, and the need to shed those barriers we've put around ourselves to cope, for better or worse. He doesn't say child in a negative way, it's like he's talking to his inner child and telling it a story, like a lesson.

As a queer trans person, this song (and TOOL in general) has always helped me, since my teen days, like a loyal companion throughout the process of looking inwards, acknowledging myself, my past, my present, my truths, my lies, my shadow. This song perfectly encapsulates that feeling of looking at yourself in the mirror, seeing the ugly and the good, and stepping through it all, facing it fearlessly, and accepting change and evolution. The metamorphosis that comes then (in my case a very physical, real metamorphosis) is incredible, it's choosing to grow, to mature and become better, to be free and empowered! It seems that at every point in my life, it doesn't matter what I'm facing, whether it is transitioning, coming out, facing depression, anxiety, loneliness, fear, anger, etc. there is a TOOL song there to guide me through and help me stop and listen to something I need to listen to. I'm very grateful they exist. I want to also vouch for the point about guidance. YES. We MUST face things by ourselves, but we also just can't do that alone, community is everything. You can help and get helped, always.

You could have an entire channel analyzing Tool and Perfect Circle songs. Magdalena, the noose, Brena…… the songs are often mistaken for being dark because of the music. They are not.

Intolerance- it is self awareness, it’s calling out others and calling out oneself

It’s interesting: I always figured that as I grew older I would feel as though I was more competent and mature. Now I’m nearly 50, and I still feel like a dumb kid. I’m just faking it, I don’t actually have a clue as to what I am doing. Always wondered if my folks felt the same way and were just too afraid to admit it?

Many people can relate! In the immortal words of the band Kansas: “And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don’t know.” 😎🎵❤️

I think it’s a whisper at the beginning because it’s supposed to be some type of a subconscious affect

Because of our pride and egos, we’re our own worst enemies, in my opinion.

I would even say he is referring to his military training that led him to some of the crawl, walk, run through obstacles and leaning on others to get through the hard parts. The military had some impact on his thought process after he left

I recommend reaching out to the "Heart Support" channel and see if she wants to do a collaboration, she is doing essentially the same as you, "music heals"

Please react and post lyrics to tool’s “lateralus” it is a great song! It has beautiful lyrics. Based off of the Fibonacci sequence.

Doc, I can't tell you how gratifying it is to watch a reaction to this by (no offence to the general populace-it's a matter of what you do for a living. The shadow is the Doc's bailiwick.) someone who really understands what the shadow is. I know Tool goes over a lot of people's heads, so it's nice to hear someone that isn't completely mystified by Maynard. (I don't mean that to sound as d*ckish as it does.) And double bonus points for the Hendrix shirt. (He kept my psychologist husband out of the NBA when he heard "Dolly Dagger" at a party at age 14. He turned in his basketball for a guitar. Anyhoo, I very much enjoyed your video. Thanks for getting this far!

Read Carl Jung and Melchisedek. Them this song will make sense

You should do Parabol/Parabola. It's technically one song but they split it into two so the second half could get radio play. I'm sure there's plenty vids out there with them put together. The lyrics are amazing. It's my favorite Tool song.

Tool spelled backwards is Loot. Do with that what you will.

I also heard along my tool journey that this title also had another meaning that kinda goes along with this one . 46 n to the 2nd power which when plotted out goes on forever … 46n2 just ahead of me .

Hi there, I stumbled upon your analysis and your video channel by sheer serendipity, and I must agree wholeheartedly that music has the power to heal. I really hope that people come to recognize the immense power and energy that music holds. Music possesses a unique ability to heal on multiple levels - psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Its transformative power can penetrate deep into our psyche, providing comfort and clarity during times of mental distress. It can energize the body, encouraging physical movement and promoting overall well-being. Spiritually, music can elevate us, connecting us to a higher state of consciousness and fostering a sense of unity and peace. The interpretation of a piece of art, and unquestionably this song qualifies as such, is inherently personal and subjective. Therefore, any assertions made, regardless of the source, should always be approached with caution. Art, especially music, resonates uniquely with each listener, touching on emotions and memories that are deeply personal. It's this individual journey through sound that underscores the transformative and healing potential of music, making it a profound and invaluable aspect of human experience. Best wishes for all your future endeavors!
