Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 бер 2024
- Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Forty-Six & 2 by Tool to discuss the importance of stepping THROUGH your shadow in search of evolution instead of around it. It's vital to face your pain and your patterns that may arise from subconscious beliefs. It's a vital part of healing and reaching a higher state of consciousness.

As a therapist, you should really do The Grudge by Tool. It’s a great lesson about how holding grudges will drag you down unless you let them go.
I second this!
I second the second
Third this!
What they said.
He's right ya know. .1...
I was 32 years old when this came out. This song changed my life forever. It helped me realize what I needed to do to take me from a very lengthy dark time and place in my life, to experiencing the most wonderful and magical journey through the past 28 years. Thank you for an amazing reaction!
Damn I was 14 in 2004 someone left this album in my disc changer at a house party. I want to thank that random person whoever you are. this band changed my life.
@@KillerCutie89You were truly blessed with a masterpiece. I’ve been a TooL fan since 1994 and will say they’ve been a major part of my musical life. True masters of the craft.
Me too buddy. This song got me through flight school.
Just a nod to an older Tool fan. If I could talk Tool with my old man it'd be awesome.
Correction, you were 30 & 2
Therapists should see maynard
My guess is Maynard has seen a few
This song helped me through my Step 4 & Step 5 during my recovery.
Almost 5 years clean now
✌️❤️
Congrats man!
congrats🖤
Please tell me how this song relates to steps 4 and 5. At least the way you interpret it.
@TexasAggie97 I will give you the short answer cuz I could on and on .
Step 4 is "We make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves,"
So in the first part of the song lyrics, picking scabs, digging through my old muscles ( my past, my behavior,) etc is myself reflecting on the reasons that I was addicted: past trauma, horrible things I did to myself and others and the unhealthy methods that I used to kill the pain. The wallowing chaotic, insecure, and confused delusions. To contemplate what I've been clinging to. (Substances and that lifestyle to soothe me were the only things I believed would work)
I was determined to get better and I had to peek into the depths of this pain and false beliefs. I had to write it all down, all of it. To confront myself. To shed my old skin.
Step 5 is "We admit to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."
To do the shadow work and confront the things and feelings and bring them to the light of day. To admit to them, to cleanse myself. To feel the changes, seeking for the word to guide me in (serenity). To live in the here and now. To do what it takes to step through. To evolve.
Those 2 steps were the hardest thing that I've ever done !! I listened nonstop to Tool to soothe me during that period.
✌️❤️
@@barte3822 excellent analysis! I re-read the lyrics after your first post and agree 100% as another who has gone through the program now 13 years sober.
If you want to gain insight into the specific patterns Maynard is stepping through during his journey, listen to Judith by his other band A Perfect Circle. It's the story of Maynard's anger towards his mother's faith that she clung to in spite of a crippling disability she was forced to live with. The song 10,000 Days by Tool was written after his mother passed away, and is the conclusion to the story begun in the song Judith. ❤
No, Judith, 10,000 Days, Right in Two, The Conclusion is Puscifer - Horizons Beatiful tribute to his mom.
@@tomcat124us It's debatable that some other songs should be included in the "Maynard's Mom" playlist, but Judith and 10,000 Days are the two indispensable tracks that are 100% about her.
Jimmy should be at the start before Judith.
I did the same thing with my LCSW. She was rocking like you.
Funny how our focus and determination lies in our brow, resembling anger?
When he says, "crawling on my belly," I think he's referring to living in the lizard/primal mode to get to the fundamentals or just being stuck on stupid?
Thanks for your recognition and devotion to helping others.
Have your best day yet ...
... but not ever.
@@chaoticoldboreyou might be right
Wow.... Just.... Wow... 52 year old Marine, tons of issues, Tool fan since "Sober", 46&2 my favorite song, I got it but didn't get it. You just brought me through the other side and I'm weeping. Thank you, ma'am.
A few years ago, I was going through a dark time in my personal life, especially my marriage and my relationship with my kids. This song inspired me to study Carl Jung and his psychology regarding the shadow self. It was long, hard work, but I finally began wrestling with and accepting those ugly parts of myself that I was allowing to take over me during times of high stress. I credit this song with inspiring my journey towards self improvement.
Tool - The Patient changed my mind about comitting s*icide forever 15 years ago. I will be forever thankful to them for it.
I absolutely love her metal face and dancing 😅
Probably my favourite tool reaction videos... Nothing better than seeing someone listen to tool for the first time
When I first learned about 46 & 2 theory and connected it to Forty Six and 2, I ended up crafting this theory that the song is about not evolution as a natural process but evolution of a state of mind to shed your old self and step into a new self. The lyrics, “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” really speak that evolution of self to me. “Soften this old armor” always gets me as a man who had to deconstruct faith, replace hate with understanding, grow into empathy and sympathy, and learn to accept faults in order to become the person I am today. Love your videos from a therapist’s POV. My wife is a therapist and this really speaks volumes to the profession and interpreting skills of therapists.
I love watching the physical reactions people have to Danny’s polyrhythms.
hahah like everyone, we dont know what rythm to follow
She has zero but it's funny @@robertorojas2520
Please do “Lateralus” and “Parabol/Parabola”. So good.
I second that motion. All in favor say aye!
Yes! Was going to suggest those.
With the way your reactions deep dive with lyrics And their meanings - Lateralus should be quite the adventure.
Would love a Parabol/Parabola dive. One of my top 5
@@scottdolbyspiral out!!!🌀 so many good quoted tool lines in Lateralus
The Patient by Tool next please, love your reactions
THIS ^
I literally tell every person on youtube reacting to Tool songs to do The Patient. Probably one of their least listened to, yet best songs.
you are CRANKING out these Tool vids, love it
You're gonna love Right in Two by these guys, Maynard has a great depth of understanding of human nature.
The coolest part of that song is you can split the song into two separate songs right at the middle of it, and they'd both be great on their own.
Agree great deep song
Please include Intension with right in two!! They should be played together!
I love the song because it's a piece that can only be performed (well) by people very much in sync about division and our inability to get along
My favorite by tool and yes Maynard is a severely underrated song writer dude is a fkn genius
crawling on my belly I think is a reference to hwo a snake sheds its skin, so it represents the effort, that it is a difficult involved process rather than just easily peeling away a layer
Also snake shedding skin is symbolic of rebirth
How not hwo
no, I meant hwo@@haileyjuliasuarez6988
@@haileyjuliasuarez6988who not how cares?🤣
@@haileyjuliasuarez6988Thanks heaps for the pedantic correction, which you should have written as: How, not “hwo.” Two more errors than he made, well done.
Without it, zero people wouldn’t have figured it out.
Tool-Eulogy
You will not be disappointed!!
Tool-Anything
You will not be disappointed
Tool-what the guy said above of me
You will not be disappointed!!
Actually would be curious about her interpretation of that
Agreed
@@Bayzel-22I don't know, man. I was disappointed with Fear Inoculum...and most of 10,000 Days. Two of their weakest albums, in my opinion.
They say that people who listen to rock and heavy metal music while growing up become more well adjusted adults who are able to handle stress better
I’ve actually been helping my daughter (new mom) work through some tough times. I’ve been a TOOL fan since early 90s but have really been working on myself through their music the last couple years and I believe she’s noticed the change in me. Which has made her curious what I’ve been doing so I’ve been sharing TOOL and your reaction videos with her hoping she can relate and she has.
I literally just spent 30-45 minutes texting her about the concept of our shadows, then I check out YT and this is the first thing I see. Crazy!!
This is the second video I've watched with you, and you've done more to heal me in this last hour than three therapists and almost 6 years of pain. I have to face a lot, and honestly, I'm so diminished from what I used to be. I will continue to listen, and learn. And heal. Thank you more than words can say!
Highly suggest the O'Keefe Music Foundation video of kids perform 46&2
Also check out the Vitamin String Quartets version to anyone who has not seen that…. It’s pretty awesome 👍
Those kids did a phenomenal job, bassist and drummer killed it
Hell yeah
Yeah that is amazing what they did
Yeah those kids are amazing
Thank you for this. I always loved rockin out to this song. As well as many many more of Maynard’s work. Having recently come out of a really dark time that may have taken me out of the game early, I’m starting my own journey inward and out. Now not only do I love this song even more, it almost brought me to tears. Good stuff. Instant subscribe for sure.
Love these therapist reactions to Tool. What a great match up. Tool is music therapy for the world.
Whoa...so many people have just considered this "noise". I've considered this music as a blueprint for healthy life. It's helped me through really difficult times and been so insightful. Thanks for your video. This is so validating.
At first, I thought this was just going to be an generic reaction video but once she heard the "muscle memory" lyric the therapist kicked in. This was a great video and explanation of the song.
This is my jam. absolutely love this song. Great break down of it. Please keep doing Tool songs. They are all great.
When I hear the "crawling on my belly' line, it invokes a primordial, infantile, stealth maneuver. Picking scabs again to me means different degrees of trauma to the shadow skin, and re-opening/revisiting those wounds as part of addressing them and/or the patterns that cause repetition of them.
This was always my fav T00L song,but listening to this video days after my bestfriend,employer who is also my Father passed-
It really hit home,since this last year
I fell into alochol badly.
Even though it has only been days since he left,
I've had to do a 180
To keep the business & the dozens of families including my own who depended on what my Father has provided for them,both with his generosity,love & constant employment.
I'm shedding that skin to evolve
Good luck brother!

PERFECT CIRCLE
By and Down 💯🔥
@edwardmunoz7853 that song is bad ass
@@Matt-en1kn imo that's Maynard best vocals. Perfectly Haunting ❤️
@edwardmunoz7853 going to see them April 9th in Atlanta I hope they play this song
At the Tabernacle?
8:06 gurl, I'm shrouded in shadow thinking I'm seeing light.
But yeah, I love your dissection of amazingly written songs like as this one. You're might be the best interpreter (not only) of lyrics yet on YT. Keep 'em coming.
We currently already do have 46 chromosomes actually (sex chromosomes included). The “& 2” element represents the next step transcending our current level of biological & psychological evolution.
23 pairs is correct !
We have 44+2. This is in reference to 46+2. It's pretty simple.
@@thirdeye42012 Bingo.
True strength does not come from perfection. True strength is a result of moving forward aware of the apparent short falls and perceived weaknesses to grow into your strength. True strength is INVITING the parts of yourself that you fear and hate to be part of you, lest they control you.
Totally agree with this. Perfection is honestly a depressing concept. Something perfect can never be improved. We're forged from our experiences, positive and negative. Without being able to understand yourself, how could you possibly be able to make any kind of meaningful transformation?
Well said thanks
I like to think of life as a sinusoidal wave. How would anyone know what a happy, pleasant experience was if we didn't have experiences resulting in unhappy and unpleasant feelings? Everything is relative to everyone
You're doing something great here for people to understand everything that the musicians are trying to explain instead of everybody thinking they satanic or beyond their means keep up the great work peace
Just to clarify, in Jungian theory, it's less about shedding the shadow, and more about facing it, recognizing it, and accepting it into the conscious mind to be put in its proper context and used for good rather than remain hidden, covertly sabotaging from the subconscious.
So glad you covered this one! Over the past few years I've realized my need for understanding and integrating my shadow, and it's certainly been an interesting process.
I used to never be able to say no to anybody, and always tried to be nice to everybody, so I had to kind of learn how to be an asshole, for the sake of protecting my own space and time (and sanity).
This song is always a fun reminder and sing-along opportunity when it comes on.
For anyone intersted in Danny, check out my synced drum transcription of Forty Six & 2: ua-cam.com/video/NRRgYZJRICw/v-deo.html
A word to guide me in. A word. A word can make everything. A single word has changed so many places I’ve been .
This band saved my life
If you have time you should check out the band imminence the track is called continuum
Your Tool videos are really hitting me. I've always loved them and have seen them multiple times but I've been listening to a lot of other music. Having received a terminal diagnosis a couple years ago has really been pulling up a ton of darkness I've held onto that I thought I had released. With the way my behaviors are affecting my family and myself, I clearly just pushed all that crap down. These videos are fantastic and I'm going to do my own dive back into not only this band but my darkness. Thank you!
You need to see the kids that play this song. Excellent vid.
Your interpretation was beautiful and so accurate, really brought home to me how this song, and all Maynard does, has affected my journey over the last few years in particular. Made me cry really thinking about the stepping through I've been doing and what that really means. Thank you
I've been watching reactions to this song for a long time. One of my favorite songs ever. You're the first person I've seen understand it and explain it so well on the first listen. H is another great track from this album that I think goes well with this song.
Picking at my scabs is a metaphor for opening old wounds.
Parabol/Parabola are a must...... You will not be disappointed. Both songs one right after the other, the way it was meant to be. SPIRAL OUT🤟
Shadow work. Stepping out of the box and trapping on the old behavior patterns emergence - seeing it link to an emotional blockage - a shadow no longer useful now, recognizing this crippling reaction and yes resolving the situation adult to child and healing yourself. Cleaning up past wreckage.
Please keep going through their work. This is very fun to watch
I don't know if I've ever seen anyone bob and bounce and nod more to Tool and still miss every single actual beat. But I do love the commentary. 😂
So off beat lol, but love the reactions
It drives me nuts, lol.
Getting the Elaine Benes dance vibe here 😂
I believe you misspoke at 1:14, we currently have 46.... 23 pairs. Not 44.
44 and 2 is 46… 46 and 2 is 48
I caught that too, so I looked up the theory she referenced, and its about 46 emotions being created from the 2 main emotions, happiness and sadness. Neat video, but is she really a therapist?
The theory is based on Carl Jung's shadow theory, not emotions.@@scorrell1
Yes she says that we currently have 44. I think she just misspoke because the aboriginals have 42+2, 44, we have 44+2, 46. That's all I was pointing out @@LegitRavven
@@Mikeogill1 the “2” are the sex chromosomes, or the XX or XY I believe
To evolve you need to turn to face the pain, you cant run from it, there is no running from it, its your shadow it follows. Despite not meaning a physical shadow as we see it but more the darker side via pain and anguish it still follows until you face, and resolve it, to move through it to a higher self/state of being.
Wow, never thought this song had so much depth. Keep comming out with the banger videos! Thanks!
I have loved Tool since the '90's...they are world class musicians and just so behind everyone. Maynard is very intelligent and a lot of his lyrics go over my head. It is so awesome listening to you break him down and makes me even more amazed by his intellect!
Lateralus then The Grudge! That whole album helped get me through many really hard times and even helped prevent my $uicide back in the day. I still listen to it once a month or as needed when I find myself getting depressed again and forgetting how truly blessed I am.
I would love to see the video of Maynard critiquing this critique.
Thank you for listening to us Tool fanatics. PLEASE DO PUSHIT!!! Salival version. Maybe their most psychological song ever.
Pushit is an amazing song, but I agree the Salival version is so much more amazing than the original. However, Third Eye is more psychological, just really creepy.
I think third eye is about a DMT trip or something. Not sure how psychological it is.
Subscribed!! Keep the Tool reactions coming. My favorite band. Maynard’s lyrics have helped me through a lot of trauma. Have a good day from Maine 😊🤘🏻
Maynard has been an amazing gift. My son is 15 and just starting to explore Tool, APC, and Puscifer. The conversations his music evokes are always memorable.
Great song that can be interpreted personally and individually making it belong to the listener.The definition of true art.
I have been listening to Tool for 20+ years. I was in high school when this Album came out. All of their music is important too my life. This song has always been more affecting to me than every other in their catalog. You have nailed the description better than anyone I have heard, and put it into words better than I could. I find it somewhat ironic at this time in my life that I am doing exactly that: stepping out of my shadow. This song has always given me hope, and at a most prescient time in my life, your video came up in my feed. Thank you. I am the high school dropout that is the therapist for everyone I know.
Absolutely hv come full circle of my shadow finally!!!! Years of perseverance March 21 turned 52 and still diligently working but on the bright side of life!!!! Love your work nice lady!!!!
Here for the Tool reactions !
MAYNARD IS AN AMAZING GENIUS. TOOLS MUSIC HAS SAVED ME COUNTLESS TIMES !
From 9:35 beyond is exactly how I listen to Tool. Absolutely grooving on the instrumental, and deeply amazed when Maynard come with his words and voice.
I've been listening to Tool for over 25 years, I absolutely love your breakdowns of the lyrics! Keep up the the great work! ❤
As a fellow therapist and counselor I’m going to need you to listen to Pushit (Savial version) and Wings for Mary pt 1 and 2.
I love how all of the instruments come into perfect sync at the end......
This video has helped me realize why I am in this off state. I am currently stepping through my shadow. Thank you for posting this and helping me realize that. Hopefully I will see y'all on the other side!
On that note, I would like to request Pushit, by TOOL. I know you have a long list of requests, but thought I'd throw that out there.
Overnight you became my favorite UA-camr! Thank you so much for all your reactions and resources. 😁
I love Tool so much and I love your breakdown of this song!!!
I love your "stank face" when it really starts to jam. 😊
Stanky face and floppy arms.
Hilarious and adorable 😅
Love your reactions. Thanks for helping me feel less alone =)
This is the second time I watched and I'm really digging what you do and your channel. Thank you.
Like I've said before these guys are on another level and can't be touched 💯🔥 they'll make you rethink everything
I just want to say that I really love how you analyze all songs. Not just tool songs. Thank you.
oh man we going old school, i remember my first time hearing tool... turned me to all of the alternative rock/metal
Your explanation of the meaning behind the song title is probably one of the best in a nutshell explanations I've heard. Great job. Love the videos. Thank you!
Except she's wrong about the meaning
Great Tool song! One of my favorites, if I had to choose. Great analysis, too! Very impressive.
6:10 to 6:15. My reaction the first time I heard every TOOL album since 1993 and every time I see them live. ❤🔥🔥❤🔥🔥
Just stumbled on your channel being a Tool/any Maynard project fan.... But what over-rides your reaction is the "Tools" (yeah eye know) and the message you are offering...
Truly needed and blessed. I have subscribed now and and thank you for all you are doing.
This is one of my absolute favorite Tool songs to hear and just vibe through. Glad your on the Tool Journey.
React to Sober live from the 90's, it's such an incredible song and video as Manor overcomes his stage freight to give one hell of a performance that embodies a friend that was an addict.
If you already have reacted, well this is my first time finding you, and I like your reaction. Great insight into the mind and ourselves through your profession to music.
So thankful you listened to this one. Thank you. It's helped many of us over the years. Myself included.
Between NIN and TOOL, they were my therapy from the early 90s on ward. I never missed a concert that i could reasonably get to, never missed an album/cd release and i think Napster single handedly kept me stocked in mp3s. Lol. As someone who is still under psychiatric care several decades after discovering those amazing bands (among others) i adore this channel for seamlessly blending 2 things so dear to me, mental health and music. Much love from deep east Texas. Oh and try listening to "The Passenger" by Deftones feat. Maynard. Itll change your life!😮
What part of deep east Texas? Just curious. East Texas is my neighbor. I'm across the lake.
To all you therapist's out there THANK YOU!!!
@heartsupport Just recently subbed to your channel and really finding it helpful. Long story short - In the far East almost 20 years ago, I had a clinical near death experience caused by exertional sunstroke.
Years of undiagnosed PTSD ensued and the experience triggered catatonic bipolar. As a drummer first and foremost I've been so inspired by Tool ever since Lateralus was released..
Over more recent years, as I've become a singer song writer too, I can appreciate them even more. They are all just too good! They've helped me in so many ways, countless times. Now my PTSD is quite mild, I deal with it more constructively but the collective battle for humanity continues.... there are so many layers to explore with Tool's music and it was very cool to see you get so into it and I felt you explained it psychologically quite clearly.
If I was to sum up 46 and 2? I'd say it's about facing anything that is bothering you as openly as possible... coz ignoring it etc is only gonna make matters worse. The shadow is akin to a vice, you can try to avoid but you'll ALWAYS pay the price.... much like I paid the price despite having medics save my life.... all those years ago. Primarily I HAD to return to the land of the living to meet twin soul. That's another story entirely! It's so true about what you say having to face the past. I'm quite into Buddhism ☸️ and Buddhists often say we need to be present and in the moment. That is quite true and it is the ultimate goal, however with PTSD by its very nature, it keeps pulling you back to the past until you fully understand it. Many thanks and I look forward to 👀 more similar videos.
Saw this via youtube recommendation, so I clicked. I love your passion, facial reactions, dancing, and explanations. I quickly dove into your channel thinking you need to do Sleep Token reactions. There's one! see ya over there.
We are glad you found us! Come on in and see you over there!

Saw them twice in November. Very intense and professional
I saw them in Montreal in November :) made a piece of my soul feel complete ❤
This is my favorite song of theirs of all time. Watching them perform it live is a core memory.
My hands down favorite Tool track
Stepping To The Shadow. Brilliant!
Such a great, concrete message.
Feel like I will remember this every time I listen to this song for the next 30+ years now lol. Don't get me wrong, I already LOVE this song, but now I can kinda smirk and have even more positivity come from it by just remember your interpretation/opinion.
Good stuff. Love the spreading of positivity. ❤
Can't go wrong when listening to a Tool song!
Holy...
Forty Six & 2 is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's one of the few songs that are actually "deep" with a purpose.
I've watched videos of dozens of therapists and psychologist trying to interpret and break down its meaning but this is by far my favorite.
Judith would blow your mind lyrically and musically.
One of my super faves. I did a deep dive into this psychology back in 2000 or so, prompted by this song ❤
Every tool and apc song can be therapeutic.
The sound of a word. The way it’s spoken
I love how she is vibing to the song! ;D TOOl is one of the best bands in my opinion.
So in love with her reactions
I’m glad that you checked this one out. Good stuff.
There’s definitely something to Jung’s “Shadow” ideas. 🤘🏴☠️
The stepping through my shadow line really reminds me of the mantra from Dune about Fear
Great video. I have never listened to the lyrics that closely before and this was some great insight.
I feel like this analysis helped give me a great tool to help improve myself and break my own self sabotaging habits.
Honestly, ALL of Lateralus is an awesome thing to listen to and think about. I hope you do more Tool.
