    Album: Ænima
    Released: 1996
    Lyrics:
    Join in my
    Join in my child
    And listen, digging through
    My old numb shadow
    My shadow's shedding skin
    I've been picking scabs again
    I'm down, digging through
    My old muscles looking for a clue
    I've been crawling on my belly
    Clearing out what could've been
    I've been wallowing in my own confused
    And insecure delusions
    For a piece to cross me over
    Or a word to guide me in
    I want to feel the changes coming down
    I want to know what I've been hiding
    In my shadow
    My shadow
    Change is coming through my shadow
    My shadow
    Shedding skin
    I've been picking
    My scabs again
    Join in my
    Join in my child
    My shadow's
    Closer to meaning
    I've been crawling on my belly
    Clearing out what could've been
    I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
    Insecure delusions
    I wanna feel the change consume me
    Feel the outside turning in
    I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
    Cleansing I've endured in
    My shadow
    My shadow
    Change is coming
    Now is my time
    Listen to my muscle memory
    Contemplate what I've been clinging to
    Forty six and two ahead of me
    I choose to live and to
    Grow, take and give and to
    Move, learn and love and to
    Cry, kill and die and to
    Be paranoid and to
    Lie, hate and fear and to
    Do what it takes to move through
    I choose to live and to
    Lie, kill and give and to
    Die, learn and love and to
    Do what it takes to step through
    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
    Step into the shadow
    Forty six and two are just ahead of me

LCD sound system is a way better show than tool by a mile. Maynard spent half the time complaining about politics. He’s a cunt and so are his fans.

      It sounds crazy and a lot of scientific people don’t believe this theory, but it’s an interesting theory that whatever triggers you and other people is a psychological projection
      For example, as a kid, I was terrified of terrorist, cutting peoples heads off and drug cartels, cutting peoples heads off, and it made me so angry that I was so proud of Americans fight terrorist, and Nazis
      However, that is psychopathic to watch my fellow human beings, get blown to bits and find pleasure in it
      One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter n my country also is by far from innocent
      I used to look at Nazi Germany I get terrified how they can be so evil and have any remorse.
      However I became a vegan last year because I put myself in the animals shoes and looked at humanity. We are also terrifying monsters.
      I always don’t like people who are narcissistic and manipulate and psychopathic, but I cannot judge because so many times in my life and your life we might’ve done the same thing many times
      This theory is you like have a split personality? It’s your dark side for lack a better word.
      The shadow. it is in your subconscious according to the theory and some people actually think radically like it’s an actual person that you have to deal with, but it’s not necessarily evil if you learn how to talk to or work with it is supposed to bring you balance and wholeness and understanding

    Today iam 46 with 2. Standing on a threshold, wedding shoes, 46 & 2. The joining of one, releasing the son sun waves and rings joined as one. 46 and 2, sow far ahead of you.
    In the release of thee fertility and the seed.
    Running swimming through the hue-man race again. 46 and 2. Born before now born again ...Pulling shadows crew bursting reflecting the light of life surrounding you in the shadows counting 47 through 52. Life far behind and far ahead of you. 46 and 2. Tool put to hand and to use, worthless until worked over through and through Crafts of men produce the fruit. Married to music just as words to numbers 46 and 2. Love and truth.

    God has been dealing with all my early wounds and out of the pit of being a purely empathetic being He has reveled His Shadow side to me, on my behalf towards those who would seek to crush and destroy me.
    With that revelation, He has also shown me that I too have a Shadow…and I have it for MY OWN protection while I navigate within this world as both an empath and a fierce warrior.
    He is so GOOD to me…to us.
    My many thanks to Maynard and the boys for this AMAZING song.!🔥

      "Forty Six & 2" by Tool is a song with complex and metaphorical lyrics that delve into themes of personal evolution, human consciousness, and self-transformation. The song draws from psychological concepts, particularly the theories of Carl Jung and ideas about human evolution.
      The lyrics suggest a desire for personal growth and change, aiming for a higher state of consciousness and evolution. The title "Forty Six & 2" refers to the human genetic structure-humans typically have 46 chromosomes, but the reference to "2" implies a hypothetical additional pair of chromosomes, symbolizing a possible next stage of human evolution.
      The song speaks to the idea of shedding limitations or negative aspects of oneself to reach a higher level of awareness or a better version of oneself. Lines such as "My shadow's shedding skin and I've been picking scabs again" and "See my shadow changing, stretching up and over me" imply a process of shedding old layers, embracing change, and growing beyond existing limitations.
      The lyrics also contain references to transformational experiences and the concept of embracing the unknown or the darker aspects of oneself to evolve. There are mentions of Jungian concepts like shadow integration and the alchemical process of transformation.
      Overall, the song's lyrics are open to interpretation and are rich in metaphorical language, drawing upon psychological and evolutionary concepts to explore themes of personal growth, self-discovery, and the desire to transcend one's current state of being.

    This is about trans humanism. People better wake up, repent, believe the gospel and search and study the scriptures- specifically Daniel and Revelation (KJV).
    Revelation 9:6
    “And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.”
