It's like the line from Alice in Chains (which still grinds my gears because I had put it in a poem a couple years before their song, but I digress...🤣) "I think I think too much." It's in the overthinking that we discover our own thoughts but in doing so, we also discover that our thoughts are what keeps us from discovering our true self. It also can be tied into a phrase I use a lot - the more I learn, the more I realize know nothing.

I interpret this as him singing about the importance of human curiosity. We always want an answer to things unknown(ie. New experiences). Instead of going in blind with curiosity(the innate urge to push the envelope, cross the line) and use our intuition to understand a new experience, we tend to overthink and overanalyze things with logic beforehand. If we only thought and analyzed everything new to us, we wouldn't have curiosity. Without curiosity, we would miss out on new and random experiences. Without experiencing new and random things, we won't have a developed intuition to help us make sense of new things. If we don't have the ability to make sense of new things, we would always fear the unknown. With fear blocking us from approaching the unknown, humanity would no longer advance. Embrace the random. Ride the spiral of your curiosity into the unknown, and keep riding it to the end. Maintain a healthy balance between curiosity and logic. Too much curiosity is a danger to the body. Too much logic is a danger to the soul. What's great is that there is no wrong interpretation to this song. However this song is taken, it is open for all of us to interpret through our own lenses...

The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence. It starts from one, the next number is one, and the next number being two, creates the 2+1 which is three, continuing in this mathematical progression. That's how they found the chord progression. It began linking up to the Fibonacci sequence." The syllables Maynard sings in the first verse follow the first six numbers in the pattern, ascending and descending in the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3. "Black (1), then (1), white are (2), all I see (3), in my infancy (5). 🤘🏼"Spiral 😵💫 Out"🤘🏼

Interesting little take on this song. I think it references alchemy and the hermetic idea “as above so below” referring to the fractal nature spiraling all of creation from its main pattern. Also, the beginning from black (the void) to white (the light/stars) and then if it is also alchemy he is referring to or other esoteric ideas… they say air and fire were the first two elements to appear (air is usually seen as yellow, fire is usually seen as red).

Music in general, but absolutely with TOOL, is best listened to with quality headphones. So many nuances missed without them. Also the spiral referred to in the song can be visualized in a graph of the Fibonacci sequence that actually is a spiral shape. It is represented not only in nature in many forms (think of a conch shell) but also metaphorically as you interpreted as journeying spiritually as you grow… SPIRAL OUT, KEEP GOING!!! 🤘🏻

You mentioned the Fibonacci sequence appearing in nature, one of the ways it does that is through the "golden spiral," which is a certain spiral ratio found in a lot of places in nature. So when he sings about following the spiral later on, it's that.

The first part, about vision and colors as an infant, is describing his viewpoints as a simpler mind, but then as he grows, his vision becomes more complex, until he's able to see a far larger and more complex universe than he ever knew, and he knows that if he keeps pushing his perception out, spiraling outward, he will become more and more aware of the true nature of the universe, and himself.

The band is also using the FS. Infancy to the point you grasp what you are actually seeing. Consciousness, awareness. Think how far back you can remember 2, 3, 4? We are all the same yet different. We over think it being so small in comparison to the vastness. Carl Jung is one of Maynards influences. The greatness about tool is they set a theme giving the listener the chance to fill in the gaps. I picture a baby in a crib reaching up at their mobile as it spins. Not knowing what their eyes are seeing, but they want to grab it.

I'm not a rock/metal listener in general, but I've always liked Sabbath and Zeppelin for the blues influence that was bubbling. Then I heard Tool - specifically the Lateralus album - and my gut and heart was immediately flung to my favorite musical place: That butterfly feeling in your stomach of joy and excitement... the almost immediate acknowledgement that this music is for me. Hearing Tool for the first time was as special as a very long list of artists from a broad spectrum (basically anything but "pop" music at this point), but then the lyrics start to permeate and pervade your thoughts and it's... wonderful? Yes. I think I chose the right word. There are many words that you could list and group together as more specific to one particular inflection, but I think a word like "wonderful" captures (for me) the whole joy and afterglow. P.S. I always spend some of my free time with my record collection, and I can quite happily go from Autechre, to Etta James, to Tool, to Boccherini, to Aphex Twin, to Django Reinhardt. Hell, I'll throw on some cheesy but dope Carmen Miranda joint just because. I don't care. I just don't care!

However my friend, allow me an advice. TOOL should be listened to with headphones. There are so many overlapping layers of sound that years later I still discover something new every now and then. Unless you have a super professional recording studio rig, you'll pretty much miss half the song without headphones. This is not my opinion... Anyone who knows the band well can confirm this. Try it on your own and listen to a TOOL track you already know. With headphones it will sound completely different. You will practically realize that you have never really listened to it yet.

The song is pronounced “latter-al-us” and just like all their other songs, the band makes the music first, then sends it to Maynard who writes the lyrics to complete the songs. To me, Tool is its own genre and they are indeed an experience. They also have one of, if not, the best drummer alive in Danny Carey. You should check out his drum cam video of Pneuma to see how amazing Danny is at the drums. Tool is a trip.
