46 and 2 is the evolution of mankind in referance to the amount of chromosones. The part about the shadow is a Jungian construct to do with the self realisation. The song is about moving from what you are into a new being of enlightenment

totally disagree. yes, lyrics are very important to a TOOL song understanding, but listen through it with out lyrics so you can extract the emotional response the music creates for you. learn the time changes and your personal response to the musical drifts. then add to all that the lyrical meaning so you can add the meaning to your already built emotional understanding of the music. ive found that an early look into the lyrics hampers the emotional extraction of the music.feeling

@@egratudo1974 I think any tool fan understands the music is a important part of the art, but for a first time listener, I still think that it's better to see the lyrics while still hearing the music. I think it is easier to cope with and brings a sense of the atmosphere they are trying to create. And as we all know it can be a little difficult at times to hear some of the lyrics but lyric videos allow the listener to not have to strain to hear the lyrics at the same time be able to enjoy the music. But that's just my opinion.

I hope you two are ready for a journey because Tool never disappoints! You're interpretation is interesting, I hadn't heard one like it for this song before and you definitely have the right idea. As many have stated already, the general consensus is that it's about evolving into and becoming a better person and uses chromosomes and Jungian theory as an analogy but seeing it as a middle aged person reflecting on their life choices and wanting to do better works just as well. Tool is a different kind of band, there just isn't anyone like them and I really hope that you continue to check them out. They fall under the "Progressive Rock" category and make use of a lot of odd time signatures, polyrhythms, jazz influenced and tribal styles of drumming and cryptic lyrics in most of their work. Some really good second reaction choices would be "Lateralus", "Aenima" or "Parabol" & "Parabola" (listened to together...trust me). Cheers!

Yep, absolutely this. The kids are amazing.

This song is about evolution. It's about aknowledging and confronting your "darkside" (the Shadow which is a Jungian concept). And it uses references to genetics. 46 is the number of chromosomes in a human cell, organised in pairs... so to change and evolve you have to add another pair (at least metaphorically), hence "forty-six & 2". It's a very deep song like most Tool songs. Also... I've seen many people react to this song and they're always puzzled about the title... Not to brag, but I remember buying this album back in the day and hearing this song for the first time and once I heard it I thought "oh 46 like the number of chromosomes"... And I'm no science guy.

Down the Tool rabbit hole ya go

Maynard is a philosopher read the lyrics, he's not afraid to say what others won't, I suggest you read ALL of their songs and lyrics, one of a kind, all great at musicians! TOOL FAN forever!

The beautiful thing about tool is that a majority of their songs are very profound and often left to the listeners interpretation. Definitely need to watch the lyric videos and such to truly grasp the meaning to the songs as Maynard James Keenan (lead singer) intended. Not sure you guys are ready for the very profound nature of Lateralus so I'd recommend Aenima or perhaps Vicarious as they are for the most part relatively easy to understand lyrically 🤙

Man has gone crazy trying to figure out a Tool song, do some more.

I saw them at Lollapalooza in the 90’s promoting Undertow.. 20 years later I have tickets to the San Antonio show in February 2022.. Can’t wait to see Danny Carey again!! A true master at his craft..

Someone mentioned the meaning of Forty Six and Two having to do with chromosomes. Humans currently have 22 chromosomes known as Autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes X and Y. The behind the numbers is the hope that by evolving as human beings the natural progression of life is that by attaining 2 more chromosomes we would evolve into being better people, I believe Maynard is speaking metaphorically as he almost always does, but he does hope that the human race sees the error of our ways and improve ourselves or we are all doomed.

Maynard hated being called a front man which is reflective in Tool’s emphasis on the rest of the band. That’s why he’s so quiet at times. These guys are brilliant

I Just simply love watching these TooL rookies realize how fu- - - - g awsome TooL really is. Making you seriously rethink and contemplate the musical path that you traveled in life. Please don't try to figure out the meaning behind TooL songs after your very first listen. Its similar to writing a book report on a book that you only just read the introduction to.

Tool army, checking in

The Army Will Come~

I didn’t read comments to see if someone pointed it out but Tool sometimes is hard to hear the lyrics but it’s because we’re used to how other bands are. When they mix their sound they usually have vocals at a higher volume so you can focus on the lyrics. Maynard doesn’t care too much about people focusing on him. They intend to have vocals low to show and play that all members and instruments are just as important as each other. Tool has great lyrics but Tool has always been about enjoying the music as a whole.

I think you guys would love "The Pot" by TOOL. and about the meaning of their songs.. you'll probably won't get it at first they don't usually talk about everyday stuff like most bands do. just a hint. The song title is referencing chromosomes actually. XD

More TOOL! TOOL ARMY will come.

Buckle up, you're in for a really special ride with Tool!

Welcome to the world of Tool. Basically put, we have 46 chromosomes, the +2 is the two extra chromosomes that propel us from the intelligence we have as humans to the ultimate spiritual enlightenment and higher sense of self. The song is about abandoning what was to achieve something greater

I've been waiting for Tool :) I like your interpretation of the song. I hope the next Tool reaction you do is one you find interesting (Title, artwork, etc.). You really can't go wrong with anything they have in their discography. I'll watch any and all of them.

Oh to have that first experience again! As deep and intricate as the lyrics are, the music is on another level. Nothing like it! Enjoy the ride!

An I hearing things? This sounds a bit sped up. When timing is as crucial to a band as it is for Tool, when it’s off it is noticeable.

Honestly, not having lyrics to read, you both did a really good job of trying to figure out the meaning.

I bought this the day it was released, still my favourite song ever written.

Don't let anyone tell you that lyrics are essential. Lol, when this came out, there were no official lyrics available.

You don’t listen to Tool you experience them! Check out Tool, “Sober” Live 1994. You’ll find as you discover this band that it is not a rabbit hole but a worm hole and the journey of discovery is forever changing! Good luck on your journey sorry I can’t send you a link I’m old Metal/Rock head don’t know how! Stay Safe Rock On!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Find your own interpretation of the song and you are right. There is no right or wrong answer. It is a piece of art they made which has different meanings to others.

Another pair of future tool fans. Love seeing it happen. :D Strap in for the ride. This rollercoaster is eternal

Enjoy the TOOL rabbit hole.

The real reaction should be when they read the comments and find out that it's actually about esoteric concepts of reaching the next level of humanity by getting two more chromosomes

This song could be about Byedone, Harris and Pelosi. The Shadow could be in reference to the Shadow government that half of America thinks is running the country. The twist: the song was written in 1996. Something to put in your pipe.
