@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. ✌️❤️

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. ❤

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.

The next step of evolution would likely result in human DNA being reorganized into 46 autosomes and two sex chromosomes. Carl Jung had an idea of this Collective unconscious, that all of us, as human's, shared a hereditary framework of unconscious perception, if you will. One of those archetypes was the Shadow. " The shadow is our dark side, containing those things that we have repressed or ignored for one reason or another. It usually manifests to us in dreams as an archetypal figure who is dark and ominous. Just as the persona is that part of us that we want to present to the world, so the shadow contains those things that we want to hide from the world, and from ourselves. This dark side of ourselves must be confronted and accepted, at least in part, as the first step in the individuation process. The need to acknowledge and accept our shadow in order to become a whole and complete person."

This song inspired me to study Carl Jung and his psychology regarding the shadow self.

No. Jung never sought to 'shed the skin'. The shedding of the skin speaks to the disintegration of the lines between conscious and subconscious. There is no 'throwing out' the unconscious. There is only INTEGRATING it. If the shadow is not integrated, you have succumbed to the ego.

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.

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.

Picking at my scabs is a metaphor for opening old wounds.

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.

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.

One of the few songs to deliver on a promise of art and entertainment every single time i hear it. It ends nowhere near how it started and i feel like I've been on a journey of discovery.

You have to find a live recording of them. Tool live is almost a religious experience. Sober and Forty-Six and Two live is... *chefs kiss* perfection.

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.

It is a powerful TOOL for gaining a greater understanding of human struggles and overcoming darkness while moving up and forward. It just plain rocks yes- but it is powerful in another way also. There are things shared in the music, vulnerabilities and rawness that can help you share more of yourself so you may gain more self awareness and shed fear. You must be willing of course.....they are just a really great band. Maynard is a really smart and self aware person as are his band mates I would imagine. This music is a gift for humanity in my opinion, really powerful stuff.

Loving the Tool vids. The Grudge would be a good one for your space.

Please keep going through their work. This is very fun to watch

6:10 to 6:15. My reaction the first time I heard every TOOL album since 1993 and every time I see them live. ❤‍🔥🔥❤‍🔥🔥

I was a lab tech having completed the same curriculum that doctors have to take their first 2 years of medical school. You are incorrect. We have 23 pairs of chromosomes, XX for women and XY for men, for a total of 46 chromosomes. People with Down's Syndrome have 47.

Right. The song implies the extra chromosome will get its pair initiating an evolutionary leap.

Hands down the best explanation of 46&2.I understand now 🤘

15 years of anxiety, see shadows before I see light. Dark places begin and end the norm... The only thing that relieves everything, rock and metal music! ❤

Here for the Tool reactions !

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

Running/destroying from relationships is my pattern and my shadow is a toxic relationship and childhood PTSD....and figuring out the puzzle pieces is the hard part

This song to me represents a microcosm of what everything Tool is about at the macro level. To me, Tool's discography (from a lyrical perspective, but the music does also support) represents the entire journey of enlightenment. Their first album is just raw emotion and anger and then as time goes on Maynard documents his journey of overcoming that lower state of consciousness and how it no longer serves him, all the way from raw emotion and anger to a state of enlightenment. It's incredible art.

Every tool and apc song can be therapeutic.

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!

We are glad you found us! Come on in and see you over there! -The Video Editor -HeartSupport Hold Fast

I’m glad that you checked this one out. Good stuff. There’s definitely something to Jung’s “Shadow” ideas. 🤘🏴‍☠️

MAYNARD IS AN AMAZING GENIUS. TOOLS MUSIC HAS SAVED ME COUNTLESS TIMES !

Honestly, ALL of Lateralus is an awesome thing to listen to and think about. I hope you do more Tool.

I love how all of the instruments come into perfect sync at the end......

OK you got me 😂did anyone else get fooled by the siren in the background and look in the rear view or is it just me😊

Tool has been my favorite band since the mid 90's. I know Maynard James Keenan is a lyrical genius but, I never really tried to look up what his lyrics mean. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you cause you really break down what they mean which makes Tool songs for me that much better. Thank you.

A great reaction and analysis to one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Notice that the main theme at the beginning of the song is played by the Bass, but at the end of the song it is taken over by the guitar- That is to say; It has evolved into the higher register notes. Everything about this song absolutely rocks!

I've been listening to Tool for over 25 years, I absolutely love your breakdowns of the lyrics! Keep up the the great work! ❤

Something that comes to mind after your review is the idea of “Character”. When I was, 12 or so, I heard somewhere that “Character is who you are, even if nobody is around”. Reflecting on it now after this review, I think that only you have the power to review the “character” that is you, like if you were watching/reading this character your whole life in the fullest context anyone could ever have. When we experience characters in shows and stuff, we only see a small fraction of their life experiences, but we have our whole lives to reflect on and review. The perspective of the singer in this song, following the “character” metaphor, has reviewed his character and finds it is not living up it a fuller potential, and that potential he’s idealizing takes a lot of Virtue, actual effort and actions. “Picking scabs” is sometimes an Anxiety outlet, and it’s something I’ve done before when racked with uncertainty, particularly when it comes to facing that I haven’t been nearly as virtuous as I could have been this time. It’s crushing sometimes, and I’ve often felt that I don’t “have what it takes to step through”. Thank you for revealing the meaning behind a song I have listened to for a long time. I’m looking forward to your next review! (I hopes it’s “The Grudge”. “Where the grudge like a crown”)

Wow, never thought this song had so much depth. Keep comming out with the banger videos! Thanks!

I love Tool so much and I love your breakdown of this song!!!

Great Tool song! One of my favorites, if I had to choose. Great analysis, too! Very impressive.

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.

ty for taking effort to understand, welcome and enjoy the journey ♥️

So thankful you listened to this one. Thank you. It's helped many of us over the years. Myself included.

You’re really cool. Maynard has been on my playlist forever… it’s breath of fresh air to hear your point of view.
