Hands down my favorite Tool song it is just amazing on so many levels. I want to point out to you though a view of things involving the "Swing on the Spiral" lyric. The Fibonacci syllable count he uses... Black(1) then(1) white are(2) all I see(3) in my infancy(5) red and yellow then came to be(8) reaching out to me(5) lets me see(3) there is(2) so(1) much(1) more and(2) beckons me(3) to look through to these(5) infinite possibilities(8) as below so above and beyond I imagine(13) drawn outside the lines of reason(8) push the envelope(5) watch it bend(3). So the Fibonacci sequence he is using there lyrically is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 8, 5, 3. Which is basically "swinging" back and forth on the spiral not endlessly spiraling out. To me it references the fact that the further you go into the unknown the scarier it gets so you pull back from it. He wants to spiral out and keep going but he is only human so he does reach his limits and he stops and retreats back to the known, but he does eventually try again pushing a little further each time. So he is swinging on the spiral growing a little more with every swing because first it stops at 8 before going back, but the next time it reaches 13 the next step forward. That is just another way to look at it and how I interpreted it.

@Machete__Squad

Yes the goal is to embrace the unknown, reaching out to it. However I feel the swinging reference is there because even if his plans and what he wants is to embrace the unknown he is still human, hence the line and still be a human and sometimes what you want and/or aspire to be is more difficult than expected and things are easier said than done. My interpretation doesn't contradict that the goal is to embrace the unknown and grow/evolve it is expanding on it, to say that once you do embrace it sometimes you bite off more than you can chew so you retreat to learn and grow from the experience, and then go further next time you try. Like I said though that is just one interpretation for all I know you could be completely right and I am way off the only person that really knows is Maynard.

Jon Connor I know I'm right. How's that? You can't fear the unknown to reach the level he's speaking of, why? You only reach it after you lose all fear and embrace the chaos, embrace the unknown, the desire is all that matters, the desire for knowledge and wholeness is all that matters when you get to that level.

Quantum mechanics proves there are more dimensions than we can currently perceive, just entertain the idea that inside our brains there are eye or ear like organs that can sense other dimensions and hallucinogens or meditation allows you to control your mind and the minds of others.

Esp for Reflection song just goes from left to right feels like you're spinning

"To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human. With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds And open wide to suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. Whatever will bewilder me." My favorite lyrics of all time. Words to live by.

I love Lateralus !!! Pretty much the message here is to not live your life in a straight linear path, go beyond and do things lateralus'ly. Keep growing, Keep expanding, keep learning, think outside the box, go above and beyond, push the envelope, go where no man has been before and so on. Love the channel, glad to see more Tool fans on the KZread!!!

Your guys love for tool is so refreshing. They changed my life. And I love seeing people experience it.

Seeing you gus rock out at the end made my day!!! Keep having fun and spiral out!!!!👊👊👊👊

AHHHHHHH Absolutely my favorite reaction from both of you!!! Seeing both of you in that middle part rock-out together was to me the most you two have enjoyed a song together, loved it!!!

I am so loving this album review! You guys are great!

I absolutely love your guys reactions to this. I'm a long time tool fan, coming across them on the second stage at Loolapolooza 93 in Vancouver. I think your reactions perfectly illustrate the primal and emotional that is the foundation of Tool music. Throughout the song, Sori, is listening intently closing her eyes feeling the emotional aspect while still at times connecting to the primal with head bobs etc. Vin, is touching the primal mostly with moments of emotional introspection. The best is at the end when you both descend into the primal power of what you've heard and the powerful emotion that it provokes. Love it, and hope to see you at a Tool, Perfect Circle or Pusifer show sometime in the future.

Ten years ago, this song planted the thought processes that I truly believe saved my life. Thanks Tool ❤️

The whole "Spiral out, keep going..." part makes me feel energetic and full of life. It's great. Loved your thoughtful and engaged reaction! Subbed!

I really like you two! you don't stop the songs so far that i have seen and i really appreciate you guys feeling it first and then talking about it after. this is a really good choice i feel for your channel. awesome job

LOL That was GREAT! I can't tell you how many times I have moved is back to listen again....wait till you watch them in one of the hundreds of live videos on here.

Been watching your Lateralus reviews in order...you two are so awesome. People like you give hope to humanity :) (deep, eh?). BTW...LOVE how you two rock out to some TOOL songs. Vin...for a newby, you are so in tune with the lyrics. Very impressed. Lastly...you two HAVE TO catch TOOL live. That is pretty much a life changing experience.

Sori...seeing that Gorgeous smile peek out during this song and seeing how you really feel it all the way down to your soul makes me love you even more!! And...yes, Vin is TOTALLY a Tool fan! Lol

My all time favourite song off my all time favourite album. Thank you so much for this!

i love it when vin stops and rewinds back to that epic drop in the song. Emitting such a profoundness through words and music. and emotion.

I love how yall were really getting into it towards the end

Vin and Sori its awesome when someone actually breaks it down. Top of your game and doing nothing but getting better. Thanks guys. I hadn't realized how much i missed some of these albums until your reactions. Its not just hearing it. Its feeling

I just found your channel tonight, and it's a very lonely night for me. You're keeping me some great company, and thank you for that. I've recently got into reaction videos, but you guys spend so much of your time ACTUALLY reacting! You don't just talk for 30 seconds after the song, ya know? I know if I ever meet y'all in person, I'd immediately connect with you. Keep doing what you're doing. As always, peace and love.

I love the fettuccine sequence it's so tasty

Vin's reaction is gold. I want more of this passion!

I love how you jumped right into the song ^^

EPIC!!! also, agree totally with hearing "that part" again! The best part of an all ready badass song!!! Love it! Keep rocking Tool heads! Love this channel!

The way these guys break down Tool is so informing. They are so great at breaking down the meaning of this song and use their own interpretation to explain it. Just great people.

I like your reactions because of your in depth analysis of the lyrics. Well done.

ive listened to this song hundreds of times....and get chills each time..Love everything about the song!!!

Have to say ive just stumbled on your videos because I am a huge mjk fan so tool and apc mostly. I really enjoyed seeing you both fall into the different patterns of the music. Sori just zones out the way I do and seeing vin jam out to the last bit twice was cool. Its a fantastic album.

I saw them live in 02 on the Lateralus tour, this song live alone is a outer body experience, my body the next day was like I was involved in a car crash. Tool live is the best way to experience them. They are even more genuine then in studio, they sometimes improvise their material which most times is better.

Go Vin!, get it in you! Spiral out! Keep going!

You guys are awesome! Absolutely agree with your insight!

Great reaction,this song gives me goosebumps every time,weep like a widow,I believe the undertone of this song is Maynard wanting so much to connect with something higher than himself,the desire to really live since he is so heartbroken about life in general.theres a spiritual emptiness within that he wants to fill but nothing in this world satisfies it, so he takes it upon himself to feel the truth through music, to take his intuition beyond this realm.

This has been my favorite song of all time, of any genre, of any timeline, ever. since I’ve first listened to it.

These two showed they were human. I respect that. Also, a great break down of this masterpiece from their unique viewpoints. Loved it. Please do not stop.

Their brilliance comes from their musical ability to paint such a picture for me. I can feel the music and listen to the lyrics and tune into something I cant feel with anything else. Other artists can do this but the feeling Tool gives me is undeniably unique, it feels brilliant.

Love you guys!

Thanks for the reaction. This is my favourite TooL track from my favourite TooL album.

Hi,I have been following TOOL since the beginning of the 90's. I am a disabled veteran but I have seen and felt Maynard and TOOL go from this one point to another and always stayed a musical phenomenon. I felt a lot of spirituality wanting to break through!

There's something tremendously satisfying about seeing someone exposed to something very familiar and cherished and sharing that experience with them. It makes me happy to see people focus and celebrate the common things that bring us joy but at the same time to be able to hear a point of view that doesn't perfectly align with their own but yet find merit in it. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more good stuff from you!

not that i mind that you usually stop a song for comments but this song was SO worth listening every bit the way through with no stops i love this song

This song might be deeper than you guys think. When Maynard sings "As below, so above and beyond", this is a Hermetic Principle: The Principle of Correspondence. "As below so above, as within so without". Reminds you something? "On earth as it is in heaven". Yes, it is the same thing, basically. There are seven Hermetic Principles. It's really interesting.

An open mind is the only way to experience that which we are unfamiliar, curious and unaware of... to see the wonders beyond our minds and hearts whether it be unknown knowledge to spiritual connection to a peaceful center in this chaotic life that we all share... staying within our predefined boxes of the reality we grow to expect as the norm is a close minded path so break outside the lines and experience the unknown and all the possibilities that we may not even think exists... Much love!!!

“You’ve gotta feel there is some order out there” that really spoke to me.

This song is absolutely amazing

I remember when I first heard this song. I literally couldn't believe my ears 😁🤘🖤🔥🎸☠️💯

I was watching your video, and I drifted off into a new way of imagining the way people may appear if they could fly. Like ice skating on air...

It's so interesting to watch people who are listening to the same music at the same time and how they individually react to it. For so much of the song, Vin tends to fall into the more stereotypical, hardcore mode with the furrowed brow and the headbanging/fistpumping to the beat of the music. Contrast that with Sori and how she closes her eyes and seems to feel a different part of the music that's playing at the same time with her head moving slowly side to side. To me, that's feeling the same music two completely different ways, but neither is right or wrong. It's finding that thing that moves you and latching onto it. So cool that music allows us to do that without each of us feeling like we need to convert each other to our way of thinking or feeling.

You know how when two violinists or singers do a beautiful harmony together and it just has that perfect pitch or buzz to the ear?
