I know very little about sacred geometry, but I do not doubt it's signifigance in the writing of music. I actually never listened to Tool until this past year around the time my wife served me with divorce papers. Anyway, lateralus was the first album I got and have since aquired them all. Personally, after listening and studdying the lyrics of all of the bands work, There is an undeniable core theme to the music. Without going on forever, trying to explain what it means to me and why, I'll just say that it has caused me to examine my entire life and how I became the person that I am. I survived an abusive childhood, and when I hear songs like jimmy and pushit, what is being comunicated through the words is obvious. For me, lateralus is all about delving deep into the emotional body to feel and heal the wounds of the past. "Choosing to be here in this body". "black and white are all I see in my infancy" to me represents how I was taught to shut myself off from my emotions as a child. Creating undue damage. "red and yellow(anger and fear) then came to me reaching out to me. lets me see." Only when I allow myself to feel and grieve pain from the past can I heal and move forward. "I'll move to heal as soon as pain allows so we can reunite and both move on together".Flame me if you want, but that is the "holy gift".Reclaiming who you really are.
