I think that Maynard is again speaking about inner-self. Growth. Things in life are simple, sometimes too simple and then we see that thing or things that opens our eyes to a little more. This leads to question ourselves and our environment. With this in mind, we must not let ourselves take it so far that we miss out on opportunities and lose touch with our own intuitions. Like in all things there must be balance. The light of the moon when it's dark and the shade of a tree when it's bright. It's obvious that Maynard is embracing these feelings or flags (red & yellow being colors to caution or alert.) that come up causing him to question and grow. He is embracing his will and believes that it will cause him to encounter more in life. Take things for what they are, not what they appear to be....

to me this song represents a look at industrialisation and how technology could take over the human race. the title of the song "Lateralus" is broken down to "Lateral-Us" like neffe mentioned. "Lateral" means side of, and so the title can be named "Side Of Us". This song is one of their very best.

It is a song about spirituality. I donīt know wether, Maynard is practicing some meditational things, or realized these things through drugs, but most terms can be found in Zen-Buddhism. -Black and white are Synonims for Duality (Yin and Yang) -a main aspect in zen is:"you canīt experience the world in a whole, rationally" -"the truth is beyond the words" or "beyond the lines of reason" -overthinking and overanalyzing take away many possibilities for us -in buddhism the world and god are not different things. god is the world. you can experience this through meditation. its like to bathe in the fontain. in this sense you are human and swing on the spiral of divinity Zen is also just a word, but it points to what is within every spirituality, within every religion. Maynard tries to describe this experience...but there is no way to describe it, you have to experience for yourselves.

FireKraken what are you talking about? Do you really think that maynard is a God or a Jesus figure? Don't make him out to be a dogma. That's the exact opposite of what Tool's music stands for. Now, about the song. It has many meanings of course, this is the beauty of Tool. But I think maybe one thing it means is how a baby views the world. When a baby is born into the world he knows nothing. He observes the world with an open mind to everything. He doesn't know the purpose of things so he imagines them, because ,well, he has nothing better to do. "Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see there is so much more and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend." This says it all, there are infinite possibilities to everything around a baby, and there is no reason. Also, a baby only sees black and white when they are born and other colors come later. How would our lives be if we thought like this? Not seeing any limits to what we do, "to feel inspired." And to be open to all and everything that comes our way. To grow from every experience and grow beyond, what seems to be, our own limitations. "Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come." This song is amazing and I think Lateralus is Tool's best album.

Nice interpretation reverand. It's kind of ironic, a complicated song that everyone is trying to figure out the "deeper meaning" of being about how not everything is buried in deeper meanings.
