I love your take on it! For me, I honestly think it’s a love song to someone who he nearly lost (or did lose) through the temptations of the world he lived in…there’s a vision of someone feasting and living large, tempted by devils and this partner he sings to resuced him from this, became his balance, a sense of wholeness, in life. That last part seems to be him addressing the demons in his head that seek to disrupt this relationship he has with this person through gluttony and the typical temptations that come with being a bonafide rockstar!
The Charismatic voice reaction channel did a good videos of Wings part 1 & 2
They honestly don’t have a bad track. The albums are concept albums to me. React to entire albums to get the full experience. Segues, interludes, hidden tracks, album art. Pink Floyd passed the torch to TOOL, and they’ve been keeping the album experience alive and well.

That’s a talkbox during Adam’s solo. If you don’t know what one is, you definitely need to react to Peter Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like We Do” from Frampton Comes Alive. It’s much better than the studio version.
This song is about Maynard’s son. Many layers of course, they would watch Peewee Herman together, but it also refers to the original Jambi who was a great sheik. Never just one meaning with Tool tunes.
Pushit, H, and Euology are more up her alley as a therapist. I would really like the interpretation on that song, since what Maynard is talking about
Interesting take. I see comments about his son, I’ll have to watch interviews.
An Analysis of Fear Inoculum, would be interesting. I find it to be political. Some lyrics in the song I find interesting since it was six-seven months before c-19.
you are on the right track but at the end he sings belevinant son . i think this is about his son . but hey its tool how you interpret it is up to you. cheers
@heartsupport This song (and entire album) came out after he lost his mother. The entire album is for & about her & what he felt/experienced.
I absolutely love when you do tool songs, they are by far one of the best bands ever
I’ve watched a lot of your videos but a recommendation for you as a therapist, Disturbed - Inside the Fire, would also like to see more Bad Omens like ‘Death of Piece of Mind’ and ‘Kingdom of Cards’. Also watched the In Flames - Only For the Weak but ‘Take This Life’ is also a must!
Wish? Did someone say “wish?”
This is definitely one of my top 5 TOOL songs!
Tool - Right in two, pls❤
Taylor, I spent over 20 years in therapy. Oh how I wish you would have been one of the many. I would have been extremely lucky to have you as my therapist,you are awesome
Jambi is one of my favourite Tool songs. There are so different ways of thinking about the song. It’s funny to think that Jambi the genie got its name from a sandwich shop, or so the legend goes. On another level, the song has incantation vibes via changing time signatures and talk box solo. So interesting. One could go on and one, but alas, the day calls and errands beckon. Thanks for posting. Cheers!
If you do. U should react to hey you by disturbed
In addition to the recommends below from this album - also check out Judith - A Perfect Circle (if you have not already) … it is yet another chapter in the story.
Ive been struggling with life for the last two years and tool is always there helping me keep my mind in place, and now your reactions are like the strawberries for the cake lol thanks
