Holy Hambugler,I hope Maynard never sees this because he's gonna know " Somebody's finally figured me out. " Thank you sir for your interpretation because I did need a really good laugh
Wow this is the best lyrical breakdown of this song ive ever heard, talk about a massive piss take. You sir are a genius of lyrics and understanding. Any way later Alus. 😂😂😂
I'm not high enough for this reaction, the intricacies of Will and Alice's story together with the chicken-burger sequence create a lore that's above my level of comprehension.
These comments are awesome. Some of em might call you the Lyric Blasphemer after this.😂 You cracked me up because I began trying to predict your interpretation of coming sections as it went. 👍
The red and yellow refers to the Spanish national flag. For a few months babies identify as Spanish, specifically from the Castille region for some reason
I think Alus probably was on a sugar high from all the soda she drank while bathing in it, then went on the merry go round and started barfing all over everything, bewildering her parents, all the while Will whispers sinisterly “later Alus”. He never wanted a little sister anyway. 😮
Was this analysis written by Chat GPT??? This is SO FUCKING OUT THERE!!!! This is hilarious. Legendary interpretation, and you added an amazing layer to my favorite song by my favorite band. This is art.
That was the quickest and most smooth pencil pull through the glasses I’ve ever seen… I’m pretty sure it was the only time I’ve seen the pencil pulled through the glasses in my life. Shit was hilarious! 😂😂😂
The whole time I was wondering what Alus was going to be spiraling out on. The best I could come up with was either the spiral slide or possibly the swing set and Will spun her swing up as tight as the chains would allow them to twist up and then let her go to spiral out and unravel her swing.. But you must have dug deep to find the McCheese Mayor GO Round lol Impressive! Well now we know what the troll behind the keyboard looks like lol So im trying to decide who you're trolling more the reactors or the fans of Tool? Its definitely both but whos taking the majority of it? I love it but you are playing with fire sir lol You obviously know how crazy the Tool Army is. If anyone misspeaks upon the band and a flurry of Angry comments start coming in. Theyre mostly peaceful people but I think thats because most reactors dare to speak out against Tool. Reactors have learned from others that if they act like they are the most mind blowing songs theyve ever heard the angry mob will be nice and allow them to continue with more videos. lol They are like that one Twilight Zone episode where the little boy has special powers to make people disappear or turn into anything he wants them to become. So the whole time all the adults around him are scared shitless and give him praise for everything he does. He turns the mail man into a cat I think and a dog eats him. He turned his grandpa into a Jack in the Box toy and his mom and dad nervously laughed and told him good boy grandpa deserved that lol Am I talking out my ass? lol Its a good episode and a perfect depiction of the Tool Army lol Just joking guys dont cancel me please!! ha? ha? gulp!
@@MrBurnout22"It's a GOOD thing that you did that. Yes. It's really GOOD" 😬 I think that the true OGT fans would appreciate this unique, in depth & thought provoking analysis. It speaks to the heart & soul of Tool.
I hope you understand that the word Lateralus comes from the term lateral thinking, and how the only way to really evolve as an artists or as a human being, is to try and think outside the lines and push your boundaries, black and white are all I see, the first visions of a human being entering the world, red and yellow came to be, the more you experience, the more you begin to understand the depths of the world and even the universe, keep going, spiral out
Unless you've had a mystical experience occasioned by entheogens or a near death experience, or some other form of non-duality (red and yellow) it is understandable you don't understand the possible meanings of the lyrics even as a tenured professor of lyricology (black and white). The experiences and state of being I mentioned are ineffable to begin with. It's kind of like being a teacher of skydiving who has never jumped out of an airplane. Enjoying your reactions (no judgement). Completely understand you are just having fun with the lyrics, haha. Many Tool fans (me included) have reverence towards Tool's inspirational messages. I would compare your lyrical analysis to farting in church. By reading most of the comments my only suggestion would be to know your audience. Tool will most likely be an amazing journey you can embark that we'd love to watch you go through. But unfortunately, most won't get your schtick.
Yeah, I understand, but I hope the interpretation from a whacky middling RUclips professor won't ruin anyone's reverence for the song or band. And I'm careful with which songs I choose to "analyze" (across all artists/genres), and don't dive into anything overtly serious, though I suppose that's open to interpretation. All said, I still think it' about McDonald's.
Like others who have commented about the fact that you have missed the target, the first indication that you would be incorrect was your explanation of Fibonacci. The golden ratio explains how nature is constructed. Mathematically a Fibonacci number is the sum of the previous 2 numbers. 1+1=2, 1+2=3,2+3=5,3+5=8 and so on. Your lyric breakdown appears to be approached with a bias. Let go.
@@professorlyricsphd478the Fibonacci sequence was discovered by Leonardo Fibonacci, an italian Mathematician, in the 12th century so I guess it would be correct to say that you don't even know what sequence you are talking about. The fibonacci sequence is, as the guy commented, a series where the nth number is determined by the sum of the 2 previous numbers, so it would be 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and so on. Also, 8+8 is not equal to 17. Like, not even on another planet. The link between the fibonacci sequence and this song is in the syllables that each line is made up of in the verses (e. g. Black 1/Then 1/White-Are 2/All-I-See 3/ In-my-infancy 5 Please dont believe that your interpretation is somewhat "correct" just because you have studied lyrics. If you listen correctly, the song's time signature changes from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8. 987 is the 15th number (i think) in the fibonacci sequence. Try to give an interpretation of these lyrics starting from this concept! The interpretation in this video has absolutely nothing to do with fibonacci nor lateralus 😂
Well you start by having the Fibonacci sequence wrong... the "formula" is 1+1 = 2, 1+2=3; 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13 and so on. To know the next step, you add the last number of the previous addition to the result of that same addition. So the next step would be 8+13=21. Also, that sequence is a mathematical representation of a geometrical spiral and the "spiral" is central to the theme of the lyrics. "Spiral out, keep going". Also, I don't know who this "Franck Fibonacci" guy is (searched on Google, found nothing), but he is not responsible for what is called "The Fibonacci Sequence". You have your premise completely wrong. I haven't seen the rest of the video or your interpretation of the lyrics, but this start doesn't bode well. After watching the video... You're either joking and being very mildly funny, or you totally miss the mark. F+ (the plus is for the imagination).
Is very mildly funny better or worse than mildly funny? The F+ is a firm, but fair, grade given the complex lyrics. I'll try to do better next time, but this is almost certainly about a girl named Alus and her roller coaster of emotions at a suburban McDonald's circa 1985.
WOW! You are soooo wrong on the lyrics! I've now watched this video and The Pot by you and you are wrong about the lyrics. So much for being a "professor".
@@professorlyricsphd478 As a fan of Tool since the beginning, their lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but your way is just wrong. I now see why you only have 80 subscribers and I'm glad I'm not one of them. In my honest opinion, you suck.
chill dude. For all we know it could be about a frustrating trip to McDonalds. Don't you know TOOL? Have you hear Rosetta Stoned, or pretty much any "interlude" songs on Ænema?

Thank you! My advanced degree in Lyricology has lead to some recent breakthroughs in deciphering their always complex lyrics.
Yo this is hands down the wildest interpretation of all time lol
Thank you. My advanced degree in Lyricology has lead me to this point.
I'm playing this song every time I go to McDonald's for now on lol
Just avoid the soda fountain area, for your own safety.
Wow...now that is a wild interpretation of the lyrics. Thought I'd heard them all. Genuinely amused.
Wow this is the best lyrical breakdown of this song ive ever heard, talk about a massive piss take. You sir are a genius of lyrics and understanding. Any way later Alus. 😂😂😂
Thank you, kind sir.
Later, Alus! Love it!
Thank you for your support!
Alus wants to go in the ball pit, and someone took out all the blue and green balls, so all she sees are red and yellow balls
I'm not high enough for this reaction, the intricacies of Will and Alice's story together with the chicken-burger sequence create a lore that's above my level of comprehension.
I take that as a compliment of the highest order.
My advice to you is to get much higher.
Trying to work out if this is satire...i cant take this seriously but its fun 😝
I suspect that you may be over thinking & over analyzing this reaction video.
I detected no lies in this analysis 🤣👌
The facts simply don't lie.
These comments are awesome. Some of em might call you the Lyric Blasphemer after this.😂 You cracked me up because I began trying to predict your interpretation of coming sections as it went. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm doing my best with these interpretations, but often find myself surprised at just how many songs are about bowel movements.
I’m just enjoying all the comments from people who have no sense of humor.
You sir understand tool more than you realize.
Thank you for the kind words!
As a mathematician, i can confirm your total grasp of Frank's sequence
The red and yellow refers to the Spanish national flag. For a few months babies identify as Spanish, specifically from the Castille region for some reason
Now that's deep knowledge!
I need to go back in time.

I think Alus probably was on a sugar high from all the soda she drank while bathing in it, then went on the merry go round and started barfing all over everything, bewildering her parents, all the while Will whispers sinisterly “later Alus”. He never wanted a little sister anyway. 😮
A darker take, but certainly within the realm of possibility!

This one's even better than The Pot...8 plus 8 is 17....Frank Fibinacci lol
Thank you, sir. I have an advanced degree in Lyricology, and I'm glad to spread my wisdom.
Every time i hear this song i just get so frustrated with will
will is certainly the antagonist.
Am I tripping, or did you pull the pencil through the glass?
😂😂😂 I had to go back and make sure that's what he did, and yep he did, love this guy.
It’s deep, guys. Magic? Nope.
@@professorlyricsphd478 Pencil deep within the borderline
