Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Laterlus by Tool

Today's Metal Track is Lateralus by Tool. It is the title track off of their 2001 album Lateralus. This song is about two realms in life; physical and spiritual.

It's about expanding your mind into the unknown while being careful not to go too far into the spiritual realm and completely separate the body from the mind. Instead try "to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human" and to push the boundaries while keeping the two connected.

"We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going, going"
