...song called 'Jimmy' by TOOL. The lyrics are as follows:
...What are your thoughts Eleveners?
This is a fascinating song to look at. I heard it before but I don’t think I looked directly at the lyrics. I did some research and it is said that the song was referring to Maynard James Keenan mother suffering an aneurism when he was 11. But if you look at the lyrics you can see that there is a lot going on in that song and it seems to point to an understanding that the number 11 has a very significant meaning behind life.
People are always looking for meanings behind songs, whether they are the intended meaning, dual meanings, or they strike a personal cord. I think this has two meanings that come together and I suspect it was intentional. You pretty much have to be an 11er to pick up on the second meaning.
There are a couple of paragraphs from one post that jumped out at me on
songmeanings.com/songs/view/2504/#comments. You can see the rest of it and other people's comments there.
El = god
Eleven = El-Even = God comes from balance
God = Higher frequency of light and conscious awareness
…Yet, Eleven is also a significant number in relation to the activation of DNA and entering into higher frequency vibration, evolving into higher consciousness. Awakening comes through healing and the creation of balance, 11.
The whole thing really works together amazingly. Some of the things that really jump out to me from the song are:
Moving me with a sound.
Opening me within a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Showing me where it all began,
Eleven.
It took so long to realize that
You hold the light that's been leading me back home.
I am wide awake and heading home.
Hold your light,
Eleven.
Hold your light,
Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step
By inch by loaded memory
'Til one and one are one, eleven,
So glow, child, glow.
I'm heading back home.
Here is another Tool song that is interesting from a spiritual perspective:"Parabola"We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here right now
Hold on, stay inside...
This holy reality, this holy experience
Choosing to be here in...
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in...
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion
Alive!
In this holy reality, in this holy experience
Choosing to be here in...
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in...
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion
Twirling round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
A chance to be alive and breathing
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal
All this pain is an illusion
