Here is your assignment.

Someone please explain to me the meaning behind the lyrics of the song "forty six and two" by Tool.

In advance let me warn you all that you all epically fail yet pass at the same time.

Well this song does have an interesting meaning. A meaning so complex I could write an essay for a college psychology class. But in a nutshell it goes somewhat like this.

There are 3 kinds of peoople on this planet. The first group in the kind that has a grouping of chromosomes called 42+2. These people are most notably aboriginal people in tribes in the jungle. These people believe everything in the world are connected, the Earth, the poeple, the water, the animals ,ect. The next type is 44+2 which is most people (including me and you). These people (us) believe we are each a separate being from each other and the world around us. We also believe that we are the sole rulers of the planet. The next group is reserved for a few (I believe so far only one person belongs in this catogory) This group has the chromosomes of 46+2 which is considered divine. This means that you are both divine and human at the same time (Jesus anybody) This means you can do things the average human can't do such as heal people and control things. Yet Maynard is talking about how he is trying to find the nirvana of 46+2 and if anybody could achive this state of body.

ok.. and? So you googled it and found jesus like the jolly jumpers on your front porch try to get you to do and tied it to the title. I said lyrics, not title.

Maynard is basically saying he wants to experience all evil and that good shit and become a more pure being, he's good but wants to experience evil so it evens it all out and he isn't burdened by his conscious telling him he's doing the wrong thing, or temptation going against his conscious and making him do the bad. He just wants to remove any problems that his conscious may create for him. Maynard is outward about his hate for certain things and conforming and the public is one of them, and because the public has created the accepted "good" and "evil" he doesn't want to be apart of what everyone else is. That's my best explanation for the song.
