A Song that has a special meaning

Lateralus.
Lateralus is a song by the band Tool - my favorite band. I choose this song because it's so powerful it gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. The song structure rest on the Fibonacci sequence (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc), this group of numbers can be use to draw a perfect spiral that can be found in nature and, of course, in the art history. The drums and the vocals are based in this structure and guide the listener on a game with this numbers: they start the sequence, they go backwards or miss some parts in purpose. The vast majority of the lyrics talk about "become" this spiral. Imagine a human being who can transcend its limits and go further and further. You always grow, everything is experienced in new ways. This is the kind of song that makes you realize there's no limits to your potential, to connect with yourself  and overcome your own prejudices, at least, this is the way the song works for me and other people, but Tool's song are always "very" open to interpretations. So listen the song, give it a try - it is a little long for certain people but you will not be disappointed :)
Spiral out; keep going!
