This song is a true work of art, something that the band want it to be seen as annd someting that i think is the most beautiful song ever written. Does anyone care if it is just under 10 minutes long?
Part of the reason I believe this song is so beautiful is due to the fact that it is MATHmatically pleasing to the ear. Yet more proof that MJK is an absolute genius. If you listen to the first stanza of this song, the syllables of the lyrics follow the Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8) and then back down from 8 (5,3).

There are also other instances throughout the song, regarding math references to the Fibonacci sequence. Mainly, they are referenced through time signatures.
Just for thought. I thought that was pretty amazing.
If it was any longer or any shorter it wouldn't be Lateralus.

In my humble opinion it is certainly the best overall song ever written (not including classical music which doesn't count).

Ultimate matching of lyrics and transcendental message with ascending riffs that send shivers down my spine every time. As for it being mathematically correct, with Fibonacci sequence etc, well jesus christ, i didn't know that, but it makes sense.

the other section follows the sequence backwards as well:
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine (13)
Drawn outside the lines of reason (8)
Push the envelope, (5) watch it bend (3)

Maynard was a true genius, and This song is merely one example of it.

I dont agree on it being the most beautiful song ever writte, but it is damn good, and bloody ingenius. Kudos on the lyrics. :)
