Lyric discussion by 0ni 

Its been suggested that 10,000 Days is the follow-up album to Lateralus. If it is "Disc 2," as has been suggested, Viginti Tres (Latin for twenty three) is literally track 23 of the total album. I don't believe that Faiip de Oiad was ever specifically stated to be track 13 on the Lateralus packaging, so assuming we leave it out, this makes sense. I can't imagine that that would be a coincidence, since it doesn't seem that there is any other real meaning to this song.

Does anybody have an idea what the voice says?

They're trying to take us somewhere in this track. It's best to stop analyzing here, the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite. I look at this in terms of what enviroment this is. A breathing, swinging sound. An utterance. Twentythree is unknowable. Possibly a lost key.
