Ok, first off I wanna say that I never sign into sites like this.... but just reading all the bullshit on here was just pissing me off. Honestly are you people really that dumb? Obviously 90% of you aren't actual tool fans or maybe bought one CD and consider yourself Maynard experts. Yes Maynard has said that his songs are purposely written in a way that could have several meanings and leaves it open for the listener to interpret it the way they want (that's why he never discusses what his songs are about). But come on...... Sept 11th.....guess he sees into the future, Horoscopes, Numerology, The 11 11 time clock crap, and the list goes on and on. I mean some of you morons are talking about his sister (which P.S. doesn't exist since he's an only child), his mom Peggy, Susie, Kathy. Just stop embarrassing yourselves if you don't know the facts about his family, at least the basics like his moms name. Oh yeah I almost forgot besides getting his moms name wrong lots of you got HIS name wrong. HOW THE HELL COULD YOU BE ON THIS SITE AND NOT AT LEAST KNOW THAT HIS BIRTH NAME WASN'T MAYNARD. The songs name is jimmy.........his name is James......hmmmmmm I wonder who the songs about........maybe his dog. Anyway long story short the song has a pretty simple meaning people......just put the pipe down cause it's not doing all of you any good. It's about him as a boy jimmy......his mom became paralyzed when he was 11...he was sent off to his dads when he was 11..........his whole world changed because of what happened to his mom when he was 11............1+1.......11...the end.
Senior "Tool Expert". You said yourself that most of Tool's songs are open to interpretation, but yet, you assume that YOUR interpretation is the right one. How can you type your harsh words of criticism on how everyone has terrible interpretations as you impose your own?

These songs may be open to interpretation, but this is the closest to the CORRECT interpretation I've yet seen here. It's all well and good that as many people as possible relate with an artist's songs in whatever way(s) they see fit, but trust me; the artists do have something specific in mind when they write these songs.

@bakerbaker90 All coincidental interpretations are valid. Tools lyrics are filled with what they call magic, so that it inevitably let´s the listener project its own reality.

I myself had great insights about myself through the meditation of the lyrics, especially the number 11.

Yes and THANK YOU for the asinine ,no correlation in the slightest to the lyrics in order to fit the meaning they propose.
If you have PTSD this song puts words to a path that you are placed within and on I had been unable to find a way to even begin to formulate an association/connection for those in my life that did not have PTSD to relate too for a truer understanding of the depth you are forever changed. (At least for me and my interpertation regarding myself and by using the lyrics / words to associate...

Some of the “meanings” on this site make you wonder if someone is trolling or maybe is poor sarcasm
@bakerbaker90 Considering how angry you are I'm willing to bet most of Tool's lyrics go over your head! The band is heavily into things like sacred geometry, synchronicity, Timothy Leary, questioning everything, etc it strikes me as very ignorant that you think there's no possible way 11 in this song has a double meaning and just write it off as "time clock crap". It's called synchronicity and it's not a coincedence that Rosetta Stoned is 11:11 long.

Your interpretation isn't wrong but it's a shame you feel the need to get angry at people who see more meaning in the song than simply "he's singing about being 11". Do you think the world would be a better place if everyone treated you like garbage because you don't believe in synchronicity?
I'll end with a Bill Hicks quote that feels appropriate.
Bill Hicks, "Shut up and smoke that"
Angry guy smokes weed and chills out, "Oh sorry I was taking life seriously."

@bakerbaker90 that stuff is correct except Jimmy left for Michigan when he was 13. He lived in Ohio for a while after Judy's paralysis. But I think the age of 11 is the traumatic moment he is singing about.

Actually everyone here is basically correct and on the right track. It does have to do with 9/11, numerology, his mother, 1+1, all of it actually.

11 represents duality. We're missing the mother aspect of our souls because we are separated from nature which is why everything is going to reset. So we're just 1 missing the other 1, 11. You have to heal the trauma from not having the mother aspect. This is both spiritual and literal for Maynard obviously.

9/11 had to do with destroying the 2 pillars that hold up the world. It was a symbolic representation of that. It's Masonic. They are tearing down this world so they can build a new one. Creating chaos so they can make order out of chaos. A new world order.
