And pertaining to the line "shine on until the two become one" meaning that if the two-"wants and needs" become one, then life will be good.
i'm changing my OPINION of my own OPINION for the lyrics of JAMBI (one of the best songs in the entire world) because, through further research, i saw the actual lyrics posted on this site and i believe what i read- that Maynard wrote "benevolent sun" and when listening to the song that "feels" more right, fits in better with the meaning. Anyway it's a gorgeous song and i'm not really into trying so hard to analyze every song i listen to. Actually, that just happens naturally as random thoughts come to mind when listening to music. but one of the reasons TOOL has become my favorite band in the whole world is because of the awesome highly intelligent complexety that goes into thier ultimate creations
