I know my credibility is slim to none, considering this is my first post. However, I stumbled upon some information that I thought would be helpful in defining what is implied by "weep in shades of indigo". It's not much info, but it's a start.


1."The SIXTH CHAKRA serves the pituitary, lower brain, sense of sight, ears, nose and nervous system. INDIGO - the healing effects of this color help to clear the head and open the third eye, and one's spiritual perceptions. "


2. "The Brow Chakra is associated with the color indigo. It is also often referred to as the "third eye" or the "mind center." It is our avenue to wisdom - learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective. Our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions is in connection with the healthfulness of this chakra. Achieving the art of detachment beyond "small mindedness" is accomplished through developing impersonal intuitive reasoning. It is through an open brow chakra that visual images are received.

If you look up chakras on wikipedia, there is a chart with each chakra, their corresdonding color (The ājñā or the Third Eye's color is indigo), their primary functions and their element.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the third eye and indigo have both been referenced by Tool, although the context in which they are used is greatly different.

Also, since the sixth chakra serves sight, it could explain the "lemon juice up in your eye". It is also associated with fear of truth (see the Mental and Emotional Issues section of #2).

Unforunately I found this info at work (which is where I am now), so I don't have much time to delve any further. Hopefully it's a start....

awesome 1stpost/threadstart. I would've needed major balls to make my 1st post a threadstarter, so I salute you: major balls Impatient215...

Thank you very much. I didn't even take into consideration that my first post would be a thread starter. I guess I'm ignorant of my big balls. :)

^ How could you? lolz

BIG BALLS

hard to ignore...

Now I feel like an idiot. This issue was already addressed in another thread in WAY more depth than my thread. Oh well.... At least now I'm not at 1 post. Lol.

well, you've made a good start here on toolnavy. you should be proud.

Not surprising...we're all One Mind.

This is one of the best posts I've seen in a while. No, seriously... fuckin' awesome.

Very, very true. It's nice to be reminded of that.

Anytime, impatient215. And thanks, iota.
