Tool just hide a bunch of mathematically signigicant concepts in their music, the most well known one being the Fibonacci sequence in the number of syllables in Lateralus
Black 1
then 1
white are 2
all I see 3
in my infancy 5
Red and yellow then came to be 8
Their rythms also follow pretty complicated mathematical patterns
They also reference a bunch of religious, spiritual and esoteric concepts in various songs, having many layers of meaning hidden to discover when you think about them. They make music to ponder and interpret, wich goes back to their name: they want to be a tool in your self-realization
