Tool – Lateralus Lyrics 8 years ago
@[madson4562:18295] The band is really into sacred geometry so I figured it would make sense to look up the meaning of spiral in sacred geometry. It is actually a symbol of growth without changing shape. So I figured the line "swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human" could pertain to growing as a person and becoming more than what you are but remaining a human being (staying in the same form or appearance)

Tool – Schism Lyrics 8 years ago
I agree with everyone who says that this is about religious separation. I also believe, however that the song may tie into what happened with the band prior to Lateralus. After a couple of lawsuits, and other hardships, the band members each went off to do their own things and reunited a few years later. Hence "I know the pieces fit." Also they've spoken in interviews about opening channels of communication between them.
