Well after giving this album a few listens now I have to say it's a ripper. It is taking a little longer to sink in then I remember Lateralus doing but I'm sponging it up rather well now. A few things...

Lost Keys : Rosetta Stoned
Doctor : Patient

I love this wee bit here, especially the patients storming run at the start of Rosetta Stoned.
Secondly, I think Right In Two is something to do with Adam and Eve. But the overall focus is meant to be on the start of mankind, how did we get this far.
I read on Wikipedia I think it is, that The Pot isn't so much about Pot, but on the phrase "The Pot calling the Kettle Black".
10,000days could well be about Maynards mother. As it was 10,000 days from when she became paralysed to when she passed away, ties in with the lyrics too I think.

I fucking love this album more and more with each listen, and is that guitar piece in Jambi not the coolest thing ever.
