Song lyrics
What was it like to see
The face of your own stability
Suddenly look away
Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?

Eleven and she was gone
Eleven is when we waved goodbye
Eleven is standing still,
Waiting for me to free him
By coming home.

Moving me with a sound
Opening me within a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Showing me where it all began,
Eleven.

It took me so long to realize 
You were the voice that's been 
calling me back home.

Under a dead Ohio sky
Eleven has been and will be waiting,
Defending his light,
And wondering
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.

Hold your light,
Eleven.
Lead me through each gentle step by step
by inch by loaded memory.

I'll move to heal
As soon as pain allows so we can
Reunite and both move on together.

Hold your light,
Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step
by step by insufficient memory
'till one and one are one, Eleven,
So glow, child, glow
I'm heading back home.

I hear The Title is written jimmy instead Of Jimmy, this being because jimmy was just a boy or something....look it up.

Love the changes in guitar tempos during the song and of course one of Maynard's best vocal preformances.
Interesting that Tool's songs contain symbolic placement of numbers...

This song is about Maynard's memory of his mother up to the time when he was eleven years old. When he was eleven, his mother was diagnosed with a life threatening illness. IN the song, he says that he hopes to meet his mother again in the condition she was before her illness. This suggests a meeting in the afterlife. "eleven has been and will be waiting".

what i get from the lyrics is that it deifinetly deals with maynard's childhood.

it is probably titled "Jimmy" because Maynard's real name is James, and everybody called him Jimmy when he was young.

and as the previous person said, his mother was diagnosed with...cancer? i think? and she had it for 28 years (or roughly 10,000 days) before she died.

and as for the part about the "dead ohio sky"; maynard was born and lived here in ohio until he was in..9th grade, i think?
