It's a reflection of a life that's almost done. This song illustrates to me the ending of a life. ![]() This is basically the same with somebody who had a stroke, is in the hospital and the situation get's worse and worse.Īfter this song 'Reflection' follows. If you read the entire lyrics ( - song 3) you notice somebody that's keeping faith in something and continues waiting patiently. Maynard's mom became a patient in a hospital. This song already makes sense by only reading the title. ![]() Maynard's mom had a stroke and is in the hospital where here situation get's worse and worse.Īccording the alternative trackorder not reflection but the patient comes next. From own experience I can remember that, in a hospital, a hell of a lot is being said but often the situations gets worse and worse. This can illustrate the story of his mom. The weather is still changing in a bad direction. Everybody keeps on mentioning everything and keeps having an oppinion but nothing changes. If you watch the alternate trackorder you can see it goes like this:įor me the story begins with Disposition. This site gives a pretty good illustration of the alternative trackorder. Most of the Tool listeners know about the fibonacci-sequence in the trackorder. Jeroen from Lisse, NetherlandsTo me this song is part of one big story with four songs in it.It sets the stage to experience the rest of the album in a deeper level. It invites you to watch the weather change to awaken consciousness. Try to time a meditative breath to the rhythm of the song song and notice it fits. Notice the distorted breathing almost sounds like snoring. ![]() Rs from PhiliFor me, I think this song is a breathing exercise, sort of pre-meditation.For this reason, in my opinion "Watch the weather change" has no declared meaning, but expresses the elusiveness of the trascendental world, which cannot be mentioned in words, but only intuited. After you have followed the first songs, as a listener you have acquired some qualities: a gap is created between those who know this world and those who do not, and the thing necessary to access it is intuition. The text in my opinion concerns two people: one, external, who asks you to show him this transcendental world, and another, which can be you, who responds cryptically the same thing (watch the weather change). Cris from Italy"Disposition" is the heart of the album, and at the same time an external vision.
