Sean from Ontario, OnIts funny how disposition is right before this song on the album.In disposition maynard repeats "watch the weather change".What does this have to do with reflection? I infer that reflection is partyly about the Moon reflecting the sunlight when the weather changes.The moon takes some of the glory of the sun,not actually creating sunlight but reflecting it. For any other thoughts or additional information, please reply. This makes these four songs by far the most beautiful and sad songs of Tool. To me these songs are about the death of his mom, the feeling of remorse and the crucifying feeling that nothing and nobody, most importantly himself, can help her. Triad is the instrumental end of his moms life. The situation is thusfar that nothing can be done 'bout it. Maynard propably descripes his mom almost going to die. 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.Again, its just that I don't have the guts to start the conversation after everything I've said in the fight or argument we just had. ".and watch the weather change." You can mention something, mention anything at this point and the "weather" (mood, atmosphere, situation) will change because I don't want to be mad. Just say something and I'll follow so that we can change this mood we're in." You know how people that don't really have anything to say or just want to avoid awkard moments start talking about the weather? Like, "Nice weather were having today!" Just to break the ice or the awkard silence. Please say anything so that we can start a different conversation. Mention something, mention anything." I think, "Just say anything and I swear I'll let this thing go. Cowardly, not having the courage to say anything, I think something similar to the lyrics "Mention this to me. But there's that silence again, after all the fighting. In those moments I've come to think that I don't really care who's right or wrong, I just want to be happy with that person again. Then, suddenly, there's nothing left to say, realizing that nothing good is coming out of the argument and the anger.
