Sarcasm directed at fans who are apparently still not getting it.

I don't think it's Maynard who encountered the aliens, and I don't think it really happened, either. I think it's simply a song that tells a story with characters, obstacles, and most of all, irony. That choice was closer than any of the other options for me, anyway...

i agree with you. i think its a story. imagine this story as a film, or a short film. if done correctly it would be awesome

I voted sarcasm, but I don't think it's aimed just at Tool fans...

Ya I have always said polls on this site need a none of the above answer.

I think it's about the movie, "A Tigger Movie." Ever seen it? Watch it. It makes perfect sense.

Its sarcasm, but its aimed at themselves as well as the fans.

In some recent interview Maynard said he was frustrated that his positive messages were not getting across and the world keeps getting shittier. This song is him expressing that frustration.

He still does not feel that he has reached his true potency as a lyricist ("I forgot a pen" and whatnot), and is bashing himself for not changing the world in this song.

Um, are you serious? Because if you are I suggest you look in the 'lyrics' section of toolband.
