Okay...please dont shoot me for this one. Now, I know this is perhaps a bit too blunt and way too shallow for tool's style of thinking but everyone is always pondering as to what triads purpose is. Well, seeing as des/ref/tri are all one song...here goes...the last words in reflection I take as instructions for Triad. Tool is all about self growth and leaving the fans some thought to chew on. Well what better way than to give them a song and allow them to "Let the light touch you and let the words spill through, let them pass right through, bringing out our hope and reason". So in short, triad is merely a canvas given to us by tool to allow us to do with as we please...thank you
I think that's a very decent interpretation. What other songs do you think might be connected? Thank you for sharing.
