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

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

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.
