would anyone else agree that Schism is about a breakup, at least lyrically?

Sort of, it's about the relationship between brothers

He mentions brothers at the end it's pretty clear that's what it's about. Not to mention there's probably at least one other meaning to it since most of their lyrics have double or triple meanings

well a good artist tries to make the meaning of a song ambiguous despite having their own intention



but he never says "brothers" in schism so

Of course it seems like its about an estranged brother but the character knows he'll see him again someday and he knows they still love each other: hence the I know the pieces fit line.

Or maybe about strained but hopeful relationships in general. I think he says lovers and brothers I hear both when he sings that line.

when I hear "I know the pieces fit, cause I watched them fall away" it reminds me of that frustrated feeling of knowing the relationship actually works because at one point it seemed perfect, but now the pieces have fallen away

The song is actually about the band and how they nearly called it quits.



basically what spaceman said, but it's actually about the band.

Sooo, should I continue with the lyrics? Because here is the end of the verse... [looks at frustrated glares]... *whispering* Ok, I'll shut it.
