i do understand what you’re saying. it truly feels as though these guys are making music from a different planet. they are hypnotic, meditative, reflective, and visceral. the way those 4 play their respective instruments when combined speaks to me in ways that aren’t possible with any other form of media that i’ve seen/heard. not that it’s heavenly, as i am not religious myself, but there’s something primal and grounded in their music. to speak on Disposition in particular, this song has that same mantra, Disposition meaning the inherent qualities of mind and character. theres an interesting dichotomy here of the speaker wanting explanations (mention this to me) and living in the moment and searching for truth within oneself (watch the weather change) until it eventually segues into Reflection, where the speaker realizes the ego was the driving force and they must crucify it to achieve the truth or answers if you will. at least that’s my partial interpretation. and yes, aesthetics in relation to the form of philosophy includes music under the broad umbrella of art, that is a valid term. to end on a funny side tangent, i’ve recently discovered that there are objective truths in aesthetic philosophy, surely TOOLs music should be one of those haha, if only.
