	This opening melody of this is probably the most beautiful and greatest melody I have ever heard in my life. Even just hearing it makes me break down in to tears, even if it's just music. I feel rather feminate saying that, but I'm trying to be honest. The opener has so much power and sadness I have trouble listening to it because I'm afraid I may cry. The lyrics are simple, yet his voice is amazing... What do I think this song about? Well, let me break it down (like I do every song) OK, "Reflection" and "Disposition" go straight together. "Reflection" seems to be someone of a higher class or growing to another dimension of maturity as someone said I believe. "Mention this me Mention something Mention anything Watch the weather change." As a child, when you tell the child things and act a way around him, he will gains those traits. Like, you know that theory where if you play a certain type of a music around a newborn that he'll like that music when he grows up? It could be like that. You mention something to a child and act a certain way as he gains those traits and eventually grows up with those traits. "Watch the weather change" could me when you mention something to the child, he'll be affected by it someone, so he's telling his parents "Watch the weather change". "Reflection" could be about the older person, growing up and confused. As someone said up there (I forgot who it was), "Before I pine away" could be before he dies. "I have come curiously close to the end, down Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole, defeated I Concede and (Concede and) move closer (Move closer), I may find comfort here I may find peace within the emptiness, how pitiful It's calling me (Calling me) It's calling me (Calling me) It's calling me (Calling me) It's calling me" From "Reflection", this could be someone waiting for his death, as death calls him. "I have come curiously close to end" seems to give that away, "I may find peace within emptiness" also. "It's source is bright and endless, she resuscitates the hopeless Without her we are lifeless satellites dreamin' dreams And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt, don't want to be down here soothing my narcissism, I Must crucify the ego before it's far too late, I pray the light lifts me out" Same as the other one. He's just waiting to die. The rest of the song seems to have that same meaning to, ending off in "Before we pine away." I do believe I could be overthinking the whole thing, and "Dispositon" could just be the obvious answer. I'm just trying to connect "Reflection" and "Disposition". I may be wrong, but the conclusion stands: "Disposition" is a BEAUTIFUL song, the most beautiful melodies of all time in my opinion. The opening melody makes me melt.
