This song is an easter egg combining 3 songs from Tool's album 10,000 Days: Wings for Marie (Pt. 1). 10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2), and Viginti Tres. The lengths of Wings for Marie and Viginti Tres add up to the length of 10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2). There is also a transition to a heavy part at 9:14, at which time both Wings for Marie (Pt. 1) and 10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2) are playing. The minute and second numbers, 9+14, add up to 23, apparently the Latin number for synchronicity. "Viginti Tres" also happens to be Latin for 23. The song is a tribute to frontman Maynard James Keenan's mother Judith Marie, who died 27 years (approximately 10,000 days) after suffering a stroke.
