    General Comment:As amusing as it is to watch people argue over the meaning of a song title of an instrumental.

    The bending guitar sections, you know the ones that sound like a whale call? = whale

    The picked/staccato sections that resemble fluctuation and flight? = wasp.

    General Comment:Layne = whale
    The Needle = Wasp

    Song--> Longing for fix-->jubilation, high, climax-->fading effects return to being dope sick.

    General Comment:one of AIC's very finest... not trying to be too much of a philosophizer here (instrumental songs correctly should be very open for interpretation), but this song definately has a funeral/severe mourning vibe to it...
    yet every time i try typing to elaborate/explain my interpretaiton of the song, it comes out stupid/not what i'm trying to say.
    but somehow, when you listen to it, you get it
    i guess the best way i could describe listening to this song would be like seeing a seemingly unstoppable force completely paralyzed by greif and agony: something seemingly so unphaseable just completely rocked at the core with seemingly unredeemable sorrow.

    Song Meaning:Based on the 'tune'(tone) it's about loving your very contradiction of being, accepting what you arent willing to. Hence, the sudden changes in pitch which sound just like a graceful wasp and big lumbering whale.

    General Comment:All this claptrap about whether it was a violin or a viola or a cello is pissing me off. WHO CARES??? It's such a captivating song so take it for what it is!
