About this cover song, vocalist Colin H Van Eeckhout commented:
“One cannot deny that Tool has always been a huge influence to us and me as a singer.
They wrote albums, slowly, scarce, but when they released an album, it felt like they had written it especially for me. It’s seems there was always a perfect timing, for instance they released “Lateralus” on the 15th of May 2001, my 22nd birthday and on the same day I buried my father. The song "Parabol" perfectly described the wake, five nights before, the moment he died in my arms and the words that went through my head that instant."
