Dead Animal?

Hey Steve,

What is the dead animal in front of the fountain in the Chronometree cover art? What is it supposed to mean?

Wasn't that the hand Glorious mentioned?

That's a dead animal? I need to get my eyes checked, I can't at all make out what that is. As for its meaning, I would imagine it does not mean much, considering the tongue-in-cheek manor of the album story. Looks cool though...

I don't remember what it is exactly. But the artist stuck it in there and I never noticed it until some time went by. I'd rather it be a hand than a dead animal though. I wonder why?

I think it ties in with the whole wannabe pirate thing you have going on there, Steve. A missing hand reminds you of Hook. That's what your subconscious must be thinking. I bet there will be mention of a parrot on the next album... "Quoth the parrot: Evermore". It would fit right in with the rest of your lyrics.

Personally, I kinda like the dead animal.

To me that thing was always just a rock. Or maybe a piece of driftwood, but probably a rock. It does have sparkly stuff coming out though, so who knows?

Cree-py.

I've got the album art as my desktop (hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules) and my roommate and I were looking at it.

We both think it's a dead mouse and the little lights is its soul departing.

Steve!!! Shame on you, not knowing what's on your own album! You're supposed to know everything!!!!

I really hope it's not a severed hand.

A rock? You've got to be kidding. It's a mouse!

This topic was a Monty Python quote waiting to happen! Now you got me thinking of the dead parrot sketch.
