I think its more complicated than that. My theory is that it parallels the idea of our temporary lives compared to God's existence. The "I do not exist" and later, " I do not exist, only you exist" work into what i believe to be the theme of the album. Its about faith growing in an eternal God and losing interest in temporary things. I agree that the change from yellow to orange and then brown parallel the dying of a leaf but i think it is used to illustrate his losing interest in this temporary world. I think he is saying that his faith used to be based on the leaf and spider or the things he saw God doing in his immdeiate surroundings. The tangible things we love to base our faith anf entire existence on. However, as he matured he realized that he cant depend on those things Solomon would claim to be completely meaningless and that all he should concentrate on is the God who Is and Was and Is to come. What he believes doesnt matter if he allows God to exist in an increasing abundance until nothing of himself is left. can i get a witness?
