it's all in the name: terminal frost. the word terminal means the end of something, and the word frost is associated with cold. now, the coldness that could be referenced to in the song could refer to one's attitude toward the world/life.... so what it now means is the end of the cold / feelings of death. stop looking at the music and its aural aesthetics, instead look at the movement, as in a picture. the song clearly displays something that begins depressing, slow, cold, deathlike, then moves on to the climax which is the sax part, signifying a release from the cold.
