Change, and what comes with it. Throughout this song, the change seems to be downplayed quite a bit. I would imagine that Portnoy wrote this with a rather snappy attitude towards the record label, who were making them change their sound to a more radio-friendly environment. It also alludes to how people's minds change very quickly and unexpectedly. The change of sound came at a time when Dream Theater was on top of their game, so I could see this being what the song is about.
