| Variations On A Cloud || The melody of the third verse is the same as the bridge in 'Murders', The post chorus has the same melody as the bridge from 'Isle Unto Thyself' and the refrain is a slower version of the melody used for the pizzicato line in 'Dream Sweet in Sea Major'. The final section of the song also shares the melody and lyrics (with slight variations) of [[Ruler Of Everything]].

==Story==
The album is about a 17 year old boy, named Simon. His name is not specifically stated in the release, but in some old demos. The story of the album is about Simon sailing to Hawaii and meeting a girl. He falls in love with this girl, only to have her die later. Simon is framed for this murder, and pleads insanity to attempt for a lesser sentence. Instead, he is sent to the infirmary, and given electroshock therapy.

* Part of Joe's inspiration for Hawaii: Part II was a book titled "The Secrets and Mysteries of Hawaii: A Call to the Soul" by one William Chiles, released in 1995. He found it in a bookstore around 2008, when friend [[Ricky Lax]] released his first book Lawyer Boy. Joe saw a diagram of a stellated octahedron and felt it had a connection to a Hawaiian-esque melody he had in his head since 1997.<ref name="JH2019I">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g7t-2gaQxO0wZ187M5epjiocUdbZs8alQysD7H71xPg/ 2019 Joe Hawley interview.]</ref>
