The whole thing has a watery quality--the bah bahs are like puffing breath in icy air, steam coming from a kettle, and the piano starts as water droplets, single drops of dew etc. The percussion at 2.24 really sounds to me like something bursting--the lid being blown off, surface tension being ripped open--a release of the underlying pressure of the bah bah bah bah rhythm.
