According to Wikipedia "Watershed" comes from an old term for shedding, meaning splitting or dividing. Could be some symbolism there?? Or it could just be a tribute the K.D. Lang's 2008 album..

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

The Lotus Eater? With an s that's a Nevermore song and Mikael knows it.

Someone just explained to me what Watershed meant. = /

Apparently Watershed is also the title of a Foo Fighters song.

Ready for this? im sure theres gotta be a different meaning for the band but....apparently a watershed is "the dividing line between drainage ditches"??!!?

 

[Necropeth]

Oh wait a minute here we got a different defintion...this one makes alot more sense....."A critical point that marks a division or a change of course; a turning point" "an important point of division or transition between two phases, conditions, etc"

Yeah!! Watershed is the best title, I think mikael name this "Watershed" because the lyrics will talk about his changes on the way of thinking because he has two daugthers.
watershed (BIG CHANGE)
noun
an event or period which is important because it represents a big change in how people do or think about something.
