| | Pet Lyrics Artist(Band):A Perfect Circle
step away from the window and go back to sleep Lay your head down child I won't let the boogeyman come Countin' bodies like sheep To the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble Pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep To the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind what other voices say They don't care about you, like I do, (like I do) Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils, See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do. Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, go, back to sleep, go back to sleep Lay your head down child I won't let the boogeyman come Countin' bodies like sheep To the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble Pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep To the rhythm of the war drums I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and all your demons I'll be the one to protect you from A will to survive and a voice of reason I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and your choices son They're one and the same I must isolate you Isolate and save you from yourself Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums The boogeymen are coming The boogeymen are coming Keep your head down, go to sleep To the rhythm of the war drums Stay with me Safe and ignorant Just stay with me I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones, The evil ones, don't love you son, Go back to sleep.

Review about Pet Hands off my Hobby | Reviewer: Hellraizer911 | 2/3/10 Hmmm, thats sounds like a chalenge to me. Keep on perverting those posting boards people. Power to the abstract expressionism. Also, no poems simply rhythmin writing. If you like the taste (which you clearly didn't) try reading "And the Ass Saw The Angel" by Nick Cave. Also, as for spelling, I'm sure I mentioned scotch somewhere in there. Alternative view | Reviewer: DMC | 1/26/10 This is a beautiful song, but I see it more as taking away someone's choices and free will in the name of protecting them "Safe from ... choice"; "I'll be the one to protect you from .. your choices son"; "I must isolate you ... save you from yourself". Noble sentiment clashing with the selfish desire to have someone's love and safety totally dependent on you. Very intriguing... LOVE it! Oh, and Hellraizer911 & Fallen, perhaps you should pay less attention to silly poems and online squabbles and more to the MUSIC. And use spell check... Pet's True Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/18/10 Most people think it's about a corrupt government lieing to people. It's not. That's why APC made "counting bodies like sheep"... to show that they understand how it could be conveyed as a political song... but this is also why they made "counting bodies" a completely "different" song instead of titling it as a "remix". Although the lyrics are comparable, the messages of the two songs have two different contexts. "Pet" is actually about protecting and preserving the innocence (of our youth and loved ones) by sheltering them from the ugliness of the world. Pet was written most likely for his (Maynard's) son. It is most likely about the personal conflict he endured sheltering his son from (not only the danger, but the lifestyle associated with) his alter ego as a rock star. One of the reasons Maynard seems sso frustrated with his fanbase in his interviews is due to the fact that even his most enlightened fans will grab straws at the first metaphore they hear and run with it. (IE: The song Judith DOES NOT try to relay an Anti-Religious theme. It is moreso a song of admiring the strength of faith even after enduring great hardship and tragedy. Specifically his Mother who was wheelchair bound for approximately 10,000 days and remained faithful to God even after enduring that hardship the rest of her earthly life.) If you listen to the emotion of the instrumentals (and vocals) behind the song Pet, it is moreso about the mood swings (frustration, anger, patience, love, protection) of a parent going to great lengths to protect his/her child. Even the guitar emulates a crying child. The emotional twists in this song portray that innocence is fragile and can be broken at any time if a concerned parent, guardian, or loved one does not remain protective, attentive, and cautious. If you listen to the emotion behind Counting Bodies, it is dark, as if these emotions depicted in Pet are actually being forced upon you against your will. This is why APC even went to the extent of releasing a music video to reinforce this message. To make it abundantly clear that Counting Bodies is about government tyranny. Maynard stated in several interviews that the difference between APC and Tool was the emotional context of the two bands, therefore implying that beyond common metaphore, one must also embrace the emotion behind the song to grasp its true meaning. Also, for those of you wondering, the "New World Order" metaphore is a reference to the "Age of Innocence" (old world) crumbling. The days of the "Brady Bunch" and "Leave it to Beaver" are over, and it's alot harder to remain "innocent" in a world where information travels fast and our children are growing up so quickly. We are in a modern age of enlightenment, a new renaissance reinforced with technology, making innocence ALOT harder to protect. Take into account all the things children can so easily become exposed to, whether it be on TV or the internet. With censorship slimming down and freedom of speach becoming even more openly embraced, it leaves our youth open to ideas that they might not be fully mature enough to embrace yet. It also becomes alot more tedius for parents in this busy New World to protect their children from the horrors and dangers of certain media outlets. awesome | Reviewer: nuBe | 12/2/09 hellraizer and fallen. what a glorious encounter between the two of you. i enjoyed both immeasurably indeed....but i love porn. so as i trawl through the gutter of my mind and the sewer that is the internet, i find temporary reprieve in both of your words. your posts are intellectually AND aesthetically pleasing, as they have graced this board and have lifted it to heights never before envisioned. after all, when the time is destitute, we look to poets to do the bid the gods who have left to come again and enlighten us. its always a blessing to encounter intelligence in the places you least expect :-D keep trawling mofuckas.. With much thanks | Reviewer: Fallen | 9/8/09 I would like to thank you Hellraizer911 :) For giving me a response on my comment, and for giving me an HONEST response, with such tasteful words that leaves a wonderful after effect in my mouth. After all, this is a place to share your consents, ideas, objections, and so on and so forth. This has been a memorable encounter. Especially with someone who is not "trawling for porn" Fallen has risen ;) | Reviewer: Hellraizer911 | 9/1/09 Indeed Fallen, you have broken my mental mold. My perfectly precarious perceptions are perplexed. My imbecilic interpretations of invaluable insight as torturous trash could not have been farther from the testimonial truths, hence unveiled. I humbly prostrate myself at the altar of ego. This concept of emotional enchantment is clearly beyond my rather sapped cognitive faculties and I am not surprised. But in my defense, I admit the suspense, while awaiting your right-minded response. Was far more amusing than simply abusing your initially perplexing jaunt. Once again friends, apologies abound, for my torturous tyrades unfound(ed) *shit*, well I screwed that up didn't. My persistent postulations failed to impress, my intellectual quandary I failed to stress (or even prove any semblance of intellectuality) But give me this, if you will. While trawling the net, abusing perceptions of Pet I can hold my head high through your scorn. Call me a bigot, an ignorant idiot, at least im not trawling for porn. seriously, its been emotional two thumbs up for bein a sport Fallen. pet | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/28/09 I love this song it got me into "alternate reasearch"lol people here are saying tool apc has dif meanings this whole thing is about the new world order and how at the end of the day we ARE pets givin the illusion of freedom Again | Reviewer: Fallen | 8/26/09 My nails are long and clean... My only scar is from a vaccination from my country. Noah is a bass player who hates boys wearing eyeliner, homosexuals, and loves les claypool, so picture that, which will be easy I assume :) No cut marks here except one on my finger tip from cutting an onion I love your response, I really do. What makes me happy is that you read everything *claps* Honestly no hurt feelings, I smiled from "I stumble upon a review titled "My story to this song......" all the way to the end. Any other comments? Truly yours, a stereotype teenager JESUS FUCKING CHRIST | Reviewer: Mevi | 8/26/09 He's talking to his son, DEVO, in this song. It's having to do with the NEW WORLD ORDER and the events that are coming. Martial Law is in the works, and a possible WW3... "The boogeymen are coming!" Just as Maynard has said, "Most people don't get IT." And the Noah shit? Nice interpretation - but it's just not the case. For JC and Rafael Alejo | Reviewer: Fallen | 8/20/09 Notice my title from my previous comment..... MY STORY TO THIS SONG.... I do respect your comments, and the hell if I care what this song really is about. Now if your Maynard himself telling me the meaning about his own song...it still won't change my mind. When I listen to this song, I think about Noah. Nooo I don't think that this is a love song. I just had a story to it, people can be soo intense...its kinda funny.
