To those who haven't traveled down this path, it is a disease past the point of habit, one I will unfortunately deal with for the rest of my life. Maynard gave me hope in that there ARE people who have gone through what I have. And understand the pain in having to forgive yourself for the damage you place upon others when caught up in addiction. It's a sad feeling when all your friends and family are there to help you, yet you don't feel worth their efforts. Truly touching song. What I get from this song. | Reviewer: Jennifer | 3/26/08 This song is so beautiful, so powerful, yet it reminds me of an emotionally abusive ex. He had everyone fooled, he was basically leading a double-life. I knew better, though, he was a monster in disguise. He went around in life taking everything from everyone. I'm more than a little curious how he's going to go about making amends. He stood there - in his new life without me after destroying mine - halo and all - But in the end it'll destroy him. He'll have to answer to "someone" eventually later on. Karma, God, another love, whatever. With his halo slipping down - to choke him. He basically fucked himself over after fucking people over for too long. My thoughts - a more general view | Reviewer: Todd | 3/15/08 The beauty of Tool and A Perfect Circle is that any one person can have a completely different view on the meaning portrayed in the lyrics and this view is my own. I like thinking of this song as describing someone who has had a dark past, perhaps drugs as many of you have suggested but I think it is more general than that. I believe this song sings to anyone who has had a drastic change for the better in their life, anyone who has "cast their demons out". This person has found god in the sense that they have righted their wrongs, they're now so high up on their cloud, looking down on you. I think Maynard is saying "Good for you for fixing what is wrong, but by doing this you are in no way better than everyone else, there is no way to erase the past. You must still live with your past and all the burdens that remain. (The people hurt, the damage done)" This song is basically a satirical reminder to of all those people who make a selfish recovery from a hole to remember the people down in that whole with them. Definately one of my favorite songs ever, check out Lateralus if you want to have your mind blown. I think... | Reviewer: Linda | 3/16/08 that it also might mean that there is this asshole person that treats his friends and family like shit... possibly an abusive father or an abusive boyfriend or person who treat someone they're suppose to love really bad and cruelly. then the person dies or it could be parents that has been putting up with the heartache of addict child. then they die. this asshole person gets better and becomes a good person and changes. however, the damages are done, this changed person can't make it up to the girlfriend, parent, friend or whomever because they have passed away. they have to live with it and even if they've become a better person, the dead will never witness this because they can't. this changed person can never make amends with the dead. the dead ones memory of this person before they die will be of how they were such a bad person who caused them misery until they died. this is possibly sends another message while people are alive because life is fragile, you should take advantage of that and treat them good. None of the above | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/08 This just another interpretation, but I don't think this is about any specific person or event. It's about people in positions of power who do horrible things, get found out, and then publicly say they've made their peace with God and have been forgiven. Maynard is saying, "It's great that you've made peace with god and you're up high on your cloud in heaven, but what about all the dead you left in your wake?" Think Ted Haggerty and the like. The Crucible | Reviewer: Haroon | 1/23/08 Is it just me or is anyone else seeing a possible reference to John Proctor from the Crucible? I kno it isnt the idea behind it, but can anyone else see how it fits rather nicely??? Art & Language | Reviewer: Pekida363.360.77 | 1/10/08 its really pathetic if the real Maynard did not appreciate the another person, fans, opinion... it's a free new world order, you involved in something abstract like music & language... it is an open matters... You call yourselves artists, but have never crawled a metre... God, drug, war etc... be jaded and become a freemason!!! open your minds argue with it! | Reviewer: myspace.com/princesscailey | 12/27/07 you guys are fighting over song lyrics.. seriously... get a brain..they leave songs open like this so every one can relate to them thus creating more fans.. the point is .. that apc and tool are all songs about post drug use and past... the effects you get from them and withdraw. i agree with what someone said up there.. don't listen to this song if u are in the process of recovering.. during the stages of my drug use i have interpreted the words completely different than the time before. now that im done and i have a clear mind. i see the real meaning. i am a hard core tool and apc fan..the song noose is trying to say sorry to burst your bubble but you fucked up.. glad to see your better now, a new person, but that old person is still inside, dead, but scarring your mind and heart... that pain will never go away though that state of mind will with a correct chemical balance ... how are you going to forgive yourself once you realized how bad you got? end of story. =) You're all a bunch of tools | Reviewer: Tristan | 12/22/07 I agree with Ashton on the intention of the song. It gives no suggestion of Jesus, and the references to halo's and God are simply metaphor. Don't take it so literally or you've forgotten the point of music. wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/07 I cant believe someone would think this song is about Bush, war, or Jesus. MJK lyrics are meant to be taken in multiple ways, but not like that. jesus. Thirteenth Step is all about drug addiction and recovery, that should give all your dumbasses some sort of a hint.
