I've, since i first heard this song, thought it was political, Maynard asking how to "make amends w/ the dead" it's like yeah sorry you had to go and die in our little war or sorry we killed you in this little skirmish of ours. just my two since. i think everyone's made good points here. recovery | Reviewer: haley | 12/21/08 Recovery is like all other aspects of life, there is good and bad; beautiful and ugly. My life has been drastically changed by the process of making amends but I wonder myself, how do I plan to go about making my amends to the dead? Those people that I loved that I will never see again, relationships that are essentially, dead. People that wouldn't know me if they saw me today. My halo slips down all the time, but I trust in a power greater than myself to keep it from choking me. Its a thought provoking song. How you're plannin to go about making your amends | Reviewer: Jake | 12/16/08 This last line is an excellent point he makes. You have gone through the 12 steps to recovery. You feel empowered by what you have overcome (and you probably should because that dragon is one mean dude). But lets not overlook the fact that you have hurt people, damaged relationships, poisoned your soul and just how are you going to make up for that? People see you as clean and sober now but to the people that have known you your entire life, there is still the image of you vomiting and passed out in a pool of your own urine that can never be erased. nothing to do with religion | Reviewer: Ideguchi | 11/26/08 "On the aMOTION commentary, Maynard says that this is about what he heard at a speech. The speaker said something to the effect of "Don't let your halo choke you to death when it's hanging there around your neck". He said this is about when people feel high and mighty because they beat their addiction. He is trying to let them know that even though they beat the addiction, they still can't forget all of the hardships they put themselves and other through. Beautiful song and one of Maynard's favorites." it's not religion | Reviewer: Ideguchi | 11/26/08 it has nothing to do with religion.. by his own words he heard a speech in a society that helped ppl addicted to drugs and the guy said "And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud" then, he thought about this and made this song about getting free of drugs. Addiction or something terrible | Reviewer: rich | 11/26/08 i know its your opinion but i don't know how you got christianity out of those lyrics. It's clearly about someone who has just come through something terrible with people's help, i.e. an addiction. He's sayig just because they beat the thing it doesn't give them the right to forget the terrible things they've done to themselves and others. They have to work just as hard to make ammends as they did to get through it. Religion etc. | Reviewer: Jesus | 10/20/08 IMO the song's about Christianity and the horror it's left in its wake (see: the Crusades, witch trials, slavery, sexism, persecution of any and just about every minority such as homosexuals, blacks etc). Christians today act like those were the acts of a misguided past society who interpreted the word of their God incorrectly, but the fact remains that they were listening to the exact same word as Christians today are, and someone has to take responsibility for all the damage religion has done and all the lives that have been taken in God's name. When the assertion that the Christian God is supremely benevolent is put in perspective with all the atrocities that Christianity has wrought, the halo starts slipping down. what i think the song is | Reviewer: Brianna | 8/7/08 This song is simply about a 12 step program and he is making fun of the people in it really. How they stand before all present and tell their horror stories as if it was someone else. He seems happy for them but just wants to know how is it that they are going to make amends to the dead. I love the song and find no offense to it even though I am one of those people that "stand reborn before us all". (meaning I am sober in a telve step for 5 yrss) I find that this man has a great thinking mind and i like his boldness to say whats up. my thoughts | Reviewer: jason | 7/28/08 sounds to me like all the rest sead he hade a problem or became some on famous or somethign and saying like not meaning to pull u off ur cloud but how are u gona apologise to all the people u steped on to get here and how u cant escape what u done and no matter what some time or another there gona come back loose application, good song overall | Reviewer: sky | 4/1/08 to me, this sounds like someone who walked among some kind of group of people that were looked down upon in someway, and then one day the person had some kind of revelation, like maybe he found god being the most obvious one, but it could really be anything, the point being, something happens to this person to elevate him above these people... and now, he feels enlightened or whatever, and he turns his back to the people he embraced prior to his "enlightenment," after maybe becoming arrogant and becoming high and mighty, with what he has acquired. maynard confronts him, asking him what makes him so special and in general exposes him as what he has become, and making amends to the dead seems symbolic as a representation of the people the person left behind and maybe spit upon.
