Orestes Lyrics
Artist(Band):A Perfect Circle
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb
One shame
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue,
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me here,
I can almost hear you scream
Give me one more medicated peaceful moment
Give me one more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this
Overwhelming hostility
I don't wanna feel this
Overwhelming hostility
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue,
Keeping me from killing you
Slip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you

Review about Orestes
hello.....apc is awesome! | Reviewer: randy | 4/15/2008I love jesus. I love apc. I love everyone who has a soul. And yes.....we all have one. No ones is better than the other. Life is just a mist.....and then it passes. LIfe is just a test...in which many fail to see..........life is a pool of limitless possibilities.
Really People! | Reviewer: Craven Levay | 3/10/2008
God. Who knows right from wrong? We all do. If you are doing something that you feel is wrong and you do it anyway well that is the Way. Evil is evil good is good. I sin and so does everyone. God is testing us and Matt your flunking. You feel that way because your a quitter. Too much for you to have too many morals to keep you from doing the right things in the name of fun. And you rather burn in hell? You are officially retarded.
friggin excellent song | Reviewer: zach | 2/25/2008
just a superb song beginning to end. i'm quite upset that initially i only listened to the APC thats on the radio and came across this while listening through my albums the other day. just fantastic (so wonderful in fact i had to pick up my guitar to learn how to play it)
in regards to the religious debate, it is indeed about orestes internal struggle with his mother in regards to this father agammemnon, but as with ALL tool and APC lyrics is open to interpretation as maynard has said so many times.
and for all you atheists, i say be who you are. i'll be who i am. i see god everywhere, all the time. i think some people look too hard and expect too much, when the simplest answer has been in front of you the whole time.
RE: 'Matt' | Reviewer: anonymous | 2/11/2008
I have no dark secrets. No skeletons in my closet, though you'll probably deny this. I can't think of a single thing that I really hate about myself. Yet I deny the existence of God. Sure, I've sinned, but I wouldn't call those darks secrets, more like socially accepted activities, such as what keeps the economy going, coveting other people's goods.
I pity the fact that you couldn't even see the general message 'Kitty' was trying to get across, that you shouldn't preach at people who don't want to be preached at, and went straight to attacking her beliefs by saying she's in denial, and 'the Devil' is keeping her back, or whatever. I'm sure most people know who God is, and how he works, nowadays so there really isn't any use preaching to us. I don't believe in him for plenty of reasons. In my personal opinion if God is real, he's the equivalent of a 9-year old bully with a magnifying glass, and we're his ant-hill. Even if we do get to Heaven, would you really enjoy the ever-lasting company of a jack-ass like that? I'd rather burn in Hell with the rest of the fun-loving people who went there because they lived an enjoyable life, rather than the life a stuck-up, condescending Christian like yourself.
Oh, and if people KNOW God is real, I'll gladly listen to and consider the proof.
Hell, the Devil made Rock-and-Roll, according to some of you. Sounds like a cool guy. :D
Anyways, Hell yes, APC! This is a great song!
No one knows | Reviewer: Jorge | 2/5/2008
To Matt:
No one knows for sure. Some believe, and that's fair enough with me. But you don't know. The whole idea of faith is not knowing for sure but for believing. Knowledge needs proof. Now, you may have had some real weird (or holy) personal experience just like other I know have. Then, from that perspective I could acknowledge that someone knew.
This debate however is pointless. I have always amused myself on how much pisses off religious people that others, like me, don'think of an afterlife with an Almighty. What boders you so much? You are going to be saved. Eventually I'm not, so that should be the end of it, shouldn't it? Leave as poor poor atheist with our low conscience of science, reason, and illustration.
You keep your higher one of superstition and going by a book written more than 2000 yeras ago. Yeah, its principles apply perfectly to our time...
abortion?? | Reviewer: seekerofheat | 2/3/2008
this song is not about abortion. obviously you can take it how u want. any good artist would appreciate if u can reflect from there work... but look under the surface a little its not even that hard. you lora must have not been into tool or perfect circle for that long or maynards work at all for that matter. this could be about any relationship including one with drugs or some god??
i dont know why i bother | Reviewer: Matt | 1/31/2008
to "kitty" who posted in nov. of 07...
all those dark things you hate about yourself that youre in denial over. all those dark little secrets you keep inside and only share with your conscience is whats keeping you from god.
there is a god my friend and he dosent share much in religon these days. good deeds dont make a good person. i mean thats what people go to church for is to learn how to be better people. if you naturally dont know how to do it what you tithe is only charity not soul. god isnt found in church or religon hes not where most people look cuz most people are afraid today to look where he really is "inside of you" you can be budist you can be catholic you can be muslim you cn be christian and have god. but because you proclaim a religon dosent mean you have god. words are cheap. he is real and some people KNOW it! others that hide away in their shadows dont know it. there is a true connection between all of gods children some embrace is some run from it.
because you havent found i higher conscience level dont tell those of us who have that there is nothing outside of mortality. because we know there is. and i can only pitty you because you dont know that
meaning | Reviewer: lora | 1/27/2008
I think in this song Maynard is singing about abortion. It's clear from the very beginning of the song when he sings: "One womb, one shame, one resolve" - Meaning, one womb, one shame ( I guess the shame of having a baby growing inside of you) and one resolve (one option, to abort) and then "Liberate this will, to release us all" - suggesting that this is the fairest option for both parties. Then the lyrics: "Gotta cut away, clear away, snip away and sever this, umbilical residue, keeping me from killing you" is a straightforward description of the procedure.
Good song | Reviewer: Joe | 1/25/2008
I think many APC songs are very good and Mer De Noms album is brilliant along with Thirteenth step. I hate the fact that all these songs turn into religious debates on these websites there about reviewing the song, not praising MJK and slating all the other band members. If you want to do that create your own Fansite or visit an existing one and do it. However I do like the Idea's behind this song
story | Reviewer: Esmeralda Rodriguez | 12/4/2007
Actually this song is based on a greek myth about Agamemnon's son Orestes. His mother Clymenstra kills his Agamemnon when he come's back from the Trojan war and Orestes is torn between avenging his father's death and killing his own mother or not dong anything at all.
