| The Noose Lyrics Artist(Band):A Perfect Circle
Completely silent now With heaven's help You've cast your demons out And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud But I'm more than just a little curious How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends To the dead To the dead Recall the deeds as if they're all Someone else's Atrocious stories Now you stand reborn Before us all So glad to see you well And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you to the ground But I'm more than just a little curious How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends To the dead To the dead With your halo slippin' down Your halo slippin' Your halo slippin' down Your halo slippin' down Your halo slippin' down (I'm more than just a little curious How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends) [repeated] Your halo slippin' down Your halo's slippin' down to choke you now If you find some error in The Noose Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about The Noose foolish ppl | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/11/09 why do we have to make since of everything ? even worse why do we force our beliefs onto others keep your opinions to yourself if your going to try and make us believe them that being said this song is about and i quote 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. 9 step | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/20/09 the ninth step in N.A. or A.A. is to making your amends to people you treated bad during an active addiction. of course if your motives are selfish and not sincere it could be a reason not to look at you with admiration. it is difficult for most people i suppose to see a person who thinks is good and spiritually awaken when in reality is egocentric bastard. beautiful song. like it very much. Mr.b.bond@gmail.com | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/24/09 THIS SONG IS NOW ABOUT JESUS OR CHRISTIANITY LIKE A LOT OF MAYNARDS WORK. ITS LESS DEEP ON THE SURFACE AS A SONG BUT JUST THE USUAL DEPTH OF FEELING PLEASE READ... To clear the confusion up... the song is based on a quote that one his friends said --in passing-- coming out of recovery. Referring to all the people that go through treatment & come out with the self righteous attitude of self improvement while not thinking about the lives that they affected while using or what they can/will do to make amends. The quote being something like "I wish I could pull their (the recover-e's) halo down and choke them with it" halo being the self righteous attitude. The atrocious story referring to people during group or whatever as telling stories they heard as their own to sound more... addicted.. fucked up... deserving... who knows. Thust fueling the self righteous feeling because the people saw you as much worse off so they analyze you as a "better" recovery story thus more praise and respect from others. Making recovery another form of outside distraction (which most drugs/alcohol ultimately are to distract you from one thing or another) from looking within and looking at your life and the world and the people YOU affect. I hope this helps. I'm a big fan and I heard the explanation from the writers lips (MJK) and just added my two cents. hi | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/11/09 the song can mean whatever you want it to mean there is no clear as perfect day reasoning to this song because it is written for so many different types of people so just quit looking for the one meaning of the song and start trying to find the meaning that means the most to you. Hmm... | Reviewer: JSC | 3/9/09 It could easily be someone like a drunk driver, who found faith and came clean. Doesn't really help his dead victims, though. And how does one make amends to the dead? Or a junkie who did harm to others. Whatever. Although it does kind of fit George W. Bush, too. He was an alcoholic, right? Found faith, right? Sent people to die in Iraq for no good reason (not to even mention the innocent Iraqis that died during the bombings etc.), right? Yes... So with heavens help he first cast out his demons and got that halo, but then cost a lot of other people their lives and the halo started slipping and he can't make amends with those that died. Although the Iraq war only started in 2003, when this album came out so it's possible he had written that song by that point already. Maynard's VENOM | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/1/09 Hey let's sing about a noose for someone who has overcome addiction, personal demons or whatever. Cleverly sung as if it is not his own intolerance but simply someone's own undoing. HOW NICE. Maynard is personally tormented so others need to be tormented as well. Well we are human and guess what, we DON'T HAVE TO MAKE AMENDS to the dead. What evil person would lay this guilt on someone. Look at the lyrics to SOBER as well. Equally fucked up. And please tell me how one can be Judgemental of a judgemental person without being judged himself by the same standard by which he judges? I am sure that lyrics such as these from the end of TOOL'S Opiate are focused on the establishment but he doesn't adress his attack against the church or institution- "Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life. Open my eyes and blind me with your light and your LIES." Now please tell me who would call Jesus Christ a liar? I mean whatever your religious convictions, he was a human being who caused a quantum leap in consciousness on this planet. Just because organized religion hasn't recognized the full import of what he was saying doesn't make his work less valid. And just because a man makes loads of cash by fostering hopelesness doesn't make him deep. It just makes him a capitalist. What the lyrics are about... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/16/09 It's interesting, people's different views. 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.
