The irony of watching (and loving) this video, and wanting to instantly share it with people online. So they watch it on their phone. Thus repeating the cycle against this video's message.
Rocked when I heard it for the first time, I was connecting the silicon obsession to our cell phones. I was not disappointed by this video.
well , this is worth spending a little more time on the phone :)
So, we just wait for people to watch on tv... wait nobody watch tv anymore. It was the same with tv back then, we all connected with something to pass life as fast as possible.
that exact thought stopped me from sharing it
wait a minute that's why the girl went back to the darkens of technology with the lighter, the video is the lighter and we need to go back to the social media and post it everywhere!!!
Two of the most liberating things in my life were, sobriety and quitting social media.
@earthling94 amen to that!
Good thing I never got started
Deleted social media over a year ago, and have not regretted it one bit. Social media is a cancer on the world.
Yet you comment.. I know it was 2 years ago.
C'mon
I love Tool & A Perfect Circle so much. Their music has literally changed my life and I am so grateful for their existence. I don't give a fuck if I sound crazy. I don't give a fuck if I sound obsessive. The music they create is absolutely beautiful.
100% agree with you. Tool and APC has changed my life too and not only are they both great bands, but their music really makes you think
Tyler Keller No you don’t sound crazy! Their music has gotten me through my life and I have been listening to them from the start and still do to this day!
I doubt Tool or APC literally changed your life. That's just you giving voice to your feelings.
You didn't mention puscifur. If you haven't heard them check them out.
What about pusifier?
This album came out 2 years too early. The tone and message is PERFECT for right now.
The tone and message was entirely written against the messaging of the right during the election cycle that got the current president elected. At least the conveyed messaging, anyway.
Any JMK related album can never be released too early :-D
@@kevinesser789 Any MJK, too! ;)
Prophecies always come early.
@@Vector_Nectar ahahaha just three letters and I messed it up...
I thought I am able to deal with my keyboard - disillusioned
One of Maynard's best vocal performances. THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL.
Christian Meunier not one of the best tho
I agree, it does not even sound like Maynard at times, absolutely beautiful.
@@DGRIFF Agreed he sounds like multiple people throughout the album. I don't really know any other singer who can double track and sound like two completely different people lol
💚🙏👌
“Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now. You were never an island.” F*ck me in the heart.
Right??
We as a species cannot survive on our own. As it stands, society turns its back on the most vulnerable. There's homelessness, wage slavery, tens of thousands are left to die because of lack of healthcare. All in the "greatest country to ever exist." The "richest" country. It's considered rich because of Wall Street and corporations.
eww
@@heavymetalhippie9217 I'd find it too frightening and heartbreaking to live in the US. It is so incredibly individualistic, there's a huge culture of self-sufficiency, total personal responsibility (we have some, but there's a lot about ourselves we're not responsible for), it is a very convenient ideology for the population to have from the point of view of big businesses and the ultra rich. Narcissism is rewarded and if something bad happens to you and you don't have a very supportive family, you're carrion. Not that collectivism is the answer, it can also be crap. It's just shockingly extreme over there, so many people in miserable living conditions and the tolerance of ultra rich people who openly cheat their way out of paying taxes in ways that normal people can't, to avoid giving back to the living, breathing system that allowed them to succeed. The pandemic makes people poorer, or homeless, and Bezos gets wealthier. It's like the population must passively watch these giant parasites suck the blood out of their country because they are protected by the State, so they might as well like it and try to become one of them
This song makes me cry 😭. I am an island i feel.
My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Darius, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life...
😓
We are all going to get there. May we rest in peace...
This comment was written a year ago. Why is there some random short posted on that account from months ago?
@@tomlxyz I have seen this comment on many other videos...
What are the other five songs, if you are comfortable to share it ?
Lyrics to this awesome song❤️
We have been overrun by our
animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We've become
Disillusioned
So we run
Towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Hey, how long? Oh
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning into each other, lift all higher
Thank you!
Such depth, such art, such poetry
Pictures and words with power
The truth layed bare on the floor
How did this happen
Why couldn't everyone see
The price of our desires
The price of our participation
We are guilty, all of us, if being wooed and distracted
We never knew or misguided values could lead to this
The Anthropocene
We are at the ledge of an abyss
Some you could even say 1 percent tighten there grip
They know better than the masses what's coming. Theyve had the data for years
They are even building on Mars and are going to put space stations in space
The back up plan for the most guilty of us, and the few.
With fires, floods, threats of financial calapse, and pandemic the rest of us begin to see
That we have painted ourselves in the corner and the paint is lava. Biodiversity begins to unravel, the polar ice caps melt and shift,
Whispers of an extinction first animals now man. Which is sad considering man took fate by the hand.
Snks
So portico what a masterpiece
The sad, desperate truth. It's here with more to come.
The new black mirror episode is looking great 👏
METAL AF lolol. Awesome.
whats that?
Lets be honest, this song is about how pissed he gets when people record him during shows lmao.
ODIEkriss or when his audience is on their phones lol it's announced at the beginning of all his shows to not bring out your phones or you'll be removed by staff
Wasn't announced at the show I attended however, I saw a sign. But... my kid called and I'm not ignoring my son.
In reality, I think he is just upset that people are more fixated on the future than the present. Enjoy the moment, atmosphere, ambience. Recordings are a mere shadow of the reality that people notoriously sacrifice, to satisfy a fax paus existence that relies on likes and followers, rather than real and exusive moments, experiences and emotions. I don't think he cares that people record because it costs him financially bust more so because it costs the recorder of that unrecoverable, and unpredictable moment in time... Your point is definitely humourous and bordering valid, but most definitely missing his point. Ps. He is trolling with the delayed Tool album. :D
And to hold up a lighter instead like concerts in the past. Now people use their phone in the flashlight mode.
I'm pissed off when people record using their phone during a concert. It's distracting and annoying as fuck. And a lot of times there's a little light on the front that indicates if somebody is recording and this can be incredibly distracting for musicians
I love how at the end of the song the screen fades to black, while he is still singing. So that you are looking at your reflection in your screen. I wonder if this was done on purpose.
Daaaaaamn bro that's a deep observation 👏👏
Maynard never does anything accidentally
Except I’m watching it on youtube and I’m blasted with images of the next video to click on. It’s what I hate so much about youTube.
damn, got a non-reflective screen! Good observation though, another layer.
Yeah, it’s the black mirror
Forgive me for being Capitan Obvious, but some people might benefit from knowing this video is a modern example of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. It’s ingenious; I love it.
did not know that, thank u. see , that's exactly why i love Maynards work. if u care to look. there's substance there. which is more than can be said for a lot of bands. nothing obvious about it
Can you explain a bit more. I dont know what that is.
@@johnlancaster1592 Sorry for the delay, John. I'm no expert and you could just google it, but I'll give it a go. Plato has a theory called the "Divided Line." At the most basic level, it's about different levels of thought, from low to high, ranging from imagination/ opinion/ personal beliefs to, at the highest level, Reason. The Cave Allegory is how he conveys the Theory. In it, you can imagine people that have always lived in a cave. They are bound by shackles or something like a medieval stockade and have never seen the outside world, only images produced by people behind them. These people, controlling the prisoner's perceptions of the world, use a fire to create shadow puppets on the wall. Miraculously, one day, a person escapes and follows the sunlight to an exit and experiences the real world. The sunlight in the crack of the door is the giveaway in the video. Likewise, if I'm not mistaken, when the awakened person goes back to free the others, they are unconvinced and uninterested, mistakenly thinking that he is a crazy person and choose to go on believing their version of reality. In a time of misinformation, memes, trolls, bots, and the Right-Wing Echo Chamber in general, the Cave Allegory is foundational in our trying to understand the world around us. The main take away for me is this: "Why do I believe what I believe?" and "Did I come to these conclusions myself, rationally, or by people trying to control my thoughts?"
@@ryanhill9707 wow, thanks so much! Thats awesome you found that in the video, without this comment I wouldve completely skipped over this. Super cool stuff, seriously thanks!
@@ryanhill9707 I'm going to say it is more based off of A Brave New World.
Cannot wait for the new album. The singles are all beyond amazing.
true
you really had to edit that comment?
lol idiot
you really couldnt just answer to HIM not to me about it? and whos the idiot here?
BIG BOSS Yes. A grammar correction. I didn’t know it was going to bother you so much.
@@Utubesuxmycock Narcissistic personality disorder must really suck, hey?
Finally! A song with a message to the modern world it desperately needs.
Hell YES
more like, a whole album
a message that everyones know what is since 2012 ahahaha
Posted on youtube...
Charles Drake right
This is why Maynard James Keenan is one of my all time favorite musicians and entrepreneurs. He feels everything he does and lives life to the fullest. Something I am striving toward right now. It's time to take back our lives and live as we are meant to be. Whole.
You know it.
Imagine all the conspiracy theories that you have heard ever were real.
We are being misled into believing that we should pick one theory or another.
I believe that the virus is real - just not exactly what has been reported.
The bull shit tests not testing for anything but exosomes is real - and there was plenty of evidence around to prove it.
Probably still is - just harder to find now.
If you are one of the people who thinks the virus is real - I think you are right.
If you don't agree with anything David Icke said but you believe in freedom of speech - then you are definitely on the right track
f you think the test is bull shit - I think you are right.
If you believe the vaccine has nanites hidden within it to utilise future 5g technology - I think you are right.
If you think Bill Gates has a hidden agenda - I think you are right.
If you have heard about Bill Gate's involvement in the company that produces the modelling for climate change and the spread of the corona virus (covid-19) - I think you may be on to something.
If you also heard he has involvement in the company that makes the vaccine - I think you need to start paying attention.
If you also came across the clip on YT (fucken censors suck) of Bill Gates mentioning that vaccines will reduce the worlds population - then I think maybe it's time to start taking this a little more seriously.
If you are even slightly worried about what's going on - I am worried we are underestimating the possible future impact.
If you are in your house right now because the tv told you to - then it's time to wake up.
You took the words out of my mouth 4 years earlier. I was gonna say some of us could aspire to achieve that state of living. With courage and hope, NO fear.
"We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering..."
Poetry. That's what makes this more than just a song. Together with the music... its art.
If we were all were of the same heart and internal intention of good of Gods will. We could work together helping eachother with Love as our intention to create and manifest the greatest artwork of all. Happiness and Unity. Heaven~~~
maybe
It's not just music, nor art, but it's reality, and how we are enslaved to this manufactured prison.
As someone that suffers with depression this song resonates with me. "You were never an island." I'm a complete introvert with depression desperately searching for a quick high to kill the depression temporarily. "Dopamine on dopamine" the dopamine high wears off revealing a blacked out world so I dig deeper to find that next high while ignoring the colorful, natural, beauty of the world around me and the people in it. "Lift all higher" talking can truly help one escape the suffocating grasp of depression.
This is my connection with the song. Everyone has their own opinion. Thank you APC for helping me do some reflecting. Cheers.
Chris Hewitt I'm on a similar boat. Severe depression and anxiety for the past 7 years... and that is the same exact line that resonated the most with me. Hope you're holding up.
Gabriela Fermin Holding up as best as one can. Hope you are doing well also. Just remember you are better than the darkness.

Chris Hewitt you are not alone!
Are you me?
This song bring upon an overwhelming flood of emotions now that I’ve come back to it in early 2022! God damn, Maynard never fails to amaze me!
Got to see this for my first time ever being in Colorado for my first time and at red rocks. Maynard's voice was spot on. Sessanta was a great show.
This song gives me chills everytime I listen to it.
MJK is like a fine wine that just keeps keeps getting better
Amazing video! Love that message at the end. We may not be able to save everyone but if we can gather just a few and show them theres a real world out there to be experienced and they do the same then we can conquer the monster that is social disconnect!
kerflap very true
kerflap I am in agreement
Fuckin wow. This is an amazing song in structure, performance, production and most importantly, how well it communicates message. A work of art that will last ages.
It's not the music I was looking for, but definitely the music I needed.
I dig it ...reminds me of the story of Plato and the allegory of the cave ...I told this story to my daughter recently about how others live in an illusion cause they watch the shadows in the cave ... never realizing the shadows are coming from the light outside of the cave ...beautiful piece ... dug the audio and now the video paints a whole new picture ... beautiful ...
Never checked the comments to this video, but I'm glad I did, I feel much the same
It is literally that!
You are an awesome dad by teaching that to your daughther.
Parenting done right!!!
This song is just what we need in these chaotic times. Thank you based Maynard.
Maynard is such a genius songwriter, the whole band is the perfect Storm.
Every time I listen to this song I cry. I love Maynard so damn much 😩
Let me cry with yu 2
Ahhhh finally!!! We are all a little Disillusioned at times....but isn’t that the norm these days?!
Maynard hitting the nail on the head as always!
🍷A toast....it's Brilliant!
fuck the norm
You got the same picture as I.
full tip
AND I
The problem is that it is the norm.
The song isn't criticizing technology or phone use in general, so you can all stop with the self-deprecating commentary about how we're all just ironic, tragic hypocrites for using these devices to view this. They're addressing obsessive, compulsory behavior and being a kind of slave to this pacifying, though ultimately unfulfilling kind of escapism that so many people unfortunately use these devices for. There's obviously plenty of potential to actually utilize them to network insightful content, hence a group of artists / musicians creating this and using this platform to share it with the world.
Liberating Reality Exactly the point is not the use of it, it's the obsessive overuse with all social media sucking us in to constantly worrying about checking our choice of technologies... It's beautiful as usual Maynard! Reminds me of "Bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum." And only "simple minded people" are the ones that aren't viewing this the right way!
how about people are so STUPID TODAY , he had to spell it out in this video simply to get his message across this is not his type of video but hey gotta wake up the stupids some how n he had no choice but to make a corny video because dumb people would never figure out the words alone they need visuals like children do
Liberating Reality
Ashley Sowers I think more than the excessive use of it it's the validation through it that is the problem. Chasing a high for likes and validating through them is never healthy in any amount.
Liberating Reality well said....you hit that right on the head and over the heads and shoulders of those who just don't get it and those are the ones who are lost as much as the ones they criticise.
7.14.23 This is such a beautiful and prescient song. To wish the message of this song reaching its desired effect is worth a prayer 🙏.
So glad I discovered this band. This song is a masterpiece.
⚔️⚔️⚔️⚡⚡⚡THERE IS NO POWER GREATER IN THE UNIVERSE, THAN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST✝️✝️✝️

🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
THERE IS SALVATION IN THE NAME OF ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
THERE IS FREEDOM AND HEALING IN THE NAME OF ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡ every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that ⚡JESUS CHRIST IS LORD⚡to the glory of God the Father."
Philippians 2:9-11, KJV
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Acts 4:12, KJV
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man ⚡CHRIST, JESUS."⚡
1 Timothy 2:5, KJV
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
The name ⚡JESUS⚡ is a Greek male name meaning “Saviour”.
There is a great number of Jewish males who has the name Jesus, but what made ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ so special?
Unlike us who got our names from family members, ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ got His name from HEAVEN delivered to His parents by angels. He really did what the meaning of His name is, He saved us.
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
By being faithful to the task given to Him, humbling Himself, even becoming obedient to the point of death and volunteering to die for the sins of many, God exalted ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡by giving power to the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST.⚡
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
Now we know a name that is above all other names given on earth. There is now no situation that is above the name of ⚡JESUS⚡CHRIST⚡No preacher, doctor, sangoma or demon’s name can be compared to the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡for it is a strong tower where the saints run to. Whatever we face, our first option should always be to call upon the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST,⚡ for through that name the foundations are shaken and demons tremble.
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
Diabetes is just another name, HIV is just a name, poverty is just a name, so is depression, loneliness, unemployment and all of those things keeping you captive.
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
The Bible teaches us that there is a name above all other names that we know. Whatever circumstances, trials or tribulations we are facing, they are just names which are all under one greater name - ⚡JESUS CHRIST.⚡
So when you are feeling down and out and in need of direction, call upon the name of ⚡JESUS⚡CHRIST⚡ and He shall set you free.
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
For He is the way, the truth and the life. We now have the proxy of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ and that is why when we pray, we pray in the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ and then HEAVEN has to respond because the name of ⚡JESUS CHRIST⚡ is like an identification card, whenever we use it heaven will respond.
🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨
PLEASE DO NOT DELAY IN YOUR SALVATION..AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE ⚡LORD JESUS CHRIST⚡ TODAY.

Unique voice among the many in this choir
Malagant been around for at least a decade. Look up perfect circle songs
At least a few songs I carried through my childhood
it's part of the lyrics, Austin.
Lol my bad XD
This line actually perfectly describes A Perfect Circle as a band.
His awesome, beautiful style of singing knows no bounds! There is a clear, distinct difference between Tool and Perfect Circle! I love his voice so much!
Idk why i'm crying rn.. this song just like slapin my goddamn face to put down the phone for a while..
Miss good old days..
Dopamine on dopamine
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this pavlovian despair
We've become disillusioned
So we run towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning in to each other, lift all higher
Dopamine on dopamine
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become disillusioned
So we dive like crows towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around, find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique voice among the many in this choir
Tuning in to each other, lift all higher
Michely Felix I like this modern interpretation of Plato's Cave.
Thanks for posting lyrics!
Find a way- MJK
Michely Felix holy shit!! How did you get hold of this?
Ric Schmeelk 😉
Beautiful, simply beautiful❤
This song is amazing, It touches my soul about different things the song isnt even talking about, Incredible masterpiece. A perfect Circle is truly a modern day Mozart.
I heard this song for the first time today and started crying. There's so many people I wished I could play this song for, hoping that it would stir something genuine in them. It seems I am always trying break things down to a basic human level with people.. But they are too scared to go there. Such a pity, such a waste.
This is one of the most profound songs of our generation.
Real music isn't dead yet
Yet
real music has been always over there... but it's music that you have to find by your own
+feu u have never been more wrong my friend the day good music dies humanity dies with it
+外国人说中文 amrica cannot be helped it is DOOMED
There’s more real music out there than ever before, you just have to look for it
This song rings in the truth so hauntingly beautiful. thank you Maynard.
Maynard you have to be one of thee Most Aware Musicians of our time. Mad Respect 🙏 🫡
Be an aware human-being, now you're on the same level.
Cheers. 🍻
This song is so powerful!! All of the new songs are great. I've missed this kind of music when artists would get involved in social realism and modern day issues. Can't wait for the complete album!
This video is like an episode of Black Mirror. I love it and makes me feel sad at the same time.
This is a *masterpiece.*
I cannot help but cry with this song and imagery at this moment. The facility is ever more becoming a blatant reality as everyone around me gets fed and conditioned by all of this media, pushing people away....dividing them, when we need to reject these narratives and actually work together, not against each other. The worst part is i feel powerless to stop this, and friends and family are ever more becoming enemies not only to each other, but also to me. I stand in the middle and watch our history be erased, art being destroyed/neutered, no such thing as a joke anymore unless it is the right joke and checks all boxes. A small voice against this cacophonous chorus that drowns out all meaning, and all intellectual recourse. I am saddened by this, on all sides.
Hey man! My name is, Thomas William Cogburn, and I’m from Santa Clara, Ca. I now live in Dos Palos. Yep. It’s a small town but it’s got a lot of love to where it feels like the whole world is here sometimes. Hey... if you ever want to talk to a friend my number is +12098298455. I’m straight btw FYI...nothing wrong with any preferences... It’s about having allies and life is waking up so I guess we should too. BR549
Cute
I feel you. Tears first time. The reference to Pavlov technique soooo true.
Our last hope is no longer on the WH. We are banana republic and any hope we actually had is completely gone thanks to media monopolies and power over information. Everything from BLM to tearing down statues to cancel culture stems from this social media b.s. It's created an echo chamber millions of strong and cancels any alternative idea.
You are spot on.....
Irony at its best, watching on my tablet. Maynard strikes again. Truly mesmerizing and hypnotic
Craig Baldwin what? mesmerizing and hypnotic? man, you are the person he is talking out. you have to find a way to break the cycle. to see the deception and be above it.
Perfect song to represent our society as a whole… My teenage daughter is suffering poor human interaction because of her obsession with her phone.. Trying to even talk about the obsessive use turns total defense mode. It really saddens me.
Yes.
This.
Sorry to hear.
I like how freedom is apparently into the void anyway, and that, although void surrounds us, we face each other or face the void together. It's not about redemption, only intersubjectivity in the ineluctable void. We're asked not to face another distractive alternative to self-deception, but to face the nothing from which our distractions distract.
I close my eyes and float away at the end of the song
APC layin down that contemporary social commentary like it’s 2018.
Best birthday present ever ^.^
Thezlington Killed Kenny Happy Birthday
Thank you! 💙
Happy Birthday ... Greetings from Germany :)
happy birthday ❤️❤️
Thezlington Killed Kenny happy B Day from Puerto Rico.
We all need people. The wrong ones around you will ruin your life. Get rid of the people who don't want the best for you, who are one-sided, or sabotage any of your success.
People like that make life seem intolerably difficult.
Whether these are racists, misogynists, or simply envious people, you don't need any of that shit in your life.
Make them violating your boundaries hurt, legally, etc.
I’ve listened to \this so many times. I hope I’m not the only one.
Once again APC just like TOOL opening minds and waking them up to feel something else that is not our desire to be stuck something that is obsolete and non-productive or helpful
This needs to be heard and seen by everyone.
Been a fan of APC, TOOL & since the early 90’s when I first heard em. But THIS entire album has moved me beyond any other work Maynard has done. It’s like he touches my soul. Sounds crazy I know but fuck ! It’s APC best album yet IMO. Don’t get me wrong i absolutely love all their other work it’s just maybe with age I can appreciate it more. Don’t know , don’t care. It says something different to me every time I listen. Eat a couple caps , put the ear pods in turn this one and close my eyes. Takes all my pains away!
Will forever and always love anything Maynard is part of ❤
Great symbolism with the "scales" falling from her eyes
I find this to be some of the most beautiful poetry I've heard on APC. I don't know if the lyrics are Maynard's or Howerdell's but whoever penned this...thank you.

Im 37 years old, and was always proud to state that I have seen world prePhones and preSmartphones and Internet. This Stuff changed society way more that we are aware of. And even if I really believe that in some decades we find a way back, there is no way back. But its really not a natural thing. We lost something beautiful. Im asking every parent out there to keep it away from children as long as possible, even its getting harder every year.
We are electric beings. I love this message. The universe is working. Find the light.
Amazing lyrics from one of the most talented artists around.
Thank you Maynard!!
Technology is wonderful, but when technology disconnects us from life, from others, we are prisoners.
Will be in mental telepathy then.
We are all connected. We all have a Holy Gauardian Angel.
@Ezra Milos let people say what they want. they shouldn't have to conform to what you think is lame, or overused. later.
@Ezra Milos yup
i don't mean anything rude by it lol
Love this partnership with The Planetary Society and Everyday Astronaut! Happy Eclipse Day!
I love how when the screen goes black, I see my face in the reflection of my phones screen… gotta love it! I’m definitely an addict of the immediate.
Damn, that moment she took those contacts out and all the colors come back hit me so hard with a tidal wave of emotion. Thank you 🙏
These guys and Tool have spoke to me since I was 15 years old.
She was in the circle and realized she was only another link in the same chain. The unbreaking endless cycle of monotonous thought. She broke free. She saw the truth. The lighter was a torch for humanity. A beacon of hope that there is more. This band is not just music. It’s true art. Maynard and all that have been a part of his works are artists. This beautiful work and all albums from APC will be cherished decades from now. I’m glad I was alive to personally buy every album. I’ve healed that much more because of each one.
I don't know why but this song gets me emotional every single time i listen to it, even after 4 years. So moving and the video is amazing.
This is truly a classic in the making; A Perfect Circle. Loved this band since 2000, and never disappointed
I watched this on a borrowed VHS copy from a friend I haven't seen in years.. so there.
bullshit
no shit
Lmao
More and more this video speaks the truth of the youth today being obsessed with their phones.
Spot on in todays world, esp with the new apple goggles, they got us by our brains, with all our info and what, where, who, when at all times, even calculating our heart rate with the watches... scary how disconnected but connected we are..
This makes me feel like throwing my phone away... But then I can't listen to this song again.
SKD 99 true!
The song is more about our addiction, rather than technology being "evil". it's message is more about putting the phone down every once in a while and taking in the sights.
Quantum Ashes yes, I agree. We should draw a line between using something and being addicted. And ofcourse we can't run away from technology even if we wanted to, because the world wants us to run at the same pace as everyone else.
Esteban Paz Reyes of course I can, but just try to get the essence of the joke here..
Esteban Paz Reyes lol, am not. I understood what you wanted to say.
Gosh that's why they're so fuckin awesome. Love a perfect circle. Billy's guitar riff is hauntingly beautiful
Currently listening to this while taking apart my laptop. Perfection *chef's kiss*
I have just been saved and then I find this video and shivers running up and down my spine, this is exactly what is happening! Please, those who have been saved, reach out to the lost!
Well, clearly I missed the message. I'm watching this instead of doing my homework.
same, actually
I was looking for an angry head banger and found this soulful soft plea to this and my generation lost to handhelds. One of the most meaningful and on target messages I have heard.
Same.
That is A Perfect Circle., If you have ever heard any of their other music
The things ego has us chase will never measure to the love of Sophia
“You em were never an island” makes me cry because it implies you always thought you were. I always have.
Such a masterpiece, these lyrics are showing us the cruel reality where we are living, "tuning into each other, lift all higher"
Wish this song was not only more known, but more understood. This world, at least on the patch of dirt where i reside, has become so lonely.
It's THE best A Perfect Circle song ever. I can't wait to hear and watch more stuff like this.
I just can,t explain,how good this song is.....
This video makes me want to go live in a forest, away from everything... off the grid.
The APC drum sound is so amazing. You can pick it out a mile away. I love the piano in this track too.
Really relevant song nowadays. And probably will stay it for a long time...
This is Plato's allegory of the cave for modern times. Brilliantly visualized!!!!!!!
Choking back tears watching this music video... I've never had to do that watching a music video... oh my God... Well done... Very Well Done... I feel it's my life's purpose to show people "the light" or "wake them up" so to speak.. And I don't mean religiously.. This video touched my soul.. as does anything Maynard + his crew seems to put out.
I listen to this with headphones 🎧 loud on 5 grams of mushrooms, it was profound, deep , brilliant, master piece, , last track just started,😊, having the best time.
Sounds amazing...
I need your trip playlist because hell yeah!
This goes out to all the people who think Maynard has lost his voice... if anything, it's beautifully improved. And NO, THERE IS NO AUTOTUNE on it. This song is just so brilliantly crafted and PERFORMED!!! The quiet sections remind me of laying on my back in an open grassy field, staring at the blue sky and being content.
We are so blessed to live in the same time and space as He 😭💗
This album is brilliant
this is the single greatest song, I have listened to tool since my childhood. Remembering my father playing lateralus keys when the internet was a baby....
Fast forward 20 years I'[m obssessed with the hidden meanings and enjoy this so much more.
Who would have known I would have got on a plane to play EDM concerts only to find out I moved close to were Maynard resides. Love it, Would love to ask the artist to do an upbeat remix to play to the EDM community. They need to shy away from substance.
10 out of Infinity
I was a huge fan of APC, and I lost track of them, and then I heard this, damn!! Blew my mind... Maynard is God..
