Thirteenth Step
SONG MEANING
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.
Well guys its Dec 2020, Like If you made it this far and are still listening to APC
The noose looks tempting
Yep.
..sigh
Tool too
Better then listening to AOC
I would, when I was 14, always listen to this album at night, waiting for my friends to come knock on my window. I can't quite explain how good it felt, to see their faces at my bedroom window, and to have these songs in my headphones. I will always remember looking up when they knocked and their smiles. I was in a foster home for being seriously abused- locked in a cage and beaten like an animal by my psychopathic father. I don't know how I survived the years there. But all my fear and pain were gone the moment I saw my first friends through a window, that I was about to climb out of. Good god you guys. I can't believe I am still alive. I joined the military to escape foster care and group homes. I decided to kill myself while in Afganistan. I had been given an Ipod with lots of Tool on it and I decided I loved music so much I would listen to Lateralus before I killed myself in the humvee. Then "We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion" came through the headphones and into my mind for the first time. I never spoke of this before emailing Danny Carry about it - letting him know that Tool literally kept me alive in the most horrible place I have ever been. He put out an article recently along those lines and I think it was due to my email. Anyway, just keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going.
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. And I am so happy you did not take your life. Thank you for serving my country. Peace.
I hope that you are well.
I almost cried too, what a beautiful story, I dont know you but Im glad you are alive. Tool and APC are life changing.
Thanks for your service God bless you and your family

Has anyone even noticed how amazingly intricate the drums are in this song?
Hells yeah! That's the most intriguing part I think...that build up is amazing
I have! Very well executed. 👏
You aren't alone. 👏
Josh Freese. He's sick
Yes, love it
This album feels like recognition of pain, clarity and healing from trauma, despite how much it tries to pull you down. It is cathartic.
My cat is Obsidian also😊 my protector ✌🏻
I often wonder how many lives this album has LITERALLY saved. I know at least one. Many years ago a young man started to do some stupid shit and was reminded that these feelings pass and situations change. I am grateful for the hands that wrote every note of an album that has been so impactful on my life for over a decade. For those of you hurting. There is one that feels you and understands. Spiral on and keep going.
I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s “spiral out,keep going”
Fucking A
Yeah..
This album saved me and helped me getting clean when I were a homeless addict 10 years ago. My family situation wasn't the best lots of yelling, beatings, fear. I got to know the wrong people and spend lots of time with them. One day I decided to pack up and leave. This was the beginning of the end for me. 2 years of the greatest joy imaginable and the worst pain ever until I looked into the mirror one day and couldn't recognize the skeleton staring at me, eyes dead. That's when I decided to go back home and try to get clean. 10 years clean today. Every day is a struggle but I'll keep going.
All this pain is an illusion. Spiral out embrace whatever may come.
I was 19 in 2003 when I bought this album, back when I didn't do any drugs and rarely drank. I loved the song, and knew that it was about people who feel pious and self-satisfied after getting clean, but I never really *got* it on anything deeper than a cursory level. Then I got addicted to heroin for five years, and finally, after two trips to rehab, got sober.
It means so much more to me now. The meaning is the same, but now it's personal. I ugly-cry every time I hear it. How does one repay someone when what one stole from them is intangible, a concept?
I have to stop writing. Please be kind to people you meet, y'all.
You can’t repay . You can never truly ‘pay back ‘ or ‘ make right’ .. ever .. it’s impossible. You can however change your mind ( and I say , therefore your heart) about whatever it was you did or done to someone. Do you know what the word “repent “ literally translates to ? To change one’s mind … that’s it . That’s what it actually means . You can never repay some debts , none of us … no , not one. That’s why humans need a cosmic redemption to take place before they can … move on , so to speak . Good , stay clean friend . My story is much like yours probably. How can I apologize to my father for stealing his morphine because I was (am) a junkie when he was dying from pancreatic cancer ? I can’t because he’s dead. I can see what I did , take full responsibility, and turn my back on the sin just like Lot was instructed to do . If I do that , It means my mind has changed ( and therefore my heart ) and all I can do now is raise his grandchildren to be the best people they can possibly be . From one junkie to another , my Gods light shine on you today . Shalom, brother
Most people in recovery especially twelve step don't leave anything like that book teaches outside atrocious..
I take it as it's also about the people around the addict. I was an addict to meth and opiates. The people around me all of them thought they were so god damn perfect. But I'm clean now and they all still act like they are so perfect. So I take it as yeah you might have been addict but yeah you got better and their halo is slipping down cause they never changed their fucked up behavior.v
It's not a full circle at all it's missed out can you explain maybe what the worm is?
Love this...
He made people understand the pain and suffering and the beautiful state of overcoming the rage of wanting out
🙏
Been a tool fan for over ten years. Never gave apc the chance it deserved till today. This song evokes some serious emotions for me. Absolutely brilliant.
To me they are almost one in the same. Epic trips down holes you didn't know existed.
Isn’t it so amazing finding something so amazing that you never knew existed I just discovered them🎉
Try the outsider.
Same situation with Puscifer. Been with Tool since the beginning. APC came and continued. Never listened to anything from Puscifer until this year (sad). Completely different sound space than Tool and APC, but its incredible.
i used to listen to this song walking to school. i still remember the feeling of the fresh snow beneath my feet, mouthing the words to this song. 10 yeas later I still listen to it. i still haven't cast my demons out
Yes. I love this song. Its been years. He is amazing. Lead singer of tool and perfect circle. He is amazing. This band is amazing. I believe only one band member is different between the two groups. I need to look that up
@@JessicaSmith-fe1vt I've always loved that idea of him being in multiple bands and being in that song with the Deftones passenger he has such a soothing voice but yet I still haven't cast my demons out
For some we keep deep for war
same here , just learned to live with it
You will, cast them out that is! Six years clean for me! I was moved by something far greater than myself to overcome mine!!!!
I don't know who will see this and at what time. but I see these 7 year old comments and stuff and to think that back then life was so simple. my dad introduced me to APC when I was at least 5 or 6. maybe a little younger. I'm turning 16 next October. and this song always reminded me of him. I never lost my dad but I rarely see him since he works night shifts and sleeps during the day. i thank him for introducing me to these songs. anyway, I'm writing this comment to tell whoever is reading this to enjoy your time with your parents even if you go through rough times with them. good things will come eventually. example being music.
That’s powerful stuff from a young man, thank you Krazee Jake
Beautiful! I feel ya buddy. I'm an adult. And my dad is one of my heros. Not a perfect man. But, a damn great father.
Forgot how good this band is. The vocals, the guitar riffs, the breakdown, the lyrics, it's all perfection. The symbolism of being an angel and harboring evil intentions and having their "halo slip down" and thus suffocating them, it's so magnetic and hypnotizing.
As a female traverses the planet manipulating their man to do her bidding, she wipes off the ends of her means that appear by the help of heaven or Evan man.
The singer is an outside force guilt tripping a manipulator. The manipulator has used another person for a duplicitous agenda but they died in the process.
How can they shake off their lies by justifying it with having their best intentions in mind, when the person they were manipulating actually died.
“And not to” we can hear the clever guilt trip
Think of someone who married a man to get back at her father but he took it seriously and she couldn’t stand being with him because she was nothing like her father. So, she forced him to leave her by taking actions that would logically cause him to leave. “But it was his decision she tells herself” “I couldn’t stand the drinking” she tells society.”
She moves on and many centuries later she has found peace and then her old husbands mother calls the manipulator to say “ your first husband has died please tell his son Evan that he died.”
So Evan asks “I’m glad you found peace now mom but how do you plan on making amends to the dead?”
Her entire ego and sense of self now has a schism. It will choke who she is now. A guilt trip on this level will cause an existential crisis at the bare minimum.
In this situation the singer has eviscerated someone’s ego.
Lyrics for y'all to sing along:
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heavens help you 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 planning to go about making 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 planning to go about making your amends
To the dead
To the dead
With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
but I'm more than just a little curious
(With your halo slipping down) how you're planning to go about making your
(With your halo slipping down) more than just a little curious
(With your halo slipping down) how you're planning to go about making your
(With your halo slipping down) more than just a little curious
Your halo slipping down
To choke you now
I absolutely love this fucking song! This is more than a song, it's a masterpiece. Everything about it is perfect; the rhythm, beat, the sound, the lyrics, it's just so beautiful. If you take the time to just let this song sink in and absorb it then you'll truly experience the fucking awesomeness of the beautiful song. This is real music, music that you can feel and literally get high off of. Definitely a song to listen to while smoking a bowl or two. ✌️
Qwenton Russell That's pretty fucking dope man!
+Aaron Lightle You know what's good with life. For that i smoke a bowl to you, sir.
+Conor Sutherland Thanks homie! ✌
I want Peace don't youth
Kelsey Foster you have no idea how doomed you are
Its taken me almost 20 years to realize this is probably my favorite album ever.
Me and my wife of 15 years' favorite song to jam and sing to. We just got back together after a 4 year separation and singing it together again right now on caronavirus quarantine 2020!
Sick man 🤙😎🤙
Sick
This song, for me is the pinnacle of the album. Message to the reformed addict. Such a powerful vocal performance. Haunting musicianship!
The song was about people who "find god" and use it as a crutch. It pushes back against the narrative of being saved undoes everything wrong you've ever done and forces the person to see the reality that just because you believe God forgave doesn't mean the rest of the world has.
@@ill4mz54Did you pen this song Maynard?
@@youngdylan5083 look up the premise of the song 🤡
This song, shit this whole album, is pure perfection. As someone who has been through the 12 steps, i spent the first few years thinking i was a saint after "making things right" and staying sober. It wasn't until after i got knocked off my pedestal that i realized i was human and this song made sense.
I used to listen to this album alot and thought it rocked but after quite a few years sober, i saw what Maynard meant in the lyrics in these songs. Since then, it means so much more to me and reminds me of my humanity. Be careful what you believe people.
+Doc Williams I couldn't have said it better myself
+Doc Williams Yeah. That's how it is. We all discover that we are human.
If we don't, we die.
+photondance I think we die anyways. I haven't done it yet, though, so I'm not 100% on that.
Joking aside. I like what you're saying.
+photondance
Agreed. Sitting here on a balcony of a hospital while my dad is in the ICU recovering from his stroke 6 days ago. And he is fighting cancer at the same time!! Life is crazy and all this has taught me to appreciate it even more and live it to its fullest! We only live once!
+Jay Day No joke. Sitting in my car at the hospital doing the same. Mom's second stroke...hope your dad is doing well.
One of my favorites it helps me when I'm feeling suicidal
hang in there Gabriel, please
@@mq9893 I am I'm a tad bitch skitzophernic comes and goes
Feeling that way myself... Please stay with us
@@sarahpalacios1920 Yes & we need you ok, as well...ok 😀
we all have our demons to fight. But it is a fight we can win. Keep on going buddy. I promise it gets better.
This album is significant to everyone, for completely different reasons. I can’t think of anyone who’s been so accessible to a mass audience than Keenan.
These songs legit want to make me cry. Many of my friends died since I've found this album. Now I'm listening literally by myself and I miss them dearly. I wish no one had to go through this.
This in my opinion is their best song in general. I could listen to it over and over and do.
It is definitely one of their best tunes. My personal preference for one of their best songs is Orestes off of Mer de Noms. The emotion that is felt with that song is beyond words.
I agree this is my favorite apc song or any song for that matter. I drive ppl crazy cuz I play this song all the time
Chris Davis"give me one more medicated peaceful moment" man I love that
Never fails in making me tear up, that song.
This Judith and Imagine are the top 3 no doubt.
2021, still listening and happy to have seen them before COVID. How many still love these guys in 2021? Let's dedicate a moment to all who are lost from COVID. Love to all who have lost people. Let's get out out of the noose and make amends to the dead!!!!! Rock on!!!!
😥
✊
The Light is shinning!
I saw em pre covid front row seats beast shit
I had barely been introduced to Tool. Started figuring what I liked. Figured out I enjoyed Maynard as a vocalist. Long story short, got a call at 2-3 in the morning when my granny was sick. Answered the phone knowing she was dead. Drove 1.5 hours from San Diego to Orange County playing this song on repeat till I got there. When I got there my grandpa kept saying “touch her, touch her, she’s dead” I did touch her and it was the first dead body I touched. I stayed with him for a couple weeks cause he didn’t even know how to use the toaster. People today won’t know what that love was in relationship to their partner. They were blessed and we are blessed in a new way. Enjoy your partner but prepare for your lonesome solo journey. It’s coming whether it’s good or bad but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. The more vulnerable you are, the harder you will love.
Best APC song and album.
This song. Will always be my absolute favorite song of all time. I fucking love you apc. and I fucking love YOU reader for loving this song.
Thanks for this. Had a family member take his own life and this was one of his favorite songs. Can't hear it without thinking of him. And now you
I was 22 or 23 when this album came out. One of the best and worst times of my life. Thank you Maynard!
Lol, my life bad too. Thanks
This and Orestes are my go to songs when I'm feeling down, definitely gotten me through some tough times. Stay strong 🤘✌🤙
;
this song just hit hard.. I used this album as a stepping stone to my sobriety and after 15 months of clean time I hit a moment of weakness and relapsed, overdosed in a parking lot and my wife had to bring me back to life again with narcan. I was later that day arrested and put in jail for possession and just got out today. listening to this really made me think about what ive put myself and others through especially my wife and kids. thank you maynard for setting me straight
Virginia Gollaway glad you came to realization
sounds like ur wife and and the cops set u straight
Stay strong 💪
Stay strong through he urge to back
People have someone. Family. Your not alone. I hope your fight is stronger. I hope all becomes better, or will be just. Thanks for sharing
I'm almost 21 and I honestly just heard A Perfect Circle for the first time last May. I'm addicted to their music.
where the hell have you been??
21 years old and listening to A Perfect Circle... good choice!
faith in humanity restored!
At least you have good taste in music but I'm about to be 18 and I've been listening to Tool and A Perfect Circle for the last few years. I wish more people would stop and listen to this music and find real meaning in it instead of listening to Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus.
alexis mcgregor it's not like katy perry and tool/apc are mutually exclusive - i can fit both of them on my phone!!!
“Many of the songs are sung from the perspectives of recovery…”
Keenan: I don’t think the album is specifically for people who are going through recovery, although that metaphor is absolutely present. Many of the songs are sung from the perspectives of recovery: from the perspective of a person who is in denial about a loved one, and from the drug perspective itself - the perspective of a person who is starting to realize that there is an issue, and of a person who is ready to deal with it.
This was a very difficult task for me, because I don’t know what [drug addiction] is like. I drew on the experiences of friends who have gone through recovery, and friends who will never go through recovery. Layne Staley, for example, who was an old friend.
...This is from a interview with Maynard, talking about this album/what it means, and layne staley.
RIP Layne Staley. Such a big loss 🙏🏼
Addiction doesn't necessarily have anything to do with this awesome tune .....I would say that .....people that feel there on a different LEVEL than others ....
People say they don’t know what addiction is like, but this is a completely addicted to pleasure culture.
I like the fact that after all these years this song is still as amazing as it has always been to my ears.
Good for self reflection. Unlike a genre you dance or can even want to mosh to, this empowers a darker emotional side in an uplifting way for me. To feel a sense of strength behind a feeling of sadness for me creates a different perspective. One which makes me understand things better. this song and the song “Blue” are nothing short of excellence and beauty.
why can't beautiful amazing music like this exist nowadays
Well....... this... exists.... today.... ?
+Infyra that's not what i meant i meant why can't music like this be created nowadays
Maybe you are just not looking in the right places? Radiohead just released a new album and it is also sublime.
+Infyra thnx will check it out
+Infyra As did Tool. There's some great underground band's as well.
But we'll always have these masterpieces from the past..
This needed an even newer comment so here it is this song still stands strong in younger communities like me as a teen 🥰
Ok. Here's a newer comment
@@ayadiwata beat you bro im fresher
This song got released the same year I almost died from a sickness, then I still got excruciating pains so I got addicted to ocycotin and morphin and I almost died again a few times from OD… but it’s been 20 years I always listen to this song during the darkest time of my life and Im pretty sure without this song I would be dead… APC saved my life, now Im still depressed but sober and not too sick and not too in pain, im done being choked by my halo.
Some of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard.
The offbeat harmony is like an addict's struggle to stay sober amidst the triggered irrational thoughts of destruction and the pause in the first bridge was like them contemplating relapse. The crescendo in the electric guitars in the last chorus is like them doing it and the slow quiet and calm ending was like their body laying in the aftermath..
This song is cathartic for me to listen to as an addict and person with depression because I feel that if anyone who doesn't have those illnesses listens to this, it would let them experience the pain and sense of inescapability behind the lyrics- behind the life, and that is what makes this song beautiful. Because of how it holds the power to affect people.
+Avoraskela that slow quiet is BLISS. I LOVE it I'm gone!
+Avoraskela (on my husbands' link. my name is Sadie) you described this song so beautifully, I wanted to let you know.
its about a born again christain like murderer or something
beautiful
wow... your description of the song is as beautiful as the song itself.
What A Perfect song. The lyrics, the arrangement, the emotion....
The version of this live at Red Rocks is just phenomenal!
I was there
@@Raybowman6923same! Epic night
The warm gentle 🌧️ as the show started set the mood for the evening it was perfect of course
Happy 420 to everybody else who’s listening to A perfect circle while they sesh 😘💚
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
this song and blue are some of the raw beautiful songs after my dad passed (we were best friends never been so close too) all i did for months listen to this album over and over well and 10000 days from tool, because he know how i felt because of his own lost with is mom no one understood but to me it made more than since
I listened to those two albums as well when I got divorced because I couldn't figure out why the things were happening to me at such a fast pitch and those two albums truly got by, and I'm glad they helped you as well
***** I love how you worded that.
Namaste ~ from Florida
Never fails to give me chills and never ceases to leave me wanting to listen to more APC afterward, impressively well mixed and well written song.
Agree 100%. This song is magic.
I concur. Friday night I drove to visit a friend. I had this CD; yes, I said
CD ;-) playing in my Honda. I listened to this song over and over.
It's a beautifully produced tune. And the mix from 3:04-3:34 is
fantastic.
If you keep coming back to the same song to listen for over 15 years or more, then you know that's the song in your heart...this is one of those for me!!
I've never touched drugs in my life and this song still hits me hard in the soul every time I listen to it.
I have some sort of a spiritual bond with this song, Maynard's lyrics have helped me through the hardest times of my life.
as do I
Help me through some dark times. Helped me see things clearer
Dude, tool and APC… I have spiritual connections with those two… if there was a band for me to relate to their songs any more than APC and tool, it must have been made from another generation in a distant galaxy… *jokingly plays star wars music*
Yes reaper we do
Touches me emotionally. The sign of great art.
While i'm listening to this i'm hearing thunders outside ...this song is divine!
I think that's just bad quality of the sound. Way to ruin such a perfect song.
Pavel Drozdov well it was a very spiritual moment and the weather made it unique to, like it was only for me and no one else.
broghywert
it was a joke the 240p quality makes the bass sound like some sort of thunder. Not a good sound for bass.
Yo
Lol that's literally happening right now.
This needed a newer comment, so here it is.
Thank you
Hi
Russianm0fia hello
This comment is three months old. NOW what?
4-20-20 still and always will bang this daily
One of the greatest underappreciated albums of all time.
Love Maynard, love this album, god where did all the time go...
We all make mistakes. That's understandable.
But don't ever develop the arrogance that your mistakes are not your responsibility. Nobody's life is a one-man show. Every action you make, every thing you say and do, it affects everyone around you even if you don't notice it.
Damn right
Maynard's pure genius in it's own right
So much of this
MichaelCS 🙏 ThanQ Sir.
Kinetic energy
That first verse gives me chills. I’m a music nerd, an audiophile you name it, but so far I have NEVER come across a track to send shivers down my back.
This album helps me get through all of my darkest days
this song makes me tear up every time I here it. I was in a correctional facility from which my grandmother bailed me out of. A few weeks after living with her I stole from her to support my drug addiction and ended up back in jail. A few months after she passed away. I can never forgive myself
She would forgive you. She loved you enough to bail you out even though you were in the position you were in. If she cared that deeply for her grandchild then she would forgive all your transgressions. Don't sell yourself short a lesson was taught and it seems you've learned. Accept what has happened and better yourself. That's the best way to repay her. Live a good life and tell her all the stories that have made that life wonderful both the good and bad. She'll be waiting to hear them.
Dios te bendiga
Don't worry, man! she is sleeping! She knows she loves you until death and beyond! she knows you couldn't fight, but that's okay! Even if it was her who sent you to jail, just know she did it only to protect you from self destruction! she would give her life for your safety and comfort!
Brian Choate Never to late to right yourself
Brian Choate How are you now, are you sober?
No song i've ever listened to evokes more emotion for me. always makes me think of someone, shits real art.
you say it !!!!!!!
Spoken like an intellectual masochist. Well done.
This song is so powerful and beautiful and incredibly written all these years later, it brings me back to being young and addicted to drugs. I've lived in a whole life like that and now it's 41. I'm sober and I can listen to this song and remember how it powerful it is
"But im more than just a little curious, how youre planning to go about making your amends? To the dead." Such a powerful statement. It speaks about regret, and not spending more time with the ones you love. One day they will be gone, and your apologies for being absent will fall on deaf ears. When that day comes, your self anointed higher priorities will strangle you. So make things right now, before its too late.
I've tried to get over not being there for my parents on their last moments, don't know how can I forgive myself, can't stand this pain anymore I don't know If I will make it any longer.
One of the most beautiful, relaxing, songs. Ever.
💯 Agreed❤
They know true pain ,and Maynard also knows how vital and important that pain is for the mathematics of the twelve steps to unfold in all areas of your life. Never forget that last run, carry that pain with you at all times. The pain is the necessary spark of remembering that the mind must have, in order to overcome whatever is plaguing you. Oh what misery and loss chemicals took from me. My tragedy and yours can turn to triumph. Just never forget, pain is a blessing and gear teacher.
Love it i can relate n agree
I love this song even through its painful to hear now... heartbreak makes everything change in a person
I named my cat Maynard james keenan...he never responds when i call him.....
This song is the definition of beauty. Fuck I love this band. It will never die. This is legendary hall of fame shit. The way he can capture the very raw pain of addiction and everything that comes with it and put it into words as beautiful as he does is just unbelievable. Thank god for this sound.
maynard is awesome
Maynard is amazing.
Maynard is a God
Rebirthed christ
Arguably the best frontman and song writer in rock music history.
No way. He is the second. First is Mike Patton
I love this song. I have made friends with my demons. I remember walking from school listening to this song. I did not have a perfect childhood and always did what I needed to so that I could survive. This song was always my comfort and go to. It still humbles and calms me. ❤️
I'm a newbie as of 6yrs ago but got every album perfect circle TOOL wise...bout time I came across a very very good band who put thought and effort into musical composition and lyrics instead of a catchy beat ... fantastic song...this has been an earwig this week for myself 😂
"The Noose"
So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
You 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 planning to go about
Making 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 planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead
With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down [repeated]
Your halo slipping down to choke you now
The moose
+Techn9cian123 lmao idk why i laughed so hard.
Techn9cian123 OMFG I won't ever be able to get that outta my head now!!!😂😂😂
Techn9cian123 I am fucking dying and want to here a remake called the moose now
Miley Cyrus is better
12 years later, we're still here!
This song and passive have got to be two of the best songs ever to be writen!!! I could listen to them over and over and they never get old or worn out.. they definitely will be forever on my Playlist and I'll listen to them until I'm 102. Years old without a doubt 😊
This song is filled with so much emotion that you can easily feel it...😔
Man, my dad used to play a lot of A Perfect Circle's songs before he and my mom got divorced. I never knew the lyrics but I felt content listening to just the flow of the tunes with the music and stuff, how one point it sounds happy and another it drops into what feels like a deep and thoughtful and maybe regretful point in the song.. My mom turned out to be a drug addict and I found this band (and Tool of course) soothing because I feel it relates back to her problems and how I felt about it. I used to think that the drugs she took were able to be just thrown out, but they were chosen over me, so I think I can see how someone could be taken over by the addictions out there. Calming song.
Sorry to read this Claudia. Crazy how a song can bring you back. The good and the bad times.
Thank you. I was running through my dad's random CD's and found this suddenly start up and I felt like I was just hit with a wall of emotions; felt like it just poured everything out!
The last line is my favorite part:
Your halo slipping down to choke you now
And with Maynard's voice... Ugh, so amazing. So excited for the new Tool album, too. If they ever release it.
Lol, that was 4 years ago
whenever I go through bouts of severe depression (more frequently than I’d like to admit) this band is the one I immediately go to. APC’s music has saved me from a lot of very bad nights and kept me from some very bad decisions. Couldn’t be more thankful for this band.
;
2 perspectives: 1 - "Your Halo" is how high and righteous you are and by it slipping down, it's actually your façade being revealed. 2 - "Your Halo" is your purity and by it slipping down, it's actually you reverting back to the addiction (Drugs or anything that binds you).
This album got me through a tough point in my life.
Many albums did this for me over the years including Tool Lateralis, QOTSA Lullaby’s To Paralyze and Bush Golden State these where albums which I’d listen to everyday and it spoke some sort of comprehension to my world in which I was lost.
A Perfect Circle has not just been music for me but a roadmap through a part of my life which seemed to be unending pain.
Love this album so much!!
You can almost feel the heavenly music go through you, almost consuming my sorrow.
My baby would fall asleep to this when she was poorly with colic, 3 yrs down the line as she's still obsessed with this song 😍😍
i grew up listening to this song... Here i am so many years later.
And not to pull your halo down around your neck and tug you off your cloud awesome lyric
The moose
Man when I first heard this song, must have had it on replay for weeks. Think it's seriously underrated song by perfect circle.
For me is thé best song
Those last four words, pronounced so crystal clear, with all that sweetness, thin and sharp like a cold winter breeze, with drops of melting snow all around...... goosebumps every single time I listen to this, every single time in these 20 years
If you only knew how much this song means to me. Thank you. Much respect.♥️

Last comment 4 years ago. I don't know about the rest of you but I've still been listening cos the thirteenth step is one of the greatest albums ever created.
First stumbled on this 11 years ago and still today it’s my favourite song ever, had the opportunity to see them live which was incredible.
One of the best songs that this band has made.
Absolute stunning piece of music!
This is a wonderful masterpiece. I just love everything about it the beat, rhythm, and the sound.
After so many years still amazing and gives me chills!!!!!
this song is powerfull, Great piece of art.
I love a perfect circle! I swear my mind is transported in to the various dimensions of space and time when I listen to their music.Very entrancing in a way that most music will ever be. Surreal is the only word I can use to describe the way their music makes me feel.
The most beautiful song, reminds me of my teenage years ❤
These guys are amazing live. Brings back the high school days every time I listen to them. Love it
2019 and still here loving it! ♥
This whole CD is amazing. It's honestly getting me through some serious withdrawals and dark times. Every time I feel a moment of weakness I throw on the headphones and draw inspiration from a place I never thought possible. This CD is saving my life.
My absolute favorite song. I will never stop loving it. My 85 year old grandfather loved listening to this too! Such beautiful art.
This album, and especially this song, hold a very special place in my heart.
This song makes my heart ache every time I listen to it.
ethereal: extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.
This song still gets me through tuff times thank you MJK
Just been feeling a perfect circle a lot again lately since a few months back.
Thankful for this music.
