An American Indian legend says: “When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into Heaven. At the head of the bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away.
That's why you must be nice to all living things on Earth man, woman, child, animals. Humanity must help all no matter what if ur gonna kill it do or say a prayer for it.
To me this song is talking about our journey through life towards our goals or just about capturing happiness in general. No matter how many hardships we've overcome we never seem to be able to attain it. The river is the barrier that keeps us from what we want. Maybe it's real, maybe it isn't. Could just be a grass is greener sort of thing. The beauty about tool/APC/puscifer is that everyone can have their own meaning to songs and that's how I think they are supposed to be. What's the point of an artist explaining a song when they can instead let their listeners give their own meaning to it, sort of personalized in a way.
excellent song that denotes maynard's knowledge and spirituality. talks about how we are incarnating over and over again, achieving "material achievements", when really none of that matters, because that will never lead us to true progress, which will allow us to reach higher spheres of consciousness and transcend this reality ... and that is one of the great traps of this system in which we live... true progress begins when we begin to follow a spiritual path, rediscovering and accepting what we really are, and that as a collective consciousness that we are each individual progress that we make will bring humanity closer to transcending this reality, because in the end we will all cross that threshold, from the lowest to the highest consciousness, because we are all one.
This song is about Cooperation, understanding and community. The river is ultimate barrier of people, nationalities and countries/ nations. We will never achieve peace, success or ultimate happiness with " the hands of many must join as one"
My takeaway from this piece is 'stay vigilant'; always look, always listen, but most importantly always _think._ Life is unpredictable, even a supposedly simple thing could be quite difficult, because we can't see all ends. Don't rest on your laurels; re-arm yourself and develop new strategies after each battle, the lessons you learned _will_ be invalid before the next one begins and it might take more than money, bullets, bombs or a bunch of political talk to win it.
"Don't rest on your laurels" is a phrase, a thought, and a motivational war-cry that is becoming my mantra. THIS is what I would go back and tell my younger self. In my 40s and this is now a foundation I am working off of and wish I had learned this earlier.
One does not simply learn chaos. It must be eaten and devoured, felt and experienced. Consumed daily. Until it becomes an extension of self. Imagine, running in circles just to come to realize u end up right back where u started. 🙏🏻 Welcome to the party.
The World will turn until the Universe decides it won't. It's seen worse things then anything us intelligent yet arrogant apes can bring upon it. We'd destroy ourselves before the Universe even had a say.
I'm probably wrong but I don't think it's as literal as sone are saying I think it's about either defeating something within oneself and how society needs to do it individually collectively to be a better place. Or something like that
A frog sits by the river and a scorpion approaches. The scorpion asks, “Would you take me across this river?” The frog responds, “Of course! Climb on my back and I will take you to the other side.” Half way across the river the scorpion stings the frog. The frog then asks, “Why have you done this?” To which the scorpion responds, “It is in my nature, I could not help it.” The frog then says, “But now we will both die.” The strong crush the weak... The rich steal from the poor... The educated few against the uneducated masses... The believer vs the unbeliever... Those with power that rule those without it... We are at war with each other, it is in our nature. We would rather end our species before we ever join hands to conquer any obstacle together.
Mr. Cain even if the frog and scorpion we're the only ones left of their species, that's one stupid frog nonetheless. Reminds of Natural Born Killers. Bitch you knew I was a snake! Quote.
This song..is about HUMANITY.. HOW IT WILL TAKE LOVE..AND COMING TOGETHER THROUGH KINDNESS TO MAKE IT TO "HEAVEN"... FORGIVENESS IS NEEDED..EVEN FIRGIVING THOSE WHOM YOU CANT FORGIVE..IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT. THE ONLY WAY TO BATTLE EVIL..IS TO NOT ALLOW IT. BECAUSE AS THE "YING YANG"..WE **ALL** HAVE IT IN US. EVIL AND LOVE. THE BALANCE NEEDS TO GO UNBALANCED IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENCE. IF IT GOES TO THE LOVE..LOVE WINS. IF WE ALL HATE..EVIL WILL WIN. CANT YOU SEE THAT IN THIS LIFE THAT WE HAVE? WHY...DO YOU THINK THE ONES IN THE BIBLE LIVED FOR SO MANY YEARS? EVEN CANCER WAS MAN MADE.. ALL EVIL WAS MAN MADE. AND SO IS LOVE. LIFE..IS THE ONLY THING..THAT WAS NOT. HEAVEN ISNT IN THE SKYS.. AND HEAVEN CAN BE FOUND ON EARTH! IF YOU MAKE IT BE.
I like reading all of your interpretations. Maybe it's because of my current situation, but "the river" is death, finality, closure, peace. Perhaps crossing the river means spreading death, becoming finality. How do we justify it? Together we'll cross the river.
I think mankind is the singer, war is the river he can't get past. We've come so far, leaps and bounds in the last century, but we still have war(s). We still haven't learned when enough is enough. Everyone wants what the other guy has, and no one appreciates what they DO have. So even that gets squandered and wasted away. And the world has the audacity to blame God?!!! You made the choices you've made. You did the things you've done. You now must deal with the consequences of those things. That's not God's fault. It's your own. All you have to do is actually believe in Jesus and live like it.

no touching memories of dead love ones here. i just think of Mcgregor's trash talk to Nate Diaz about the gazelle and the river when i listen to this song.
Nature, nurture heaven and home Sum of all, and by them, driven To conquer every mountain shown But I've never crossed the river Braved the forests, braved the stone Braved the icy winds and fire Braved and beat them on my own Yet I'm helpless by the river Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river?

Good Reply
It’s about Unity. Nothing at all can be done alone.
Goddamn man uve had a beautiful journey i just wonder how my own has met w u
The endless river of deceit
I’ve crossed many a rivers in my life. This song saved me🙏🏿
Sounds like he's talking about facing his own demons and how people avoid it while trying to conquer everybody else's problems
One of those songs that just defy description. My compliments to whomever did the visual art as well.
Wish I had my old stereo system to play this on: that thud is *so* heavy!
Ikr I did that when I heard this song 🎵

The humbling River
The one boundary that cannot be crossed by the individual

Unless we " join hands, as ONE". ONE to me is ONE RACE, ALL HUMAN BEINGS
This song gives me the chills ✨💙✨
As it should.
January 2022’ Listening Again, Again, Again, & Again
I am listening to this while studying the book “For The Common Defense” in the section of World War II for my Military Class… wow.
Ive just watched Yellowstone and heard both a Perfect Circle and Puscifer tracks in it,you cant mistake our mans voice,can you?
A leaders bravery and weakness engaged in a battle to stand and fought together for a remarkable victory.
Top song. I just love Maynard's voice and versatility.
First time hearing this. ❤️ Much love for Maynard !
I love you too Maynard James Keenan!
Just another great song !
This song is about an old tale of a king that started out good but let the power go to his head. He wound up losing his sons and himself in the river.
There's a handful of songs I'd use for movies and this one could be in a bunch. Vikings, The Peaky Blinders, The Revenant just a couple I'd choose.
This song is perfect on the show Yellowstone. And I agree, it would work for other movies/shows.
Almost could be in Marco Polo too.
Well, it's more for a film in the first place that this song should be used
Transformers
Epic song & great photomontage!
Why the fuck does this song make me cry?
+hinowisaybye it gives me many emotions all at once lol. don't feel alone
Probably because you where high... It happens

Beautiful song
Maynard 😘 I have been loving you for 22 years. Your voice ... music. I was at aconcert in Krakow. It was mystica🤘🤘
To me this song was about a lot of people who didnt know how to cross the river. They decided to take a chance and cross it together.
to me its as simple as inspiring teamwork.... no man is an island no matter how much of a badass you think you are and may be. Love it!
We shall indeed🐉
Think of this but a country tone and instruments. Love it felt harmony
Nature nuture heaven and home! Love that.
super luv ds song💝

It's the theme tune to the ever stirring revolution 💜
Shawn and I crossed that river many times
Good ol Shawn.
I wonder if this is how the chicken felt as he gazed across to the other side of the road?
haha
how did the hungry human feel as he saw the chicken as a meal?

This song tells us what we must do!!

For real? Damn I thought it was about a community needing to cross a river and realizing they needed to come together to do it.
I feel the sound
Damn good song
Two ✌🏼 chords and the truth. Amazing creativity.
po amo essa musica.ela no traer de transformers tmb ficou foda.
This track is baddass
Messege we all must get !!
why does this make me think of an army marching by thousands strong across the lands to conquer kingdoms and pillage the land
You misconcepted the whole song ;P, it's against that.
Every one's certainty is another's misconception.
@@kumquat2728 It sounds nothing like a military rhythm.
Because that's what its about. But the king couldn't conquer the other side of the river. He lost both sons and himself in the river.

With it being Puscifer, yeah. She sings along with him or does her own lines.
Nature, nurture heaven and home
Sum of all, and by them, driven
To conquer every mountain shown
But I've never crossed the river
Braved the forests, braved the stone
Braved the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river
Angel, angel, what have I done?
I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river?

It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of the many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river
