My name is Lauren Linton, I was cast in this video when I was 12 years old! I'm the little girl that takes the sailboat from the boy!
Oh wow. How was it working with them and all? How'd you get cast btw?
Connor Schrauben don’t tell me you thought your going to get a fucking response bro
Very cool
Me too. I was the sexy asian in her underwear.
Lauren Linton no one cares
This song kept me from killing myself. 2001. I was in the Navy. Lost my mom the year before. My wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she was my only rock. And I was losing her too. Slowly before my eyes. This song this whole album was so beautiful and heartbreakingly sad. It made me realize I wasn't alone.
Antonio, wow, thank you for sharing your story. Amazing how music can be so powerful and life changing, isn't it. I am so glad you are still here. You are certainly not alone. I hope life has been kinder to you since that period of time and I wish you well.
This is an incredible story. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are thriving today!
💜
The lyrics hit that strong ❤️, keeping moving forward bud❤️👍
Omg ❤❤ bless your heart man! Love ya man!!
This was my Fiancés favorite song. She passed away Friday. I miss her more than life.
Your fiancé had really good music taste, im sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing better.
I'm so sorry.
I am so sorry 😞.
Im sincerely sorry ❤ sending you all the warmth and strength, may you get rest and sanity as soon as possible
Omfg I'm so sorry. I know you do. My God, I'm sorry. No words will heal you. Just know people's hearts break for you. I'm thinking about you, know that. Hugs dude, big fucking Hugs.
Whole album was straight fire
man i see you commenting in a ton of vids i watch; totally agree damn there was some good music in the early 00s if you were looking in the right places...next thing i know youll be commenting on an allmightyloli berserk vid (which i just came from cause it made me think of this song for some reason after listening to some mastodon in it; how their related i dont know)
You rock man! Love your vids
dude this isnt fire, it's something more then that. this song is a masterpiece. it's straight emotion.
In my top 5 albums for sure.
Ok Hightower is now officially the coolest. Deftones fan, too????
Never had a song break my heart and liberate me at the same time. Leave it to Maynard.
❤️
Listen to Nine Inch Nails Hurt
Yeah it does that to people....don't stay there unless you're super talented and rich and connected like dude obviously is...but cool...he is good 👍
Unreal ⭕️
@@katy4714 Hurt was more primal in some aspects, but musically not as impressive.
I'm telling you when you get older these songs aren't just "fun" to listen to anymore.
They will creep up and hit right in the heart.
I was 15 years old and this killed me then and kills me now at 25.
This album came out when I was 20. Still guts me to the core. It is perfection from start to finish.
Very true. So many songs I grew up listening to as a child. Now as a adult it hits me like a two ton hammer
Yup.
So many layers - unravelling suppressed memories and helping to bring meaning to them.
22 years later and here we are. This whole album is timeless
I was in the 7th grade when this album came out and I still love it.
22yrs😲🥴. GTFO!!! I got it right when it came out. Good LORD time flies. Approaching classic ✨️ status.
God can we all go back?
💯
A song about not being able to be seen by the eyes of your loved one no matter how much you threw the obvious. A masterpiece indeed.
Never completely understood my emotional connection to this song until seeing your comment. Crazy how music’s connection can be deeper than an intellectual understanding.
@@adamwroczynski3972 I came to say the same. I've listened to this song dozens of times but when I saw the comment pointing that out it smacked me in the face hard. Honestly it made me cry and vow to try and never ignore my children no matter how insignificant the thing they want to show me is.
A love interest that only gave me time but for a minute brought me here after them telling me of their fascination with maynard James keenan and his 3 bands "puscifier","a perfect circle",& "tool" and it makes me sad and miss the short lived connection with that beautiful human being everytime i hear this 💔
It's a song about wanting to love someone who's been hurt bad, but never being able to meet and talk to the real them inside. You try to relate to them but all you find is the wall they've put up to protect themselves and the broken, barely-functioning person behind it.
The sadness in knowing that there's a good person in there who could be a good friend or a lover, but that you won't be able to break them out of that prison on your own without their trust and their own effort.
"3 libras" could be a poetic way of saying "3 pounds" -- the approximate weight of an adult human brain.
Dude, that's exactly what I think... its a bit obvious. But, I have dedicated to those who cannot see me...
I sob my guts out everytime he sings "you don't you don't you don't see me". It hurts so damn much. 😭
Its okay . I am here to tell you..... life can be excruciatingly painful,,, it seems pointless, no-one knows or cares what we are going through ,, after mum died - and my best mate, then lost all our land in a flood... trust me,,,, i can't even respect my own life ,,, let alone this so called God
@nicky9589 Yeah, for me, it hits because all I've ever wanted was for anyone to see me & love me. I grew up with lots of childhood trauma, went through fostercare, and straight into an abusive marriage where I've been trapped for over 15 years. My life has been hell, I have no support system and I'm just wondering if it will ever get better or if this is just how life is. 😭
Hi Lauren, only 7 years later. Wishing you the very best. My son Tyler was the boy you took the sailboat from. He loved every minute being on set and stated it was awesome meeting Maynard and his team. 👍
That is so cool! I’m interested in what happens to him in the music video? I can’t figure it out
Does Tyler listen to APC or Tool or puscifer ?!?!
he has amazing eyes
I think you meant to place this as reply to the top comment 🤷🏾♂️
I'm 44 , I've always loved perfect circle/tool. I'm about 10 days clean off of Fentanyl. This is probably like # 10 times getting clean off of fucking pills. Gone long periods of staying clean and I'm determined to make this one stick. I got to. I've almost lost 2 people oding in front of me that I super care about. I don't know how I would continue living if they had died on me. Really struggling to find anything to be happy about. Reading these comments and really understanding what this song is about made me cry like a baby!!! I understand and know depression and addiction. This song resonates so perfect circle with me. That you all for making me feel all the feels. I can't wait until my body will produce dopamine again until then I cry for everyone who's loved and wasn't seen or appreciated or lost a love one to addiction or depression. Hang in there will get through this together and happier days are ahead. If you struggle with drugs please do you and everyone a favor please stop I love you.
Hope it’s going well for you.
You can do it don't give up
You got this! One day at a time! I'm sober too and huge tool and apc fan
and how is it going
I would Love to know you my friend, please lets talk about it. We have a full life to share and I really apreciated this unique moment of truth confindence
I'm a black guy from Palo Alto CA. I've always listened to Rock.
This album is 20 years old today. Released May 23, 2000.
It is now officially RETRO
Wow thats crazy!
Kudos my friend
i'm old, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Still better than ever
I have never wished a song was longer in all my life. No matter what or where I must listen to this on repeat and I tear up. Maynard breaks my heart like no one else
OMGOSH, Thalia, I wish the exact same thing. So glad you posted this. I wish it had at least another 8 minutes or so........I too, do repeat it, and then again, and again, and then again.........
Thalia DaCosta
Well said
Thalia DaCosta its s great composed piece of art
Thalia DaCosta I agree, this needs to be a longer song. I repeat it alot

Maynard had no reason to look this good. But he did that. He did that for all of us.
The first time I heard this song was right after I didn't tell someone how i felt about them.. I was so obvious.. but i thought she either didn't notice.. or wasn't interested. I wanted to tell her how i felt.. but i didn't.. then she was gone.. lost my chance.. she moved away.. then i heard this song.. and felt like my soul died.. so she ended up getting married.. and i wished so bad that was me.. we still talked online.. and i kept that part of me.. that secret to myself.. it ate at me.. i hated myself for years... the years passed 13 years to be exact.. then one day.. had the urge to stop what i was doing.. got on fb refreshed... there she was.. and back in the area too.. i added her right away.. she added me .. we talked.. she was excited to hear from me.. we talked for a while.. all these feelings came rushing back to me.. i found the courage and told her how i felt.. how i still feel.. she told me she felt the same.. and now here we are.. madly in love.. soulmate/twin flame level love.. I just wanted to share that.. take a chance.. don't live a life of regret..
🔥 ♾️ 🔥 Flames like us can’t ever be fully stomped out , they are just a nice , slow burn! 🙌🏻
Congratulations! What is for you, is for you...
Hearing your story gave me immense joy. Similar situation happened to me. We been married for 30 yrs this year. ❤
One of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion
My opinion as well
+Johnny Bravo no lol
Hell yes. The sad thing is that I didn't like this song at all when I first heard it and it wasn't until years later that it grew to become one of my all time favorites. I was in a die hard metal head and a huge Tool fan when this came out as so this sound definitely wasn't on my radar. Now, I can't go a week without hearing it.
Anything Maynard touches is the best of all time. The guy is brilliant
Johnny Bravo
also (By and down) is my appennion the best Manard has ever produced. Its hard to judge because every song with Tool Puscafire, or A perfect circle, And Deathtones so perfectly put together. Its like judging oral sex after 6 month each girl to judge because it had been so long they all are thd best. lol
"If this Song sounds Bitter, it's because it is... and i am" - MJK
one of my favorite albums
haha love Radiohead, i've bought A Moon Shaped Pool today :)
Sober
mjk uh.. dude i love tool Nd a perfect circle can you tell me am i going to be the classic and modern day grey alien and am i just being told this bc im on doctor phil
also mjk r u jewish and if you are, do you know anything about grey aliens from the jewish bible? are those things true.. please tell me the truth... i hate all these lies bc of a microchip and speakers hid. im not milking it i hate this fucking bullshit i hate my life but i have been predicting my future sooooo..... uh but also its been some kinda code i have been doing it 4 awhile their... forget what though. i will take polygraph tests for you to trust me though and wtf is a miracle besides opiate or rotting christ.. not sure what rotting christ is saying but im sure it was a cleansing of this universe and stuff people have seemed to get possessed... but ya know we are all spiritual beings of a almighty god with souls... anyways i love you and if im the antichrist of hope we can invent drugs that dont cause addiction but pleasent awesome withdrawls peace and love 4 u.. from as you might call me.. hunter wish i could get backstage to one of your concerts dont know with who................. id hope kassie henceley
Just Maynard, massaging my third eye to tears.
Accurate
Moral of the story: you can't expect a person who is also broken,to help fix you...they won't see you at all.
Wow, bluntly facts. I’m a Libra and my 30+yr and my Scorp best fwb committed suicide. This song was always a reminder of us
And in truth, most people have baggage. You’re the only person that can help yourself, but only if you try. Which I don’t because I’m a little bitch, and I keep looking for that someone that will help me even though no one will.
Well said
This song has nothing to do with fixing someone
As always everything is always wide open to individual interpretation through our own eyes
I have a mother with a severe drinking problem and mental illness. She was incredibly abusive. And as a kid, I wasn't mad, I just felt bad for her. This song always reminds me of my mom. "Perhaps I am expecting a little too much from the wounded." "Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed, and passed over." "You don't, you don't, you don't see me." "Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragety."
I feel ur pain. I'm also an alcoholic & my father was. Reach out @kellywrede@gmail.com
I can relate to that, my mom is a mental patient who used to be an alcoholic and an abusive mother when I was a kid. She ruined my childhood but I don't think she actually meant to do it. I feel like she wanted my best but she was not on her right mind. No matter how much I want to hate her I can't, I just feel bad for her.
@@yasin-hf5kf did she ever make it out? find a good life again?
Steamwinged, too; did she ever make it out of the darkness and find a good life again?
That's the one
We expect others to see the world as we do.. we see something SO EASY but.. everyone is doing the best they can with THEIR SUBJECTIVE REALITY
We cannot see their circumstances nor how they pattern match the data of this reality. We SHOULD NOT JUDGE
The key point about life is.. make choices.. shit happens. BE REAL ! you will get quality feedback.. generally you get out of life what you put in.. if you are good natured you will win in the end.. but randomness is there to obfuscate the obvious... and to ensure that you MUST CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF !! change only comes from within. Sometimes you are just shit out of luck but you will always be best off if you are genuine and dont kid yourself about your EGO.. ego is not good.. it can drive us, but feed it too much and you are heading towards the dark side.. eg corporate scum (but not all corporates are anywhere near pure evil lol.. there is a reason corporations run the world, most ppl are pretty oblivious to lifes lessons!)
Noone can MAKE you choose to be mad for example.. there is always a better choice just often we can't see it or are afraid of being "not good enough / a failure".. which is actually illogical.. besides if you could be MADE to choose a certain way.. prohibition anyone ? yeah it doesn't work.
Bill & Ted said it best.. whoever wrote the song !
You are right...
You are right where you belong.
guy is a freaking genius. all of his lyrics are just gold. No matter which band he sings with.
"My country boner won't go down"
@@kjsampson5811 Hhahaaha that's an epic song.
Tool, A perfect circle, and his new band Puscifer. Damn man just a great guy to start a band with.
"What if she's a zombie or a Dracula and tries to fucking eat me"
@@DerWaidmann_ Conditions of my Parole is great come on.
This is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. 🖤
I think the same
1:30 a.m. 2 days after Halloween loving this song since the day it came out.💜
Definitely agreed my friend. Outstanding 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫
My fucking reticular activating system!
This song lives rent-free in my head forever.
Well I bought the cd so I payed for it, but I get more satisfaction than any Rembrandt, haha
I used to live rent free with my parents forever 🤣
Indeed
@@bitter37 applies to most of us. lol.
Beautiful thoughts🙏
I could listen to this song forever.
Gay
Ray Collier OH A Burrrnnnnn!
TheSonicFlame what's "gay" about that?
Stephanie G there's absolutely nothing gay about what I said. I meant to say your stunningly beautiful, of course I'm sure you got that when you read my comment.
Stephanie G as long as I put a smile on your face I'm happy
I just love seeing Paz play the violin. I was sad when she left APC.
Prolly quit because they didnt show her when they showed all the dudes faces lol
Also liked her, looking back Paz L gave apc a certain dimension. (the string instrument / bass thing)
To be fair the third album wasn't worth sticking around for. Rushed and political, it just didn't have the quality of the first two albums.
She quit to join Billy Corgan's post Pumpkins band, Zwan which only ended up lasting 6 months.
@@MrAmc1291 j
I still adore this beautiful masterpiece.
The vibe in this comment section is everything. I love how this song means so much to so many people
Yeah makes me cry a little
It's amazing just how short 15 years can seem
true that ay!
Yeah,it feels like it was just yesterday I was being born.
lol
Time flies whether you're having fun or not.
I remember hearing this song around 5 years ago in a restaurant, and ever since then it has played out in my head, like a memory. I wanted to find out the name of the song and who was the group that created this song. And now finally... after 5 years my search has come to an end. I can finally listen to this song as many times as I want...
This song is hauntingly beautiful.
@martin brana what restaurant played this song?? I've never heard this song played anywhere and I'm old enough to have bought this CD when it came out. I'm curious where you heard it.
@@benofficial5437 I worked at Ruby Tuesdays from 03 until 09 and for a while the music that played was just a directTV music channel that the manager picked out. So depending on the manager we'd have classic rock one night, smooth jazz the next, then stuff like this the next. I think they played APC on alternative stations back then, I can definitely remember them playing this song at the grocery store I worked at in 02 &03.
Cool fucking restaurant
Check out TOOL
When this song just hits the spot, and even if it is just for a moment, you don't feel so alone, so you listen to it on repeat... It was relatable when I was in high school, and just as relatable now at 37... it just hits hard
fuckin eh man! this song describes my situation perfectly
@@hellspawn328 .,,.
Same.
@@valenciawhaley9256 i hope things get better due…
@@valenciawhaley9256 this song is a master piece, whole album is one of the greatest 🙂👍
The themes of rejection are beautifully laid out in this song.
ya and it also explains well that the person who rejects is the souless husk with the issues, not us
Still shaken by this song in 2019.... is it not one of the best song ever written?
It absolutely is
Definitely is. Very few lyricists out there like Maynard.
Absolutely...
Not even close to being his best
Might be my very favorite
This hits a little too close to home...Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
this song speaks to so many different people with similar experiences. Oh
and if your names Justin law comes from soul eater that's awesome.
Robert Fury
Yeah that's my real name lol
Same. Just found out my ex who I'm still very much in love with and miss terribly is going on a date with someone. I don't know why but this song perfectly explains how I feel.
Flash HarelKrash just went through the same exact thing last month, you’re not alone. 7+ years down the drain in a single day for nothing. It does get better I hope anyway
@@stupendoushorrendous8258 Hope things are better now for you after a year sorry for the late response but felt compelled to say that im sorry for you that you had to experience that hell.... Going through it myself now..... 10 years of marriage..... Gone in a day..... Already moved in with someone else within a week and has completely shunned and forgotten me... Love of my life.... Gave her every bit of me... So i understand that pain.... And i don't think ive ever felt this destroyed in my life. Again i do hope all is well now. Cheers
My favorite part is practically the end, where it says "ohh well" it literally generates a peace for me, definitely MJK's voice is something very deep.
I come here when I want to feel all the feelings
Every, single, time.
Just to feel in general
Nobody takes to the level Maynard does
Dave B
True that
This song Describes the Pain of loving someone, a friend, a romantic Partner, but feeling alone and isolated or even neglected because even though they care for you, love you.
They Don't understand you
They Don't see you, at all.
or even simply describing Unrequited Love, being "passed over".
This song, makes me cry every time I hear it. because of all of these.
Edit: I still do.
true. it takes time to stand up for yourself even to be alone but it doesn't mean you'll end up lonely
I feel you...😭😭😭
Perfectly stated-- reminds me of my wife of 12 years who walked out s year ago , no reason , she never knew how much. I loved Her and didn’t care
Very cool to hear your prospective..
@@conqururfear I have a high school crush that was married for 12 years, 3 children. Walked away from her husband last year in October.
We met the summer after. I crushed on her then and love her now. Still do. But she told me she is broken and wants to be alone. Alone like I still am...
It's VERY hard to find a song that transcends time, emotion, and space, but this is one of them. It still breaks my heart, it still gives me the chills, it's still beautiful, and above all else, it STILL reminds me of that 18 year old boy who fell in love for the 1st time in 2001, only to have my heart broken. 💔
So true, I wanted to cry a happy cry when I first heard this song 25 yrs ago.
21 years and it still sends shivers down my spine
This song allowed Validation in my loneliness as a teen. Every line deeply resembles the way one feels when being an outcast even among family. Thank you for creating it.
Thank you for a comment I can actually relate to.
No doubt
Yea…
I wish this song came out in the 80s when I was teenager
Makes me want to cry each time I listen
+Molly Wilkins please don't.
*****
Fuck, my resuls test must have gotten leaked. pray 4 me
Me too! I think that's why I listen to it daily lol I'll take this bridge drop over a bass drop all day!
I too am a Wilkins
+Molly Wilkins I do cry everytime I hear it...
"You dont, you don't, you don't seeeeeee meee at all" best part
james maynard was a gift to the world. truly a once in a lifetime singer, just a voice that hypnotizes you.
Was? You just gave me a mini heart attack. He's still alive, mate. And still creates songs.
Lyrics:
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through
To see you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind
The eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting
Just a little bit too much from the wounded
but I see, see through it all
See through, see you
'Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind
the Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of us look for these Lyrics right away. Thank you!
Thx ;-à
👍
@@JRNJRBJBNBBEJB I can’t answer for Maynard. But I can answer this, I was a stepping stone for my ex, so she could get to her true love.
My most favorite song in the whole wide world.
This is the greatest song I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
i know right
If you are not familiar with Maynard, prepare to find many many more songs like this from A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and even Tool. Welcome to the Journey.
@RGF RGF NOPE
@RGF RGF are you really that dumb? This song came out before Wish You Were Here. And it’s were* not where
Same!
Eyes of a fallen angel...eyes of a tragedy ...piece of art. My God i can't believe it's almost 21 years,where did the time go?
My favorite song from A Perfect Circle.
It's a whole Freudian thing, how we long for the whole status of the womb. Keep in mind that's a theory and doesn't necessarily explain our feeling of lack. But, as it goes, you look for that connection in others, you really want them to understand you. You start out in life trapped in all the fallacies of human thinking, namely that physical attractiveness correlates with goodness, intelligence, positive emotional qualities. But an artistic, sensitive person increasingly finds that connection difficult to find, and realistically if we're talking Freud, it's not possible to become a unified whole. So I would say this song seems to be about seeking that connection, looking for another person who makes you feel less alone. And because of human nature, you're seeking out more attractive people, which only leads you to frustration. Then, this is complicated by having fame because people can't see you. They already think they know you, even though they only know your persona. Which is not unlike being attractive, in that people are generally satisfied by your looks and don't even bother to get to know you. So you're struggling with a world where everyone likes you de facto and doesn't even care about your personality, feelings, anything. Which only complicates what is often an endless impossible quest to find a sense of connection with other people in this world.
that's so deep to me
+Bezlonir hey, thanx for some insight. im an over sensitive, creative type. when i thought i couldnt do this crazy shit no more. tool and perfect circ gleam vocal recognision and spiritual hope in2 my zone.. esp like the comment re. looks must make the person good inside. thats a common anouying confusion. im judged on my looks and that really grinds my gears. no i should be grateful for my looks, i am . just hate unwanted attentions. im in my 40,s now, so less greif
hey dude if its ok i am going to put you analize on my facebook wall, credited to you though
Sure, go ahead.
Annie Clarke I find tool and APC to be very spiritual and deep. There's always an emotional arc to the songs and the album. And I think it's pretty identifiable to be angry about the past or the way people treat you. So Tool and APC really hit those notes.
this is one of those songs you have to listen to in the right moment to truly understand.
I couldn't tell you the power this song had in my life as a therapy.
This song came out 17 years ago. Wow
Ragnar Lodbrok it came out 59 years ago for me
Ragnar Lodbrok I remember it like it was yesterday.
Ragnar Lodbrok pray for me.
oh well
Wow. I remember it like it was yesterday. Wow
this song, takes me back to High School, and the memories of that one girl, who i secretly loved.
Nesto P. SPOT FUCKING ON
I felt the same about a girl at High School too, and a week before it ended she finally noticed me. Years later we got married. Hope it all works out for you too champ.
Same.
i hear ya man , i did the same thing. I was lucky enough to marry her lol. its been 16 years we have been married
same here, and nope...it didn't happen for me, is it the reason I'm so dark right now? Maybe...just think about how happy that fulfilled love made you, imagine how would you be if that never happened to you, that's probably me more or less
This song is to all our exes,And i light a candle for Maynard's healing captivating voice❤️💯🔥
Here’s to you Joshua Chastain. My love.
Who was the first boy to ever love me at the sweet age of 13.
Who I reconnected with over a decade later over his OD/ 3 week hospital stay and his stories about that time.
He lived another 5 years with me. Married, step kids, and a child of our own.
Until his demons caught up with him.
He played this song loud when he couldn’t find words.💔
I come here to remember him.
I’m sorry for your loss. I have 6 years without alcohol and 5+ years without any painkillers which were my 2 substances of choice. My alcohol abuse started very early on but painkillers were something that happened later in life after multiple injuries and a chronic back issue. I’ve never OD’d on opiates but I gave myself alcohol poisoning a handful of times and still deal with stomach problems from my years of drinking.
Your comment helps me remember I’m still in this fight for life I can’t ever feel like I’m no longer an addict or an alcoholic I’ll always be that and I have to thank myself and God every day that I stay sober
@@Evergreen1400 keep strong🖤 even when the present looks bleak you never know what your future holds or the hearts that will break/lives that will be forever changed if you leave. Ty for this comment 🖤
i do not know why this song touches me so. it spoke volumes to my 16 year old self back then.
I was just thinking the same thing. I was sixteen back when this song came out.
Blake Gildaphish same here
Blake Gildaphish crazy how songs change meanings to you as an adult vs what it was when you were young.
Just turned 17, this song makes me feel like no song ever has before.
Me too, listening for the first time in years... pretty hard not to cry. Wtf happened to me....
No matter how fucked up I am, every time I listen to this song I find peace again
No matter how much peace I have in my life, this song never fails to fuck me up.
Love all the personal interpretations of this song. I remember reading once where Maynard wrote this song describing 3 of his friends who were all junkies and happened to be 3 Libras....
This is the one! Thank you. This actually sums things up. ❤
@@indiglojypsy3351 😁
Ones I understand the most is the broken down I love dark scars. They always seem to get made I want to in a way tattoo over them. Like that I died of a broken heart that is why it's the sacred heart left arm by my heart has no Halo because I feel I wear that.comes out at the bottom of the sleeve. If you don't want to do this why it's hidden even more and I had the heart scarred. I love tattoos about time for a new one and yes I sin thank god he can see no words picture this yes each one my book my canvas. Sin well talk later
Cuando no existía UA-cam y tenias que esperar por la tarde para verlos por MTV.. buenos tiempos aquellos..😎🖤🔥🇵🇪🎶🎵🤘🏻
I’ve always felt like this song represents unrequited love. The first person I ever truly had a crush on - I sent so many signs to see if he’d answer me back, but they all seemed to go unrecognized.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I remember listening to this song on new years of 2012. It was on repeat, I laid on the floor while I had tears running down my face...a broken heart....and unknowingly suffering from depression.... eventually dosing off to sleep. I'm 27 now this song still brings tears to my eyes.
So many memories, a different time a different place.
Still my favorite song. 🖤
49, comes and goes... you know?
I'm sure this song has many meanings. For me, it reminds me of a love you would have for someone, that doesn't love you back. You "threw them the obvious", they're oblivious and don't "see you". The song really portraits a heartbreak onto the listener of a deep love that you wanted, wished it could have been, but never will be.
"Oh well"
Seems like you're looking through a kaleidoscope
No matter what I do, you just don't see me. It hurts.
Can I get an amen?
Did you find that they're not worth the heartache during those four years since that comment?
Is there any song Maynard is NOT capable of turning into a masterpiece?
Boyfriend- Justin Bieber
Jeremy Miller Funny story, I went to a concert a few weeks ago where the opening band actually did cover that song. I don't think I've ever heard the original song, but the song they played was catchy and fun, despite the lack of lyrical quality.
that's not a song tho.
This entire album is a Masterpeice. I love love love many albums, but almost none of them do I Love all the songs. Cept for this one. Whe i describe this album to people I tell them it sounds "Hauntingly Beautiful".
I am so grateful everyone else is listening to this on repeat too. A masterpiece!
the first song i attributed as a theme song to a failed love interest
+PestMusicNZ lol
***** i did. lol
+Eric West same
+Eric West oh you too.
+Eric West Mine was Safety Dance
I love this song. One of my favorites of all time.
One of the greatest songs ever.
So beautiful ❤️. Maynard's voice with everything in between. AMAZING!!!! CLASSIC!!!
this song is the main reason I have this album cover tattooed on my back.... I've never connected with a song so much. I've been I love with it for 10 years now
Great choice for a permanent tattoo
You didn’t 🤦🏻♀️
I'd date you just because your tattoo
17 or 18 years here
Probably my favorite song in the entire world... Simply haunting and perfect.
Neglect. Once you experience it, you tend to recreate it in relationships as an adult. It follows you from childhood and is oddly familiarly comforting, but still so depressing. You want the needs met that you don’t even know you really had, but you want to fill others’ needs for attention and the validation you unknowingly crave. But it’s still the same equation of feeling void and ignored but you can’t pinpoint it. That’s what the song encompasses.
it's rare to find music that has a piece of someone's soul in it. someone put their soul in this. and it feels... like I'm not alone
thank you
Even when I was a kid I thought Maynard and the little boy were the same person in the video. Some Haruki Murakami shit going on right there.
+Jesus Alberto Maytorena Velarde
The juxtaposition between the experience of the little boy and Maynard is perfect. We're all just little boys losing our prized possessions to things we think we want, all while feeling alone and (with the aid of the obvious imagery) longing for the comfort of the womb.
+Charles Franklin deep.
+Jesus Alberto Maytorena Velarde are they not?
+Jesus Alberto Maytorena Velarde i thought they are.

It's free to personal intepretation, I like to think they are.
Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed,
And passed over...
I loathe...loathe thee..sometimes.
?
i like this point "?" it s so beautiful to put a"? " to try to understand
23 years later. As Josh Freese was just announced as the new drummer of the Foos, this album instantly came to mind.
Yes yes yes.. Josh is the man..
Maynard's full 100% emotion.. sips wine
One of the best songs that i ever heard
rainbowgini
I feel u... This whole album is great...It came out my senior year of high school. This track in particular though is totally fucking epic. No matter where I am, or what I have going on, it STILL gives me chill bumps every time I hear it. Fucking unbelievable!...
Thank you Maynard James Keenan for giving us A Perfect Circle. Mer de Noms will always be the best rock album ever made in the 21st century. Rockstars don't have what it takes nowadays to make something thats real like "Tool" and " A Perfect Circle"
Modern music is rehashed over produced garbage man, totes agree
@@blindsheep6180 Definitely.
I remember when this album came out. New Maynard work was all that mattered, this album became one of the best ever made. Three Libras to me is one of the best songs ever made.
22 years ago??? Jesus... Incredible song, so many hidden layers.
16 years and this song continues amazing....
I just listened to it for first time in few years actually and forgot how much I love it..now can't stop listening just like every time get on it
MJK, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Pusifer, thank you sooooo much! For all of your creativity, depth, soul, meaning, lyrics, melodies, imaginations, illustrations, Maynard, your voice........ I cannot stop listening to your voice,............. your songs are timeless, and some times I wish were endless, especially this one.................... another 8 to 10 minutes....... thank you, such inspiration, beautiful poetry.............sorry, cannot stop,.........just too darn good, ok, I should say, beyond great. I write only with good intentions, and yes, this is my point of view, not to offend any one else.
Don't forget Tool
The nostalgia of when this came out hits and hurts way more now
than the lyrics ever could !!
Again back into this song, album, band. You don't see me,you don't see,you don't see at all and I go on cry😢❤ Top song!
mer de noms is a fucking bad ass album and highly underated
I wouldn't consider an album that received good reviews and went Platinum "underrated".
Not by us!
Yeah
The album I would take on a lonely island if i only could take one with me
This song gives you that feeling a lot of music just can't do!!! Maynard's voice is undeniable
This song hits so deep.. and even more when you do feel like no one sees you clearly, through all the ways you try to demonstrate yourself to them, in a way to feel and be validated. The lyrics are pure gold amd the instrumental is amazing, the emotion MJK shows is impeccable. Reading lots of comments and its amazing howamy people feel this way or somehow are attached to the song, music is amazing!
I’m sitting outside Redbird Smith Clinic in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. It’s nice here. I’m so proud the City of Sallisaw has this Clinic. I’m actually related to the Smith’s. They are my cousins. I’m sitting out in the parking lot waiting for my mom and brother. My brothers stomach and sides have been bothering him. I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately. I’ve been listening to this this morning. Thanks to A Perfect Circle for the TERRIFIC MUSIC.🌠🎵🎶🎼🎧
Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection, down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed, and passed over
When I've looked right through, see you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious, just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all, see through, see you
Cause I threw you the obvious, to see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy, oh well
Oh well, apparently nothing
Apparently nothing, at all
You don't, you don't, you don't, see me
You don't, you don't, you don't, see me
You don't, you don't, you don't, see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't, you don't see me at all
+Franjo Tušek I always thought he said 'You don't slay me" meh, slay is more fun to sing
+Klan Member Kevin I though it said your naked bottom baby when I was younger lol
What? xD
What is the song talking about?
thanks brother
You know, I used to think this song was about an overlooked individual, wanting to be noticed by a person he cared for. But now I think it's about Maynard. He's previously expressed frustration at his fans and how they view him, and his views on music, politics, and philosophy. He feels his messages are misinterpreted. I think that's what this song is about. He's "throwing us the obvious," and rather than "seeing him," we "flew with it" on our backs, using it to confirm our own beliefs by interpreting it how we choose, rather than how it should be interpreted.
Cool logo you got there nice
I think its about insert something stupid here. I'm gonna go back to my annoying pop music for a bit. 😁👋
This song is just perfect.
I love this song sooo much, I'm almost 40 and still love it
Such a great song! I'm 50 and a grandma who still rocks lol
39 and I'm crying
This song stands the test of time! I absolutely love this song and the genius that is Maynard.
When I was a young, naive and soulless teenager, I had no idea what this song was about.
Having grown up considerably, and having experienced my own series of unfortunate relationships, I revisit "3 Libras" with a whole new perspective, understanding and appreciation.
There is an old soul inhabiting James Maynard Keenan, and he has been sent to our world to deliver a powerful and uplifting message to the young souls that make up the majority.
Thank you.
Hope you haven't been saying his name like that all this time.
🙄
One of my most beloved and dearest friends recently passed away. A few years before he passed he made a YT channel and uploaded some videos of himself talking, and one of him singing this song, so it goes without saying how special this song is to me. I love you Josh, you are loved and greatly missed.
I’ve listened to APC mindlessly for decades, afraid to really look into the meanings of their songs. Slightly afraid that the meaning behind the songs would disappoint me, and slightly because I was afraid that they would mean exactly what I thought they would mean. Both of which might change my perspective of the song - but after going through comment after comment on each song, I can only say that the connection so many other people have to this music draws me closer to it as well. These songs truly speak to me on a level I can’t quite comprehend. I love it.
