A Perfect Circle – The Noose lyrics

A Perfect Circle – The Noose lyrics

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

He is talking about someone that has recently recovered from a drug addiction; with them recovering they get very self-righteous, and he wants to know how they are going to go about correcting the life's that the person has wronged during their addiction to a drug or something of that nature. The halo represents the action of trying to correct your wronging and the halo being pulled into a noose meaning that you are no better than before when you were on the drug and you are pulling yourself back into your same mistake.

He's wondering, now that your so godly. How will you make your amends to the dead without chocking? 1st amends means -to correct, improve, change or revise to improve ones conduct. I stole from my grandparents that I loved. I know too most that doesn't make sense. They've past, if I choose I can pray or go to their graves say "I'm sorry". Estimate how much I stole, and do something with the $. Buy them flowers, donate to something they liked, maybe fishing or camping for kids(examples). Then change my behavior, not steal. And sometimes that's hard to swallow. I think there are people are there that think their f*****g high and mighty, but I do smile when I think of them getting humbled.

If you have ever been to aa or na, then you have seen countless people just like the song is describing. The fact that the album is named "Thirteenth Step" only serves to confirm that Maynard means this. (since aa and na are based on 12-step programs) Also his use of the word "amends" makes me think that. (Step 9) I love this somg, as I think these programs work for many people, but they work on a "cult" level.
