The Noose Lyrics

Performed by A Perfect Circle
Review The Song (111)

So glad to see you well, overcome them
Completely silent now
With heaven's help
You've 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 plannin' to go about makin' 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 plannin' to go about makin' your amends
To the dead
To the dead

With your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin'
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin' down

Your halo slippin' down
(I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends)
[repeated]

Your halo slippin' down
Your halo's slippin' down to choke you now

'13 steps is about relapse | Reviewer: Hategrin | 4/23/12

Sorry to burst your bubble but 13 steps refers to what people in 12 step programs call the 13th step, relapse.

The meaning behind this album's title can be found in the meaning to Pantera's song '13 steps to nowhere'.

Both Manyard James Keenan and Pantera front-man Phil Anselmo were in a 12 step program at one point of their lives, it's not surprising to see similar influences present in their songwriting.

Suicide | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/12

Regardless of what maynard intended this song to mean, I think what makes & continues to make tool and a perfect circle such powerful music is the fact that as fans we can take what we want from it. We are free to interpret the meanings for ourselves & maybe thats one reason the lyrics are a bit abstract at times & as always, complex. To some, this song is about rehab while to others its about a holy war, to me, its about suicide. The amazing and wonderful thing about all of maynard's lyrics is that they deliver a million different messages to all of us at a time when we feel we need to be understood & at the same time, maynard gets to express himself. Its beautiful really. I would say that every interpretation of this song is right, as long as you take something from it, you can't be wrong. If it strikes a cord in you for whatever reason, it's done it's job.

So true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/4/11

Being an ex addict myself I can relate to this song. It's one thing giving up the drugs, alcohol etc. and yeah you do feel holy...but then you have to make amends to your friends and family to make up for you being out of your head. And with the noose, being the addiction creeping back at you.

Emotive DVD | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/12/11

There is no hidden meaning. He explains it very clearly in his emotive DVD. It is about how people get a bit 'holier than thou' after a recovery from addiction. They don't always take responsibility with those they hurt in their drug-filled past. Watch the DVD. It's amazing.

hi guys | Reviewer: Shayan | 8/7/11

If some people know about holly wars you can understand clearly about holly wars.i mean it's clear.the person that maynard talk about overcome his enemies with heaven's help but maynard says how you are going to make your amends to lives that you took for your goals and finally your halo will choke you and you will be dead.

oldirtydent@gmail.com | Reviewer: Oddfather | 7/29/11

I'd say the 13th step seeings how the band kind of political means 13 steps of the pyramid to the all seeing eye of the illuminati ....just my opinion...Maynard is sneaking with metaphors and hidden meanings like the song pet is obviously political "go back to sleep" referring to the government keeping the sheeple in the dark while they take over the world....like I said just my opinion

A small correction... | Reviewer: Martin | 7/14/11

The term "The 13th step" has nothing to do with what you do after rehab. It refers to someone who is or has been in a 12-step recovery program that makes inappropriate sexual advances toward someone who is in the early stages of recovery. That particular act is seen as one of the most irresponsible ones you can engage in because experience has shown that recovering addicts dating other recovering addicts often leads to relapse.

I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/13/11

The song is actually about rehab. Actually the entire album is. That's why it's called the 13th step... it's what to do after recovery and the weird quirks about people in rehab. In this song he's addressing someone who seems to be doing well in recovery, but at the same time has adopted a "holier than thou" attitude. The trouble with this in recovery is that when people become too confident, is when they tend to slip up, and become choked by their halo that's slipped down around their neck. The line where he says "I'm more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends to the dead" is referring to the 12 steps of recovery. There is a point in which addicts must realize their part in wrong doings and make amends to those they've harmed because of their addiction. This is obviously a difficult task if the other party is either literally dead, or more often, doesn't want anything to do with you because of your past baggage and reputation.

only maynard | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/20/11

only maynard and apc knows what means this song to them... and that's the only thing that really matters, 'cause they made the song for us to listen, but they feel it... as all great musicians and composers in all the world since ever and forever... who really knows? maybe it's not a song, it's a real feeling played on musical instruments... PEACE AND LOVE

I don't claim to know anything since I did not write the song but | Reviewer: GthcWrtr | 3/15/11

Maynard was a strong voice against The war in Iraq and I believed upon hearing this song that the words echo What was happening at the time when George Bush admitted there were no weapons of mass destruction he was "casting his demons out" he made himself to look the innocent with a halo while our men and women were dying in a war we should have never started.....

Song about dark to light? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/11

It's about someone who has successfully come out of rehab and is selfishly happy and satisfied that they are ok and a new person forgetting what they have put everyone else connected to their life through, it's not got a positive message to emerging from dark to light or why would it have been called the noose? Far from a positive song

Moving forward | Reviewer: Tom | 1/17/11

This song seems to hint at the notion that guilt will entangle all who emerge from darkness into light. If you can let go and forgive yourself, you will have made your amends. Pain manifests sympathy. When you've been through hell, you can recognize and help others suffering the same emotional pain. Don't be afraid to share your heart.

Trods Endlessly Alone (For Good Reason) | Reviewer: Renonymous | 12/1/10

To the author of the review posted on 11/13/10, the title of your review seems very apt. Until you learn to communicate in an intelligent way, your thoughts will be discounted as the disjointed ramblings that they are. As for the song's meaning, Dante Alighieri comes to mind.

Trods Endlessly Alone | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/10

I believe that there are only two parts to most music(escp. mainstream). One is the sound/feel the other the words. However simple the words, they are what I focus on to understand the msg of the song. So many talented and deeply spiritual meanings that help man find life's meaning. Lets corrupt it and fool the people eh! Sounds good to me money. ARETHEYAWAKEN!

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king | Reviewer: William | 8/12/10

To all you know it alls... pun intended, I'd suggest checking out the music video for this song before getting all high and mighty; even if you are of the opinion that the meaning is up for grabs and that's the beauty of it. At least try and get the full picture before speaking up pointlessly - unless you count self expression as an end. Truth be told, there is very little difference between a comment, a criticism, an opinion and a suggestion; and they all have one thing in common: ''I''. So let that be that, and stfu
