What's more interesting is this: Read the lyrics to Jimmy, Judith, and Wings for Marie [parts I and II]. Think Outside the Box | Reviewer: Asante | 3/24/2007 The song is obviously more pro-Christian than anything; sort of a respectful tribute to his mother. I think Maynard's "angry words" are supposed to represent the voices of all the people that challenged his mother for her continued faith after her paralysis. The lyrics "it's not like you killed someone, it's not like you drove a hateful spear into HIS side," are actually pointing out that historically Jesus WAS killed, and there WAS a spear driven into his side just after he died to confirm that he was, in fact, dead. Those are points that I think a lot of people miss if they don't know the history. These lyrics being directly followed by "He did it all for you," seem to be Maynard's response to all those angry voices that cannot understand a Christian's devotion. He is defending his mother's faithful dedication by pointing out the basis of Christianity, that Jesus suffered tremendously, and was killed just to save us from our sins. He brings this point home at the end of the song by saying "talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why he did it all for you" meaning, Jesus went through all that pain and suffering, and for what? Leading the listener to the answer: Because he loves you..."He did it ALL for YOU." Just by reading the lyrics, you see that this is the single most repeated and emphasized part of this song. Another point of view - TampaReno | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/7/2007 You could also look at it as teenage angst… You have a Catholic girlfriend at 16 who always c*ck teases you when you’re trying to get some. She always promises she’s gonna give it up, but at the last minute she says NO! I can see some young kid screaming these thoughts after he’s had his last nerve stomped upon. Disdain | Reviewer: Allen Kerns | 2/10/2007 I think what he's really getting at is just overall disdain of humanity for never having the balls to question why, phrasing it with example of asking the ultimate why question: Why are we condemned for making free choice actions when we were given free choice by God or whatever high being you believe in. That's my thoughts... He is right. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/10/2007 Maynard points out religion's futility and the irony that the most religious people (ie. the seriously ill, poor etc) oftentimes have the most concrete evidence that God doesnt exist or care about them. You people have no idea what this song is about.. | Reviewer: Mark S. | 2/8/2007 Sure a song will have a different meaning to everyone that hears it, but Maynard didn't write this song because he hates Christianity. He wrote it because his mom continued to believe in God even after she became paralized. It even made her love God more... Cool | Reviewer: Fenix | 2/5/2007 A cool song,I just can say that I think it's one of the best among APC's songs Judith is his mother... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/2007 Judith is the first name of his mum... she had a stroke and was wheelchair bound for 27 years... dont know if some one wrote this befor me could not be bothered reading all of you thingys. She was obviously a christian and that is why he is so pissed off cause she kept her faith aven after the stroke. what? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/31/2006 I'm a Christian myself and this song doesn't really bother me. Yes, the lyrics are angry and harshly critical of God. So what?!? I've been in situations before where I felt angry at God too. I've wondered if he really existed. Do I think Maynard is right about God? Ultimately no, I don't, but I'm not going to criticize him for it when I've been in a similiar place myself. Even if I don't agree with an artist's perspective, I can still appreciate the art. I don't particularily like Marilyn Manson's message but I respect him and his artwork. He is a talented man. With that said, I like this song. It's well-written and fits together musically. Quiet heres the truth! | Reviewer: simon mc grath | 8/30/2006 first off this song is pure genius , judith was maylands mother who was a christan with extreme beliefs , she became paralazyed for 27years before dying in that time she still remained faithful to god and her faith never faltered mayland was so inspired by this 10,000 days is inspired by it , hence the lyrics in judith "praise the one who left you broken down and paralazyed he did it all for you" , mayland has never really attacked the christan faith ever hes attacked authoirty which is relgion as a whole , secondly he has never truly outlined his beliefs to anyone , any song that is percieved as a attack on relgion is only percieved only as that because of the view of the listener and not mayland himself , tool songs can be viewed on many diffrent levels, sure he says fuck yer lord yer god but as many ave said before hes entitled to his opinoin and relgion in my eyes is the root to all evil final verdict : Judith is a song full wit truth and purity , the flow of the drumming and singing of mayland are 2nd to non it will go down as a classic which Mae de norms the album is. peace and out!
