But in my beliefs, it is your fault what happens to you. alot of people don't like to hear that, because they don't want to accept that. but anyway, he's just confused and hurt as far as i can tell. it's an awsome song, it's stuck in my head now! the guitar is beautiful and fun to play with your amp up LOUD XD Stupid logic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/6/07 Indeed the guy is pissed off...That is why He is called God in the 1st place. Imagine the highest title we know in society was probably King and as a servant of your King you would accept anything from him. Now not only a god but God... He gives an takes at His will He is God and she was just being His servant. Like the music but the lyric is kind of stupid from my point of view.

It has nothing to do with what you think | Reviewer: GC | 6/5/07 From my own personal experience of losing my father at a young age, I understand exactly what he is feeling. "WTF God?" I was extremely angry with God for doing this to me for years. I realized later that hey, bad stuff happens. It seems to me that the song is written as if he was still living through that nightmare, or maybe he wrote it during, who knows. Don't over analyze the lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/1/07 Yes, Maynard wrote this song about his mother. She suffered a stroke when he was young, leaving her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, paralyzing her. Yet she still kept her faith. This song displays his anger towards god, for "punishing" a person who didn't deserve it, who happens to be his mother. The problem with all these tool and APC songs is that everyone searches so deep for meaning within the lyrics. But, the songs are supposed to give you a feeling, and shouldn't be taken as literally as possible. This is from an interview with Kurt Loder from MTV: Loder: Why do you never include a lyric sheet with your albums? Why do fans have to go online to get them? Keenan: Because I think reading is a thinking process, and I would prefer that people feel the album first, and just let it sink in. Because you might get something out of the music that you might not get from thinking about it, and watching the words go by. I usually put the lyrics online a month or so after the release of the album, but it's better to feel them first. You get the idea that he likes people to interpret his music before they have a chance to analyze every one of his words and search for the true meaning. In retrospect, this song is probably the only one that we will ever know the true meaning of. A perfect circle is such a great band, as is tool. But you must realize that the words are just as important as the other instruments in the groups. This is what sets these bands apart from all the others. Watch the Commentary | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/31/07 Maynard clearly pointed out the exact reason behind the lyrics for this song already in his commentary. The song is mainly based off of his experience with his mother's (Judith) blind faith. This song is about BLIND FAITH -- not in the Christian religion in particular, but in any kind of blind faith. My point | Reviewer: Modest | 5/23/07 Well. Maynard talks about his mother in this song, Judith Marie Keenan, who suffered a stroke and was rendered as a vegetable when he was only 11. She was really religious and that's what this song is about, I think. Sorry if any of you have written this before!! I Understand this song fully, though I disagree | Reviewer: Shaka | 5/21/07 The entire song is him talking to his mother. The first verse is pretty clear. The 2nd verse he is criticizing her because she still has faith when she has lost everything. The third verse seems to be widely misunderstood. He is telling her she didn't personally kill Jesus, so why is she guilted into worshipping Him, what do you owe him. the line "He did it all for you... " is sarcastic, not "reverse psychology" as someone else suggested. By, "it" he means her stroke and paralysis. Maynard does believe in God, and is pissed with him. I love the song, though I completely disagree. God doesn't hurt people, shit happens, that's it. You can't be pissed at the guy who made the stadium when a player gets hurt. But I see no reason not to thank him for the stadium and for letting us play there. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   Previous 10 Pages    11    12    13    14    15    16    17    18
