Reviews for Judith Lyrics

Im all for the First Admendment right to free speech so a Perferct Circle can let views rip...Feel free.. I liked this song till I saw the lyrics. I think it goes to far. An attack on Allah, Christ, Moses umm I think its a little much but to each his own. This song was full of too much venom for me and Im a Disturbed fan lol.

I've read the lyrics to the song (after listening it for ions). I've also read the "debate". And since everyone has an asshole..I mean opinion.....
1.) You can be SAVED and beleive in GOD and have FREE WILL
2.) After reading this "debate" only one word can sum this up..IGNORANT. You people have no idea what you are talking about. And sometimes, IGNORANCE can't be counter acted with come-backs.

ok, i read the first couple of imputs... and i lost it to the point i had to add my own... I am very sorry if this has all ready been said... but i have to add what i think at this momment... first and fore most i am a christain.... this song was written from a son that lost a mother to cancer... you can feel the pain... and even though some right wingers would love to think this song is ebil... its not... it gets back to a question of faith... and if by hearing this song you felt you needed to judge someone... then you have made the mistake... I know personally more then lyrics and god this song is awesome.. and if you think for a momment it is putting down faith you are wrong.... it is questioning your belief... wait until it happens to you...

Hey Jordan, I think there's more to it than that. I think if it were just about the guy who stabbed Jesus then it wouldn't be named after his mother. He's making an analogy through the guy- that's for sure. He's saying that Judith wasn't the one to stab him, "It's not like you killed someone, It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side" (he uses it to argue his question of why she is to suffer). Then he contrasts it with how after all she'd been through, she'd still "Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed."

You all realize, that this song was made for the man who stuck the spear into the side of jesus 2 make sure he was dead, right? "Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed, He did it all for you.." its a song praising the man that scraped the life away from Jesus...and i honestly raise my cup to that man as well

I feel I can relate to this song because even as a catholic (since stating one's belief seems to be rather important in this review) I've felt the same way I assume he feels in this song. I was next to my grandmother when she died. It was a horrible slow and painful death. As I stood by her death bed I was so angry that this God whom she was always so faithful to would put her through so much pain. I like this song because I feel he does a great job expressing that emotion through music. So I guess it all just depends on your own perspective.

If you listen to the song "Eulogy" by TOOL (The band that was always meant for Maynard to be in)
he does a similair thing...except its a bit longer and a bit more descriptive. That's beside the fact though.In the lyrics "Fuck your god,your lord,your christ" he's taking one side and disproving that there is a god and that many people believe what they are told with no questions asked. They follow like sheep and never really think for themselves because they are told what to believe and anything else that doesn't believe it is wrong,wicked and demonic. At the same time Maynard is taking the other side and saying that Christ did die for everyones sins and that he did it for us. All in all...he is taking an athiest and christain point of view,But its to hit some of the focal points in huge arguments about this subject (just look at the reviews lol...there's quite a few that are qutie one sided)using simple words.
for one last thing though.It is about his mom so while it raises controversy around god and antichrist it's mainly written around his mom. It may have been written in anger if you really look at it and feel the song out as well. Like what some others said (I agree with Amy on a lot of things...but I'm not trying to take sides here) it's just music. Love and know it. This is an amazing song. Then again...doesn't damn near everything that Maynard has written been amazing???

I am not a Christian or religious and like most of you i adore the song. there was something that "lamar" said that i feel needs ammending tho he said, "there'd b peace if people would just learn to keep their goddamned options to their selfs"
what i think he should have said is "there'd be peace if people would accept other peoples right to voice their opinion and not find offence in it just accept it as the way they feel.

just realize that Maynard wrote this song in anger.....not because he doesn't believe in god and crap.

If I'm not mistaken...Maynard is very much a christian....maybe to the point of apocolyptical...but still a christian....

so just accept that this song is awesome (renholder mix of this song is my favorite) and get on with it.

im a christian and i like the song. while i believe the line "Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ" is totally disturbing to us i also believe that its very very troubling to go through what he had to go through. there is something called freedom of choice. if u like the song, cool, if u dont guess what... its cool too. but u dont have to turn this in to a debate and insult us church goers. if u dont believe in God. thats your problem. if u do, thats really and trully your problem too. there'd b peace if people would just learn to keep their goddamned options to their selfs

The reviews you guys left got a little heated. It's funny to me that such a simple song can create such a debate. This is a completely healthy topic to debate about. It appears that the atheists get aggitated easier than the Christians. This is just a simple observation I made while skimming through the reviews. To all the non-Christians, here is a word of advice the next time you debate: don't work yourself up into a temper, it floods your point and you turn into a moron. State your side of the argument without name calling to avoid looking like a tool. Christians: if you get the hankering to leave anti-Perfect Circle remarks on a page for Perfect Circle music reviews, just keep in mind you are going to make people angry. Sparking anger in the hearts of others will not bring anyone closer to God, it will only push them away. Remember everyone: This is a place for music reviews, not beliefs. Just because the song is about Maynard's views on christianity doesn't mean that is all the substance of the song. There are also instruments and a voice. Try commenting on the song... not God. Duh.

I find it refreshing as a Christian that Maynard's mother Judith had the strength to remain faithful to her savior even though all of these horrific trials happened in her life. She is a shining testimony that even in times of great heartache and pain you can find comfort with God. I just wish that Maynard could follow his mother's example.

I'm a Christian and I don't care what the lyrics are saying. To Christians like me, just enjoy the song don't mind the lyrics.

Assholes...
