Though, you are absolutely right about what the song is about. His name is not Mayland dumbass. It's Maynard James Keenan. FOR THE FINAL TIME JUDITH MARIE IS HIS MOTHER! Nothing about religious stockholm syndrome or anything of the sort. His Mother was paralyzed and a deep christian and took it as a test. She didn't get angry at all and kept her faith even when she was about to die. The song is about him pretty much losing faith in God and the way He works. Understand? So he wrote about her in the song "Judith". Then again in the new album Wings For Marie (Pt 1) ad 10,000 Days (Wings pt 2) For those of you who don't know, Marie is Judith's middle name. Hope that clarifies everything for you tool's. Mother | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/29/07 This song is clearly questioning his mother's devotion to religion. It really makes me think of him as a little boy [an eleven year old, I guess?] saying, "Why, Mom? Why? Why did this happen to you?" It's really very depressing. I see it as Maynard isn't even bitching about religion, but telling his mother to break down and get angry instead of simply having faith. 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 | 3/24/07 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 | 3/7/07 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 | 2/10/07 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 | 2/10/07 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. | 2/8/07 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 | 2/5/07 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 | 1/29/07 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 | 12/31/06 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. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   Previous 10 Pages    11    12    13    14    15    16    17    18
