For example, the song Judith was a contribution towards his mother, who suffered from a stroke and was restricted to life in a wheelchair. It wouldn't surprise me if Passive was yet another production of his feelings toward some sort of past event. Cool song... | Reviewer: Mithila | 9/9/09 This is da soundtrack for Constantine..it's abt a doctor givin his patient da news tht he has very less time left in da world..it's da enraged reaction of a person who is not ready 2 accept his fate which is early death..it jus shows da total theme of da movie..trying 2 buy time & not accepting fate.. Passive | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 I think it's about his dad he didn't have a good relationship with he was probley one of those dads who gets angry if you aren't perfect and become what he wants, and he would tell him how the artist "disappointed him" and his dad died and he never got to tell him how he felt. That's what I got out of it maybe it is literal | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/4/09 Maybe the song is a literal meaning. He's pissed off that the doctor told him someone close to him is dead. He's optimistic that they are just playing dead, sleeping, being passive aggressive trying to avoid confronting him. Inside he knows they are dead and maybe it's better off but sometimes when you are sad it is easier to ignore your sadness and instead be mad at the person for dying. although it also sums up how what I'd like to say to the passive aggressive A-holes I work with. Cold sense | Reviewer: Saeed Majidi Golvandani | 6/11/09 I have lots of memories with this song. My cousin Soheal & I listened to this song in the car while we drove in Ramsar in the nights. It gives me a cold sense of life like a dead body and death Oh ... No JOy ... Persian Tomcat Air Force awesome!! | Reviewer: kuri | 6/6/09 I just thought i would express my opinion that I think this song is absolutely AMAZING!! Every time you hear it don't you just want to play it again? OH! and I find it really interesting that everyone has such different ideas about the hidden meanings... I wont give it a go as I'm too tired XD xxx kuri Atheist? | Reviewer: Enksy | 4/19/09 I always thought it was about god. You know, "don't play dead" "why can't you turn and face me" it just sounded a bit like one of their popular atheist themes. The interpretation also sounds good, however, and I does mesh themes with the rest of the album. Awesome song BTW. simply put... | Reviewer: Legacy Virus | 2/18/09 I can relate to this song. I personally think this song deals with one-self. Yourself. Think of it as if your mind was talking to you. Reminding you of what you wanted to become. What you wanted out of life. And yet for whatever reason, you did not accomplish those goals. So now you have your mind talking to you about it. Your soul wants you to accomplish your goals! Yet alot of us get caught up in the hardships of life. "Maybe it's better of this way" is your mind telling you that maybe you weren't suppose to accomplish those goals. "Maybe you're better off this way" is again, your mind telling you that maybe, you don't have what it takes to accomplish them anyways. I personally use this song as fuel to my fire! To make sure I accomplish my goals in life. Because one day you may wake up & wonder what the fuck just happened? This is not where I was suppose to be! "Wake up, & face me, don't play dead..." Once more, it is yourself challenging yourself to go after those dreams you have since let go of years ago. But that is just what this song means to me! I could be wrong, but for some reason, I doubt it. I believe this song to be about a dead dream that is haunting you. Uhhhhh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/09 I don't think that Maynard wrote this song, it came out of the song Vacant, by Tapeworm, the Trent Reznor/ Maynard/ others project. So don't try to justify it by his writing style or other songs on the album. Also, to anyone using any "passive" meanings, I think the title is just short for passive aggressive, which is very different. amazing... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/28/08 In the midst of all these discussions about meaning of the song, I find that this song applies to myself (perfectly, pretty much) in a way that's completely unrelated to the topics being discussed, so here's another vote for different interpretations being the way to go.
