Passive Lyrics
Artist(Band):A Perfect Circle
Review The Song (54)Print the Lyrics
Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your RIGHT and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way (×4)
You're better off this (×2)
Maybe you're better off...

Wake up
(Why can't you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit... (×12)

Review about Passive

Somehow a selfish thanks | Reviewer: Rick | 11/26/09

Reading Ben and Cody's replies I can't help but feeling honored being a writer/poet myself. I also think my lyrics are really double and open to multiple interpretations. Real metaphorically. The lack of other people really understanding what I am trying to say must be seen as a compliment then is actually what you are saying and that's good for the ego. I almost drew all my inspiration from Maynard, Jim Morrison and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Pink Floyd and Anekdoten. All these lyricists are really top notch.



Meanings | Reviewer: Cody | 11/11/09

To those like ben chapman... He leaves the meanings to have different interpretations on purpose... Which is why his band is named Tool, they are our "tool" and we interpret their songs so differently and truely there is no wrong interpretation. You can believe u know what his songs are about, but officially we will never know until he tells us, but why would be do that? That would ruin all of the fun ;).



Waste of life | Reviewer: Clement | 11/10/09

I think this song is about trying to draw the life and potential out of someone... someone who has all the potential in the world.. yet for all they are doing with their life they may as well be sleeping the days away. Wasting the thing called life.. and the other trying so hard to draw it out of them.. before eventually giving up... disgusted.
I believe the meaning of this song is in a similar vein of 'Time' by Pink Floyd.



That's what's genius | Reviewer: benjamin Chapman | 11/10/09

I personally don't care what exactly he meant. I think the beauty of a lot of the APC songs is that he leaves the interpretation so open that people are able to derive their own meaning on many different levels. It's very hard to do that in writing and he is able to master it quite well. Passive is a perfect example of that.



Literalist | Reviewer: Ketixrei | 11/4/09

A lot of the songs written by Maynard reflect events of his own life.
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 ...

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
