Perfect Circle, A - By And Down The River Lyrics
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
Showing only bits and pieces
'Til the light betray you and your empty allocution
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
Searching your eyes for a hint or trace of it
Searching your eyes for humility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I'm still searching, searching
Showing only bits and pieces
'Til the tide betrays you and your empty elocution
Carcass crippled underneath the pounding waves of adoration
Pied Piper, float on down the river
Bloated carcass crippled me, the weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadows
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you

Perfect Circle, A By And Down The River Comments
I have listened to this song so many times that even my cat knows all the words to it....
APC has helped me get through many times.. Put them on the 4-10inch subs, pump up the valume and chill out.
Music is life.!.!.!..!!!
Just great!!!! ....the whole album
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnice .
Since the day they launched it
Love it at 1.2 Speed
it sounds almost autotuned
This album is a Master piece.
Saw these guys in Nashville after the album release with only one wish... That they'd play this song. So bummed they didn't, but still an epic show!
Oh hi, I buried my heart here for safekeeping.
This song is funny pretty much
But in like a relatable kind of way
This song hits my soul on so many levels.
The first version is better.
Full 🎧 = ♥
I have and always will love APC.. the music just gets better every CD .. 5 stars 😃
the sound is clearer on this version, guitar sound is closer to mer de noms.
For sure. Sped up a bit too. 👌
How do you picture anyone anyways?
I'm not sure they'll put any of this together...
Perfect
🍏💚✌️
I always thought he was saying "searching your ass"
Love both versions but prefer this one so much more 🤘😝
One of my favorite songs from this album!
when i first heard this track it was on stone and echo which sounded like a much better version then this one.
🔥 🔥 🔥
I strongly prefer apc to tool ....there I said it .
no ones going to search my ass for humility.
The version they released on Stone And Echo was WAAAAAY better
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
MJK
i taught he was saying ass
True talent...screw your auto tuned garbage! This genius needs none of that. He has mastered his vocals. So happy to have been listening to him since Opiate came out.
Can anyone explain the visual? Am I correct in thinking along the lines of octopus evolution versus our own?
While it does resemble an octopus I see it as a heart.
Definitely there worse album besides there 60s 70s covers
My favorite song on the album because it has that similar flavor I loved that characterized all of Thirteenth Step.
I got sober from heroin listening to 13th step.
Fuck that, they gave life <3
The album could've been good but Maynard's voice is just way too auto-tuned in this album.
Does anyone else get that You Lied by Tool on this song?!
His voice goes through my soul
Temazoo muy buen tema 😊
me gustaba mas con el redoblante en el tiempo 1
My love for rock died a long time ago but maynard and apc has reignited my love for it and i cant thank them enough
Very thin, lacking the hook, repetitive lyrics...if this wasnt APC this album would have gone no where. One to Two Ok songs at best.
I’m going to the concer soon
One of my favorites on tHis new Albumn definatly
Eat The Elephant is the best APC album so far!
adamlar yapıyor ya, çok iyi
I loved her so much so fucking much I miss you like there is no tomarrow and I know I'll never see or hear you voice again the rot from inside that's the things that never recover
Thank you for this MASTERPIECE. It speaks right into my soul.
I love this version! It’s more personal I feel. More intimate with his voice🔥
Only song worth a shit on this turd of an album
I just got this album on vinyl and it's absolutely beautiful.
Siccc!!!!!
Best song \||/
Such an Amazing Band Maynard is the G.O.A.T. Hands down best artist on this earth no matter who he makes music with it is always a pleasure to hear it Tool and Pucifer are just as amazing Maynard is just the best
To all the people complaining about this new version of the song......if you like the old version better then there's a simple solution for you......go listen to that version instead you dumb fuckers!!! lol
searching your eyes out for a hint or a trace stop?
yes.its good. yes.
Эту музыку я могу слушать вечность, жаль только что вечности мне отведено, наверное, не так много, как хотелось бы.
We fuck. N love you Keenan apc.
Took.pucifer ..your merkin blood red vampire is great.
i need this right now
This version is way better than the older one
\m/ Maynard James Keenan \m/
Love everything maynard and apc tool:))
amazing track
really disappointed in this new verson but the rest of the album was perfect for me
every time without a single exception this song blows me away and gives me chills.
This album got me through some rather dark moments, thank you APC!
I swear Maynard is my soulmate😍😍
2:11 Orestes: "I dont wanna feel this overwhelming HOSTILITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
This sounds amazing
Maynard sounds like he recorded this with a flue, LMAO
One of the worst albums I have ever heard...
This version lacks any and all emotion. Like 2 robots having sex.
Do i have to pick my nose with my middle finger for the to understand you're just another disrespectful-
#NoPictures #NoComments
Can you please put the old version back on Spotify? 😭
I love this song 😈👏
HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's no easy mission holding onto how I picture you...
Stone and Echo. All day.
Possibly my favorite song ever. Perfection.
This track is in desperate need of remastering.
The remake sounds great, but I do like the demo version better. I like the vocal overdubs in this version better, but I like the drums in the demo much better.
Hermoso!
I am the Elephant.
Chilling song. Love it
for sure, 85,000 of those views are mine. i love this song. moving. epic. phenomenal.
Isnt this a puscifer song?
I feel like the previous version was a much stronger, more powerful and pathos-filled performance.
Kinda sounds like when they played it live at Red Rocks. Again the intro 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Love how you can hear Maynard much more in this one. His voice will forever be my favorite. "It's no easy mission holding on to how I picture you" that part in the beginning is just wow. 🖤
Toxic love :(
Best concert EVER Detroit, MI 11-9-18 we wanted to go again the next day! Absolutely LOVE the new album I listen to it over and over it is so true with what is going on in the world!
The Noose..
i love this album but the cover photo sucks
Nice song!
Well why the didnt they play this in concert
TONIGHT!
At first few times of listening the song i was hearing "searching your ass for a hint or a trace of humility"
love a perfect circle!
While listening to Eat the Elephant, Youtube makes sure you get plenty of Soy boys in beteen every song to counter the Alphas. Every commercial consists of week low T NPCs.
Ten second into the vocal performance..... Speechless...
