Perfect Circle, A - The Noose Lyrics






So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
With heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down [repeated]

Your halo slipping down to choke you now

Perfect Circle, A The Noose Comments
  1. J.... L....

    Step eight. Made a list but people we had wronged and became willing to make amends to them all. So the song is from the perspective of the person being made amends to. As if saying " aw you're all better now that you are in AA. You're a saint. What about the people that died, how are you going to amend that." I always like this song but I never understood it until I was in the position that it was talking about.

  2. b.... a....

    Huh... i thought this was a political/war song. Something about ordering people into battle... like dick chainey or something haha

  3. R.... ....

    This needed a newer comment, so here it is.

    R.... ....

    Thank you

  4. T.... T....

    When do I get my amends, dear?

    Don't tell me to step over the dead bodies.

    I am the dead bodies.

  5. J.... S....

    Higher planes of existence are real
    There are other dimensions
    There is nothing in outer space

  6. A.... K....

    Still one of my favorite songs

  7. S.... ....

    This song is filled with so much emotion that you can easily feel it...😔

  8. s.... ....

    ass quality

  9. C.... C....

    The Noose and Magdalena

  10. D.... B....

    D.... B....

    D.... B....

    Whatever you do, just know, there may ultimately be no consequences, and it's all meaningless

  11. m.... s....

    This song still gets me through tuff times thank you MJK

  12. L.... T....

    O Laço
    Tão contente por ver você bem
    Ultrapassado e completamente silencioso, agora
    Com a ajuda dos céus você expulsa seus demônios

    E não para puxar sua auréola para baixo,
    Ao redor do seu pescoço, e arrancá-lo de sua nuvem
    Mas estou mais que apenas um pouco curioso
    Como você está planejando proceder para fazer suas reconciliações
    Aos mortos
    Aos mortos

    Relembre dos feitos como se fossem
    As histórias atrozes de um outro alguém
    Agora, você jaz renascido perante todos nós
    Tão contente por ver você bem

    E não para puxar sua auréola para baixo,
    Ao redor do seu pescoço, e arrancá-lo de sua nuvem
    Mas estou mais que apenas um pouco curioso
    Como você está planejando proceder para fazer suas reconciliações
    Aos mortos
    Aos mortos

    Com sua auréola escorregando para baixo
    Sua auréola escorregando
    Sua auréola escorregando para baixo
    Sua auréola escorregando para baixo

    Mas estou mais que apenas um pouco curioso
    Como você está planejando proceder para fazer suas
    Mais que apenas um pouco curioso
    Como você está planejando proceder para fazer suas
    Mais que apenas um pouco curioso
    Como você está planejando proceder para fazer suas reconciliações

    Sua auréola escorregando para baixo
    Sua auréola escorregando para baixo
    Para te estrangular agora

  13. R.... ....

    Basically, its for the Joel Olesteins of support groups.

  14. T.... ....

    damn the quality on this one sucks a bit, lot of sibilance on the heavy parts

  15. W.... E....

    *Just a random nine year old that typed in how to make a perfect circle.*

    W.... E....

    You have come to the right place. lol.

  16. D.... C....

    This song is a song that reminds me of my brother. He passed in Oct 24th, 2018. He found out he had cancer and within a month he was gone. This song was one of his favorite songs. We used to listen to this before he got sick. He would tell me what these lyrics meant to him, and how he applied it to his life. He loved APC and Tool. This will forever be his song. RIP Brother. 7-16-72 / 10-24-18

  17. G.... B....

    Just brilliant. Words fail

  18. L.... J....

    I would love to remake this song as well as others in the same catogorie. So tomorrow I would love to start playing the 🎸 with....

  19. M.... C....

    Best song in their discography

  20. S.... B....

    This song is how I feel about people who have wronged me

  21. M.... C....

    I would, when I was 14, always listen to this album at night, waiting for my friends to come knock on my window. I can't quite explain how good it felt, to see their faces at my bedroom window, and to have these songs in my headphones. I will always remember looking up when they knocked and their smiles. I was in a foster home for being seriously abused- locked in a cage and beaten like an animal by my psychopathic father. I don't know how I survived the years there. But all my fear and pain were gone the moment I saw my first friends through a window, that I was about to climb out of. Good god you guys. I can't believe I am still alive. I joined the military to escape foster care and group homes. I decided to kill myself while in Afganistan. I had been given an Ipod with lots of Tool on it and I decided I loved music so much I would listen to Lateralus before I killed myself in the humvee. Then "We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion" came through the headphones and into my mind for the first time. I never spoke of this before emailing Danny Carry about it - letting him know that Tool literally kept me alive in the most horrible place I have ever been. He put out an article recently along those lines and I think it was due to my email. Anyway, just keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going. Let go. Keep going.

    M.... C....

    That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. And I am so happy you did not take your life. Thank you for serving my country. Peace.

  22. D.... L....

    Am I the only one who sees a perfeet circele in the album art instead of a perfect circle? Lol

    Lyrics

    So glad to see you well
    Overcome them, 
    Completely silent now
    With Heaven's help
    You've cast your demons out

    And not to pull 
    Your halo down
    Around your neck and 
    Tug you off your cloud
    But 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends
    To the dead
    To the dead

    Recall the deeds 
    As if they're all
    Someone else's 
    Atrocious stories
    Now 
    You stand reborn
    Before us all
    So 
    Glad to see you well

    And not to pull 
    Your halo down
    Around your neck and 
    Tug you to the ground
    But 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends
    To the dead
    To the dead

    With your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down

    (With your halo slipping down)
    And 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends

    (With your halo slipping down)
    And 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends

    (With your halo slipping down)
    And 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends

    (With your halo slipping down)
    And 
    I'm more than just 
    A little curious
    How you're planning to go 
    About making your amends

    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down
    To choke you now

  24. J.... M....

    hey all ya'll annoying 12 steppers...read the name of the fucking album, and no it's not about screwing the freshmen, newbies, the 13 th step to the door..just walk thru that door. Maynard sure did! Let's play whose it. Who is it?

  25. E.... P....

    Beyonce Knowles loves this song😀

  26. S.... O....

    This song is about someone under the influence and has taken a life or lives. Asking their God for forgiveness. And thinking they're forgiven.

    S.... O....

    Yes it is.

  27. D.... B....

    This song was written after the young man got hanged in Ronin 47. Hence thats why he called it "the noose." They hanged a man for no reason at all.

    D.... B....

    Dull Boy please explain what your intentions were in the beginning of this conversation.

    D.... B....

    @Shadow On the Sun They will try to make amends but God won't enable their fitment because they killed a kid who had 3 scars on his head from the movie which was Keanu Reeves true living brother

    D.... B....

    Dull Boy WTF are you talking about!!??
    Please educate yourself!!! APC does not make music based on a movie!!
    What is wrong with you!!??

    D.... B....

    Dull Boy I'm guessing you're a child

    D.... B....

    Dull Boy do some research... You will learn something kiddo.

  28. J.... D....

    Maynard's work is the closest you can get to Pink Floyd / Led Zeppelin in 2019.

  29. d.... s....

    Thso song is underrated

    d.... s....

    Yes,, and it's gonna stay that way!!! Kids,,, assuming Kids when they get into music is so different now!! They hear shit from social media instead of just using APC as an example !!! They only think what's popular is music!!! Sooo DUMB and sheltered!!! 😔🤦‍♂️

  30. C.... N....

    How can one make amends for things that are unforgivable can’t 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🖤🖤🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤😎😎⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

  31. M.... A....

    I'm a little late to the APC and Tool band wagon. I like to think that I wasn't musically mature for truly great music, but however, due to unfortunate ear/hearing issues and degrading quality of hearing (due to middle ear infections which permanently damaged my hearing) when I listen to these bands, so does everyone else! So in a way, I'm helping to spread these great tunes from these great artists!

  32. K.... B....

    Sure lol and this phone was already for sale...lmao.

  33. K.... B....

    Halo was a cool game in the 80's in Japan

  34. B.... J....

    The noose slowing try’s to tighten. It’s a fight we’re up for.

  35. J.... P....

    Been a tool fan for over ten years. Never gave apc the chance it deserved till today. This song evokes some serious emotions for me. Absolutely brilliant.

  36. D.... B....

    This is some of Scott Grossman's best lyricism

  37. b.... ....

    Seen them live 4 times Maynard stop hiding in the back

    b.... ....

    He doesn't want to be the spotlight the message is larger than the man and what a message he has always delivered

    b.... ....

    You clearly don’t know history because he used to be pale bald and in the front

  38. S.... ....

    Heute morgen zum ersten Mal gehört. Wie konnte sich so ein dermaßen mächtig geiler Song so lange vor mir verstecken? Seit 15 Stunden auf Dauerschleife und ich bin immer noch nicht satt. "Your haaaaaaalooo..."

  39. S.... K....

    2019 anyone?

    S.... K....

    Signs of times \m/_

    S.... K....

    Yes indeed

    S.... K....

    Such fond memories <3

    S.... K....

    Not to pull your halo down

    S.... K....

    2020 dude

  40. D.... S....

    Your own reality to your life's experiences can only bring you to the light not losing how you were raised your foundation some don't get that chance I thinks it's more product of what your raised and surrounded by... Leave that greed jealousy and revengeful shit at the Cross roads stuck and love each other give a hand up where a hand up can be given... Better options for a better choice ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜♥️💗💖💓💞💕❣️💟💯🤟👍

  41. D.... D....

    -so glad to see you well

  42. A.... G....

    I was listening this song when I walk to school 8 years ago every morning. I remember that I was feel deppressed that times . then today obviously oppressed day for me. I feel like I'm back to where I started. it's been years, and every time I feel this feeling, I find myself listening to this song

  43. b.... ....

    I'm slipping away. . .
    I need to find my center again.

  44. B.... B....

    Everyday is the same. Faces of the blind fade. I am nothing and I am everything.

  45. N.... o....

    this song would've been great for john wick's movie soundtrack or for the silent hill series hehe

  46. Y.... d....

    Powerful song

  47. n.... ....

    Is it just me or is this a fuzzy quality copy?

  48. o.... ....

    "But im more than just a little curious, how youre planning to go about making your amends? To the dead." Such a powerful statement. It speaks about regret, and not spending more time with the ones you love. One day they will be gone, and your apologies for being absent will fall on deaf ears. When that day comes, your self anointed higher priorities will strangle you. So make things right now, before its too late.

  49. R.... P....

    Ive overcame the curious I've overcame the demons I've overcame my addiction. Then I let my halo slip down and it's choking me now.

    R.... P....

    Just get back up,dust yourself off and get back in the game

  50. D.... H....

    Imagine if Fit For An Autopsy covered this song.

  51. N.... O....

    Hmm what a circle of pain we have created
    Doomed bloodlines

  52. J.... G....

    Your Halo’s slipping down to choke you now

  53. A.... K....

    favourite song from the album 😍

  54. F.... ....

    2.4k people have zero taste in music.

  55. J.... ....

    Any one else feel like Hollywood stole the guitar and effects from 3:34 and added them to action movies and intense scenes?

  56. R.... R....

    The false divine feminine ... or the psycho feminine goddess face of the ai god consciousness

  57. J.... P....

    SOUNDS HORRIBLE

  58. J.... ....

    beautiful

  59. D.... F....

    My ex is fucking crazy depressed. He sent me this song a while back.. 😔😔😔 fucking hate him.

    D.... F....

    this cures and causes depression at the same time.

  60. A.... B....

    Cows are roaming the earth.

  61. P.... R....

    What do the song lyrics deeply mean? Are they about drug relapse and taking responsibility for our actions? “The dead”, is that the one who is drug relapse ?

    P.... R....

    they new noose before it happened, ie they knew noose

  62. J.... C....

    Semjntool

  63. J.... R....

    This was uploaded from 2007. Great times

  64. L.... A....

    I listened to this song non stop last October when I was contemplating killing myself. I was badly addicted to morphine. I'm off it now but I'm fighting the cravings every single damn day.
    APC pulls me through this hell though. I'm hoping I can keep this up.

    L.... A....

    Hope is for the lost, hate is for the damned. Be better tomorrow than you were today and you will triumph.

  65. B.... ....

    This song makes my heart ache every time I listen to it.

  66. L.... ....

    A perfect song

  67. J.... S....

    This song is God's creation

  68. A.... T....

    This is my favorite song.

  69. R.... ....

    Why are my eyes watering and why am I sniffling?

  70. B.... B....

    This is my 2nd favorite band in the entire world. Noose is in the top 3 for me, of all time. Totally incredible song.

  71. W.... S....

    APC is just brilliant.

  72. M.... M....

    I was 13 when this Album released. Too young for a drug addiction. However, this album is pure perfection. listening to it sends me right back to readon Chobits and Fruits Basket Manga in borders books with my walkman at full volume.

  73. K.... S....

    I feel like this song was written for me. To explain how i feel about my dad. You kill my mom serve your time then what? Now you stand reborn before us all..

  74. M.... F....

    This may very well be my favorite song ever.

  75. c.... t....

    You can’t just listen to one apc song, you binge listen to apc till you get that perfect circle

  76. U.... W....

    Discovering the source of the pain, and severing it - how difficult it is to not reconnect it and let it fuel your life again.

    The emptiness.

  77. J.... ....

    Every time I listen to an APC or Tool song it goes to the heart of me. Everything about it is so cohesive and coherent. Every instrument, every lyric, every inflection.
    That said, the quality of this video is crap.

  78. M.... ....

    When is this song not relevant?

  79. R.... R....

    This tales me back.
    How the years fly.

  80. E.... ....

    Epic!
    Btw... The Hollow(A Perfect Circle tribute) is playing on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at The Universal Bar and Grill in North Hollywood with tributes to King Crimson and The Smashing Pumpkins!!!

    E.... ....

    Wish i were closer.. Amazing lineup!!

  81. t.... i....

    Encouragement is important and none of us are worthy of casting the first stone....

  82. K.... ....

    Thought this song was about suicide at first

  83. B.... ....

    just kicking the right point in my head :D

  84. E.... S....

    Maynard is an immortal singer.

  85. w.... s....

    You won't find this quality of music anymore today.. A Perfect Circle and Tool they just go deep inside; they tell a story that sometimes it gives you strength and sometimes it makes you feel melancholy but you like it because its a beautiful art with such a powerful voice. Happy tears 😢. I don't know does anybody else feel Goosebumps when they here Perfect Circle songs?

  86. I.... ....

    this is legit my first time ever listening to this song. i've honestly never listened to other stuff outside of "counting bodies" and i'm ashamed of myself for that. but wow, this is incredible.

  87. M.... M....

    Pricks that go after addicts...ever thought of punching up?

  88. k.... ....

    The bass at 3:04 is really sweet

  89. B.... T....

    This whole CD is amazing. It's honestly getting me through some serious withdrawals and dark times. Every time I feel a moment of weakness I throw on the headphones and draw inspiration from a place I never thought possible. This CD is saving my life.

  90. O.... P....

    J'adore.

  91. S.... R....

    Why does this remind me of a girl who let my friend od and didn't call for help?? Bc maybe she's clean now? Idk it's so sad. #imissudavieboy

  92. R.... M....

    My soul dances to this song.

  93. A.... K....

    I saw this guy and chris Cornell at lalapollza!

  94. J.... R....

    ...such a SHAME

  95. S.... C....

    Pull me down where Will I go.

  96. c.... ....

    whenever I go through bouts of severe depression (more frequently than I’d like to admit) this band is the one I immediately go to. APC’s music has saved me from a lot of very bad nights and kept me from some very bad decisions. Couldn’t be more thankful for this band.

  97. S.... B....

    This CD gives me chills. so much better than boring ass tool

  98. B.... V....

    Meaningful song.
