A Perfect Circle – The Noose Lyrics 7 years ago
Guys if you have watched the APC DVD emotive with commentary on Maynard tells you exactly what this song is about to him. However there is no right or wrong answer. Each song means something else to each individual.
Having said that though the overall theme of this album is about addiction (not just drugs or alcohol but sex, gambling or any other kind of addiction) and the 13 steps of recovery from that addiction. For example track 1 - The Package - is about acquiring the thing that you are addicted to let's say drugs as it's most commonly associated with addiction. Track 2 - Weak and Powerless - this is about taking the drug - opening lines are "tilling my own grave to keep me level, jam another dragon down the hole" this is about getting your fix. Track 3 - The Noose - I think what lanntay said about people entering recovery and being over confident to the point where they are ignoring and forgetting the misdeeds they have committed is correct, but not necessarily that it's about AA - I'm assuming that's something lanntay can identify with...
I think you get the idea of what I'm getting at now, this album is about addiction in all its forms from drugs to sex to gambling.
