Thank you for making me
Feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

You were way out of line,
Went and turned it all around on me again
How can I not smell your lie,
Through the smoke and arrogance.

But now I know
So you will not get away with it again
I'm distant in those hollow eyes
For I have reached my end.

So...

Thank you for making me
Feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

Before I go tell me
Were you ever who you claimed yourself to be?

Either way i must say goodbye.
You're dead to me.

So I...

Thank you for making me
Feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

I'm severing the heart then I'm leaving your corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be, though.
I won't be the one who killed you
I'll just leave that up to you

I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm gonna be the one to say...

I told you so (X8)
I told you

Severing the heart then I'm leaving you corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be and
I'm gonna be the one to say I told you so.

    General Comment:It is about your average, run of the mill, sociopath. There's quite a few out there, emotional vampires, leeches. This isn't the only song I've heard from him that addresses this. Sorry he had to deal with it, but it's all what you do with it, and damn it makes for good music.

    General Comment:well...first of all...this makes me think of sex. lol
    but on the other hand it seems to be about a hard relationship.
    "Thank you for making me
    Feel like I'm guilty
    Making it easy to murder your sweet memory"
    the lover is making him feel guilty, possible about something he shouldnt feel guilty about, which makes it "easy to murder [her] sweet memory"
    and this person would turn the blame onto the speaker and act arrogant about it

    General Comment:Honestly I think of "Saw" when I hear this song.
    "I'm severing the heart then I'm leaving your corpse behind
    Not dead but soon to be, though.
    I won't be the one who killed you
    I'll just leave that up to you"
    but of course it's just an associative interpretation.

    General Comment:It's a song about the way the world is now.
    He's saying goodbye to these things, these addictions. He's realized the path of self-destruction the human race is taking right now. It's, essentially, a declaration of his own freedom from material things. This path of materialism and "Bottom line-ness" is the smoke and arrogance. He's calling these human-made ideas lies, which they are. Money is something attached to material goods- It's putting a dollar amount on things that should be free. People and the establishment make you feel guilty for not contributing. The path of one whom realizes and see through the bullshit is a lonely one.

    The guilt he felt only made it easier for him to tear away the way the things he used to love.
    Fact of the matter is that the human race is heading down a path of self-destruction and he doesn't feel bad about that. He knows that he's made his choice and he's sticking to it. Once everything is gone and restarted, he'll simply be the one to say "I told you so. You done fucked yourself over."

    Or it could be about some mean bitch.
    Either way.

    General Comment:Yes... not every single Maynard song is about religion.
    Having someone who has been doing wrong against you, then finally realizing the truth. They are the ones who where wrong. Therfore making it ...
    easy to murder your sweet memory.

    This song is very easy to understand..
    Some just like to make more things more complicated than they really are.

    General Comment:Jesus was stabbed in the side with a spear to make sure he was dead...
    so most likely "Severing the heart then I'm leaving you corpse behind"
    is not about him
    And Puscifer is making a whole CD.
    And I wonder if APC will ever get back together...
    I do love Puscifer...
    I love tool...
    All A Perfect Circle is now... Is a sad memory...
    I only wish I knew which I liked best.
