This song is about Alcoholic Anonymous... If you din't notice the name of the album is "Thirteenth Step" There are 12 steps in AA. He is talking about how sometimes in AA people are on a "pink cloud" the pink cloud represents how people are overly confident in early recovery and get cocky. They think they are angelic and a totally different person that when they were using, hence the halo... One of the steps in AA is to make amends to people you have harmed in your addiction. Maynard is saying that the feeling one gets of perfection in their recovery can be their biggest downfall. Their halo will be their end. How do you make amends to someone you've killed in your addiction? You can't so you're not as perfect as you think.
Why are you so ignorant?
A Perfect Circle's members believe that Lucifer is a real savior and they always criticize Christianity, The bible and Jesus. Their 'Thirteen Step' is not about alcohol or drugs. These Thirteen Steps about purify the religion addiction. They hope that with their 12 songs we can reject the religion.
Sometimes a cigar just a cigar. They are not metaphors.

@lanntay Hi there. I think that Your interpretation is very possible. if You excuse, I would like to share my own interpretation. I think that there is possibility to take this record title as masonic (illuminati and other stuff like that) 13'th step. There are 13 casts in masonic. Like on one dollar bill the pyramid has 12 layers and the last 13 is above other and symbolize Lucifer. The Noose is, only in my own opinion, about Jesus Christ's second come. Let me explain.

So glade to see You well - Jesus died on cross and now he(Maynard) can see him Well
With heavens help you cast your demons out - after deth Jesus was 3 days somhere - maybe in hell and now he cast demons out with heaven help.
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...

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.
@lanntay this made me finally join this site so I could leave a comment. This is so true, I burst in to tears when I read this. I have old friends who have done the program, some with great success, some dead. I quit on my own several times, I always though AA or NA was trading in one addiction for another. Hope you see this since this was from 2012.

The lyrical has regret for Jesus and hate Him.
