Tool – Maynard's Dick Lyrics 19 years ago
You know what I love? How some of you guys call Maynard by his birth name like you know him or something. Oh yeah, the best part-you call him James while schooling others on how they should stop pretending they know everything about Tool. Man, I love people.

The way the song is written implies that it is addressed to someone, not from someone. That rules out drugs and the government.

I think it's about maynards son. about how he wants to protect him from the horrors of the real world and preserve his innocence. Like all parents say.

A Perfect Circle – The Noose Lyrics 19 years ago
the message is simply " Don't get me wrong, I am glad that you are better, but you are acting like the past has just disappeared because you decided to close that chapter of your life and start a fresh new one. The past doesn't just go away because you want it to, you must face it or else it will catch up to you and bring you back down where you belong"

A Perfect Circle – Blue Lyrics 19 years ago
I didn't read all five pages of comments, but from what I did read, it seems as if everyone agrees on the whole watching someone die thing. I would have to disagree. I think it is much simpler than that, it is about a misunderstanding, and the writer of the song, I'll refer to him as 'bob', doesn't want to be dragged into it all. This explains "mistook their nods for an approval" and the next line, "just ignore the smoke and smile" means that even though you started a fire(created a problem) on accident(because you thought you had an 'approval') just smile and pretend like nothing happened. From there, everything else falls into place. 'Bob' didn't want to know about this 'fire' that was started because he didn't want to be a part of it (ignore the smoke) bob didn't want to be dragged into the middle of that situation, and he refuses to take part in it (while I just sit and stare at you)
so yes, he is watching someone die, but not really. The death is symbolic for just screwing up, and being called on your mistake, with no way out.
