| A Perfect Circle – 3 Libras Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| i think you are all wrong. i think the 3 libras are not women, so to speak. i think he means the father, son, and holy spirit, the divine trinity. he is angry because he tries to cry out to god and he never gets any help. however, agree that music is made to be interpreted by the listener........maybe i have faith issues. who knows. just my 2 cents. | |

no disrespect, but i beg to differ. the first to verses are sung by jerry because they are jerrys thoughts about lane. 'it hurts to care, i wont now.' and then layne sings about all he lost through his addiction and is begging god to take his life. as a former addict, i feel this song so much. this is only my perception but i think this is what its about. |

this is jerry cantrell telling layne what he sees, the direction his life is going. layne delivers an amazing vocal performance that is so heartfelt with all the emotions i can think of. "Forgot my woman, lost my friends Things I'd done and where I've been Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold See my face it's growin' old Scared to death no reason why Do whatever to get me by Think about the things I said Read the page it's cold and dead" the drugs cost him his woman and friends. he cant remember most of the stuff that he did to lose them. he sleeps in sweat from the detoxing from the heroin. the mirror is cold because he cant stand to see his own reflection. scared to death from the paranoia and helpless/hopelessness so he does whatever to get through it(the dope). when he remembers some of the stuff he did he cant believe the things he's done and lost. finally, he is screaming and pleading for God to take his life. unbelievable song. really sad, i feel everything he says because i too lost a lot due to my addiction. it can literally bring me to tears every time i hear it, because there was a day when i felt the exact same. |

you almost have it right IMO. layne formed this band soon after rehab and was very angry about the way his life was and how he felt he was sold out. that summer is about he and jerry cantrell making the music we all know and love. he remembers they were the same as he was. 'ohhhhhhh i remember', he's pissed. he felt abandoned and cheated by the way he felt he was exiled from the band over something they all used to do. thats all. great song though, i was there too. i know exactly how he feels and i really feel all of the songs. if you liked this one, you will absolutely love, alice in chains 'don't follow'. amazing track about laynes state of mind. he is begging god to take his life. the 2 verses that jerry sings are jerry lecturing layne, the music builds and then layne unleashes one of, if not the absolute best vocal performance of his life. chris |
