| A Perfect Circle – By and Down Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| @[monsterosity:40920] I agree with everything you have stated about this song. I believe this is about L.Ron Hubbard. If you know Maynard\'s history with Hubbard, then you know that Maynard felt betrayed by what Hubbard ended up being. Hubbard is the Pied Piper, luring in people that need something to believe in, with his empty elocution. Maynard was drawn into this propaganda because of what happen with his mother. He felt he had found someone he could believe in and look up to, who felt the same way he did. The image he had built up in his head, of who this person was to him, is why it\'s not easy to hold on to that image of them. Because he now knows the truth about this person. He idolized Hubbard and was let down and disappointed by him. The song Eulogy off the Aenima album goes into more of his feelings on Hubbard. So it\'s very easy to put Hubbard as the lead influance to this song. | |
