MAP – Epic Of The Dead (1 of 4) Lyrics 14 years ago
With all things change will come, if we do not change we die. That is the natural order of the earth, everything changes, or it dies. We need to rethink how we teach, learn, and even think. We have been plowing ahead based on blind assuming, not thinking for ourselves; just repeating the same words as our forbearers, in hope that it makes us as wise as them. These words now have lost meaning, definition, and use. We are in a new world with new problems and new solutions are in need. Alas, we cannot step up and provide these because we are stuck in old ways of thinking and learning.

A Perfect Circle – Brena Lyrics 14 years ago
yes it is about his wife,
but it could also be about the duality we all face in our shadows(jung)
he also hints at this in a t001 (push it) "what are you( also what is this ) but my reflection, who am i to judge or strike you down.... there's no love in this"
this to me is the polar of that song, just as a ying to the yang we all should find the balance in our selves of our duality.
also it deals with education, to learn (open ones mind) you have to "...and learn how to put your self in a state of vulnerable open mindedness chaotic confused vulnerability to inform your self.." t001 third eye (salival) and the bliss one gets from there education. you come full circle to repeat this process over and over, and to me is quite euphoric. but it is bereavement as well. because, the more you know the more you are responsible for, knowledge is power and like any power when misused it turns on the one whom wields it, even whole civilizations.
but this song could be for any one in a loving relationship/friendship. and is a wonderful song that fills me hope in finding love that strong.

A Perfect Circle – 3 Libras Lyrics 14 years ago
this song ( for me ) is the test i give women to see if they are right for me. if i am attracted to them i slowly test there knowledge an intellect. most fail, but one day i hope to find one that does not. but i will not have a relationship with some one that cant understand what im talking about. and because of my education in metaphysics, astrophysics, history, chem., nuc. chem, it is hard. to put and easy example for most people to understand.
"that guy would even fallow oedipus rex until he is blind as well"

meaning he will jump on any thing that has an opening and lets him in.

it may be mean but i know you all have seen this type of person, man and woman.

A Perfect Circle – Orestes Lyrics 14 years ago
(to me)
this is about going insane. when you first start to realize your perceptions are unlike others, and you are completely different from the "norm" of the civilization your living in, you start cutting your ties (aka life line). then because the trend for "shrinks" to prescribe strong perception altering medications, when you go to get help your only getting drugs. this only gives you small amounts of time of peaceful ( altered perceptions) moments. by the end you have cut all your social ties and become socially dead ( cutting the cord to keep you from dragging people with you ). so this becomes and obsession while you have enough to realize that your not really crazy or insane, its just your perceptions are different. in America and other "westernized" civilizations if you do not look act perform even think like the other members of your civilization, you are deemed (by people with out the proper schooling to make these judgments of value) as mentally ill, or crazy. then it is a downward spiral of social segregation. they perceive the victim as a monster, and so to the other this person is capable of anything. in short the mythos of the victim shadows the fact.

(personal)
i have a avg 150ish ( depending on the test ) I.Q. i have fun calculating moles and time differentials (T=To/(sqrt 1- (v^2/c^2)) i don't watch tv i read books and journals from the web. when i got out of high school i was forced by my family to go to the "funny farm." for saying things like time is not an non-spatial continuum (exc. min sec days) time is an location. my family thought i was insane when i was just talking about physics. only problem when i tried to explain it to them they could not understand, so it was me i was crazy to them. for years i was striped of my rights by the courts and heavily medicated. never once was i violent, but because they perceived me as a threat i was.
finally i was released and allowed to continue my life. but damage done. now i go to college so i can get my phd in physics and nuc. chem.. but i don't socialize because no one understands what im talking about except for my Dr. in my field of study. now i see it all starting again. they are now forcing me to take a lot of psyc. these teachers are giving me the same test that was given to me before i was striped of my rights.
so i cut all my ties with friends and love ones simply to not drag them though this process. some times people project on to you what they fear the most.
that is how i got this meaning from this song.
because this process is social murder,
and being the victim of it makes you very angry,
but you cant show it or they use it to label you,
and the only peace you will find is when they medicate you and lock you up,

"...keeping me from killing you, and dragging you down with me, i can almost hear you scream..."
"... give me one more medicated peaceful moment..."

and all psychiatry is...
is philosophy with pills..
maybe one day they will get there heads out of there collective (beeps).
but until then head thumpers for the most part just project there own problems on to the victim.

hate on this if you want i don't care
because at the end of the day
its all about how you relate to it and feel about it
that dictates weather or not you like or dislike it.
that is if you think for your self. but alas most people don't......
