Title: A Perfect Circle
Post by: ober on April 29, 2005, 08:23:23 AM

Latest album... kicks ass.  Totally anti-war in message for 95% of the songs, but some of them could be used against your worst enemy.  The song "Passive" gets me so fired up and gives me chills almost everytime I hear it.  It's fucking great.  I wish I had someone that just broke up with me or someone that was challenging me right now, because I'd send them a copy of this fucking song.  It's so great.

Quote

Dead as dead can be
The doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(‘Cause maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I’ll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe your better off this way

Maybe your better off this way (x3)
Your better off this (x2)
Maybe your better off...

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(‘Cause maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I’ll walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe your better off this WAY!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(YEAH!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit...

9.5/10  :thumbsup:

I love Maynard, but he should be shot for covering Imagine.  He fucked that song up something terrible.

I tried to post this earlier but got a DB error.  I actually bought the CD partially because of that cover.  I thought he did a better job than other artists I've heard try to cover it (Live comes to mind).

why? the song is about someone who is NOT assertively challenging.

Not necessarily challenging me out right... I guess I wish I had a girlfriend that just dumped me over IM or some shit like that.
