the_noose cocoon So glad to see you well Overcome and completely silent now Without himself You cast your demons out And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about Making your amends to the dead To the dead Recall the deeds as if They're all someone else's Atrocious stories Now you stand reborn before us all So glad to see you well And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you to the ground But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about Making your amends to the dead To the dead With your halo slipping down Your halo slipping Your halo slipping down Your halo slipping down Your halo slipping down [repeated] Your halo slipping down to choke you now a_perfect_circle -i love the lyrics to this song so much. just the image i get in my head of an angel sitting on a cloud being cast back down to earth. amazing. and maynards voice. i have no words. 040124 ... june that's just great i knew i shouldn't come back 040125 ... birdmad i think it is more about taking a self righteous but otherwise guilty person off of their proverbial "high-horse" wanting to take someone off their cloud and wondering how they will make their amends to the dead Even though that may not have been the original intent of the song, but in these days i can't help but think of the political implications of these lyrics 040203 ... unhinged maybe you shouldn't have put me up on that cloud baby cause i tried but i'm only human in the end and the halo you gave me slowly turns into a noose pulling me back down the happiness you gave me slowly turns into a noose pulling me back down and i came back to town and realized that you all were dead and i didn't know how to reach you anymore different number different whore and i felt guilty for what i can't understand anymore and the tears tumbled out and you looked over without a word for the drunks in the back seat and we went the same way i always went with him down mahoning past the cemetery and the tears tumbled out what have i done up on my cloud disconnected from reality without my permanent shroud i forgot you how to understand baby you really shouldn't have put me up on that cloud that halo you gave me slowly turns into a noose pulling me back down cause my mutual disease a constant frown wasn't cured by the goddamn clouds that happiness you gave me slowly turns into a noose pulling me back down and when i fell back to earth i forgot how cold it was i forgot how cheap the drugs were i forgot how the tears freeze on my face in the winter baby i forgot you up there on my cloud and now i'm so goddamn guilty that my wings broke into disrepair all the happiness you gave me slowly turns into a noose pulling me back down don't let me forget misery understands pain understands misery don't let me forget that i will always be sickly hanging in my own noose 040203 ... celestias shadow That APC song is one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard. *melts* 040213 what's it to you? who go blather from
