Guys, Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums is a sort of continuation to this song. Pet and the other song aren't even on the same album, stop freaking out and just appreciate this awesome song. It's my favorite from Thirteenth Step :)
It's a lullaby from the voice of government to the slumbering, apathetic, and unquestioning masses. The nanny-state is the answer to all tribulation, and all you have to do is be an unexamined individual in isolation under the vast power of the state.
They'll protect us from enemies, demons, will to survive on our own, reason, choices, and ultimately ourselves and community. We need to stay fearful and not question our imperialist masters that take us to war without consent etc.
no is not the water you drink and the air you breath, they are talking talking about, the ZEITGEIST,movement. move forward look on youtube and type, ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT> must see documentary. it will change your way of thinking
Seems like an anti-religion song, while also an anti-war song with a hint of political brainwashing. Either way, brainwashing is the common motif in this song. You can use it for both simultaneously, as war and religion go together very nicely. Love this fucking song.
@MrAnthem123 This is the original version of the song. Counting Bodies Like Sheep was put out a year later in an entirely different album. I CAN NEVER DECIDE WHICH ONE I LIKE BETTER! They're both amazing!
God I love this song. It's so comforting and lovely. The lyrics are beyond awesome. A Perfect Circle will always have a place in music history for me.
The poison devils are in the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat. You are exposed to an average of 75,000 synthetic chemicals every day.
The bogeyman is here, he's been here some time... forget it, go back to sleep.
@SoCxXerXceS You would have to ask Maynard. Like any art, its open to interpretation - and that's my interpretation. But you can also feel the desire of the parent to protect their child from this fucked-up world. What can I tell you? Go back to sleep.
The Machine is enslaving us, but we do not know it because we are sleepwalking, in perpetual temporary comfort. temporary because we cannot keep going the way we are going, we need to wake up, fast.
We are the sheep, we are the numbers, we are the bodies being counted to the rhythm of the war drum - the heart of this machine which we are beating in darkness. or at least halogen/fluorescent lighting.
This song reminds me that even when I feel like no one else in this world loves me, my mom or dad will always be their to tell me "No one else will ever love you more than I do"
xoutreligon, really? seriously? oh my...i have more for you to find...firs, the Wire. greatest show ever....then, if you like this find Tool...this man, the lead singer you hear, is the also the frontman for the greatest American rock band ever. And if anyone says Aerosmith or the Doors i will find you...Tool=greatest American band of all time
@MadelonVanBommel I've heard people say that Counting Bodies like Sheep is Pet and Lullaby together.....I have no Idea about that but they are different songs....
@MadelonVanBommel That's strange. Most of the people I talk to about the differences in the song lean towards the opinion that Counting Bodies Like Sheep is heavier.
@MadelonVanBommel Both versions are kickass to me. But then again, to me, Maynard James Keenan is a god without equal lol. I like this version more because its...idk. Kinda like you said, its got more melody. It flows better. Much love from County Clare. XD
@MadelonVanBommel Nothin wrong with that at all. I do it often when I go to concerts, although my hair isnt long. Oh my god....Babe, you gotta listen to em. Look up 46 & 2, Stinkfist, Eulogy, and some other stuff. Stinkfist in particular is a good headbanging song.
@MadelonVanBommel Some really good songs are 46 & 2, The Pot, Eulogy, Vicarious, Right in Two, Parabola, Lateralus, The Grudge, and Intolerance. Intolerance is a pretty good headbanging song. But, the lead singer, Maynard James Keenan, is also the lead singer of APC. He is a god >:D
This song is about how the goverment try to hide things with media and lies think about it he says save u from pain truth and choice as in u can't know the truth like 9/11 was terrorist no questions asked and choice he means like u can't say nothing we make ur choices now go on with your daily lives and don't listen (put ur head down and go to sleep)
Yea you could say it is about government, or religion or even about yourself but maynard has said that this song is about alcoholism, the whole album is thats why its called thirteenth step, like the twelve step program for alcoholics.
im not disagreeing but can you show me like how like put a quote i just want to know your theory but i never heard anything about maynard saying anything about the meaning of his songs so explain to me your side because i want to see every diffrent view of the songs.
yea man, if you look at wikipedia or at his biography somewhere he was an alcoholic for a while so thats where the album name comes from because of the twelve step program. And the thirteenth step is his life after recovery because most people relapse. You could also just wikipedia the song or the continuation of this song called counting bodies like sheep the rhythm of a war drum on wikipedia and there is a quote from him.
but heres the problem wikipedia can be edited by anyone i can go on wikipedia and say maynard went to jail when its not true people alot of times put there opinions and assumptions and we take it as facts so that can be why nothing in the lyrics have anything to do with alchohol

Ignorance is bliss is what Maynard's telling us.

We are the sheep, we are the numbers, we are the bodies being counted to the rhythm of the war drum - the heart of this machine which we are beating in darkness. or at least halogen/fluorescent lighting.
