just saw em in san diego two days ago. Vocals were awesome. I'm a huge perfect circle fan AND tool fan. in concert, it's gotta be Tool. Harmony and singing while driving down the freeway,.... it's all Perfect Circle.
Beautiful! Your video is amazing! I felt like I was at the concert again! The BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER SEEN! Maynard James Keenan is unbelievable. Thanks

Honestly you have to self interpret any song James has ever made. Who gives a fuck what other people have to say about it. This song touches me on another level. :)
who cares what this song is about. if the song was sang in Spanish or some kind of alien language in general it would make more sense to be honest. The words are irrelevant. Let it speak for itself.
@forgotthewords Lyrics are a part of music and can be an art form. I don't see the "honesty" behind a song making "more sense" if it were sung in a language that isn't your native language. What I do see is that your logic may be that people should just listen to it and enjoy it. Music is subjective and can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways, not just the ways you may enjoy it.
@jdesfos87 Well I'm a songwriter and i actually quit a band because my lyrics weren't weighted as much as their musical attributes. I agree with "Lyrics are a part of music and can be an art form." But i listen to Pitty and I can't understand portuguese at all, but i LOVE that band. It might heighten my affection for the song if i knew what she was saying but either way they still transcend language. It's more of the air of the vocals and the emotion behind it is what i meant i guess. :)
dear god if i hear one more person say that the whole album is about drug addiction i'm gonna disassociate from apc fans. 4Degrees by tool is more than anal sex, Stinkfist is more than fisting, and The Package is more than needing the next dose.
It's about the depths that you will go to seek what you crave. How much of yourself will you let go of for this substance. It's written by only someone who truly knows what addiction is. "Comfort is a mystery, crawling out of my own skin." Can't live with myself without the influence and I'll do whatever it takes to change that. Lie, cheat, and steal. Beautiful song.
@GuitaristAidan yeah, he's prefers not being the center of attention. he has said he has a hard time replicating the emotion with lights in his face. from watching him perform, you can tell it's an emotional journey for him, and he prefers that space. i'm not a maynard worshipper or anything, i just get the impression he is very true to himself, and that deserves utmost respect. cheers!
this has to be one of the best live per...wait it's BETTER than the album version...something to do with the way that he presents his voice...more harmonic, and less destructive (until about 4:08 into the song...) great live recording of the song...
I think this song is about a guy trying to get hooked up at a shady dealers place. The album is almost chronological. This is the first song when he's still trying to get his fixes.
@2001lateralus Good luck getting tickets. Scalpers got to em fast. Mother fuckers. I was gonna drive 20 hours to see that shit. But not at 300 bucks a ticket.
@tijbajmex I kind of doubt that soon. Tool is writing music right now and I would imagine after they release their record they'll be touring. Which is cool too I guess, but I've already seen them like 5 times. Cross your fingers good sir.
@jimbobanalbeats i got my tickets to mer de noms and 13th step the morning they went onsale. i slept in a tent outside of the box office (1st in line) along w/ about 45 ppl behind me. dont get to dicouraged about next year though. i just read an interview w/ J. chancellor saying the album most likely wont be out till late next year. while that does suck, it also leaves room for some more a.p.c touring.
I seem to think this song is literally about someone pursuing a thirteenth step encounter. I've been there myself, and I know how selfish it feels. I did "smile and drop the cliche" of program talk to get what I craved from a female member. It's amazing how this song just takes me right into that mind space again, just out of regret instead. Love this album way too much.
@lingerlightly does the 13th step sexual advance thing basically mean seducing a newcomer to the AA program who is emotionally vulnerable? using your position as an old-timer of the program to get them to trust you kinda thing?
@OwnedRL Basically yes. Vulnerability is the big part as people come into the program quite broken. Oddly enough, it has been suggested that the founder Bill struggled with this to a great extent.
The inherent weakness that exists within the dependence of desire on the structural integrity of a personal relationship, of any kind. Give and take. Gain & loss and its endless cycle. Its a beautiful & painful reminder of this small truth, a first step on the long road to the slow acceptance of loss. Imo. Or it could be about a visit to the Sperm Back. Your choice.
i saw apc in 2003 a week before the thirteenth step album came out so i heard the album live before the cd. it was one of the best concerts ive ever seen!
this song is about heroin additiction end of story.......if you havent been there you wouldnt know. thepackage is what you call the smack,the monster is your addiction.Its probably the one of the most truthfully poetic representations of the desperation of the heroin addict ever conveyed in popular song. can it also be a metaphor for a host of other soul wrenching calamities---perhaps--maynard writes dually as well.
for me i always interpreted this as a song about lust. Where he's fucking some girl he doesnt care about and hates himself for being such a cunt but knows he ultimately is a slave to his lust
@rob13step look man only someone with a cock for a head truly thinks their is one definition for a songs meaning ...haha reckon your a smart cunt now you putrid bastard.
chills every god damn time. tool was amazing live but this is one band i hope more than anything would go back on tour. need to see them before i die.
Absolutely my favorite song from these guys. BUT it's unfortunate that the crowd energy turned into a tempo increase for this performance...kind of killed that beautiful dark, brooding touch that completes this song.
This song is totally about manipulation to get the object of your desire. Doesn't matter what it is.
And when he says "peripheral on the package", he means that he can pretend to be into the situation, but he never keeps his eyes off the prize. He always keeps in mind what he came for and everything he does goes towards getting it, then quickly leaving.
good luck with that. As much as I would LOOVE to see that. Maynard's most likely never going back to APC. They signed a 3 record deal, and they completed it. They all moved on.
Thats not entirely true. Maynard and Billy have both stated that they would love to go back into the studio and record more songs for APC. They also stated that the songs most likely would be released only online either through Itunes or something else. I know me personally I would rather have them tour again and be able to see them live more so then having them release another Album. Seeing all these vids of their live shows make me really sad I never got a chance to see them live.
sounds like it to me anyways. i could be wrong but i like heroine. Fitz perfectly. and either way whatever it be about still the coolest fucking song Snakepit4321. cant dislike it cause some closemindedness to hear someone elses thoughts. music is about getting someone to feel and react. if it didnt make you feel somthing or make you react to it in some way than its shitty music. period. enjoy what makes you feel. godamned robots
WHAT!! u here the scream on that guy, i had no clue he could get that heavy, and im a big apc and tool fan, just goies to show u , u need to see a band live to rly know them
well i dont watch live concerts on youtue too much, i think it ruins that awe u get when seeing bands live, it surprised me cuz the album sounds somewhat different, u no?
Dudes, the whole album is about drug addiction and the shite that goes with it. This song package is about getting your fix and how you dont want to associate with the junkies but you have to, and you will, and in any shape to get your fix.
@burkers Dude, WE DO NOT CARE. I Think so many things, and feel so many different levels of my inner self through their art. Let it speak to me, and quit trying to act knowledgable for figuring out what it means to them. It makes me angry that you fucking trolls pidgeon hole this amazing music.
@burkers duh haha 13th step? like the one after the first 12... to be honest i had this album for years and knew what it was all about but didn't make that specific connection right away, with the steps and what not. i like to think of each song pertaining to a different step, somehow. i don't have any solid theories about those connections but hey i just feel the tunes man
I think this song is about greed or obsession. "Lie to get what I came for, lie to get just what I need." Possibly an addiction to drugs or something else where you use your "clever" and "tricky" to get it.
I thought the song was about getting pussy. Maynard always leaves songs to be interpreted in more then one way though. So don't get all worked up thinking the song can only be about a drug addict. Maybe it's about a sex addict. Think for yourself, question authority.
this song really is about drugs though. I mean, the name 13th step refers to the one after the 12th in AA. Do you know what the 13th step is?.............relapse
Why is there such a big obsession with people on youtube trying to boast how much more they know about a band than "the other guy"? Especially by looking up what songs were originally wrote about? Thats not the meaning of music and it needs to stop. You should be able to relate a song to your own life experiences. It speaks to you more, therefore has MORE meaning to you other than what MAYNARD wrote about. Bravo dwdrummer, you just ruined my favorite APC song for me you fuckhead.
Flame on.. ok retard. I have control over my emotions, but when you EXPLAIN what the song means, its not fucking unnatural to hear the lyrics Lie and smile to get whats mine, and think, oh yeah that fucker on youtube said its about an addict because now the lyrics make perfect sense to that. thats how you ruined it. there is no mystery left to the song. and if you can tell me that you hear this song as something different, then your full of shit.
Listening to the level of spirit and emotion driving their songs is truly a rare experience. I think anyone who has faced and lived through addiction can identify with this song. Simply beautiful..
i dont like to compare Tool to A Perfect Circle. they're both two completely different bands playing two different styles, built upon different foundations with individual meaning. but both are totally awesome and should live forever...
I love this song I was looking for the ringtone forever cuz I need to have this on my phone I finally found it at DownloadEveryTone . com if u would like to get it

@burkers such a great concept album, all the way from "clever got me this far" to "i choose to live." poetic.

@burkers this song does'nt sound like it about someone trying to get a fix, it sounds like someone trying to get a buttie call.

@burkers duh haha 13th step? like the one after the first 12... to be honest i had this album for years and knew what it was all about but didn't make that specific connection right away, with the steps and what not. i like to think of each song pertaining to a different step, somehow. i don't have any solid theories about those connections but hey i just feel the tunes man

I think this song is about greed or obsession. "Lie to get what I came for, lie to get just what I need." Possibly an addiction to drugs or something else where you use your "clever" and "tricky" to get it.

I thought the song was about getting pussy. Maynard always leaves songs to be interpreted in more then one way though. So don't get all worked up thinking the song can only be about a drug addict. Maybe it's about a sex addict. Think for yourself, question authority.

this song really is about drugs though. I mean, the name 13th step refers to the one after the 12th in AA. Do you know what the 13th step is?.............relapse

Why is there such a big obsession with people on youtube trying to boast how much more they know about a band than "the other guy"? Especially by looking up what songs were originally wrote about? Thats not the meaning of music and it needs to stop. You should be able to relate a song to your own life experiences. It speaks to you more, therefore has MORE meaning to you other than what MAYNARD wrote about. Bravo dwdrummer, you just ruined my favorite APC song for me you fuckhead.

Can't keep your own idea of a song? that's too bad. sorry man.
dwdrummer84 2 years ago
I do, until faggots like you ruin if for me. Now everytime i listen to the lyrics i think about what it truly was wrote about thanks to you.

Flame on.. ok retard. I have control over my emotions, but when you EXPLAIN what the song means, its not fucking unnatural to hear the lyrics Lie and smile to get whats mine, and think, oh yeah that fucker on youtube said its about an addict because now the lyrics make perfect sense to that. thats how you ruined it. there is no mystery left to the song. and if you can tell me that you hear this song as something different, then your full of shit.

Listening to the level of spirit and emotion driving their songs is truly a rare experience. I think anyone who has faced and lived through addiction can identify with this song. Simply beautiful..
