  • now go buy his wine.....maybe..

  • Related video bar: More APC, Tool, and Deftones...doesn't get much better than that.

  • Beautiful. I think it's amazing how they use the imagery of Mary Magdalene in a sexual/lustful reference. The whole mystery around her life was whether or not she was a prostitute, such an alluring figure and I can't help but see her when I listen to this. Didn't know Perfect Circle was so deep. XD

  • Hands all over

    words I utter

    Change them into

    things you want to

    like balls of clay--oh wait... that's... nevermind ;D

  • Funny how people argue over nothing... Isnt it? Anyway i cant listen to this song anymore.

  • @drummerbadass1 hey buddy, rock band dont count as drums you pussy, put a video on youtube maybe we can see your "mad skills" problem is your probably some 400 pound 35 year old guy living in hiis moms basement eating potato chips that his mom bought watching tv on your moms tv, and looking at porn/ cyber bullying evry kid you can find. i looked at your profile you faggot, all you do is rant about bands sucking and pick on kids. grow a pair you fucking queer. im outa characters bitch, fuck you.

  • @ZeroGravity3Run sooo well said THANKYOU!!

  • @drummerbadass1 No this is A Perfect Circle, Maynard's side project. Tool is a different band, if you would like an idea of a phenomenal Tool song, listen to Aenima, Lateralus, Undertow. (Songs, or albums.) That being said. A Perfect Circle kicks ass and you are the first person I've ever seen insult anything using the word orangutan in the insult.

  • @wardenclyffeslate Tool's prime was twenty years ago and then they came out with a perfect circle ten ago? And it sounds exactly like lame Tool. The drummer is real real good however. he almost is at my level. But the singer??? Bunkmeister.. bass is great..Songs?? Yuck

  • @drummerbadass1

    "The drummer is real real good however. he almost is at my level" takes away the little respect people may have had of you. Go fuck yourself with a drumstick

  • @luciduspostremo I care what you think people's opinions are about my superiority at pro drum ability?

  • @drummerbadass1 dany carey will fucking pown you you prick!!! get a freaking LIFE! no one cares about you, all you do is talk trash because you dont have freinds and picking on kids over the computer is all you have left. go some were else, maybe a place were you opinions actually matter!

  • @rx22289 Danny carey will never be as good as I am. he will always be second string to me in technical ability or finesse. He is too hung up on power drumming only

  • @drummerbadass1 - Prove it.

  • @drummerbadass1 ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!! do you here your self?? rockband drums do not count for shit, have you heard the time signatures that tool plays? like vicarious,lateralus or aenima. i want to see you do a cover of any of those songs,and if you can do it by the end of the week, ill admit that you are the drummer that you oh so strongly claim to be. but you wont cause your just a scarred little fagot shudden, that dosent have shit worth to his name!

  • @rx22289 Shut up chump. Or get mad like I care because I'm better.

  • @drummerbadass1 prove it bitch, post a video.

  • @drummerbadass1 "chump"... is that your favorite word is chump? thats all you say is chump! if your gonna lie about being a better drummer than dany carey let alone lie about being a drummer at all, get some new material to talk shit w/. and exactly proving my point your just a lieing sack of shit who doesent drum at all! this argument is done your nothing. go to a place were someone cares about you because obviously no one on youtube does!

  • @rx22289 Hahahaha. ZEP IS STILL KING chumpy.. Anf Tool smells like a Stool...LOLOLOOLOLOL

  • @drummerbadass1 WOW!! thats the only thing during your hole existance on the web that youv said, that actually has some truth to it. and even still only half of it makes sense. your such a faggot "chump"!!!

  • @rx22289 It's whole , not hole...chumpmeister

  • @drummerbadass1 who the fuck cares its the internet! you have no more valid points to make, goodbye.

  • @drummerbadass1 So Tool's "prime" was before their first EP... Bullshit. Brush up on your history.

  • @wardenclyffeslate They never had a prime. people were and are stillpaying homage to Zep all through Tools flimsy little career. ZEP IS THE ALL TIMe KING.. Fuck a chumpy Tool or it's baby brother APC...

  • @drummerbadass1 Dude, your reply isn't even on topic... And you were the one to say they had a prime. Also Black Sabbath > Led Zeppelin. Oh and, YOUR MOM!

  • @wardenclyffeslate And Deep Purple JIMI Hendrix , all smoke the lowly spiritually absent Tool..

  • @drummerbadass1 Chicken Livers and Peanut Blossoms.

  • How could anyone dislike this? Seriously.

  • Great song thx 2the voice.

  • Comment removed

  • this ones secretly about paz

  • @shanecombs1993 - LMFAO

  • I love Maynard's voice in this song. Fucking win.

  • god, this album is good.

  • Magdelena was the prostitute that destructed Greek gods. He simply fell in love with a prostitute.

  • This is sacrum profanum that I am sure.

  • I'd always thought this song to reference the strippers ability to manipulate a client and create themselves into a pure figure of lust and god like status that this client could only be inclined to beg for..to give all of him self to the altar a dollar at a time. Pouring everything he has into that moment of lust in hopes of seeing her after

  • look at the name of the song...its a bout the Holy Bloodline of Jesus (myth)

  • ναι η σφοδρή επιθυμία επηρεάζει όλα τα άτομα

  • he is angry at god

  • If you can relate to his music in any way, just be glad to understand it, there is only a few of us that think different than others, oh yea dont think to hard about it youll miss the point, DEATH BLOOMS

  • @mikew1008 Hey dude share with me what you think this song is about, I tend to get lost in Maynard's style of lyricism and just focus more on the melody.

  • @kenshinjd I believe its a spiritual theory he has, It is kind of hard to relate to this unless you have danced with your destroyer

  • @mikew1008 lolwutxD? my destroyer, you mean like nearly died? had near-death experience? or what does it mean to dance with your destroyer just explain that bit you dnt have to tell me what the song means nowxD

  • @kenshinjd It's about strippers

  • @oreokinko4 +3 pts :D

  • exelente disco de estos cabrones de aperfect circle

  • 61 people have cock in there ass and got pounded so hard the missed the like button

  • magdalena-cupcake-a stripper name/prostitute name

  • Maynard James Keenan!!!So fucking perfect vocals!!!

  • eleven years later and this album is still freakin awesome!

  • I have a feeling this is about a stripper..not quite sure but...lyrics point towards that or BIggerCityDreamz comment.

  • lol it goes to prove how far in depth people go into try finding the meaning of a song when all it has to do is with something as simple as talking about how hot a spanish stripper is lol

  • Check out the vitamin string quartet tribute ... even better ... Love VSQ

  • Anyone think that maybe Maynard's reference to throw a dollar could possibly be based on collection at church? Sounds like maybe he's trying to buy his way into heaven. Just a thought.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz stripper dude... stripper

  • @iespeche - First off, I'm not a dude :) Next, when has Maynard made a song so one dimensional? It's almost like it's too obvious for the song to be about a stripper, and if you've listened to Tool, APC, etc you should search for a deeper meaning.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz i always thought it was about throwing a dollar to someones daughter dancing on a pole.. but i like the heaven thing too! ima read the comments to find a funny argument about it!

  • @BiggerCityDreamz I think you're reading a little too much into this song. While I have no idea what it is about (MJK hasn't spilled the beans in any interview I've seen), it appears to be a very poetic description about lusting after someone. Mary Magdalena was a sex worker after all!

    Religion is a recurring theme in MJK songs, but he often uses religious themes and language to describe other human experiences. Perhaps its a result of being raised by a devout Christian.

  • @badduck71 - I respect your opinon, but I don't think there's such thing as reading too much into either Tool or APC songs.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz I think you're right. I actually think he's referencing church collection plates AND giving a stripper money. Lust and worship become the same thing in this song. Religion is sex.

  • @extropian If I were a Priest I would touch little girls and make than say "oh God!!" ;)

  • Maynard tells you to decipher the lyrics to his music as you see them, so all of you are right.

  • @extropian i dunno man sounds like it just about a stripper. Ill ask him next time i see him.

  • @extropian wanting something, and performing an action in hopes of attaining it. A 2nd life seems like an expensive thing to buy.

  • @BiggerCityDreamz i think that's possible. i've come up with 3 theories (just opinions, really): this song is either about a stripper/prostitute, buying his way into Heaven, or he's lusting after a nun. that's just what i think... goddamn, Maynard is the master of metaphors and a god among men.

  • religion is beleaving all exzists in the outer relm and god wont keep the doller spread the word all my holusinetic one doller at a time just mimic the purifecation the feeling of lost can only replenish the spirit in all that will not die and will for a little while at a long unity of self can b reflected i give my life to you for free if one is with me watch wear you shit for it is alive

  • @brandwonakiss please go back to school.

  • @brandwonakiss it yu seemes acksidentaly yur sentens.

  • @BleakandDead sorry im in love i dont have a free mind ask manard he know if not now he does is this maynerd or some other soule kause i love ya regardliss

  • agreed..... magdalena is definitely a stripper worth throwing the money...

    im not a christian, and judith doesnt sound like hes an antichrist either... he was just mad bout his mothers fate, thats all

  • My name is Magdalena.

  • "beyond compelled to throw this dollar down

    before your holiest of altars"

    "i'll sell my soul, my self esteem

    a dollar at a time"

    This song has nothing to do with religion. Period. It has much to do with being a sucker for a spanish stripper named "Cupcake" whose body is that of a godess.

  • we all have this song/band in common not because we all have the same religious, political, sexual whatever views but because there's some part of us that feels something strong when we listen

  • how about we try less to "overthink, overanalyze" and more to feel it, just close your eyes and watch the pictures that pop into your head without trying to understand or judge them... let go for one second god damnit, there's so much beauty beyond those thoughts. listen to all kinds of music, listen to what just sounds good not what fits with your 'identity' - you're afraid of being judged by yourself - feel afraid, feel anger, feel lust, feel happy, feel resentment, feel !

  • @shadeofdeepgreen Amen to that. Music is one of the best, most beautiful parts of life. Its something that all humans on some level can feel, no matter what type is it.

  • always in a perfect circle videos or tool...people talking against religion...i really don't get it. its like all APC fans has the same fucking opinions-if you like a band it doesn't mean that you have to agree with their point of view...praise the lord!!!

  • This song is obviously about a stripper. You can't get anything about organized religion out of this unless you don't understand what a metaphor is.

  • my grandmother composed this song for perfect circle,in the summer of 72 in iceland

  • @oo00infinity00oo Dude, we already knew that...

  • Comment removed

  • @oo00infinity00oo I don't buy that.

  • @oo00infinity00oo YAH AND IM JASON COUGAR MELLANCAMP

  • @sixfeetontop Ahr hi, Im Tyson McMicahael Blair

  • Hey peeps! Hate doin this, but surroundins are forcin me to! And since it's the only way to get heard.. Just poppin by my fave bands and throwin this up, I just finished my debut demo. Inspired by Maynard greatly and thats why I feel no shame, think he'd let me! If anyone want's to then feel free to pop by and give a listen, throw a comment or PM about what ya think and spread it around. 1 view in denmark is like scoring 1000 elsewhere. So every little helps! Take care, Much love! - Liam Andrew

  • @whatislovedonthurtme - i saw a show last year with a girl who stripped to an APC song. So intense, dark, sultry and super sexy. good choice if you can pull it off!

  • @ajbeauli sweet! this sound is extremely intense and sultry. i'll hold off for now and leave it for personal use!!!

  • My girlfriends name is Magdalena =]

  • this song reminds me of this asian babe that comes into my workplace so often and teases me so hard.

  • Cupcakes....well....I thought it was about eating pussy, but to each their own.

  • i feel like hopping on a stripper pole every time i hear this song. and if i had enough upper body strength, this would be the song i'd choose to take my clothes off to. ( -_-)

  • @whatislovedonthurtme send nude pics instead babe. show the pink!

  • In my opinion this songs kinda dirty.

  • I prefer my cupcakes without sprinkles or frosting

  • the more i listen to them, the more i listen to the more i listen to them.....and it goes on like a circle. PERFECT :-D

  • In many ways no one; will believe or even understand the principle. That I am even talking about but " I miss Barbelo!"

  • gnostic

  • i wanna have a hot shower, light some candles, have this song on repeat and make sweet sweet juicy love with a cute blonde under the soft sheets with many pillows and get really dirty....is there something wrong with me?

  • I think i may have lost interest in any song but this one. Best so far i've heard from Maynard

  • Countless dollars, thrown dwon to countless Magdalenas on countless holy alters...

  • magdalena and mary magdalene have a connection? or diff woman

  • @Shaaaaatup Really?

  • maynard is a messiah man

  • one of my favourites.

    m.

  • My name is Magdalena.

  • Top 5 APC songs:

    5. Blue

    4. Orestes

    3. Passive

    2. 3 Libra's

    1. Magdalena

    Mer de Noms is definitely Maynard's best vocal work by far.

  • @coreyhhh Best 5 songs:

     5. The Noose 4. The Hollow 3. Orestes 2. Magdalena 1. Brena

  • the song is about getting some really good DMT after not using it for a long time and finding a really hot black alien he'd sell everything to fuck

  • Whenever i see a video that has a commenter complaining about dislikes, i dislike the video. I do this regardless if i like the vid or not just to make that comment obsolete and to recycle the economy of comments that will reach top comments.

  • @yohiwasupman yeah my guess would be that doing that makes no difference at all

  • Magdalena is a stripper?

  • One of the best albums of all time

  • @nirvalicsoundjamins agreed. I've never actually downloaded an entire album to my ipod because most artists' albums have a couple tracks that aren't that good. Doesn't apply to tool, APC, or Puscifer.

  • One of APC's best. But they're all amazing.

  • hmm reminds me of tool...

  • @nltcraze

    Maynard Keenan is the singer of A Perfect Circle, TOOL, and Puscifer.

  • @xChildOfProphecy lol yea i just found that out and it explains a lot. but i didnt know Maynard sang for Puscifer too...

  • @nltcraze

    Puscifer is a side project of his.

  • @nltcraze same lead singer me thinks...

  • He wrote the lyrics using a biblical reference while throwing down dollar bills in a strip joint. Anything else is added by individual interpretation, i.e. a guess.

  • You know some people say it's about organized religion but in my opinion it sounds like the songs about being hypnotized by a certain strippers dancing. Just listen to the lyrics people you would know what i'm talking about.

  • the songs about a stripper DUMB ASSES!

  • @369crazyk369

    People can interprate Maynard's music however they please.

    Chil out.

  • @369crazyk369 Name is based off a woman in the bible.

  • Basically, I think the song is about how people fall into organized religion so easily. They pay one dollar at a time. This could be looked at literaly (when a minister demands money for the church), or on a metaphorical leval (religion starts to take over their values). At the start of the song, "overcome by the holiest of the altars" could describe how much the person is sold by the church. This person is selling their soul to experience a taste of the "holy."

  • @HellDevil75 Plus, when people state that Magdelena means cupcake in Spanish, I think that is a nice metaphor for organized religion. It looks and tastes nice on top with all the sprinkles and frosting, but once your done with what you taste first, you soon realize that the whole cupcake does not taste like that. The whole cupcake, or organized religion, is not actually as pure as good as first shown. This is just my interpertation anyway.

  • @HellDevil75 wow man, pretty intuitive...cupcakes...could the cake be the balance from a really strong frosting?

  • @HellDevil75 YOu just blew my fkn mind

  • @HellDevil75 religion looks nice, with frosting on top? really? at you tempted to follow a religion, but are on a strict atheistic diet?

    you can say a lot about religion, but no religion even tries to look like cupcake.

    magdalene may mean cupcake, but that just makes it a cute name for a girl child, who then became the Magdalene in the Bible, who this song is based on. i don't think you can read meaning into the name itself.

  • @sarrahysf Well, anybody can read meaning in anything they want to. That is the best part of art, it means something different to everybody. And really, most regligions try to seem all sweet and friendly, speaking of the afterlife and how amazing it is and their ever loving God and being kind to other humans. But all religions have more to it than that - the parts that AREN'T so nice and fluffy.

  • @HellDevil75 i think you may be reading into it a little toooo much...

  • my girlfriend wanted me to bang her on this... allriiiiteeee

  • peace and love

  • @S1W2E3D i feel like making 10000 profiles jus to like it tht many times

  • @pipugwesajig sometimes..i know its ok but i cant help but force people around me to listen to this song over and over again (mostly in my head) cause im crraazzayy ^ take a look at that guy

  • @S1W2E3D this post dint get the likes it deserved

  • @pipugwesajig i know what your commenting about on that one ;D

  • Dear Noah, We could have sworn you said the ark wasn't leaving till 5. Sincerely, The Unicorns...

  • @lostsativa No hate, but can we choose something else for a top comment? I love reading the intelligent top comments we sometimes get on APC

  • @lostsativa How does that have anything to do with the song

  • @lostsativa Dear Noah, those damn unicorns told us that you said you weren't leaving till 5. Sincerely Pissed,

    The Dinosaurs...

  • @lostsativa Is that supposed to be funny?

  • @lostsativa "what about the Gnostics; he told me; I should come around 6?"

    (I guess were earth bounded)

  • Wings for Mary - She has two winged creatures on the roof of her box.....a box with two poles in it behind a curtain in the Holy of Holies:)

  • magdelena=cupcake in spanish......think about it, absorb it. Picture yourself now, in front of the display case with one dirty dollar in your sweaty little hand. your breath steaming up the glass as you frantically look from one delicious frost covered temptation to the next. now sing it!
