I adore this song. I feel The meaning of this song is basically about standing up for yourself. It could be about addiction, abuse, and or an overall low self-esteem
To me, this song is about self-realization. What a powerful statement. "I will, I am." I'm not just some sleeping god's idle fancy, doomed to perish when said superbeing awakens. *I* will. *I* am. And with harm to none, as I will, so mote it be!
This song was the only song that actually made me cry.. the only song that has ever done that... I don't know why...It's just.. really deep.. to me for some reason..
@Oo4QoO : It's understandable that the song made you cry. It's a pretty powerful expression of the moment in a person's life when they will no longer lie down and be passive.
This song is powerful, every time i hear it, i am able to shed the disillusion that I am responsible for the collapse of my family, it makes me realize that i was in a mentally abusive relationship akin to a deer in the headlights.
This song always makes me think of Stephen King's book Rose Madder. The plot line of the book is easily comparable to "the weak can overcome the strong" message in the song. Great songwriting. Great album. Great voice.
Love Maynard James Keenan in Tool APC and Puscifer but tool definitly has some of the deepest music of all but all of his work is amazing like ths song especially
Well good news everyone, A Perfect Circle seems to be coming back for another LP, check their twitter I'll link it.
@1026 Princess I agree, it's one of my favorites off of Mer De Noms, right behind 'Thomas'. FYI guys I will get back to doing some more lyrics, just been busy with school and doing my own writing...
thsi song is underestimated. in my opinion its my favorite song by a perfect circle followed by thinking of you and pet. the complexity of this song is amazing and i think it represents a lot in both courage and love
@1026princess I love all of maynards writing. Not that twiggy didnt help with this one... its just his lyrics are so multi-dimensional that they can be interpreted so many ways! Sometimes i listen to this when im sad, other times when i need encouragement to be active with my own life, At first i always looked at my friends like how do you listen to this crap. Then i had a mindbending experience and i see the beauty in art, not just music
lyrics r close

I as well cry when I I hear this and listen. It reminds me to believing myself all over again. I recommend listening to The Package right after.

the first 6 songs on mer de noms are absolutely sick but magdalena and rose in my opinion are the best and most underrated.
