A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless

[kaonous]

many animals were harmed in the making of this video. but it was worth it

[Sarahmajig]

The girl is the heroin addict. The reptiles are the dragons. The bugs are addiction. She feeds the bugs trying to stop the hole inside from growing.

I had no idea the song was about addiction until someone said something, but now it's so obvious :B

[GrinningDemon99]

the monkey IS addiction clinging to your back diging for china is looking for Pills like oxyconin opan vicodin ect or even heroin, but its def an opiate yes whate as dracula as he aproces the bottle is withdralwing... i know all to well what theese mean..

[makeshift5050]

i love the idea that i can "metaphoricly" (prob not how its spelled) understand the drug connection." somone feed the monkey (child) while i dig in search of china (heroin, pills coke ect) white as dracula as i aproach the bottle (withdrawing) desparate and revanouse. so weak and powerless over u.(the drug) correct spelling ur self i know.

[mansonfreak123456789]

I wonder what shampoo she uses to keep her hair so silky haha

[24816ist]

Armeh, spinal damage? Did you see a spine through that hole in her torso?

[CGarcia0423]

Oh god it wasnt that serious....The song rocks who cares about the actors!!!

[GanjaSolja]

Metaphors get you higher than lizards.

[armeh185]

note to actors, rolling your eyes in to the back of the head only occurs when their has been damage to the spinal nerve. So unless she just went in to cardiac arrest, or was just shot in the heart, this wouldnt happen

[Sarahmajig]

@armeh185 They probably had her roll her eyes back for effect and as part of the symbolism that she's dying, since people associate eyes rolled back with death. Duh.

[armeh185]

i NEED TO GET HIGH, maybe this lizard will dothe trick :D

[Amadaeo]

The girl in this video is just plain gorgeous, and from the looks of the album cover she has beautiful eyes too.

[EatMySkittle]

Maynard's voice makes me weep

[isthael37]

I never thought of this song as being about Adam and Eve until I saw the video, I should actually just say Eve. I sure hope the person who flagged this video wasn't religious, because he/she pretty much just went against his/her own cause!

[gojoego1912]

Leave it to a Vidiot to compare THEE best music to a videogame....

Acctually i see it too..That game is sick...I fucking love chain saws

[FloppinPoptart623]

reminds me of the witch in Left 4 Dead 2

[victormuyiwafolabi12]

this is porn disguised as a music video!

[Visioncliff]

Hell yeah! Ain't it great?

[montayneau22]

i dont see why its flagged. its such a good song

[shadowdoggit]

because of......side boob (*gasp* dun dun duuuuun)

[spiffinz]

how is this video flagged as inappropriate when you can flip to nat geo and see corpses with their limbs severed off?

[aes005]

One can't control everything outside oneself. Many people have tried and lost because of it.

[voznow7]

Is china white fentanyl or opium?

[toolfann1]

this guy did wicked game APC style, search perfect circle wicked game

[DezyKins]

OMG HAWT PRONZ DX <3 <3 <3 <3

[thebrian803]

shitty shitty quality .

awesome awesome song .

[ericadisegni]

se qualcuno mi spiega perchè inadatto ai minori..per il nudo??si vede di più in uno spot di creme per il corpo o di profumi di marca

[05twiggy05]

yes over 18 cus this video contains bugs nudity....

[Beshimi]

ridiculous.. this is the EDITED version of the video that DOESN'T show nudity, and some brain dead fucking conservative still flags it.

[Inutero98541]

Haha.. I bet it was a mormon who was surfing the tube and was like "I don't want my kids to see this! Nor do I want them to drink caffeine!"

But who gives a fuck, those who are over 18 (Or who lied about their age) can still listen to one of the best songs ever written by APC.

[reggieispimp25]

wtf? you prick liberals are the ones that would think it was "wrong."

[Beshimi]

oi vey.. here we go.

alright, i'll humor you. explain your reasoning.

[shadowdoggit]

wait...how come its the liberals who think its wrong?

[chokyglm]

isten zene

[TheRealOzzy]

she's beatiful

[joegt123]

cep for the gaping hole in her stomach >->;;

[GrungeMaggot08]

i love the bass in this song, it just sticks out so much

[MusicalProphecy]

hate to bring attention to the naked chic but i thing shes absolutely beautiful (no lust what so ever)

[HeReTiK36]

she is mysteriously gorgeous tho

[gumwad5000]

are u fucking kidding me? u gotta be 18 to see this? wtf is happening to this world man

[joegt123]

nothing specific, just someones an idiot. i mean they put this shit on mtv2 a couple years back.

[alliancesucknards]

boooo

[preslnxidor]

!!!!:)

[Benioff1]

Do I really have to confirm my age every time I want to watch this video, Youtube?

[Adagio1723]

haha and i thought i was the only loser who watched this video like 3 times a day haha

[Benioff1]

More like 2 for me but yeah; I'm obsessed as well.

[cardrivecar]

i love the part where that bug is crawling and the music gets all epic it is some TRIPPY SHIT

[Jouellette9]

this is definitly my favorie APC song, Maynard is just on a whole other level then any other songwriters out there

[spaden2112]

billy howerdel writes the lyrics for APC i think.

[DARID1234]

oleannder: I JUST GOT A FLAG SAYIN THIS VID IS UNSUITABLE 4 MINORS!! WHATS THIS MEAN!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS MUSIC AND VID! KEEP PLAYIN IT!!!!!!

[forfeit82]

this + "Noose" + "Blue" = my favs out of 13th Step

[Merjia]

APC are my Favorite band ever.

[LovvaBoi]

OMG i love this song. sooo good.its like it just captures emotions so well.

[netwolf]

Man can you believe this album came out like 4 years ago now. Why does time fly so fast?! So many awesome memories tied into this album.

[Benioff1]

I thought it was SIX years

[hirciin]

awesome! 5/5

[IKilledYouVids]

Juse Love IT O.O

[IKilledYouVids]

just* xD

[CopyrghtInfringement]

Little angel, go away

Come again some other day

Devil has my ear today

I'll never hear a word you say

He promised I would find a little

Solace and some peace of mind

Whatever, just as long as I don't feel so...

[sneauxangel]

I like how in this video it doesn't fade out in the end. In this one you get to see her face more.

Favorite song and favorite video of all time, (not to mention fave band and lyrics).

[nolifegeval]

The move she makes at 2:18 is pretty.. cool xD. Nice song and vid (:

[irishcoffee]

ouch, I feel like what she looks like when I have cramps, lol

[spyco3tard]

little angle go away come again some other day, the devil has my ear today, ill never hear a word you say, he promiced i would find some solice and some pice of mind; whatever just as long as i dont feel so weak and powerless over you

[forgotmypassword3]

I like this song. I like how she destroys herself by taking in the outside and mirroring it on the inside.

[alphonsewife4ever]

i wonder if her hair is real, lol. tht would be amazing if it was. :D :D :D

[Isosyth]

i typed in tool on pandora radio and this came up and the first thing i thought was "this sounds like the singer for tool" ... -_-

[precambrein]

it is maynard

[Isosyth]

lol i know that now that i read all of these comments. I felt kind of stupid when i was thinking "man this sounds alot like him" then i find out it is.

[mIXsaz]

things do change :)

[TommyW88]

i like this song, dont get me wrong, but is it me or has Maynard's music become a lot softer with APC?

[theeternalsinner]

He said something like APC was the beauty (feminine part), whereas Tool is the angry and the aggressiveness(masculine part).

He can change over the styles in a very natural way.

[Koi0bsession]

MAYNARD IS A GENIUS! i love the group of lyrics with the angel. makes your stomach feel weak.. and powerless. haha. sorry.

[mIXsaz]

stomach ye ^^

[EchoSparx]

wow....is it just me or can NOBODY that f---- posts on this site spell?! No offense people but a) go BACK to 1st grade and b) stop using text lingo, I don't see why alot of you are to f------ lazy to hit an extra like 2 keys on your keyboards god damn man....

[MarshalNey13]

"NOBODY that" should (properly) be "NOBODY who"

"alot" should be "a lot"

"to f--- lazy" should be "too f--- lazy"

Settle down now...

[noecho88]

In a more calm way, I agree. Are people in such a rush to comment on videos, or just unable to spell?

[pfftfrenzy]

lol yes because you put a comment on youtube everyone is just gonna start typing different and its faster and easier to type like that so why dont u stfu and deal with it

[voznow7]

They dont want minors to see it because it suggest sevral taboo themes.

Would you want your kid watching this kind of thing?

[NieANyu]

+18 AT ALL!

I dnt understand why a minor can see this video..

Its very artistic ando original, the song is a bit slow but i love it too...

Great video!

[midnightsun6547]

i know this video is like wicked gross but i couldnt find any other videos with this song and i completly love this song...probably more than i should......=D

[amipornonline]

this is maybe my favourite song on the albumb. All the songs off this albumb are great songs to send me to sleep too. Relaxing and reflective.

[addictedxromantic]

fucken sweet carnt stop lisning

[ikkin69]

amazing song and video!!

[gunfuego]

Simply.....WOW.....great vid, a work of art.....

[Hammerarm47]

she reminds me of the kid that was like a spider on the grudge. :\

[drumkrazy1984]

my favorite song along with Judith...

APC FOREVER!!!! =)

[danthemango]

"jam another dragon down that hole". Inhaling Heroin vapors is called "chasing the dragon", so I think it means to take the dragon and stick it into a hole.

[Houston1120]

Maynard did right ;P

[myveryownthing]

who the fuck cares if this video is flagged???? all you do is press the CONFIRM BIRTH DATE button and voila you're watching the video...

[mariner4590]

Ok guys, I love A Perfect Circle, Maynard is awesome, this is an amazing song, but come on. Hot naked chick with a hole in her stomach crawling around throwing reptiles into a pit? You can't see why someone might find this offensive?

[pirosho]

Nope. :D

[Houston1120]

@ mariner:

This video is Art,it isnt really pornographic, so for me it isnt offensive :P

[Kordyon24]

Maynard has said that her name is Tanya but he didn't give a last name.

[bleedem]

we must take back our rights to freedom of speech and everything else the gov and other aholes r tryin to to from us we won't give up wit out a fight

[90Senti]

Unfortunately the most of us will ^^

[Houston1120]

That stupid Christian Fanatic Freaks are flaggin these Wonderful vids, Stop them!!

[Duneyr]

Anyone know the girls name in this video?

[hollychaos]

dont flag music !! censorship will destroy freedom of speech!!!

[King7Navarre]

wow a quote from aenema

That really explains alot

[King7Navarre]

wrong

you must not know anything about the band

Why act like you do?

[Benioff1]

Did anyone else see movie The Invisible? It uses this song in the movie.

[shitgod46]

i love this song its fuckin beautiful

[FUUPTHEA]

Is this official? Or just a fan vid?

[orion4678h]

[peterhelgeson]

[ipodtoucher15]

wtf how come this songs is so fucking good. i didnt know a song could be this fucking wonderful.

[thepoison1627]

who in their right mind would flag this video?

fuking conservatives cant stand the fact that some girls are fuking hot, so they have to flag it

just sad -_-

[xxxNightstalker1xxx]

i knew this song was by tool but y does it say another band

[4dOp]

the song is by a perfect circle not tool, you tool

[xblinkyx]

its not Tool. It A perfect Circle. Maynard's other band.

[bobdabuildor]

its not tool, this band is called "a perfect circle" you may think its tool because it is the same lead singer in both bands. the truth is, he acts/sings very differently in both songs

[Mewttt]

Whoever flagged this, is a fucking retard?

-.-' How can you flag such a great song? omgg...

[darknesswilllruleyou]

[azaproc]

[GreatDestroyer06]

Who the hell flags one of the best songs ever? And this was on TV, c'mon people. Anyways APC rules and Tool is awesome too! Amazing in every way

[CainmosniMirrored]

Probably some sex starved christian who cant stand the thought of "Nudity".

[4dOp]

[CainmosniMirrored]

[mnoormsh]

[cantgetout444]

[db565777]

maynard rocks!!

[neoJ666]

crazy video

[GDGspire]

snake behind me hisses what my damage could have been

[cacomixl16]

flagged as inappropriate? come on. are we a nation of wusses?

[freakpoint22]

lol :D

[L4FAST81]

FUCKING KICKASS

[bogeaqYT]

i like tools videos better more interesting

[AceM523]

WTF. Strange and creepy video, but awesome song. Kinda reminds me of the Fear Itself intro.

[ThcDinobot]

I have heard this song 100s of times, but never seen the video...She is very beautiful, Keep it up maynard...

[atiekay721]

they are amazing. you can feel the music within you. they are wonderful live

[gmoney335]

maynard is one of the greatest human beings.

I had the greatest privilege to meet him at his winery in arizona. I had no expectation to meet him but sure enough he was mashing grapes with his bare feet.

Maynard is a visionary and he is one of the most powerful figures in my 16 years of life.

HUZZAH MAYNARD!

[RoxyFace3]

Who the fuck would flag this video? It's very beautiful and artistic. Anyway, I fucking love APC Maynard is a God. Pure genuis.

[helios345]

@RoxyFace3

probably some weird conservative americans which are afraid of tits :D

and yes. maynard is a god!

[psychopaticmonkey]

wow they flagged this vid but didn't flag any other vids that has exposed boobs...

[kuamei71]

and u can't even see them clearly ...

this video is amazing

[PyroAnarchist23]

its the damn fucking christian mothers who instead of doing a good job of parenting and watching their kids they think they should just have anything beyond the slightest bit abnormal and inappropriate blocked lol

[Noxypig]

Its so otherworldly... in a creepy but beautiful way.

[Ninjasparkarn1337]

They're brilliant!

[poisongirl767]

all said...

[ayyymengg]

this video scares the shit out of me but a very good song.

[hipgirl1982]

Great song, love a perfect circle. This video is a litle dissapointing. Still love these guys, though!

[Devastator38]

Such a fantastic band with deep and well-thought out lyrics. Truly other-worldly.

[MaRx886]

genial!

[cykalox]

SLAVA APC

[kedrobomb]

i like the (tillin' my own grave) version better. idk why though...

[samsungexodus]

woooow i ben listening this song its ben a while already BUT I JUST IGNOR THE LYRICS HIS WONDERING & CONFUSION & PAINFUL LYRICS... i just really enjoy his voice & the way they created sounds...AWESOME...MAYNERD u are GIFTED...

[WolviesGirrrl]

The main reason I enjoy Perfect Circle is because of Maynard's vocals. He has such an amazing range and uniqueness.  This song actually strikes a very very personal note for me....the fact that I've been in that place. He makes it sound so haunting. I love it.

[stupidslogan]

I really love this video and i love the way that everyone have some different interpretation of it, for me this video show the way someone feel when is empty and you try so hard to fill that empty [if u have feel it u will know it hurt in the stomach]...

the insects represent everything that use trying to fill that empty hole [DRUGS, persons, food], but all that just make the situaftion worse and end up feeling that empty hole bigger...

[spiritofsyth]

I think your interpretation is correct. I think it also has to do with anger and power and control over ones life and liking to feel like your in control by clinging onto things.

[bourani12]

why is this tagged tool? kill yourself poster.

[fcwbaker]

trying to get views from tool fans

[Speedracerson]

Which is a great idea... since some of A Perfect Circle's stuff is better or at least AS good as Tool's stuff. (Which comes as no surprise, with Maynard being in both of them)

[dentabones]

Good song. So many different interpretations.

[sirius894]

someone needs to punch the retard who flaged this video. nudity doesnt always represent sex.

[Berzrk3r]

Agreed.

[Naruseki]

Well said.

[Speedracerson]

Word

[OMFGsoBOARD]

boobs
