  • I was under the impression that this song was about a paranoid father who kept his child hidden from the world because he believed the world to be evil. "Pay no mind to what other voices say, they don't care about you like I do. Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils" I take that as him not giving his child a chance to choose for himself and instilling doubt into him of the world around him-brainwashing at it's finest

  • @WOTRDan I think you are kinda right but paranoid father = methaphor for the media, and child = us

  • Comment removed

  • thumbs up if you loved a perfect circle and maynard before UFC even made it on TV

  • @KidsOnCrack33 THANK YOU!! For like three years I wondered "How is this about addiction?" Then it popped into my head and made perfect sense! Thank you :D

  • /watch?v=iDjVSQNIi_c

    This art will continue.

  • whats the name of the remix with biggie smalls in it

  • @nbandit2k9 are you talking about counting bodies like sheep?

  • Don't fret precious Maynard's here and may he be here for a long time to come.

  • My good taste in music brought me here.

  • Is maynard singing from the perspective of the drug?

  • @VoodooVuich89 he is indeed :)

  • I was directed here from a Dark! Italy one shot from Hetalia...

    -shivers-

    Creepy...

  • Substance abuse, its about.

  • @chadloveschargers Thanks, Yoda.

  • @chadloveschargers Thanqs, Qui-Gon Jinn

  • @chadloveschargers

    wtf does substance abuse have to do with new world order, or "count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum" ?

    Please fuck off. You're an embarrassment for other APC fans.

  • @Rw7451 this whole album has to do with substance abuse...but, it could mean anything to anybody, it's all about perspective.

  • the lyrics also kinda works if you think of a priest singing this.

  • @fredabomb works for anyone who seeks a place of power and wishes to control others. Side with and contribute to me, and everything will work out for you, just be comfortable and complacent about everything and it will be ok.

    with that being said this song is fuckin dope

  • @fredabomb shut up. You think you're original to attack my church on the internet? They're not all molesters damn it! lol

  • @fredabomb yea, not cool.

  • I know Maynard likes comedian Bill Hicks and made a song with quotes from him and I'm wondering if when the song says go back to sleep he is referring to Hicks saying "Go back to sleep America" in one of his shows. Any thoughts?

  • @AbernathyProductions Maynard did an interview in which he spoke about the meaning of this song. He said that it was a drug talking to an addict. Given the context of the Hicks quote I'm inclined to disagree except that there is another song by maynard, which you're probably aware of, called counting bodies like sheep which is political and it has most of the same lyrics.

  • sad, many people will know this song from the show "missing"'s commercial but they will not know it is APC...why the hell do they never give credit to the artists they use on commercials...!? ugh.

  • Awesome :D

  • What are you all fighting about? It's much nicer listening to this masterpiece.

  • ' I must isolate you

    Isolate and save you from yourself

    Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order '

    Best APC song at least according to me ...

  • @nikolaytzenov agreed.

  • STOP FIGHTING AND LOOK UP HERE^

  • ''Lay your head down child

    I won't let the pedobear come''

  • @DarkAcidWaves True Story.

  • @DarkAcidWaves

    I dont know why this made me lol

  • Jeff the Killer

  • God I love when pussys talk shit cause they can hide behind their computers.

  • It's funny because the comments is being used by UFCfags with no use of their spare time.

  • Damn good song.

  • Thumbs up if you came here from Allikatnya's Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost AMV!! :D

  • The album IS about addiction, trust me I relate to that as an addict, which endears me to this masterpiece so much. but maynard did say more than once he dedicated the song to bush, or was trashing the corrupt political system, etc. It is about addiction though, if you're busy looking to score or have no money to do anything else because of it, you're probably not going to be out there fighting corruption. I have felt guilty about that, it's a waste of knowledge and a shame.

  • actually the song is about drugs AND the nwo. They ship in the hard core drugs and look the other way with prescription drugs and openly push psychiatric drugs that put you in a stupor and numb you to the outside world, where all the frightening things are occurring (not an accident of history either, from what I have observed). The technocratic class then abuses the sleeping sheep by scaremongering them for political gain and authoritarian control. We could be the last sentient generation...

  • NICK DIAZ BEST IN THE WORLD! Most exciting fighter in the game today! GSP cant run in circles from Nick Diaz! FUCK GSP most boring fighter in the game! Quote that mf!

  • "He's gonna be champion for a few months if he wins the fight but as soon as I get back I'm gonna put my hands on him and he's gonna be done" - Georges St-Pierre

  • The last minute and a half of this song fuckin blows me away

  • Don't be scared. homie.

  • where you at george?!

  • Thanks to the constant screaming of keyboard warrior consprifags, every time I read the word "Sheeple" I must seriously refrain myself from flying into a bloodthristy, demonic rage.

  • UFC Primetime.

  • @SpideyFan1993 NICK FKIN DIAZ!!

  • @SpideyFan1993 The message in this song is not appropriate for UFC at all...

  • 90.5 the edge led me here

  • Wake up sheeple!

  • Thank  God for MAYNARD!!!!

  • i count sheep to the rhythm of the wardrobe all the time. i love this song!

  • Sounds to me like a father comforting his child after he's woken from a bad dream. Mine died when he I was too little so I guess that's my view of this open song.

  • I can't stop listening to this song....I have the first APC album....never got into this one until now....

  • this music helps me .

  • MJK says that it is up to the listener to make their mind (concerning the lyrics). It will be different for everyone. The song as a whole is awesome either way.

  • I could care less about what the song is about, and more about how awesome it is.

  • the song your searching for is dark horses by switchfoot. :P

  • @C00LZ0RZZZ wow i was looking for that song then, by chance i find your comment

  • APC's best song....

  • sounds like our federal government telling us not to worry, they will protect us from the boogeymen (Al C I A Duh). 

  • Beautifully dark. 

  • This sounds like a pedophile singing to a girl he has locked up in his basement.

  • epic, just epic!

  • Song rocks

  • i fail to see when 9999poppy said "american race"...

  • read books you ignorant fucks.

  • Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order, right guys?

  • This whole album kicks ass.

  • In this new world

  • He has a point though, America blows xD I fucking hate my country.

  • @TH3xxS0RR0Wxx19 Then you need to be the reason people love America. Hatefulness and bitterness is just as bad as corporate greed and fakeness.

  • @TH3xxS0RR0Wxx19 So where would you rather live?

  • @dbzluva987654321 Honestly, I don't want to leave. My previous comment was kinda vague. I love the ideals my country was built on, but I hate what corrupt politicians have made my beloved America into. I can't see myself anywhere else permanently, this is my home ya know?

  • @TH3xxS0RR0Wxx19 nicely put.

  • I actually sing this song as a lullaby for my nephew when he can't sleep. Although, the one I sing is a bit more appropriate. It really is a nice melody for a lullaby.

  • @ctoadtman

    The fact that you assume all Americans are stupid is, in fact, racism. Keep your nasty thoughts to yourself.

  • @9999poppy Im american, and im pissed. I hate the fed, and wanna vote PAUL.

    Make me stupid?

  • @9999poppy ..'American' isn't a race. And white, heterosexual American males can't be discriminated against or systematically oppressed, either.

  • @Fuffuster I lot can happen to change a society. In the future you may be eating crow.

  • @9999poppy No, that's just a stereotype, being American isn't a race, mind you.

  • @9999poppy haha, when did America become a race?

  • @9999poppy Your comment is ironic in a cute, stupid kind of way.

  • @9999poppy American isn't a race.

  • @9999poppy It's not racism, it's prejudice. There's a difference.

  • @mskaitlinnn Finally, a smart-typing person on Youtube!

  • @mskaitlinnn either or, you can make jokes from em.

    speaking of, so, two jews walk into a bar.....

  • i always thought it personified the nanny state sheltering the ignorant from the riots and terror that happens in the world... Like America.

  • keep your head down go to sleep! to the rhythm of the war drums

  • IF I HEAR ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THE ILLUMINATI IM GOING TO THROW UP. He could just be WARNING us of where we coul go if corrupt people get in control, not saying THIS WILL HAPPEN.

    If they were really the most powerful/rich people on the planet, how come they haven't already 'taken over'?

    Hehe, sorry for rant. Awe-some song.

  • @9999poppy Okay........ how bout that federal reserve?? I hear they are going to Fu*^ us some MORE!!!

  • @9999poppy They actually are starting to take over right now with this SOPA thing

  • @9999poppy

    I love you now.

  • go back to sleep

  • This is a VERY straight forward song. It's not ambiguous, and it's definitely not about heroine. "Swaying to the rhythm of the new world Order..." He couldn't be hitting you over the head any harder with this one. If he said in an interview that the song was about a drug, then it was his comment in the interview that was a metaphor: about the addictiveness of all the comforting lies we like to believe. Listen to the whole song. The meaning is obvious.

  • @Astaroth1221 as much as you may think thats the meaning of it he said it was a drug talking to an addict for all you know it could be the addict blurting that out as if he was the smartest guy alive. I dont think your completely wrong i just think that you have a deeper connection with the song and you interpret it your way other then the actually song writers way which is all good because it allows you to think

  • Comment removed

  • this song is not about the holocaust. this is about the coming NEW WORLD ORDER. and how stupid and ignorant (asleep) americans are. "Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,Go back to sleep" "Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order" "The evil ones Don't love you son, Go back to sleep" "The boogeymen are coming" pretty obvious shit but it doesnt surprise me that stupid americans would think this is about the HOLOCAUST lol.

  • @ctoedtman I think the guy that suggested it being about the holocaust was only refferring to the line "counting bodies like sheep to the rythm of war drums" and the rest of the song was about nazi germany in general, which fits the lyrics quite well. You could pretty much pick any government that tries to keep it's citizens in the dark and distort their views and the lyrics would fit for it.

  • @alexandermcarthy-- well said

  • best song

  • Love this version AND the first one I heard, Counting Bodies Like Sheep. :D

  • @VerchielxKanda pretty sure pet came out first

  • i just love their music in general i found this song and would spend hours withit on repeatin my room untill it had no ending or begining burning incense and drifting int my own universe thats the wa music should be a meaning to all and never the same meaning

  • they dont give a fuck about you...like i do

  • Hope my neighbors like this.

  • @Janemetalcat798 Hope you dont always use comments you see on other videos. I bet you leave dislike comments too

  • @ToadsMGodes I don't.

  • boogeyman probably meant an imaginary monster or enemy.

    

  • a burger? you're an idiot.......

  • Warning Listening to this song before bed will cause you to not go to bed.

  • The NDAA is in effect. Enjoy your stay in one of the many concentration camps. :D

  • @LoveSteroid Oh lord here we go... We've got another nut job

  • @ToadsMGodes I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

  • @LoveSteroid I like your response. I'm certain we will not be thrown into concentration camps.

  • and i think its more evident in the line "Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do."

    this song is a father/mother figure (government) telling us that we should fear the boogeyman (perhaps terrorists) and that we are protected by the government (in creating the Patriot Act, Homeland Security Dept., etc.) so to not worry or think about it b/c its all in their hands. go back to sleep.

  • @cmdny11 I think you have it down with that one man, Also the new world order can in no way have much to do with heroin. He says "I'll be the one to protect you son, from your enemies and your choices son, one in the same I must isolate you."

  • the beauty of apc/tool/MJK - they leave their songs vague and open to interpretation of the listener so they can identify with song for themselves. But- i side more on the bush administration's ballsy efforts in keeping us asleep and paying no mind to the rabble all the while we must count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums. it has nothing to do with conspiracy theorists. this is pretty clear to me. And- MJK dedicated this song to Bush.

  • This is my favorite song off Thirteenth Step. This is actually probably my favorite APC song in general. Such a haunting song, it gives me chills.

  • This song is about the Holocaust. His voice is Hitlers and the girl is Germany. Listen to how he lies to her and begs her to stay. He tells her to step away from the window symbolizing the truth and go back to sleep. Hear him talk about counting bodies like sheep (the jews) to the sound of the war drums. It sickens me to hear people deny the holocaust, seriously wake up you sheltered brain washed fucks.

  • @dogkcits999 You're right. :) 

  • @dogkcits999 What holocaust? What jews? Are you like the last surviving jew? Holy fukk man, maybe the boogeyman will come for you, scared much? Dumb fukk.

  • @dogkcits999 Holy shit, amazing how well that fits. Nice observation.

  • @dogkcits999 i thought of that too. i first heard this song in a hetalia music video with germany, (hetalia is an anime with personified nations...) so it had a lot of nazi germany and it was very haunting and creepy! so that made a lot of sense to me... although i think the song could also be referring to anyone with (too much) control over someone else.

    and yeah, people who deny the holocaust are out of their minds.

  • @dogkcits999

    Holy shit. You clever fucking man.

  • @dogkcits999 I think the lyrics is more about how he want to protect his daughter to the world and how it is today, not knowing how the hole world is put together. I think youre right about the window symbolizing the truth, like we are kept from the truth by our coverments. That "counting bodies like sheeps" is we the poeple dying by their hands, volunteers in war etc. to the rythm og the new world order.. but that is my opinion though :)

  • @dogkcits999 Given that the album is all about drugs, addiction and rehab I'm gonna say no. But I see where you're coming from. Interpret how you like.

  • @dogkcits999 This song is not about the holocaust it's an overall reference about the vast brainwashing power that mass media has on a nations population and how a politician or leader (yes including Hitler but also Castro, Bush, Sudam, and many many more) can basically enslave their nations entire population through mass media... think of how everyone has this predetermined idea of the middle east and it's all because of the propaganda fed to us by our government through mass media

  • A VERY chilling song in light of the NDAA that goes into effect Jan 1st 2012... Civil war, here we come!

  • This song, no kidding, made my nose bleed.

  • actually thirteenth step is commonly known as messing around with new comers in the program, fourteenth step is when you hook up with your sponsor.

  • 65 people will be visited by the Boogeyman >:(

  • this song is BAD ASS!!!!!! The remix is good......more heavy but this song is better!!!!!

  • So much better than the remix

  • One thing I've always admired about this band is their word play in a era of music where artist write as if they were shampoo (apply rinse repeat) it's nice to see a band tell stories with their songs that make you think about your own life

  • I always imaine Johnny the Homicidal Maniac when I hear this song, and how he's singing it to Squee.

  • I'm going with the "talking about the government" theory, as much as I'd love it to be about BDSM.

  • No point in arguing the true meaning of the song. The band has said the lyrics mean anything you can put together in your head.

  • yeah they can mean anything you want thats whats great about APC and tool. To me this describes the Bush and Obama Administration.. With the war drums, Safe and ignorant, protect you from the evil ones. boogeymen meaning terrorist... step away from the window, Pay no mind to the rabble go back to sleep.. Don't look at what we are doing, its to make you safe. who was against the Afghan and Iraq war? 13th step refers to the point after completing a recovery program. yeah thats the Album not song

  • This song could be about a fuckin' burger and we don't even know it. .-.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 Hmmm isolate and save you from yourself refers to junk food and not eating it. I see it now. And counting bodies is cardiac arrest victims to be quite honest i'm pulling this out of my asthsma hole

  • @themousemaster Haha! xDD I laughed at that reply!

    I just posted random shit and you made it valid/ have a point.

    Nice, nice.

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 i love replying to random crap with meaning XD

  • @themousemaster Oh, haha! xDD

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 Ignorance is suggested, so that's what you should do.

  • @angi839 You have no humor. Or get sarcasm.

  • @TheLoveNotWar1000 It's hard to know sarcasm without a tone of voice.

  • @angi839 Yes, yes. Just roll wit' the flow.
