  • I think this song is about a man who dies a hero, but was actually a bad person, and the singer is looking over his body saying, you dont deserve all your honor, you are an arsehole, and I want you to stand now and face me

  • @rockstargamer97 nigga this songs about John Constantine

  • @rockstargamer97 i think hes talking about a woman that's dead to him.

  • died

    

  • @analagony altho your name is hilarious hicks dide before aenema was made it was a tribute to him

  • MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN and TOOL brought me here

    iv'e never payed attention to constantine

    and i didn't know this song existed .

  • passive aggressive bullshit

  • Maynard is singing this song to a dead guy, Hes angry that the guy died, and he wants him back to life (why cant you turn and face), When he says You disappoint me, its because he didnt want the guy to die. Hes angry at himself and very sad

  • @Talamare2 I wouldn't take it at a literal perspective, myself. It could be very metaphorical. But then again it's up to us to find our own meaning to it. But it is a great observation on your part. It might possibly be someone with cancer or something terminal like that. Who knows but Maynard himself?

  • For all of the people just now finding out about this band because of Rage. You all should check out the band Tool. It has the same singer (Maynard) and is VERY good..if not better.

  • @PhatBacon123 And if they've heard of Tool but not Puscifer, they should check out them too.. Maynard being the leader, as well as singer, of each band respectively.

    But APC is my favorite. :x

  • @PhatBacon123 yeah, I heard tool ages ago, but no APC until rage

  • @rockstargamer97 same, I think the first time I heard tool was parabola in guitar hero world tour

  • if it wasnt 4 rage id never have come 2 love this band

    if not 4 rage not many ppl wood kno about this....maybe

  • @moneybadger3 I wouldnt say that not many people knew of this bad, but rage definitely opened many people's eyes to them thats for sure

  • Maynard obviously listens to BILL HICKS..... "IT'S YOUR RIDE" n your ability to become my perfect enemey

  • @analagony Maynard actually knew Hicks listen to tool's Aenima Album

  • I like the beginning of this song!

  • Imagine if he's singing to god or something? Could be 'the devil' crying out for him to show his face when he commits evil. Trying to push the limits. Because he want to look the one who cast him down into the eyes. Kinda. Like a metaphor or something. Just a random thought! :L (Not that I'm especially religious or anything, think of it as symbolic. I think the bible is meant to be all metaphors anyways.)

  • so first i thought "hey it's tool" then i said "hey it's pusifer" nope. nope. both wrong it's freaking maynard xD.

  • Thumbs up if you watched Constantine!

  • you all fucking disappoint me....

  • @CyanoticFuture Yes because I appoint myself... AS KING!

  • At 2:30, I became a great red dragon.

  • 17 people fucking disappoint me.....

  • My Government fucking disappoints me.

  • @TurnToJesus1 alot of fucking ass holes with suits on

  • Passive agressive bullshit!!!

  • most of the album is original. there is only one cover on it -.-

  • @Kudblythe3 People Are People, cover. Imagine, cover. CBLSTTROTWD, remix of Pet. When The Levee Breaks, cover. Annihilation, cover. What's Going On and Freedom of Choice, I'm not sure. This is a cover album. CBLSTTROTWD is the closest to an original song as you're going to get on this album.

  • @GiGaPLExxx128 well what about this song? i know it was intended for the side project with trent reznor but this is an original song too.

  • @Kudblythe3 The point was, you were incorrect. :P There's more than 1 cover on it.

  • @GiGaPLExxx128 thanks for clearing up that i was wrong -.- :p

  • @Kudblythe3 I think you were thinking of their album Mer De Noms.

  • @GiGaPLExxx128 maybe lol. my favorite album is thirteenth step anyway

  • the day i walk into a club and this song starts immediately playing i'll probably say something like "Whooaa!"

  • Funny thing is...this song was in Constantine. But it's all about kids finding this band from Rage. If you like APC, I'd look up Tool as well. Same lead singer.

  • Among the so many different and diverse heart wrenching, pulse pounding, deeply moving songs out there, Passive ranks among the best songs ever created!

    Don't play dead, because maybe someday I will walk away

    and say, you fucking disappoint me. Maybe you're better off this way...  WAKE UP!

    WHY CAN"T YOU TURN AND FACE ME? YOU FUCKING DISAPPOINT ME!

  • its funny how people talk about Tool on apc videos but people dont talk about apc on Tool videos

  • Im sick of people sayin , "oh rage showed you APC, so your a looser" all that should matter is how good this song is, its amazing, why does it matter if rage made me a fan.

  • @rockstargamer97 95% of the people who listen to tool and APC are like vegans. if you dont believe or do the things the way they do them/discover them you are an infidel. but we 5% are glad more and more people are listening

  • Comment removed

  • @rockstargamer97 because this whole album was based around peace, and you started listening to it from some dumbass video game

  • @oftenlostinwhat SO?!?!?! its not my fault I saw this on a fuckin trailer on tv!!! besides, I thought fans of APC would be happy, cus given them a lot more recognition!

  • @rockstargamer97 Don't worry about the moron who is trying to force higher ideals down others throats. Prolly feeling butthurt that his favourite artists "sold out" and is now crying in his cave beneath his grandparent's house.

  • @rockstargamer97 what rage what now?

  • @rockstargamer97 ...whats rage?

  • @thedeepestgray1991 its an accion video game for console and PC, an APC song appeared on the trailer and loads of APC fan boys said that if that trailer was the first time that you heard an APC song then you are a loser

  • @rockstargamer97 couldn't agree more, Musicians need to get fans from somewhere, I found APC from Tool and Tool from my drum tutor. Everyone has there own way of finding a band. Unless they're a member of APC they need to shut up.

  • @rockstargamer97 I've never seen Rage, "Constantine" introduced this song to me, and I've loved it ever since!!!" :)

  • @rockstargamer97 Is Rage a movie?

  • @godroxdahowse Nevermind, I just YouTube'd it, saw the Video Game trailer, looks incredible, love hoe they edited "Counting Bodies..." with it!

  • @godroxdahowse no m ate, its a videogame, and to be honest, a pretty bad one

  • @rockstargamer97 completaly agree, it was a bad game, well, not bad but, very overrated and dissapointing

  • @rockstargamer97

    I hate that Rage used the song because i Really didn't like that game. Though because i work at GameStop i got to hear it a bit. So fuck y'all, i was tokin to that song before concept art was made for that shit game.

  • pure amazing....you dont need drugs when you have stuff like this

  • amazing song!!

    17 people don't know good music.. -_-

  • @SparxFire131 California dont know good music!!

  • why isent every APC song at a million views??

    this planet sucks.

  • This is gorgeous.

  • Thank you for posting!!!!!!

  • someday is today

  • Trent...why didn't you finish this goddamn you! :D

  • 17 people fucking disappoint me

    17 people are dead as dead can be

    17 people are my perfect enemy

    17 people are playing dead

    17 people cant turn and face me

    Maybe 17 people are better off this way...

  • @BTMFxKnightmare Best # people are.. comment ever.

  • By the way, that's supposed to be "Why can't you", not "we'll catch you". Just thought I should point that out. Although what you put actually kinda seems to make sense...

  • APC, TOOL, AND PUSCIFER FTW!

  • Tool, APC and Puscifer are simply perfect .

    Thumbs up if you agree

  • @Brunometalhead Stop whoring people off for "thumbs up" damn it! It's parasitic.

  • YOU FUCKING DISAPPOINT ME!! Maybe you're better off this way!

  • @StormyK2011 screams right out of me...

    funny, a million ppl feel this way - obviously :P

  • love this song welcome to my life...

  • i just pooped.......oh by the way, Wow! this song is touching

  • Maybe you all ARE better off this way, arguing about others opinions..... wow

    passive aggressive bullshit indeed.

  • CONSTANTINE!!!  I loved this song in that movie

  • This song is the shit.

  • And yh its because i meant to use mobile spell check

  • I can you mug thats How i know your dumb if you feel that you need to say that to feel Smart stop chatting shit and get a job

  • you fucking disappoint me!!

  • If you can't view things from multiple angles, I consider you an idiot. Music is there for entertainment. Genres exist to entertain all, not just a particular group. All people are different. You can't associate an entire genre of music to one type of person. Some rap is actually, genuinely good, whereas most of it is terrible (IMO). Learn to think for yourselves people. Having knowledge is easy, but being able to process information... Not many can do.

  • Your dumb for saying dumb people like rap coz i like rap music and i had a masters in computer science

  • @TheKingArmz But you don't know how to spell cause....

  • i remember listening to this song one day and right when 0:45 hit, one word popped into my head..."TOOL!"

  • 15 people dissapoint me

  • if u guys like APC or Tool, you should check out MandalaSkies they are pretty cool!

  • "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UUP... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UUUP... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE UP... You F.CKIN' DISAPPOINT ME... "

    Like the guitariste back singing and Maynard awsome voice finish the song.

  • i love perfect circle and tool their so unique and fucken badass

  • I didn't know the band, I just listened the song and thought it was not so good. I was boring etc..

    But at 2:43 ... MY GOD ! I will buy this motherfucking album !

  • I would like to take this time out of my life & dedicate this song to my ex. For the utmost PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE BULLSHIT he has said & done to me. After each which he apologized for & continually did. I responded at most in the manner I know is the only best option possible. That was calm & good-willed still. However, I am a human being too with feelings & Idgaf now about the different shades of our souls. When he apologized it was in repent to the hurtful things he'd say. Yet he did over again.

  • Don't you hate when they censor the "You fuckin' disappoint me" part of this song?

  • 12 people weren't better off this way:D

  • @TheKtuluskall

    There is a point where this needs to stop and we all have clearly passed it.

  • I like this song because the anger in his voice builds as it progresses.

  • hey do any of you know if this is off a movie, or game or show.. It just sounds so familiar but i dont know!

  • @physic3 this song is from the movie Constantine

  • @checkeredfreak14 awesome movie

  • @DarkestofTimes It was a awesome movie.

  • I love this band.

    They're SO tallented, and allthough I love their own lyrics, I think that their coversongs are totally awesome as well!!

  • @1630RevelloDrive2 Like Imagine? What other cover songs are there in this band? I know of No Quarter from Tool, but that's not this band.

  • @TearsOfWar1 All of this album are covers and mixes except for this song and "Counting Sheep..." which Maynard apparently insists is a continuation of Pet and not just a mix.

  • @TearsOfWar1 This album - emotive - is all cover songs. All but two, and that's this one and Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The Wardrums.

  • @1630RevelloDrive2 Ah, maybe that's why my favorites are the only two that are not covers and imagine.

  • @1630RevelloDrive2 Who did the original version of this?

  • @GeistvonWut Passive is an original. If that's what you're referring to.

  • @MyThirdEye46x2 I thought this entire album was a bunch of covers. lol

  • @GeistvonWut Haha every song on the album is a cover except Passive and Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums

  • @MyThirdEye46x2 I was wondering why I couldn't find their originals. I just thought Counting Bodies was more or less linked to Pet. Couldn't think of anything for this song, though. (I just love how I was still watching this video when you replied.)

  • @GeistvonWut Yeah, Counting Bodies is like a remix of Pet. Haha yeah, this song is amazing. Whole album is, really. Some people dislike their cover of Imagine. I love it though.

  • @MyThirdEye46x2 Ach, people are either biased or have no taste

  • @GeistvonWut It was adapted from the defunct band Tapeworm, a project composed mainly of Keenan, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and Danny Lohner. It first appeared under the title "Vacant" at a show played by A Perfect Circle in Portland, Oregon on January 31, 2001, notably, without the blessing of Reznor to play the song.The song remained unreleased by any artist until it appeared on Emotive

  • @1630RevelloDrive2 I heard about tapeworm. So was this one of the reasons they never formed, because Maynard pissed that guy off?

  • @GeistvonWut From memory Maynard realized it wasn't going to get the go ahead by the record companies and so took the material he had been working on and published it himself. I hear it did cause abit of a stir between them but with Trent appearing on a Pucifer song I don't think it was serious.

  • @Luciffrit That makes sense. And maybe they made up since then, if they did break up because of it.

  • @ICHOYERO YOU WISH I WAS A FAG. THIS BAND IS ABOUT AS GAY AS LADY GAGA.

  • @vivalafiends Geniuses don't type in all caps, aren't ignorant, and, well, aren't like you in any way.

  • @harassed THIS BAND IS FOR MENTALLY RETARDED EMO KIDS AND IF YOURE A GENIUS LIKE MYSELF YOU DONT WASTE YOUR TIME LISTENING TO BULLSHIT LIKE THIS.

  • @vivalafiends you are the coolest person i know...

  • @vivalafiends troll much?

  • @vivalafiends What the hell is you problem? IF you don't like the music of this band why are you even commenting on it? You would think a "Genius" like yourself would know even that.

  • HAIL MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN. and reach out if your cup be empty..

  • @ICHOYERO LIKE I CARE IF I DISSAPPOINT A QUEER LIKE YOU. KEEP LISTENING TO THIS BULLSHIT BAND. FAG!

  • @vivalafiends Dude, Go be a fag somewhere else.Go listen to lady gaga

  • THIS FUCKING BAND DISSAPPOINTS ME. THIS BAND SUCKS!!!

  • @vivalafiends YOU FUCKING DISSAPOINT ME, YOU SUCK ON NUTS FOR THE 3 MEALS OF THE DAY!

  • Someday I will walk away and say you disappoint me, maybe you're better off this way.

    Loading ...

  • This song reminds me of an old friend, they would have let me die after saying i meant the world to them... And still took moral high ground on everything and believed they were great after i knew everything they told me was even a lie.... Human pride, how dissapointing.

  • like to finish listening to this ausome song, but got to go kill 11 people! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @harassed09 Thanks for doing smheart people everywhare justass.

  • @harassed09 this band is for smart people? Seriously wtf

    This is for people who like Maynard's voice, I mean seriously If you do not find enjoyment in Maynard's voice then tool is probably where you draw the line. Aye there might be some profound meanings behind the lyrics.

    Smart people music would be considered to be Pink, Zeppelin, classics..... proper technical finesse.

    I'm not hating, its just your comment is completely false

    Constantine brought me here :D

  • @maclef70 well, it wasn't a serious comment; it was light humor. I said so cause this kind of music is deep in lyrics and tune and I praise a person's appreciation of it.

  • @harassed09 Upon reading, Its clear it was in light humour. I must of been in an argumentative mood, apologies. However, I concur good sir! 

    peace and pot

  • @harassed09 lol

  • @harassed09 but if you like it, its not like you're automatically Albert Einstein

    12 people fucking disappoint me and clearly better of this way.

  • @ddeemmoonn I know, yeah. What I meant is that it's smarter to be aware of the dark side of life than to live like there's no such thing as suffering and disappointment. 

  • @harassed09 dude everyone has their own opinions on music and it has a lot more to do with personal taste than it does with intelligence.

  • @harassed09 Nah, that's ridiculous.

  • @harassed09 then thumb it down. I was joking at the time. But it's pretty deep music.

  • @harassed09 no this bands lyrics are for smart people, because some smart people may understand the lyrics but not like the band and not liking a certian band is a personal opinion which can't be based on how smart you are.

  • @wdikolnc111 not necessarily. dumb people like rap music. wouldn't you agree?

  • @harassed09 lol thats one of the most stupids comment ive ever read in youtube :p 

  • @harassed09

    This makes you sound like a person who sports a penis where his brain should be. I guess dickhead wouldv'e worked just as well.

  • @harassed09 15 people cannot draw a perfect circle

  • @harassed09

    While I really like them, that was a really stupid thing to say. Rather ironic really.

  • @HorusHeresy1982 While I really answered to stupid comments like these several times, smart people created atom bombs. Rather ironic really. It's you that's not thinking hard enough. Several others sent me nicer comments so I apologized to them. Vote down as you please; I don't care.

  • 11 people fucking disappoint me.

  • the john constantine. once.

  • "How can one possibly respect the existance of something, people in this case, when that something seems to defy respect? They do such trivial things, and find amusement, even up to "so-called" maturity in the incessant mistreatment of their own kind"-Johnny C.

  • @CyanoticFuture

    Why the hell do people get a fucking highest rated comment for making a brainless quote from the video? Wtf

  • @vivalafiends Needs more Mad Season and Alice in Chains.

    And a broader insight of musical passion it seems.

  • mauvaIS

  • @vivalafiends THIS IS MUSIC, AND THERE IS NO "BETTER" THAN THE NEXT BAND. IT'S MUSIC AND EVERYONE APPRECIATES IT DIFFERENTLY AND THEREFORE ENJOY SOME BANDS MORE THAN OTHERS. IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE COMPETATIVE. TRY LOOKING AT IT FROM THAT ANGLE AND BE MORE OPEN MINDED.

  • @vivalafiends dude...dont hate on bands, its just uncool, i might not perfer certain bands/groups but i dont post unwanted bullshit on there music pages, and also, if u hate APC then why are u looking up there music?

  • @swar2232 that vivalafiends guy posted on half the apc vids what a douche

  • @vivalafiends no its not maynard is still writing lyrics this has the same frontman as tool but with audioslave it was backing members of RATM and chris cornell writing lyrics so the shift between tool and a perfect cricle is not as significant as the one between audioslave and rage against the machine if u dont believe me listen to maggies farm by RATM and then listen to doesnt remind me by audioslave

  • @hefra344

    alright. maynard IS the front man for A Perfect Circle. but not for Tool. There is no front man for Tool. all four are equals. they share consciousness. they're a singular entity.

  • @RossettaStoned91 true and rosetta stoned is my favoirte song too

  • @RossettaStoned91 True 'nuff.

  • @RossettaStoned91 Well put!

  • @RossettaStoned91 I sorta agree.. but I think the guitarist has a lot bigger part in this band than you're leading on

  • @Metalguitarfreak you're right, billy howerdel is the founder of APC. He originally wanted a female singer. When Maynard read the lyrics that Billy wrote, he saw himself singing them.

  • @RossettaStoned91 I kind of agree with you, however, I believe Maynards talent, writing and stage presence make the bands. Tool is a band out of this world for sure. Sent from some part of a different universe creating the most complex and amazing music any band ever has.

  • @RossettaStoned91 my wife and i agree with what you say!!! Tool is awesome and perfect circle is the same

  • @RossettaStoned91 Well explained.

  • @RossettaStoned91 Sure. Maynard, Danny, Adam and...

  • @RossettaStoned91 i saw apc play years ago when they were touring for thirteenth step..billy was playing front and center while maynard was jerking off in the shadows, he sounded just as amazing as he does when he's doing a tool concert, though.

  • @RossettaStoned91 So basically, you're saying that Tool is the musical equivalent of Legion?

    I can live with that. :)

  • AMAZING, A PERFECT CIRCLE, AND TOOL KICK ASS. AND THATS THAT

  • Great song!

  • All right, I'll admit this singer is good, but he will NEVER compare to his twin brother that sings for Tool.

  • @The0bviousTroll lol same guy
