"The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming"

1234flutegirl ONE JOB

OF ALL THE SHIT IVE SEEN PEOPLE COMMENT ON ANYWHERE THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST ...MY FAVORITE!!! IM STILL TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT IT AND CRACKING UP EVERY FREAKING TIME...YOU NAILED IT!!!!
1234flutegirl 1/10 would not hire to protect against boogeymen again
The only person who knows what this song is truly about is the one who wrote it. Also, don't berate someone for interpreting it differently. True artists leave their art open to interpretation; that is what makes art art!
+EvilDeeDlivE True but Maynard said himself it is about drug addiction,the whole album is! The 13 step?? come on now its the twelve step program wake up!
We create our own realities. If a baby boomer just hears "stupid noise that isn't as good as The Beatles" then in their reality that's what the song is about. If you follow the breadcrumbs plenty of us know this song is about how the Ego has corrupted and ruined our world. Namaste
EvilDeeDlivE I like Maynard's music because it takes you on a journey, and the journey's different for everyone I guess
EvilDeeDlivE I agree with you.
EvilDeeDlivE I'm pretty sure this whole album is about drug addiction, and this song is the drug speaking to the druggie
Back when I was a kid, my dad would play this to make me fall asleep. 10 years later, after I have completely forgotten about this song, I scroll past this video and remember, "Hey! A Perfect Circle. I remember them!". I put this in and completely indulge myself in nostalgia and good feels. For that, I thank my father.
+Carshneep errr what?
why do I doubt that
realoatmeal
because that would be awful parenting?
+Mick W I fell asleep listening to either Tool or Ministry most nights and I turned out... Oh dear God, you're right.
+Mick W How so ?
I'm almost 55 years old, grew up in the 60s and 70s! Best song lyrically and musically they ever done!!
Mike Drennan agree. it's perfect.
@@anssirepo8180 dude I was formulating the exact same comment in my head before I saw yours.
Every line of this is perfect, has meaning, rhymes, makes sense, and fits within the rest of the song. Not one word is to be taken away!
The music alternates between the war-time rabble and the smooth lullaby you'd sing to a baby, but with an uncomfortable creepy vibe to it. How anyone could overlook this track is beyond me.
For sure
@@InfinityDz wow for sure
@@InfinityDz hit the nail of the head with that one
I can sum up this song in one sentence "shut up and obey me because I know whats best for you."
Hehe
BuT tHe SoNg AkChUAllY MeAnS mY PeRsOnAl OpInIoN
Essentially the Bush and Trump presidencies in a nutshell.
@@theshaydedlotus3128 Certainly not the Clintons or Obamas, who regularly palled around with Bush though, right? Go back to sleep.
In my opinion it is every politician ever, I dont trust those who lie for a career. Also I dont need someone telling me how to live my life, to be my only source of income and resources, and continues a cruel and inhumane system which punishes innocent people and enslaves for their own personal gain. I'm not a sheep or a slave, and friends, I'm wide awake.
1:45-1:50 give me full body chills. Then it goes into the solo with that hard guitar, umfph. 5ish seconds of a song are enough to make my day.
I love this version of the song far more than the remix known as "counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums." I think the tune is just so much darker and smoother. Love it to pieces, man. Thanks for making the video available on mobile devices because I just need this in my life so often 💜
Both are cracked
@@A_cracker14 totally forgot I made that comment LMAO, its been a while, but imo both are pretty solid tracks in their own ways
Read how the comments on this song have changed over time. Some of us knew what it meant all along. Some of us are just figuring it out now. It speaks volumes.
This is the great awakening.
It seems like somebody waking you only to inform you that you are bleeding out and there is nothing that can be done. You have an hour to live, make the most of it.
@@themarsh429 I'm not going down that easy
I have no idea how, but this song used to put me out like a light as a baby. But it had to be at max volume. Still love this song years later
Funny, there’s another comment talking about their dad using it to put him to sleep
"Ignorance is bliss" be the motto of the herd.
His voice is breathtaking. It puts me to sleep. Love it!
A really, really wonderful man played this as I fell asleep on his chest tonight, and maybe I've only known him for a short time but this feeling of safety, comfort, hope, and contentment is making me .. maybe .. fall for him, hard. It's a terrifying, beautiful, awful, incredible feeling.
But your names Matt
@@marcpomaville9429 Gay people exist
Hey, I don't have time to watch, so here are the lyrics:
Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.
Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep
This song hits different in 2023
yup the worlds fucked. but lets just go back to sleep and let it happen. RIP to the human experience
I thought it was heroin singing to the addict who is trying to go clean. Very powerful indeed.
13th step
The song is actually about the mainstream media.
they continue to lie and perpetuate war that we believe is justifiable when it's really for money and power.
The media has many people believing the atrocities that the American government has perpetuated around the world, we're in good faith when it could not be further from the truth. While our government willingly sacrifices untold amount of soldiers lives in the name of wealth and greed.
"Just stay with me safe and ignorant"
"I'll protect you from pain, from truth, from choice, from other poison devils"
"I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason"
He's talking about the mainstream media.
It's really about the television and the media.
What's really ironic is this whole album '13 Step' is about addiction except for just about 1 song which is this one.. this album was out when the Iraq war was going on and Maynard wasnt a fan of Bush, the media etc.. Weak and Powerless now, you could say that ones about Heroin as dunno if anyone ever caught the genius wordplay in a sentence of the lyrics of that song which was, 'Someone feed the monkey, while I dig in search of CHINA-WHITE
WHITE-AS Dracula as I approach the bottom..(kinda hard to dig to China, and China white is Heroin..)
That totally makes sense
This song makes me think so much of my mom, she was abusive, and used to use phrases like I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choises, or they don't care about u like i do, i keep u safe from truth or choice... She also isolate me, and for years i have the feeling of being more a pet than a person
I’m so sorry
Stay with me ignorant
"Swinging to the rhythm of the new world order" yes we are Mr. Maynard.....yes we are......
Straight up
Sad he sold out he's telling people to maskup
@Marissa North weeks before he said that lie he told people he thinks this is all a test #sellout.
@Marissa North he knows its bs he was telling people th-cam.com/video/Hj_bTbfAEsc/w-d-xo.html
>governments, monarchs and corporations are working together to build a world government, for years they have had summits and meetings every year talking about this goal. the CFR and trilateral commission is an example of their power
>hurr it a conspiracy theory
Maybe the general public deserves to get their sh,!t pushed in, but a year of lockdowns forced people to watch their screens and it woke a lot of people up. I don't think they expected that lmao thats why they went on a banning spree, but it was far too late. Don't take the jab.
I know damn well about all the interpretations (addiction, government, everything in between), I’m not stupid, but still I used to sing this to my cat Todd while I held and swayed him around. I sang it out of love. He would purr so damn loud and drape himself over my shoulders. He was such a sweet, clingy mama’s boy. I did everything to keep him happy and ignorant of how bad the outside world is. All of my cats are rescues, so they’d already had a taste of suffering, sadly.
Closing in on two years since he passed, first time listening to this since then. I could save him from everything else, except his own body. I missed this song, but it fucking hurts.
I guess I'm weird. This song touches me so deep somehow, but at the same time it has a calming effect on me. XD
Hey its like, the world is burning, but its okay. It will all be over soon.
@@themarsh429Very much like heroin…
I feel like this song can be interrupted in a number of different ways. I feel like it could be about an abusive relationship or a cult, but that's just my opinion. It's a good song in spite of some massively fucked up lyrics xD
You mean because of them :p
MySerpentine
I think he/she means "be interpreted" instead of "be interrupted".
Yes, and I never implied otherwise
Sundæ Herpaderp i believe its about an abusive relationship, but a lot of people interpret things differently. theres nor right or wrong answer really
This song makes my bacon sizzle.
it took me 6-8 years to find this song again
all i could remember was part of the lyrics to " protect "
just glad i found it finally ahaha
*swaying to the rhythm of the new world order* anyone who doesn't get this reference... shh... go back to sleep my little sheep..
Nothing's ever perfect, you know? Lol. The song is about an enabler keeping a drug addict trapped. The New World Order is the self imposed hell drug addicts keep themselves in. Maynard likes to troll fans like you who think he'd be so literal.
Exactly!
Yes brother fight the globalization
Abso fuckin lutely!
Right
My country's Philharmonic Orchestra made a tribute to MJK music and they played this. The singer dedicated it to his son, it was beautiful
Absolutely love this song, the lyrics are on point and carry weight that vibrates meaning through.
every day these lyrics prove to be more and more true
I don’t think many know what the song really means. I don’t even want to say the word to describe it. Best way to put it would be. Today.
This has become real in a fundamental and resonant voice again. In Russia this time. Who next? Where next? I knew when I was a kid that this was merely the reiteration of the theme of the ages.
@@Heiznwulfwoodworksnothing like getting harvested for energy by lunatics
Only great masters like Pink Floyd and Maynard can explain the oedipous complex with this kind of emotion and sincerity
My opinion of this song is that Maynard is trying to warn us of something....
It's the Government's theme song lol
Tyler Thompson a new Tool album maybe?!? No just kidding that will never come.....
turktalkdude there is a new album coming actually. Fucking finally
For me, being a former addict I think this is about a drug singing to you.
turktalkdude well it did and it’s here lol
...SONG OF THE DAY!!!
A PERFECT CIRCLE - PET (2003)
Esta EXTRAORDINARIA CANCIÓN es mi favorita de la bNd y es que Maynard siempre ha hecho hincapié en prestar más atención a las EMOCIONES que la música provoca en ti que a lo que realmente dice la letra. Esta canción ES SOBRE LA ADICCIÓN A LAS DROGAS, al igual que el álbum completo The Thirteenth Step. ES DECIR; los trece pasos de la adicción. Sobre estar tan atrapado en una adicción que sientes que el mundo ya no es un lugar seguro, que lo único que te protege de los horrores del mundo son las drogas que, en realidad, están arruinando tu vida. 🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿 04/01/2021
2:43 - 3:17 " My favorite part of the song, especially on " Isolate and save you from yourself " ( I'm the sheep that got away, though) ... I think ... O.o'
The black sheep the rare that do not follow the others or their shepherd for they are far from lost and they know it xD fuck the obedient authority kiss ass pussy sheep let them be happy in their ignorance blindly following whatever orders and rules barked at them no questions asked. Fuck the Police, Think for Yourself, Question authority, Go back to sleep.
Song reminds me a lot of my father and the years of tourcher he put me through. Great song ya, but dam, brings me to a certain psychological place I can't quite explain.
Appropriate song for current times
So relevantly perfect
My fav part ,.
"The boogeymen are coming, the boogeymen are coming.........keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums"
If I'm ever in the ufc. This will be my entrance music.
+Zanny Boy i thought about that before. It would either be this song or 10's by Pantera
I interpret these lyrics as humanity is kept in the dark regarding global affairs and agendas, overwhelmed with distractions meant to direct our attention away from the powers at be's business. Caught up in a relentless routine we are forced to uphold while earths people are being slaughtered to claim real estate on a planet meant for all of us to enjoy. Its a bitter pill to swallow but its reality. And sometimes it seems ignoring the obvious is the only way to paint a better picture of how humanity should be ideally . Saving us from ourselves is stopping the unnecessary killing of our own. Its been going on since records were first recorded. Humanities legacy is being written by corrupt powers giving a disgraceful name to us as a whole.
Or, Maynard is well versed in the occult and sings of these things like any other cryptic new age artist. This in regard to one of his songs where you hear his lyrics repeating ''as above, so below'', and that not being the only example. It might well be one of the accompanying songs of a transition into what you describe. Ever since it stopped being ''mankind'', whose flaws and imperfections were admitted and lamented, and instead became ''humanity'' (what is a HU-man anyway?), where there's suddenly the belief that hu-mans are something so noble and virtuous that they can be proud of themselves, because they can instantly change current manure into pure bliss of a future. Well, if that were true, why don't we see this evolved sensibility manifested more often? There was enough time, so why do we keep sliding lower? The daily news are nothing like the brave new world story that's being peddled to us. An answer to that would be that we never rose from our corrupted state of being. But then again, those who think they're in the know say that we always need conflict in order to advance as a species. Which is rubbish, but that's what keeps getting played on the planetary chessboard. All so there's a readymade excuse when there's more devastating wars that happen worldwide.
Its sad how a good portion of the masses so readily follow suite and disregard their surroundings. I think our decline as a species is due to multiple things. Lowered curriculum in schools is the base for playing right into the systems hand. Dumbing a bunch of us down to eventually be the ultimate future work force doing the dirty work while corporations pile their riches. Things like fluoride in the water is known to callous the brains pineal gland "The minds eye" without it we lose our ability to dream, intern leaving us more prone to being led in a false direction with little to no questioning. While the powers at be strip our planet of resources, leaving death and misery in their wake staying ready and willing to sacrifice their own people to attain the power that comes with controlling it. Honestly, using fossil fuels as our main source of energy is retarded to me. The dawn of the industrial revolution is where oil tycoons let greed take over, the decision was made to use oil for everything knowing it would eventually run dry but not in their lifetime so earth and its peoples longevity was ignored. Current society is a carefully calculated system aimed toward pushing us into a world where what they provide is a falsely represented necessity. Like in the song "The humbling river" by puscifer "It'll take a lot more than words and guns, A whole lot more than riches and muscle, the hands of the many must join as one, and together we'll cross the river" In the last 100 years we have witnessed an unbelievable amount of progress in technology and industry, sending our planet into a downward spiral and taking it for granted instead of being responsible beings of this world we choose the path of self destruction just as those b4 us did. When will we break this cycle?
Your right in what you say brother. The powers at be are working behind the scenes to completely consolidate their power.The so sad thing about our people is that they can't or won't see that the U.S. has simply become the military arm of the super rich. Most of the conflicts we enter into now is because theirs something worth Billions there that the Elite want. The wars today are an Oil Grab. We are not threatened by Iraq or Afghanistan, and they are trying so hard to bait Iran. This is a move through the middle east and they will decide soon enough that they have enough power and will work for the World Government. One of the reasons the Fed is complicit in destroying our world financially, is that they know that if they destroy our currency their will be mass panic. When that happens, the powers that be will hit the airwaves which they control 96 percent of and tell us of the Marvelous new plan of a one world currency so this never happens again.... yeah right. Unless we wake up and begin to challenge them the status quo will never change. We need to be OUT of any other warzone and worry about us. If we fed and clothed our hungry and destitute and built s strong infrastructure, I mean heck they could pay all the out of work people (assuming 30 M) 50k a year to build up and strengthen the infrastructure and that would only be 1.5 trillion. Shut down that war and you got it. Until people say ENOUGH of this bs, lets worry about us, this nation, which could be the greatest will continue down the tubes. Im aware that's simplistic, there are several other problem areas, but that one is so big and easy to solve.
We have been fed lies for years. The values that we hold today are false, fed to us since your old enough to watch t.v. It was figured out long ago, if you repeat something enough, people will begin to believe. The movie the Matrix was no joke, and on a subconscious level I truly believe its why it was so popular. We are in a world created for us by the few SUPER-Rich who figured out long ago, that it does NOT matter who is in charge of a country as long as they control the money. Our Fed is a prime example. I mean how the hell does a nation like ours allow the illegal creation of a privately owned institution that prints our money. They pay themselves the interest on all that money and all your tax dollars go to fund this crap. The Fed is at least 1/3 held by non-americans. Check out what Lincoln and Jefferson said about the Foreign Banking interests, the people in true power. With regards to the false values, we are taught CONSUME, consume, consume. While you might feel good for a day or so that you have the coolest phone ever, does that really make you happy? Things don't make people happy. Its living in harmony with the world and being with and taking care of and spending time with those you love. Not this narcissistic, all that matters is me. What civilization wouldn't be brought to its knees with several million people care nothing for their fellow man, watch out only for number 1, and believe happiness is how much you make and what toys you can buy. Civilizations of people only survive when the people work together for the betterment of all and take care of one another. Unfortunately we are caught in some very powerful and smart peoples wen and it can be an endless whole of crap. However deep in my heart I hope maybe someday soon, people will begin to see.
BTW meant to say totally agree that's what they are singing about and may have been influenced just a bit by the late great Bill Hicks. He saw the world for what it was and was good friends with Tool and Maynard and Billy knew him pretty well. God Bless to all, love your family, neighbors, and the world. If you know what's going on, try to enlighten as many as you can gently. After all, the worst thing for them would be a united people that won't let the game be played on us anymore.
That's what I feel my purpose on earth is to do. Thank man your great. Thanks for sharing. The more eyes we open, the more powerful humanities grand webb of awesome becomes.
jack blankenship Grand web of awesome, sounds like another empty promise to get caught on. The real eye opener would be if people realized that the motives behind the grand scheme are different from those the public perceives. People in power don't play monopoly-type table games like we understand. To them, tanks, guns, money and political machinations are just means to an end. Something that is being used to frighten people into submission. Fear of losing own life, fear of losing property, acceptance of society and similar. It can be seen clearly throughout the published works of the so-called philosophers that are also present behind this globalist madness (though real study is not necessary because the folly of their thinking can be seen thru very early on): theirs is a spiritual agenda. Alex mentioned Bill Hicks, well Bill was conveying a spiritual message- awareness, uplift, doing away with the trivial and embracing genuine enlightenment, enabling a person to see the unadulterated truth instead of a convoluted substitute. Fear is being used against us, and is also a spiritual notion. Failing to realize there's a level above what they perceive is what's keeping the people from effecting the desired true change, and keeping them trapped in a circle of trying to re-use the same things that are being used against them, when all the while those are not the things that can achieve change. Mao said that power grows out the barrel of a gun, well he conveniently concealed that in reality it's the hand that holds that gun and its trigger that has the power. But people don't seem to realize that even today and so they do as they're conditioned to. Volunteers to the army, who think that their seemingly patriotic, but in truth misguided service will change anything, are an example. You can't shout in a fight and expect the other person to calm down. No, what it takes is the recognition that perhaps it's not even in our power to change something we didn't create and don't even fully understand. Those of us that believe in God are confronted with this possibility and shaken from the romantic notion that ''if we just step together, it'll somehow all be fine, in time it will all go away''. Well, history teaches on numerous accounts that distress might bring people together, but it is not for long. There's too many differences that prevent this after a while, if all one counts on are the loose and shaky foundations of the nature of man in peril. And it is this nature which will shine thru in all its weakness, double milling stone around our necks- hate and pride. Then, only God which is Christ can help offset it with everlasting respect and humility. Since he is the one struggling and not us, it can be no other way. We're here as agents that do our assigned duties, but we do not adjudicate in the end. Otherwise, somewhere, at some point in time, our struggle would have been over completely. Hope the message gets to you on the level it's intended, but like I wrote; in the end it's not up to me, nor does it matter that much.

Dude! This is giving me hypnosis/brainwashing vibes and I love it!
This song is AMAZING!!! I mean, I listen to this song all day and night!
Best song ever... i have known of this song since the first week i was on youtube, i was only 9 or so then and i have listened to this song when i didn't even have a account. I looked up this song this night and i feel wAay more care free for a little while befor i go to middle school this September. Will always love this song ^_^ ♥♥♥♥♥
My mistake, i meant August not September but why should i care? At least I'll be back with friends at school. Good night/day wherever you live at the time you read this.
I will NEVER get tired of this song.
I believe that this song is about him knowing some horrible truth about the world and is begging someone he loves to stop looking. To stay ignorant...
If you think about it, it makes a lot of fucking sence.
Karlee Hayes same thing I thought
I saw A Perfect Circle in San Antonio a few years ago, they were awesome!!
🤘🏻🤩 👉🏻 I'm back nine months later a dude so pensive he needs three bands 🤘🏻that's the jam
People missinterpretate this song a lot, this song is about addiction, from this point of view it's almost like it's the drug talking to the user, this whole album was made to talk about addiction, that's why its called thirteen steps, and MJK himself says that this album was very inspired by Layne Staley, who died from heroin OD
I really thought this was a remixed version of count bodies like sheep but thank god for lyric finder.
+Abbadon the Destroyer Close, other way around
this is one of my FAVORITE songs
This reminds me of trying to awaken from a nightmare. I like the dark edge to the dissonant guitar.
Yeah, that guitar is my favorite part of the song. It's warped and distorted like something from a nightmare... sounds awesome.
What I honestly think about the lyrics: a mother/father protecting his son by a night (sleep time for kid) land assault from enemy soldiers (the boogiemen) and trying to make their child to go sleep, ignoring what they are saying (politic/religion). The relatives will protect the child at their life cost.
the lyrics give me chills
I see a vision of a handler and their pet!! 💜💜💜
You mean Trump and his cult followers? I agree.
This track is so badass. Sounds political. I discovered this track in 2020. ❤❤❤❤
Maynard has the coolest vocals.
After a cult documentary bender, this song now has another meaning for me.
(LOVE THIS SONG!)
_safe annnnd.... _*_ignorant..._*
I dedicate this one to my son, Steve 3.
Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you
Like I do
Like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils
See they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
One and the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drum
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep
I am surrounded by pets
So many that they branched this off to a whole different song!
Woof
*confuzzled rat noises*
I really love how people interpret this song as being WW2 related
3:18 is my absolute favorite part
una autentica obra maestra de la musica , y más si tenemos en cuenta counting bodyes
Si está te gustó te recomiendo "The Outsider" si es que no la has escuchado aún....
@@shanewalsh620 si claro,, todo de tool y perfect circle,, y creo que la mayoria de puscifer
God, this is so much better than that weird, repetitive remix they did on eMOTIVe.
they had some alright songs on there but alot of it was quite repetitive haha.
Indeed and sadly the remix is what gets the airplay where I'm from. I feel this version of the song more effectively express' it's message and that makes it all the more a damn shame.
shiva0 Maynard flat out said that it wasn't a remix. I love that version of this song, too, though.
It wasn't a remix. They said themselves that it was the official sequel to this song.
Awesome i love this song so much😍😍😍😍😍
Love this song, good job.
This whole album is about addiction from different view points this song is about someone enabling an addict by trying to keep them from their addiction when they need to face it in order to get better the war drums is the addiction in their mind untreated
or maybe it's about us fucking killing everyone well nobody gives a fuck and votes for Trump.
@@majorbeef9394 oddly enough the first president in the last 4 to not deploy troops anywhere new
my mom sang this to me when i was little :).... well more in a lullaby tone,but still the same words ;p
Cool I knew this one person who used to sing lateralus to her baby boy.
me when I'm a mom
"They don't give a fuck about you..."
I bet you're messed up
and she made an obedient worker out of you xD
The world's government's to the people during this Coronavirus shit
Jeez, after being so used to hearing the remix, this is kind of unusual...but I like it all the same. c:
Love this song to death
my fav song ever.
Are you people for real? This song is 100% about the ameican government and how they have brainwashed all of its citizens. Every single word! Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order! The boogeyman is "terrorist groups that are often fake or at least the treat is." The window is a metaphor for the outside world. I never feel the need to lay things out like this but the discussion here is so far off base and this song so perfectly puts into words how they view their people as pets and their attitude towards humanity.
Rather the global government the wears a mask of it's host government.

Its not about any government, its about a "NEW WORLD ORDER". That's why they use the exact words NEW WORLD ORDER. The fuck is with people like you? Wake up
Actually it could really be about any government. Anyway I love all the metaphors used in this song like "go back to sleep" for stop questioning and enjoy your controlled life or something. The song also reminds me of the book "brave new world" and the people there taking soma not to have to think our decide but I don't think the song was intended to be about this book
I agree with you. What you describe is applicable to any government. Heck, it could even be applied to an overprotective parent.
Yeah there are plenty of interpretations. But lines like " swayin to the rythm of the new world order" or "
counting bodies like sheep to the rythm of the war drums" suggest that its really somehow about a government.
But I'm still not quite sure about the " boogeymen"... They could stand for terrorists lieke Jamie pulen said in the original comment, but i think they could also stand for the few voices of reason inside this government, that the government doesnt want its people to listen to. Any further ideas?
This is my lullaby...
Is it bad that I'd sing this to my kid?

+Rose Silverfang (Daughter of Krampus) i would
i dont have kids and thats all i think about sooo ^^ glad i wasnt the only 1
+Rose Silverfang (Daughter of Krampus) considering this song is about a Dom/sub relationship, yes. it is.
xXPaganxMaidenXx, I simply find this to be a lullaby. And if sung without the background music, I find it to be very relaxing. That's why I want to use this as a lullaby.
Rose Sylvor It's wonderfull! My mum was singing me queen's songs...
After hearing about the amount of COVID deniers in America, seeing the capitol siege on tv, and the evangelicals losing their minds about the election, this song is appropriate.
I love listening to this song after listening to Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rythym Of The War Drums
I too fall asleep like a baby *while listening to the war drums*
My favorite part is when the lyrics sort of mix but still have a lot of meaning at 3:37
that's my favorite part!
+Oliver Vanderkuip My favorite part is 0:00 through 4:33
i love this song, but the lyrics make me think that the point of view is from an insane dad or something. XD
Go back to sleep.
i think its about the government, and fear tactics could be wrong but that what i thought
that's exactly the point dude
He has been abused. Remember.
When 13th Step was released, there was potential WW3. So I look at Maynard's perspective as a song writer and artist. Thank whoever that we didn't unleash the beast of war again. Great song, lyrics, drums... 10/10
I always interpreted this song as Maynard mocking religion for putting the masses in a state of ignorance while simultaneously getting them stirred up against each other and the fear of a larger conspiracy of world government. I believe Maynard wants this global communism but without the meddling of radical belief systems of religion, and I also believe this to be an impossibility since we'll inevitably destroy each other over our differences in belief whether they are real or imagined. Faith is powerful and not everyone shares the same belief in faith and governments prey on people's superstitions to sway public opinion and produce the next zeitgeist over time through carefully mediated messages and subconscious manipulation.
Aha Maynard doesn't like communism, he's independent
All I hear is "I'm a commie"
@@marcpomaville9429 hopefully referring to the song and not me. I'm a Christian libertarian and loathe communism.
Amazing song.... I will forever mosh to this in my lounge room with the Boogey Men!. BAAAAACK TO SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
So true!!!!!!
This song is about exactly what u think its about...
relevant now more than ever
Tiffany Jean what wars has the president started since his presidency. Name one
This song is so much better than Counting Bodies Like Sheep.. I kept looking for this, and kept finding that fucking song, which is good in it's own right, but damn, this is just so much more sensitive and meaningful imo..
I will play this for my child as a sleeping song

+Motkoo Dikfuk Pet
i love the lyrics to this song
I love this song
Perhaps an out there theory, but I think the song is about addiction, which is the theme of the album. The narrator is the drug, keeping the person using them safe from pain, and truth, and choice. The boogeyman could be people trying to get the person off drugs. And in regards to "counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums", to me that references the war on drugs, and the drugs are counting the people they've killed to the rhythm of the war drums of the war on drugs. Maybe that's out there, but I haven't seen anyone else post that, so I figured I'd see what y'all thought.
so people know there is 2 versions of this song....one of them is called pet by a perfect circle and counting bodies like sheep by a perfect circle
To add to my last comment, the eighties as a whole sucked! Longed for the art of rock and music in general, then the 90s came. After I thought I was going to become old fashioned like my father cause music became corporate bullshit, here came the 90s! What a great artistic period for Rock!! Many great bands were allowed to be artistic again!! But now, here we go again!!😞
at least in the eighties you had Metallica
Fits our current situation perfectly...
gotta say i prefer counting bodies to this version
Fighting against the demons inside of me. Continue to fight until they vanish away from me.
Lest time was pre-katrina......seeing this band ....2004 Dallas....Mockingbird Lane _ Granada Theater
