- A Perfect Circle - Judith - With Lyrics
-----
You're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you
Fuck your god
Your lord, your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, never stray, never
Taste of the fruit
Never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you
Pray
To your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break, never
Choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who
Did this to you
Never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ as if He knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
He did it all for you - เพลง

This was before 10,000 days. Maynard wrote this song for his religious mother who was handicapped in a wheel chair. His mothers name was "Judith". She eventually died after 10,000 days of being handicapped, that's when he wrote that album with Tool. Which is unbelievably amazing and so heart wrenching.
That's deep.
that song then became Horizons
Damn. So that's where all those references came from.
wow, I'm glad to see someone else actually knows the mean to the song. kudos LeTina 🤘
LeTina Dunaway this song also describes my anger as a teen I felt. I was born as a paraplegic due to spinabifida with other medical issues. I still have days as an adult that I feel angry. I was told by someone if I believed in God he would heal me!
Very rarely do lyrics and singing match this well. You can really hear the bitter sarcasm at the "He did it all for you" part. Just brilliant.
Gotta love Maynard. 💙
Rebuke Satan!!
Ask Jesus into you're heart today and get saved! John 3:16
This is the perfect way to start off your Sunday
WHEN GOD COMES U WILL FUCKING BOW......
I bow to no one- more so for a fairytale character!! Laugh my ungodly ass off!!!!
6 years later still is! Lmao
Hey it's Sunday!
Soo correct
I grew up in a Pentacostal household and saw first hand what they do to people,they made me the Atheist I am today…Totally Respect what he’s saying here…
God murdered idiots because they're like you who don't believe in him that's the story of Noah's Ark God W. All the idiots with the flood when it comes back in Rapture he's going to wipe out all you idiots with fire and burn you to death you need Jesus Christ to save your soul from hell
Explain
Your problem is that Pentecostals are as Occult as they come, besides Catholics obviously
Don't take the Mark of the Beast! (666)
Less and less people are going to church every year… THANK GOD
@@AlexS-ei7kp No doubt, glory to Yahushua for driving out the people from these dens of iniquity and hate, with a love and penchant for Money
regardless of anyone's opinions on the theistic/religious aspects of this, the song ROCKS
It really doesn't... feels like some Pearl Jam below Mid
Indeed
Jesus loves you

Wow. Back in the day I just thought that this was your average angry alt/post metal track. Good but I didn't really consider it very much. But upon listening and understanding the lyrics now, this track isn't angry more than it is painfully sad. The mournful lyrical content and pained delivery (what I mistook for basic anger) actually gave me some feels upon revisiting this track. I wish i would have given it the time of day back then.
I feel the same. Listen to Wings for Maria (Part 1) and 10,000 days (Part 2) It will make you cry.... such a beautiful tribute to his mother🙏🏻😇
Thank you for caring
"Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there." Vine Deloria, Jr.---Native American author.
The thing is... Why would someone NOT be afraid to go to Hell?? That always gets me! I get Atheism more than I get that, if u believe in God and Satan.

The Church is misleading you meet better people outside of church that know that they are not perfect and their shit stinks but they still try to be a better person rather than belittle someone for their lack of possession or the different trilles one has faced in life which makes everyone a unique individua not worrying about the hyprocits sitting in the Churchpues talking smack about everyone that doesn't dush their rear-end with rose petals and drive a BMW or a JAGUAR!!! A bunch of motivational speakers saying for the meare price of $100 in the collection plate that you'll garinted to go to Heaven with them upon their Magic Carpet Ride to Never Never land with Peter Pan , the lost boys trying to pin Peter's shadow back on him while he trying to tap Wendy and Tink's little Bell!!! ;-p
Nah. I'll stick with flat-fuck atheism.
@evan butler And then some...
Damn I love this.
for as strange as he is…. maynard truly is an amazing artist. the level of depth in his lyrics is unreal. he really feels everything he sings about, especially in this very powerful track about his own mothers faith. after reading the comments and understanding what he is singing about, my jaw is left on the floor in amazement. i have a newfound appreciation for how amazing maynard is. this is a perfect song from a perfect circle.
Strange to some. Perfect to others.
Deffff great music!!
Todays Gen is No Where near this artist!!
MJK's lyrics on this song come from a place of frustration, anger, and sorrow. If anyone can watch an innocent loved one suffer immensely and not at least question the existence of a god then they are either willfully naive or simple minded.
Maynard's mom, Judith, was paralyzed over half her body, and could never fully live her life.
These lyrics hit so hard.
Maynard is hands down the greatest artist of my time.
Love everything about this song.
Amen
Jesus loves you
@@sandycan2715| Jesus loves you
even the most faithful feel abandoned or betrayed by God sometimes...this song is cathartic
Like when Santa Clause didn't bring what you asked the dude in the store for.
Cathartic lol no. It’s the truth. When something good happens God did it not the person who actually made it happen for themselves instead of giving yourself credit let’s give an entity credit for something as believable as.......well I digress
@@tomrichnafsky3089 I don't digress, it's a believe as any childhood story passed down over many generations...Santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, what all those are so obviously fake, while people risk their lives, and wage wars over another story is beyond me. Religion does more bad than good, it's as bad as gangs in Chicago, but more deadly, and worldwide, it's truly unfathomable.
@@tomrichnafsky3089 Wtf are you on about?..."I dIgrEss" lmaoo fuck outta here cringe ass.
Go be a "Moral Relative" elsewhere.
Bozo
This is a growing up and maturing song. I mean you can take it literally.
DAMN I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THIS SONG, READING ALL THE COMMENTS.
Was introduced to this band at age 15 in Norman Ok. Loved them since.
My wife knows when I’m down on spirituality when I play this song
Jesus loves you

...SONG OF THE DAY!!!
A PERFECT CIRCLE - JUDITH (2000)
El título hace referencia a la mamá de Maynard (el vocalista) quien era una mujer muy DEVOTA RELIGIOSA; un día sufrió un derrame cerebral que la dejó parcialmente paralizada en silla de ruedas. La letra de esta canción refleja cómo se sintió él acerca de toda la situación y le CUESTIONA A ELLA: que era una buena persona que creía en DIOS y, sin embargo, ¿así se le "agradeció"?. En pocas palabras se refiere a la "FE CIEGA". El video fue dirigido por David Fincher: Se7en (1995), Fight Club (1999) y otras 😌. 🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿19/04/2021
Beautiful words so eloquently and truthfully spoken
My brothers daughter was in a car accident last year. She and a friend went in a car with a guy who had talked about chicken race with another guy.
The guys had a plan but my brothers daughter and her friend dident know what they were about to do.
They crashed and my brothers daughter went in to the hospital with life threthening head injuries. She is still unconscious and sitting in weelchair after over a year and her life is ruined.
Upon all this my mom has got cancer also.
This song hits me to the core.
Like come on! I remember when this came out. I love Maynard
Before I read the lyrics, I thought it said "It's not like you drew a hateful spirit to his side", as if Maynard was talking sarcastically about Jesus drawing the illness towards his mother.
The first time that i listen this band. Nice song
You guys do know that he wrote this song about his mother who died of a stroke. He wrote it out of the anger he had felt when she continued to pray even though she was dying. He hated it. After all, how can you watch someone pray so faithfully while their health deteriorates? He doesn't hate God, guys. Holy crap.
I know this comment is 3 years old, but his mother was paralyzed by the stroke. She died years later but spent the last few years of her life in a wheel chair and yeah, he kinda despises Christianity. This isn't his only song calling it out for being the bull shit cult it is.
Actually, Maynard detests religion of any kind - for very good reasons grounded in reality and backed up by observations. Religion is a disease inflicted on humanity and Christianity is the worst strain of it.
Maynard actually is not religious so you should educate yourself before writing something on the internet
@@revvy13 and as you're so willing to jump on board with the lyrics of this artist you need to read the Bible and recognize his truth things that happening today are spoke of 2,000 years ago we will all stand before Jesus Christ and explain every word we spoken God bless your soul and I hope you find HIM before you pass from this Earth
Geez, I love this song!
I used to be a Catholic person, go to church every Sunday and sometimes on Wednesday as well. I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia and that changed all of it. I used to think this song was blasphemy and evil. I now understand that was wrong, this so called God took everything from me. I live in pain every single day and have to take 16 different medications three times a day. I have been made to feel as if I am an evil person because I have to take narcotic pain killers to just be able to walk. Today when I hear this song, it now makes sense and I could not agree with Maynard more. The line in the song, "He did this" is hitting the nail on the head.
You don’t know me, but I hope you’re doing well. I know how frustrating illnesses like that can be, and how they completely turn your world upside down
@@kookspook6984 my life has been upside-down since being diagnosed. For the past 2 years I have been using a cane since Syringomyelia has been continuing to destroy the nerves in my spine. I can also no longer sense hot and cold on the tops of my hands and arms and have to rely on my wife to set the water temperature when I take a shower. I am 43 years old and so many things that people take for granted as every day things have been been taken from me. I continue to fight each day but there are some days that I cannot get the strength up to keep going.
@@jakedeyoung8568 I’m sorry to hear that, you’re very strong to deal with that every day though. I wish you good fortune
@@jakedeyoung8568 so you think God did this to you specifically on purpose?
@Cristina-rj6kz do I think God singled me out and said "you will have a chronic and debilitating disease." Most decidedly....'No'. Maybe I didn't explain my position on how I feel about the entire situation. I agree with Maynard in the sense that when yourself or a loved one is hurting beyond imagination it is easy blame someone else. It it also difficult at times to fully grasp if God is such a loving God why would he do these things. Granted I may not go to church as much anymore but I do thank God that he gives me another day to live on this planet and enjoy the things he jas put here. I can say continual pain does very strange things to the brain. Even though I have to wake up at 3am everyday to take medication so that I can get out of bed 90 mins later and not scream in pain is still another day that I am thankful to be alive.
This song represents Maynard's frustration with God and the song Right in Two represents his frustration with man, from his and God's perspective, in my opinion.
This is what happens to people when they do not consider and or forget there is a devil.
lol
Love this song it's so beautiful 😍❤️
Incredible song, the overall vibe and production coupled with Maynard's vocal and lyrics. Amazing!
Wow. I Did not know that. Love to you.
I was answering somebody somewhere.
I didn’t know Maynard wrote this for his mom. That is very cool I had no idea.
What a great song.
Pretty sure it was on my wake-up playlist. If it wasn’t it shoulda been. Alright I’ll shut up.
We all are entitled to our own opinions, thoughts and beliefs. I believe in God and Jesus Christ. God, in my faith, put us on this earth to live with free will meaning He didn't promise us a perfect life but the choice on how we choose to live our lives. Yes we will have to deal with tragedy in our lives, it's how you deal with it that is most important to Him. I'm sure many that might read this will just scoff at my comments but think for a second, there are always at least 2 ways we can handle situations that arise in our lives. Be positive or negative. You can choose to treat people with love, acceptance and respect or simply not. These are your choices and whether you want to believe it or not that's the free will God has given us all. I've chosen faith which doesn't mean that I live sans facts you can live believing in both and having compassion and empathy for mankind none of us are perfect and He knows this and doesn't expect us to be. He does expect us to treat each other with love, kindness respect and dignity.
I don't judge anyone and I can feel Maynard's pain and anger coming through I hope he has peace in his life.
I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOOOOO MUCH
Excellent
awesome song ..
The song is so fucking awesome even more so after I realized what it's about from a comment below.
And like a dude said even further down you can feel the sorrow it delivers.. powerful tune
this song speaks to me
Awesome song! JUDITH is the real MVP 🤘🏻🤘🏻 strong woman!
THxs twiter ghostpotlics for showing me this song.
Start your Sundays right ;)
Favorite song of all times...
It's funny how people feel as though life and all bad things "happened" to them.. never stopping to think of how badly they'd beg on their knees to get it back if it was suddenly taken from them. Life can be hell... It can be an overwhelming constant beating and I'm STILL greatful...
Religion is for people that has been through real struggles that left them with nothing or no one to turn to. Think about it the next time your reaching for your pill bottle. Great song btw.
I love this song 24/7
2:35 in early live performances he would say "Fuck" instead of "Tell". Example: Live in Phoenix 2000
ABSOLUTE FIIIIREEEEE
Maynards' love for his mother is both intensely striking and provocative in the lyrics and delivery in this most poignant song. The creator gives and takes without any justification and it is the biggest mystery.
God loves us so much don’t you feel His love?
Most only feel his hate
@@ChaosAngel9151 true. I feel it too isn’t it sad? And I try so hard I’m tired of trying so hard for nothing
But how can God be Omniscient when God is spoken of as if it's a perspective ? The title "The Lord" sounds like an entity with a higher perspective imo, not an Omniscient source of life. But that's only my interpretation. I grew up Baptist, but Id be lying if I say I feel "'Gods love"" sorry :(
Im not athiest though, I have Baptist values but im not religious.
@@HostileHaywire7 Same except I’m somewhat religious. There are many who don’t feel God’s love- actually most don’t feel His love including diehard Christians(and myself). It sucks. Most people and most Christians are going to hell for eternity. I suggest trying your very best to seek God anyway because hell is way worse than any human mind can possibly imagine.
I dated a beautiful stripper that worked at TATTLETALE in ATL and this was her favorite song to dance to. She rocked it
Looking for someone who can't stop listening to tool and looking for tool Fan's to tell each other about our story of our life
I'm 14. Havent had much going on but hey, I love Maynard and his music.
Your savior has abandoned us all
Religion is a universal police force. Remember the second "Dark Age"? No religion. Then religion makes it's way back around, and now everyone is striving to be good again to go to heaven. Universal police force.
god bless xoxo never leaves ur heart...
oh wow. a comment on youtube. thank you so much for that i have truly seen the light. how my entire life is a fucking lie and i don't really love my girlfriend because homosexuality is wrong. how i should be damned to hell just for loving someone of the same gender. how if no one else believes in what i believe, that makes them worthless. yeah. that is totally inspiring.
fucking-tom-hiddleston Honestly this world was never really inspiring to begin with.

TRUTH!!
YOUR ABOUT AS SHARP AS A BUTTER KNIFE!!!!!!
amazing quality :D
Interesting and powerful lyrics!
Jesus loves you
@@mason.37 Thank you! I'm a strong believer, with a lot of faith, but it's always nice to hear.
Jesus loves you too my friend, me bless and increase you. 🙏🏻💕
I watched my mom die in a week after her doctors told her she had no chance. I know it is ridiculous maybe but after she passed I listened to this song for a month straight to help me to deal and it did help. It is too bad that Maynard hates when fans tell him that he is amazing or that he helped them get through a hard time in life. I would never tell him that but I have had some shitty things in life and it has always been Tool or APC THAT make me cope. Sorry but you can't do anything that helps a person get through the crap sometimes. I understand I grew up in the Bay area and I watched a lot of bands get annoyed hearing the same "YOUR gods". And other things. His voice takes you away to another place sometimes and it is a gift I have flown with my kids and husband all over to see Tool, APC AND PUSIFER. Different things make different people cope. I don't care if it seems stupid or whatever. Music from classical to metal to country to rock. It does something to some of us and that's it. I will never apologize for music making me feel good if only for a while.
Wow after reading the comments the lyrics make so much sense...
There waa once where i truly felt this... i felt the hate and the unforgivess- hell im still working in it
Powerful song!
GOOSEBUMPS
James Keenan is amazing
recently descoverd that cancer runs in both sides of my family, and my sister and i both have very high chances of getting breast, skin, and lung cancer, the world is a cruel place, so you might as well make the best of this shit-hole before we compltly kill it. And if you get angry at it, then fucking scream, write a song do something. But theres really no reason to get mad over a song written by a man mad at the world that parilized his mother and killed her after she prayed for forgiveness from something that dosint exist.
When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.
The origin of love
And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire
And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.
Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.
God does things that no man will understand, He loves all of us, but there are things He does which will glorify Him and lead the lost (UN-saved) to Him, that they will not go to Hell after their death.
Binnie Katt I didn't know likelyhood of cancer was hereditary
Glad to know I don't need to waste my time in church on sundays then. Thanks.
This is how TH-cam arguments should go. Good job gentleman.
As a Christian, I really sympathize with Maynard’s anger at his mother’s church. To be told that someone was paralyzed for not being a good enough Christian is so antithetical to what we are to strive for.
I hope Judith found peace in the arms of her savior, and I hope Maynard has a spot next to her (hopefully) decades from now
Amen 🙏
I don't know if this is correct or not and I admit I wish I was a better christian than I am I truly do but as a person that has lost both parents at a very young age I have to believe that God doesn't promise you anything for your time on earth it is your reward for being faithful and believing in the after life and asking for forgivness of your sins and believing that Jesus God's only son died for us.
As far as Maynard goes I believe he actually said he was a believer after all of this happend though I can't remember what changed his mind tbh.
The only divine authorized way is jesus christ. Not a specific denomination.
Apparently there's been times churches have told people with hauntings that they couldn't help.
Jesus is there. Satan just gets strongholds.
You can't beat Jesus.
Those Christians sound like they cursed her more than healed.
Sadly I have no idea if he knew that music helps and try a deliverance ministry for infirmary spirit.
Words.
As a Christian my heart breaks when I hear this song.. i understand his pain and frustration I just wish the pain drove him closer to Christ instead of making him resent Christ. I wish he would just sit and have a conversation with Jesus. He needs to feel his love, mercy and peace😪
Christianity is a plague since my family became Christian everything went to hell, my mother die recently she was a good Christian for more than 30 years, but her life was always misery, and the way she died even worse, I wonder why still care about religion and God is he doesn't give a fuck about us in this Earth? better not believe in anything we will die one day who knows what is going to happen to us, nobody really knows we're just guessing
Happy Easter….
Cool album for making love either I do really recommend to do it
If there is a entity like the perceived Christian god benevolent and omnipotent.. then I believe that entity would judge our souls based off our Merit and character.. I couldn’t see a true Hollowed God caring so much about our submission and worship to him, that almost feels like a corrupted trait to me
God help us find a cure for neurological disease's!!!!!!!!
B-but... Jesus Christ is mah niggah.
+Garret Harris This song is not about YOUR Christ. It's about the insane level of so called faith that drove his mother to believe that prayer and not medecine could save her. That saw her praising her Saviour from the depths of a crippling condition that left her broken and tortured her whole life. If Jesus is truly Yo Niggah, then Maynard and I I'm sure have nothing but love
+Jonathan Guitard How can someone be this dense? You must be a delight as a friend.
/watch?v=033FInn1wH8
Nice reference
+MightyMrMustache "Maynard and I" Honestly I think Maynard would laugh in your face. It was just a reference, okay? Chill the fuck out and stop taking shit so seriously.
We
Ya why he left me scared for life and he's living he's best life
It is a way of life
Can we just take a moment and pray. Dear man, dear lord , dear muscular man with a bible or a sword...
Me too xx
You think that God has abandoned me? Lmmfao! Watch til the end. Pay very close attention so the testimony doesn't fall to the wayside.
respect from somebody born into a jesus cult in the 70s
I love this song and it reminds me of how easy it is to blame someone for your problems not realizing god is forced to watch us do this to each other or did you forget our outcome is based off free will which is something god can't effect he never abandoned anyone we just wanted an invisible friend and forgot he was a guiding light
Nice joke muppet
@@burrymeinsmoke1483 lol nice of you to resort to being a 5 year old and name calling good for you subway sells cookies go get you one too celebrate your wicked burn shut the hell up loser just cause your life is worthless doesnt mean you have to bring it over to me

he is bad ass
"Ooo what a perfect circle" - some kid in geometry class
I want to play this at a "Crippled Christians" meeting
IT'S TIME TO BRING THE FIRE DOWN!
A perfect.cicle
Ows!.... Jealous to God Hays poor people
I agree with the religious theistic of this song, and yup, it rocks 🪨
I could never make out these lyrics and always thought it was maybe a Christian song because I'd only hear these phrases, "your God, your christ" "its not like he killed someone" and "never thought to question why" "he did it all for you"
Rip Jimmy
when i first heard this song i loved it, but then when i read the lyrics i was shocked because of the 'fuck your god ' part... and after all those years and things i saw on behalf of religion i can definetely say that i am %100 percent agree with this songs lyrics.
Saw what? What did you see?
First heard this song from Underworld
Yeah...I used to LOVE everything Maynard....but alas, despite knowing all the lyrics, and loving the beat/instrumentals...I've been saved, won't ever look back and especially wouldn't ever say anything against my Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST.....He saved me....rock bottom couldn't describe where I was..it was worse, it was HELL...I don't know..I cringe at anything speaking ill of Him or God the Father now..(I'm 40 now)....Anyone understand what Im saying?
But hey, respect to where it's deserved.
I just can't listen to the Devil's words anymore...sad AF tho, TOOL got me through some sh*t, as did his other bands- Puscifer and A Perfect Circle....
Never too much Keenan!
I am The Arch Angel Revelation of The Holy Spirit.
The Bible (the longest game of telephone)
Truth
Is anybody gonna talk about the drums and baseline?? Keenan my inspiration
Me too
This song and type o negatives song "it's never enough" has the literally the same inspiration, both inspired by the passing of their mothers death.. Both have different but similar meanings, both bashing on religion.
Sometimes you can see things clearly. Sometimes it takes time to figure it all out.
I am an AFRICAN-AMERICAN (Tuscarora tribe-we are american...NOT native american. Aint no native Chinese, they are just Chinese)). In my 20s I was hanging with European illegal immigrants-you call them americans or "white people". I heard this song and felt nothing but the TRUTH. WHITE PEOPLE TELLING THE TRUTH. I have loved Maynard ever since.
Is not like you kill someone "he did it all for you"
Christian or otherwise this song gets you thinking.
The Dracula of rock. I
