He might be speaking of his own struggle with heroin addiction... that's why I love TOOL! He speaks of his struggles and redepmtion he hopes to have. ❤
I love Maynards bands, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. 😊 Thanks for all you do!
I’m sure it’s been mentioned multiple times already, but this is a concept album about addiction & recovery. A truly great piece of work.
13/XIII = tarot: "death" = mjk: "ego death"
13th step is apc's "lateralus", essence-tially
13th step refers to godhead = THE PACKAGE!
13th lateralus track = faaip de oiad, voice of god
"choose one... & wear THE PACKAGE like a crown"
mjk = lead-2-gold CONSCIOUSNESS type of alchemist
so it's about transmutating our collective consciousness
(similar to everything mjk's ever done, spanning 3 decades)
"you are broken" ego, lead, 44&2, disharmony
into
"we are all one" egoless, gold, 46&2, harmony
puscifer = alchemy recordings
tool = diSECTIONAL (golden ratio)
apc = virgin records (isis, mother mary)
"i sold my soul to make a record, dipshit (ego)
and. you (44&2). bought. ONE~!!!!!!!!!!!! (46&2)"
it's about addiction ...to EGO (quite specifically)
_______________________
lyrics:
clever got me this far
then tricky got me in
eye on what i'm after
i don't need another friend
smile and drop the cliche
till you think i'm listening
take just what i came for
then i'm out the door again
peripheral on the package
don't care to settle in
time to feed the monster
i don't need another friend
comfort is a mystery
crawling out of my own skin
just give me what i came for
then i'm out the door again
lie to get what i came for
lie to get just what i need
lie to get what i crave
lie and smile to get what's mine
eye on what i'm after
i don't need another friend
nod and watch your lips move
if you need me to pretend
because clever got me this far
then tricky got me in
i'll take just what i came for
then i'm out the door again
lie to get what i came for
lie to get what i need now
lie to get what i'm craving
lie and smile to get what's mine
give this to me
mine, mine, mine
take what's mine
lie to get what i came for
lie to get what i need now
lie to get what i'm craving
lie to smile and get what's mine
give this to me
mine, mine, mine
take what's mine
this is mine

compare "the package" lyric "give this to me" with "the grudge" lyric "let go"
similar but opposite... tool + apc = a perfect union of contrary things
I'm rediscovering this album after recovery from 15 years of addiction and it's haunting how relatable it is.
"Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
He promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous"
C'mon now. I can re-live the withdrawal in these lyrics. It's painful and beautiful
When this album came out it changed my life, I remember listening to on repeat even when I was sleeping. It is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Love that you're diving into APC! Def need to check out _3 Libras, Orestes, and Sleeping Beauty_ from The Mer de Noms album
This song represents how an addict thinks when picking up their fix, nothing else matters. This album helped me through my recovery from painkillers and still does to this day even after 10 years.
Decade ago I got on the pain pills, then graduated to heroin, before I finally got clean. Now years later I'm struggling with alcohol. This song hits hard. Shit I thought I was House MD snorting percoset, then going in and being top of my grad school class.... then reality hit.
Same here 11 years now, from the top of the world to the bottom of the pit but I am still here when I shouldn’t be. It’s a work in progress but my life is the masterpiece that I’m working on. Stay strong my peoples!
suboxone
Ever heard of Deftones?
They’re another great band to dive into.
The song Passenger features Maynard. Let that one introduce you
metaphor to "drive faster" as metaphor of "sex (magick)" as metaphor of "(lead-to-gold) alchemy" as metaphor for "evolution of consciousness" ...is epitomous V maynard james keenan V "slide a mile six inches at a time..." V "til one and one are one" V "down this vagina mine" V (is for vagina)
_____________________
biLATERALIZation/44&2:
N parenthesis = chino, square, LEFT BRAIN
Y parenthesis = maynard, (circle), RIGHT BRAIN
CAPITALIZED = whole brain consciousness, 46&2
(melvin's "divorced" feat tool does the same thing,
it is their version of tool's "schism" ...same thing...)
"?!" = question/R + authority/L = think for yourself
here i lay (still, and breathless)
just like always (still, i want some more)
mirrors sideways (who cares what's behind?)
just like always (still your passenger)
(chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
these and other lucky witnesses
now to calm me
this time won't you please)
DRIVE FASTER?!
(roll the window down this
cool night air is curious
let the whole world look in
who cares who sees anything?)
(I'M YOUR PASSENGER!)
drop these down then (put them on me)
nice, cool seats there (to cushion your knees)
now to calm me (take me around again)
don't pull over (this time won't you please)
DRIVE FASTER?!
(roll the window down this
cool night air is curious
let the whole world look in
who cares who sees what tonight?
roll these misty windows
down to catch my breath
and then go and go and go
just drive me home & back again!)
here i lay just like always
(don't let me) go... go... go...
take me to the edge >>>>>>>>>>> (O)
*"go" = "let go" = ego death... = unconditional ONE
"take me to the edge" of "apparently nothing at all"
last line is strikingly similar to "pushit" lyric:
"take care not to make me enter
'cause if i do we BOTH (44&2)
may disappear (46&2)"
"i don't need ANOTHER friend"
Chevelle has a few good ones too. They sound heavily inspired by Tool. Just heard The Deftones for the 1st time recently. And I agree with you!
This is the first song on the album and it just sucks you in. Pretty soon you're at the end of the album, ready to do it all over again❤️
Excellent synopsis! ♻
Love that you did this song. As an avid drug user and former coke addict, it really speaks to me. I get it. Been in that place many times. Outstanding reaction. Please do "Third Eye" from Tool. And if you're looking for a new band to explore, try " Goliath" from the band Karnivool.
All love brother, each of our depths may feel deeper than the other, but even if they may feel like a suffocation, it’s defeated by self love and an inside appreciation ✌🏽❤️🌶💯🔥
2nd the Karnivool suggestion
Yeah man, great pick with Karnivool.
SUCH a badass song. One of my faves. The 13th Step is my #1 APC album. You should listen to it from start to finish- the songs consecutively, tell a story. In typical Maynard genius fashion. 😜🤘
The whole thing is about addiction and recovery.
Do Blue, The Noose, Weak & Powerless and The Nurse Who Loved Me- if nothing else. They're the best songs on it- IF I HAD TO PICK- but my suggestion is do the whole album. Start to Finish. In that order. Or, at least take a listen, on your own time, to the whole thing. It's crazy good.
Promise you'll dig it.
Definitely! Every song is great but a full length listening is beyond any individual song.
addiction (ego/lead/44&2/disharmonic consciousness)
and
recovery (ego death/gold/46&2/harmonic consciousness)
This album has always been a masterpiece. I remember back in the day, the bass line always putting my car speakers to the test 😅
If you've got rattles or anything loose, this bassline will find 'em! 😄
@@revolutionday1 perfectly stated, lol
Mamma Sed by Puscifer please!
You should check out PET as your next Perfect Circle song!
The Pet from this album is wonderful
This is a fantastic album, I’ve bought it three times.
That whole album really helped me work through some shit.
Bullet train to Iowa by Puscifer, Maynard's other band worth it checking out
m/v
I just want to say you are by far my favorite reactor. The reason I watch reactions is to see people's general reaction to things that I love like tool and a perfect circle in which they've never heard before. You are open, willing, intelligent, and insightful. I've loved these guys for 20 plus years and it's so fun to see someone get hooked like I did when I was 13. You rock bro!!!
I just found him today (rammstein video) and was going to say the same damn thing.
Ha you have only scratched the surface with Perfect Circle, keep it going brother 😎
3 libras when!!!!
Amazing album. The production is also a masterclass.
Gollum's theme song.....
This whole album is great! Try “The nurse who loved me” on this album.
Yea, a great cover of a great song (the original is by the band "Failure")
"Say hello to the rugs topography "
Not from this album though, from emotive.
Puscifer anyone?
This whole album is amazing. If you like this tune, it reminds me of another you might like. Mantra. Its by Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor and Josh Homme. It's like a superband type thing.
I have to check that out thanks!!!
I checked it out it was cool but I imagine a really good singer setting that whole thing off. What do you think?
The same group has another song but instead of josh they put in Corey Taylor I believe and he does the vocal work. Just look up sound city soundtrack.
This album... this album is worth reacting to every song. It's one of the best albums (maybe even the best) I've ever heard. (And at 56 I've heard a lot!)
Josh Freese is an absolute master at the drums.You can hear it
Driving music.
This was so bad ass live in 2017. They had a giant curtain covering the stage that was brightly backlit so you could see everyone's silhouettes. Then they dropped it right at "Give this to me!" Amazing performance.
Saw them that tour- and yes that “curtain drop” had that added impact! So good.
Gotta do “Pet” and alt version
Counting bodies like Sheep is the alt version.
I second this
Probably the first person in the history of ever to say Maynard has Alanis Morrissette vibes hahah. Great videos man keep it up!
isn't it ironic?
Wonderful stuff! Glad you’re checking out Maynard’s output beyond his “day job”, lolz…
Thanks for the fine content, Sir!
May as well continue to Puscifer, for the complete MJK experience!😎
Eat the elephant is an album I HIGHLY recommend
Polo, love the video, but i've noticed you haven't checked out Maynard's third band Puscifer. Songs: The Humbling River, Dear Brother, Horizons, Grand Canyon, The Remedy, Potions, Bedlamite, and Rev 22:20.
Nice list! 👌
Next up, "3 libras".
The last song on this album saved my life. I choose to live....
"is this your brain on tool?" (mjk & biLATERALIZation)
LEAD (44&2, ego/fear, disharmonic consciousness)
(left) lost again, broken and weary unable to find my way
tail in hand dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
(right) i am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun
i choose to live
(left) i fell again like a baby unable to stand on my own
tail in hand dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
(right) high and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun
i choose to live - help me survive the bottom
(left) calm these hands before they snare another pill and
drive another nail down another needy hole (ego)
(right) please release me (via ego death)
i am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun
I CHOOSE TO LIVE -_-
GOLD (46&2, unity/christ-consciousness)
_______________________________
compare with UPGrade lyrics:
how does ONE (46&2)
choose words so magical?
they terminate or alleviate
this morbid despair (44&2)
you feel
"i don't know"
what incantation!
what psalm or mantra you will hear!
"i don't know" i don't know.
_______________________________
compare with ROSETTA STONED lyrics:
forgEt the pen! = don't know, won't know!
That song is just 🤤❤️🤘
Gravity. Best song!
I said exactly the same about watching a belly dancer, very mystic, first time I heard it the day it was released, CD on and my mate said the hairs stood up on his arms... Maybe we just had our package 💪👍
The Noose from same album is 1 of my favorites of all time.
Such a fantastic album. Still ahead of its time even all these years later.
From 🇦🇺
My personal favorite perfect circle song
Please do Third Eye by Tool!
Today I'm listening AGAIN to this reaction, because no one else reacted to this OUTSTANDING track!!!
Alanis Morisette😂 never made that connection before but you’re dead on with that one! More than most albums, 13th step really is a complete body of work following the journey of addiction and recovery from different perspectives. It’s a great song by itself, and also it’s really just a piece of a bigger puzzle…not meant to be a complete meal by itself if you will. Always love the tool and APC content, good stuff!
😂
Yoo, If you like the musical genius of A Perfect Circle, I HIGHLY recommend you react to a very underrated band - Dir en grey. IMO likely the BEST musical genius band in the world (they’re Japanese). Every member is an expert in their instrument. Lyrics are also highly open to interpretation, but beautiful. Lmk if you’d like a song recommendation to get hooked in. 😉
A Perfect Circle is most excellent.
That's the problem with Tool. Once you understand Tool, nothing can EVER or will ever compare. I do like APC though. After you complete your Tool journey, try listening to Kolm. I'll keep mentioning it :)
i almost punched you on monitor when you paused right before Maynard says "GIVE THIS TO ME!"
Polo much enjoy your content ✌️❤️🇺🇸
When it comes to YOUR "drugs", if you've ever misplaced, lost, had them stolen, you'll get that "my precious, give me. MY precious" internal golem that emerges and it's the only fucking gd thing you can ruminate about. I think this song manifests that into pure energy, it's pure selfishness from a raw survival urge. Then when you FINALLY get it again, it's like as soon as you consume it, you get cognitive amnesia from the distress that proceeded. Or that's just my experience.
I was the 666th person that liked this video..probably shouldn’t be as proud of that as I am.
Amazing song (and album)..I saw APC live 4 years ago and was pleasantly surprised when they did this song
Whole album is fire
Please react to Pet
Saw APC live as a freshman in High-school right after this album dropped. The only show better was Tool or NiN
I’ll go check but have you done any of Puscifer? Don’t leave them out! You can’t go wrong with anything MJK is involved with.
Polo, you're observations are GOLD....glad I discovered you today!
I'd like to request Perfect Circle- 3 Libras & also Puscifer - Conditions Of My Parole. Please and thanks.
I love anything Maynard has his hands on... if you love the journey like I know that you do. Please check out King Buffalo, Loam or Eye of the storm
TOOLARMY! This rules. The 13th step is amazing
Time for puscifer Autumn
I am broke otherwise I'd donate for you to do In Flames "Ropes" or "Where Dead Ships Dwell" 🔥🔥🔥
This song is so amazing. You need to start doing some Puscifer. Maynard’s genius mind set to random- each song seemingly a different style. Recent album more alien music type 👽
Checkout Bullet Train to Iowa music video.
Joey Diaz had a good point about addicts bragging about being sober. Don’t applaud those people for finally doing what they should have been doing. You shouldn’t have been messing with that stuff anyways so don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back for finally acting right.
Polo, I'd love for you to listen to Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes, Heroin and Sweet Jane. Jane's Addiction's Jane Says is also a haunting tune too.
"Can't you just picture a woman belly dancing to this part?"
Well I can NOW! HaHaHa LOL :p
A Perfect Circle was a masterpiece.. I wish they would reunite ❤
Sessanta
"He turned into Alanis Morissette"
Bruh, I'm done 🤣
It's comments and jokes like that that make me want to go have a beer with you and shoot the shit. If you're ever in Vegas, beers on me bro
Check out The Humbling River. I think that’s Puscifer
if you haven't heard A Perfect Circle - The Hollow, you're missing out.
This has been the band that saved my life during some incredibly dark and lonely times. If other bands were little pools of light, APC was the sun. Being so close to the ledge, absolutely numb to life, I needed APC to gut me open and allow me to put words to the agony I buried.
APC also set me up to fall head first into Sleep Token as well. I think there were a lot of unintentional parallels between the two that the transition from one to the other is natural. Its like APC was like, "I got her this far now show her how to live."
You need to check out Puscifer - The Remedy or anything else by them. It MJK and his genius also.
Great reaction, brother ! Amazing album start to finish 👏 Where did you get that light/pendulum on the shelf behind you ?
I always thought this song was about sex addiction… listen again from that perspective.
I'll never be able to hear this song again without hearing Alanis Morrisette 🤣👌thank you for that Polo🤘
I believe the drums were Josh Freese on their first two albums. Great drums here. Like. APC Great live.
Always thought this was a booty-addiction thing. Like 4° or The Hollow.
If this song is about addiction, it's about a sex addict. Written from the perspective of his package.
The way that they engineered the sound to literally CRASH at 7:28 is just Soooooo Good...
I wish I could talk to you on a I guess personal level. Polo. I'd like to share my tool and apc , 90s experience.
Yep, you're in the good stuff now. Enjoy...
That's one my favorite from Perfect Circle, incredible song
He sings the line "Feed the Monster" then turns into the monster when the song picks up..then calms down after the monster is fed...Just my interpretation
He said tricky got him this far. Turns out Tricky was in the Parabola music video
My 2nd favorite band of all time. Tool number one. Pusifer third.
clever got me this far then tricky got me in I am what im after I don’t need another friend. That alone should teach you all you need to succeed but it will not make you friends. But if you ignore that and be a genuine person you will find it all comes easier without the lies and bs
I was 27 when I fell in love APC. I love watching people go through the same thing
Such a great song from a really solid album! One of my favorites. So cool that you’re branching out from Tool to other Maynard fun.
The thing about APC is that it’s as much, if not more, Billy’s band as it is MJK. MJK’s influence over the lyrics and delivery is obvious but Billy is no slouch as a songwriter. The music on this track builds with great intentionality as the addict gets increasingly desperate to score their fix. At the drop, all facades of niceness, politeness, and patience are dropped and the addict lets the inner monster out. That’s when MJK goes to the growl and Billy’s guitar takes center stage. After the explosion and the addict getting what they needed, they try to calm down and repair the damage hence the return of the softer music and MJK whispering the lyrics on the outro.
Aparrently the reason "Eat the Elephant" took so long to come out is because it took that long to finally find a producer who could get Maynard and Billie on the same page.
Neither of them could agree on what sort of direction their next album would go in.
Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in...
These two lines are amazing to start this song with.
you absolutely have to react to the legend himself sing one of the most famous opera song of the history of opera. this is luciano pavarotti singing caruso th-cam.com/video/hXAAXe_00Cc/w-d-xo.html

Love the bass in this, just slitherin around like a snake. Delicious.
This song hit me very hard the first time I heard it. You can really hear the desperation being portrayed in his voice with the intense shallow breaths that Maynard put in certain sections. Listened to it while in rehab for opiate addiction and related too hard.
great song, with all myd rugs habits over the years i can really relate to this.,.. sad and poetic
i get this fact that its about addiction and recovery and always has but to me this is another addiction, sex tbh and so many others have seen that same concept, its a mans perspective of getting women they shouldn't have lol
It's impossible for Josh Freese NOT to kill it on any given track. He's too awesome.
I love a perfect circle and tool but I also recommend marylin Manson or Chevell
And here I thought I was weird to belly-dance to APC lol😅
I was waiting for this one. This one is my absolute faaaaaavorite! Karina from Puscifer sang this at maynards 50th birthday concert, was beautiful
Something is wrong with your audio. Can not hear the bass. I know and love this song.
Drums are by legendary studio musician josh freese
Soo much to break down in this song. But it tells you soo much about how to cheat the game and how to get big but allows you to understand addiction to money
