A Perfect Circle - Passive

Someone in 2024???

I can either be in calm silence, anger, happiness, or tears, this song has been incorporated in so many different parts of my life all these years. You know it's a powerful song if it can change meanings to help you though. Such an amazing song, I will never be tired of.

This is by far one of the best songs I've heard in my life...

This song helped get me through a rough divorce and a difficult death. Thank you Maynard.

Taste in Good Music got us here.

How can one be so good at vocal harmonies and just carry so much energy, emotion and charisma in his voice

Dead as dead can be My doctor tells me But I just can't believe him Ever the optimistic one I'm sure of your ability to become My perfect enemy Wake up And face me Don't play dead 'Cause maybe Someday I will walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way Leaning over you here Cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection What you could and might have been It's your right and your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up (why can't you) And face me (come on now) Don't play dead (don't play dead) 'Cause maybe (because maybe) Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way You're better off this You're better off this Maybe you're better off Wake up (why can't you) And face me (come on now) Don't play dead (don't play dead) 'Cause maybe (because maybe) Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say You fucking disappoint me Maybe you're better off this way Go ahead and play dead I know that you can hear this Go ahead and play dead Why can't you turn and face me? Why can't you turn and face me? Why can't you turn and face me? Why can't you turn and face me? You fucking disappoint me Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit Passive aggressive bullshit

If there are people still listening in 2024, you are from the 90's 🕺🏽🤗 Just give yourself to the rhythm 🤫

Constatine is awesome movie. Always makes me interesting movie everytime when this movie is shown on TV.

When I was about 14-15 I heard this song and it instantly reminded me of my father who I have a terrible relationship with. Still to this day this song is a powerhouse. I will always love APC!

I'm 60 years old, but this Musik is still my Favorite.

For some reason everytime I go to a Demon-infested bar this song is playing

I am amazed at how he took all those emotions and turned them into songs... If handled correctly, tragic childhoods can be transmuted into soul-nourishing music instead of festering as repressed emotions and bursting out in a destructive manner.This is exactly why I'm glad I am not a machine. No way a machine could ever understand music the way a human being does.

It makes damn goosebumps on my back and arms too. Amazing song. Maynard is crazy genius.

Straight up the anthem of my former marriage. This song came out the year my ex started >really< acting up after having our first (and as I saw fit, only) child. After nearly two decades of mental and emotional abuse (culminating in my daughter self-harming and planning her “self-deletion” at 13 years old) I took matters into my own hands and escaped with my child. Spent every penny I had fighting off the vindictive custody suit that woman filed after she realized my child wanted nothing to do with her. The only reason I came out on top is because my ex was so uncooperative, so horrible, even her own lawyer only lasted two weeks. During the final moments of the hearing after she was forced to drop the suit, the lyrics of this song, which I hadn’t heard in a decade, rang out in my mind like a gunshot in an enclosed room… “Someday I will walk away and say, you f-ing disappoint me, maybe you’re better off this way…” We did it. After 19 years of pain and suffering, my daughter and I are now happy and healing. PSA to men, don’t let the system beat you down, fight to the last. Even when the odds are rigged and insurmountable, FIGHT HARDER. There is no defeat as long as you draw breath.

Constantine has what movies of today totally miss- that underlying tension between the male and female lead that’s just left as a tension. The whole movie’s pretty coherent and builds on a limited number of characters very well. Sad they didn’t do sequels

Being fearlessly passive is the way to incredible power.

Just a heads up to the commenters that seem to be unaware. This song is about Maynard's mother, who treated him rather poorly in childhood and justified it using religion. She later fell into a coma for decades. The song is about how he craves to argue and reconcile with his mother, but because of the coma, she is his perfect enemy, because she is still alive, yet he has no way to ever get closure. That is where the chorus comes from "Wake up and face me, don't play dead, cause maybe, someday I will walk away and say, you disappoint me, maybe you're better off this way." It is an infinitely more powerful song with the context. It really changed the way I view it.

One of my favorites 🔥 Maynard is a legend period

Almost 2020 and I’m still listening to this song
