Perfect Circle, A - The Outsider Lyrics

When Maynard Says "They were right about you" gives me chills... Damn the way his voice blends with the melody. THATS ART!!!!!

My friends say this band sucks, I don't see how. I love this band!

Well if it isn't this one big family reunion...

Leg day song

I love the original, but the apocolypse version is way better

I love this track. One of my favorite songs. The lyrics just click and make PERFECT sense to me,the melody/harmonies,every single thing.

funny and sad alike: I came to know about APC and Killswitch Engage because of the RE movies...

Resident evil

Just got out of class for suicide prevention. I jump in my car and sirius xm radio station "turbo" had this on. W-e-i-r-d. But the song was half over and I had to YouTube it

@tobey belladonna

@Tory Gibson.
@welson Torres.
@gibby tusanella

This version is SOOOO much better than the one heard in shitty ass Resident Alice

RE Afterlife 2020 👋 Chris and Claire Redfield. Wesker was a phenomenal Villain

Im here today, still keeping me going on

Such a powerful and epic song.

Thirteen(th) step


AA reference.... There are 12 steps

the guy sounds like the tool from singer.

Isnt this that ___ from ____?

Ive been a suicidal imbecile for a long long time 😁😁😁

I can’t hear this without thinking of Resident evil afterlife

Well then just think about Resident Evil in general. Its a great series and you dont kill your fun for APC

The intro reminds me of "the partisan" by mick gordon

I think the line is actually "think about it, you're pounding on a fault line"

“Well isn’t this one big family reunion...”

3:31......

Wesker: Your becoming quite the inconvenience for me.
Alice: I told you i would bring friends
Wesker: You should have brought more!

Resient e vil constantine

*thirteenth step* is the album name...

hmmm reminds me of Chevelle

APC is becoming into one of my favorites bands next to breaking benjamin,linkin park,papa roach,three days grace and maybe Imagine dragons with the stronger

God: i don't wanna ill this guy
The imbecile smoking a cigarette: let me do it for you.

is weird to see that this comment is just 5 days old while all the rest are 5 years, but is sat that the 'new' one is that imbecile

In the last "they were right about you" the drum guy is working overtime and I'm just trying to figure out if maynard changes notes or if it's back-up maynard.

But yeah. Idgaf just do it somewhere far away from here.

Breaking trauma bond's theme song

One bullet at a time every one will hav their difference

Fear.for.alles

Devine.hilarion.slowmo

I am tired of the comments saying this guy sounds like the one from Tool! What's next, comments saying that Slipknot's singer sounds like the one from Stone Sour!? SMH!!!

They do sound kind of similar. Except Maynard only sings for APC now. The other guy in Tool ? That's just Harry Merkin.

RESIDENT EVIL 4 FOREVER

What does it take to get through to you PRECIOUS‽
🏴🐾💔😿😻🐧💙

Anyone else relate to this song as an inner monologue of dueling selves?

Lying to urself again, suicidal imbecile!!!

Great tune, great musicians, great feelings, great energy! Thanks to God and humanity that music is born, forged and emerges!

- What is that?
- trouble!

The snare drum is like a gunshot on this album!

Here it is in 2019 and I just now discovered this band.

About damn time. Welcome to fukin awesome... ride the spiral to the end!!!

dude youve discovered that i cant even describe, congratulations welcome. check out the song "autumn" by puscifer . Maynards 3rd project. help me understand why youve given into all these dumb desires

do people seriously not know that this is Maynard? lmfao. its so weird that my generation is becoming the old farts lol.

When it ended I wazited for the .. " ONE ....... TWooooOOoo ...... Threeeeee .... fourrrrr...... " part. Amazing *CONCEPT* album. (You read right. The whole fucking album is about addiction. I DEFINITELY wouldn't be convinced otherwise. EVER. I know what this album is ... is an experience .. that actually ends good with self realization and wanting to live life freely, without chains of addiction to ANYTHING. Yes. The outsider. Its exactly what you;d think it means. SO face value. Being on the outside and the just .. FACT of life that you can NEVER be in the INSIDE of someone else and *TRULY* feel what they feel. The outsider is about *THAT VERY* ideal/fact. Talk to the hand.

Wrong. It's about depression. Wikipedia:

"The lyrics to "The Outsider" at face value, are in judgement of a potentially self-destructive or suicidal individual, though Maynard clarified that the song's message was meant to be a criticism of people who do not understand the struggles of people dealing with depression, saying:

"[In] the case of "The Outsider", it's sung from the perspective of a person who doesn't understand at all what their friend is going through, what their loved one is going through, and they think that it's more like a sprained ankle; they can just kind of walk it off."[5]"

@Chad Pain Wrong????Addiction isn't akin to depression? (Similar)???? Are you the type that this song is criticizing?

Help me if you can
It's just that this is
Not the way I'm wired
So could you please,
Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires
Your
Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
You're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you
Wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, well I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one
Bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
Medicated, drama queen,
picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcissistic, drama queen, craving fame and all it's decadence
Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
You're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna
Throw it away like this
Such a mess, well I don't wanna watch you
Disconnect and self destruct one
Bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die
They were right about you
They were right about you
Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
You're pounding on a fault line
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this , why do you wanna
Throw it away like this
Such a mess, over this, over this
Disconnect and self destruct,
One bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here

Umbrella Corp 🙂

The 13th step of a 12 step program is picking up a hot new member and coercing them into having sex with you while they are vulnerable. What the heck is with you youtube folks just making stuff up? Use Google. Or better yet, use your mind.

This is 100% about him serving in the military.

Tim showed me this song.

Far away from here

The sounds guy Tool like singer from the.

The guy sounds like the Tool from singer

This guy sounds like the Tool from singer.

Been listening to APC for a long time, only got introduced to Tool, and I had one of those "Wait a minute!" moments! Music has a new meaning to me, thanks Maynard!

Fucking bikini bandit bitch's

Love how comment sections explain the meaning of these songs better that stupid "GENIUS" website.

Wasn’t the singer in a Disney show back in the late 90s?

doubt it, the singer is Maynard James Keenan. Who is definitely not a family-friendly figure.

Instead of a perfect circle, a perfect phone call. Cuz trump. Get it. Lol we are fucked

The Tool sounds like the guy from singer.

@Ronaldo Bilog got that good wig tone, that's how you can tell the difference

The singer sounds like tool from guy

they are the same guy

and they are in puscifer

Attempted to sing along to this song driving in my car... choked half way thru the chorus, dude's got some serious vocal chords man!

When a loved one battles with depression addiction, or any mental illness, you understand exactly where Maynard is speaking from.

Hopefully not, because that's a REALLY fucked up way to look at their struggles.
"Suicidal imbecile", "If you're going to pull the trigger, do it somewhere far away from here".

What it take to get it through to you precious? More to this, why you wanna throw it away like this. He loved this person.

I told you i was bringing a few friends......
You should've brought more.

Maynard você é incrível!!

Heil bolsonaro

Maynard is the GOAT

they were right about you

i wonder who they are talking about, they crave fame. so it is not me.

RIP Nicky, i never stopped loving you....

Another song about suicide what a popular topic. I can think so many bands that cover that topic. Queen papa roach stone sour Chester Bennington bad flower

Maynard is life

I'm a bit confused about the meaning of this song, did maynard write this about someone who is actually borderline/narcissistic? Sometimes I think everyone thinks that about me and that people with addictions or other serious psychological problems are all deserving of it. It's really hard to be able to trust what anyone says or trust what even YOU think vs what you might feel.

He never gives away the meanings of his songs. He would rather people make up their own minds about what his meaning is in his lyrics.

Kicks ass

Came here cause of Shruti Hassan

they were right about you.

When that bass drops at the beginning I get a very Alice In Chains feel

Tool who is this never heard of them save the carrots

16 years ;)

This is younger sister of Tool 🤘🏾

Shouldnt every mass shooter listen to this .

Do some drugs bitch

I wish I knew about this song before, glad to hear it now though

Everyone’s here from resident evil. I’m here from guitar hero..

i'm here from the real world....

But when society is insomniatic there is no time for sleep....!

Where has this agression gone on "Fear anoculum"???!

Hooker With a Penis.

OH DAMM i used to use this song as an intro for my OG youtube channel back in the day, and now i found it after all this years... it came full perfect circle i guess : P

2019 😌👌

Listening to A Perfect Circle cured my virginity

Such a mess, coalesce?

It’s really hard to fathom (not really it’s just easier this way) how so much talent can exist in such a small frame.....I remember the days before Nevermind & I was lucky enough to witness now legendary bands just starting out & then eventually finding the success,attention & accolades they deserved (it killed some of them ) I mean Soundgarden,Pantera,RATM,Chili Peppers,Pearl Jam,AIC,Smashing Pumpkins,Helmet,Nirvana,Screaming Trees,Primus,Beastie Boys,Beck,STP,Radiohead,etc......but fuckin TOOL were always in a class by themselves,& then he puts out APC ( I know it’s Billy’s band but let’s be real) & that shit was just as successful as Tool for a time....I guess what I’m getting at is consider yourself blessed to be on this planet the same time as this man is making his best music.....I’ve described Tool to my older co-workers as a “Heavy Pink Fllyod” & Maynard (Tool as well) is a once in a generation if not lifetime artist,I also find it odd how Baby Boomers act like they don’t exist ,Tool nor APC have ever been on the cover of Rolling Stone ,what’s that tell ya? I mean those sellout soulless money grubbing phonies didn’t even put Chris Cornell on the cover after his death so FUCK Jan Wenner & his fuckin hippie bullshit rag....oh yeah will you fucks hurry up & die so I never have to hear about Woodstock again?

Precious is my pet name for the drugs I love

Lol your humor is funny even for a hating drug user like myself!!!

Its time mental strength was taught in Schools, everyone has it, you just need to be shown how to tap into it.
