A Perfect Circle - Pet - a visual interpretation

[Lestat]

First.. just read these lyrics and tell me what comes to mind.

I'll reply with a post with my visual interpretation.


Pet
Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window
And 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

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 and the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drum
The boogeymen cometh
The boogeymen cometh
Keep your head down
Go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep

So now.. read this and look at the pictures:


Pet

Step away from the window

Count the bodies like sheep

Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep

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

Your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from

I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep

I didn't look at any of that. But I will say. It is one of the 3 best songs on the album.

 

[Lestat]

Look at it man, it only takes a minute.

And yeah Pet - Track 10.. is one of the best. The first track is awesome too.

[Nathan]

Track 3 is the best track on there.

 

[anabolicmd]

Sounds a lot like Megadeath's "symphony of destruction" just from seeing that, but Im sure its great, Maynard is pretty ingenious.

Lestat, I have to admit, your visual representation is right on. I am sure some of the intent by Maynard was to point to the war on Iraq or just Government power in general.
