A Perfect Circle - Blue (Official Video) {HD 720p}

Ripped from aMotion DVD

[TheLuckybuddy]

if you watch the commentary for this video done by Maynard, he explains that the song is about being in denial that your loved one has died, pretending they're not actually dead. Noticing how the beautiful the blue in their eyes are, but not noticing how their skin is blue, because they're dead. I can relate, watching someone die from cancer is exactly like this. You're in denial the entire time, you don't want to believe it. Then it happens, and you're numb. Love Perfect Circle and Tool, Maynard is one talented dude

this ENTIRE album awakened feelings in me as a 12 year old that i wasn't ready to face or articulate till my 20s/30s. no complaints just....thank you.

I remember having have bought this CD. It was a special edition and had this video in it... I was 15 at that time and English was not my native tongue. I thought it was weird but I liked it.... Now I am 34, and I understand it well. Love it and always will, as well as other APC and tool songs.

As a clean recovering addict I can completely love and appreciate this song and video on so many levels. I have love and lost and struggled to find myself constantly even when I didn't want to know. Coming out the other side of near death and life experience I can relate to the pain of living with à corpse, whether it be myself or my addiction. Life isn't fair in who it chooses to take or bury, but today I choose to live and recover and love those who have fought any significant battle and won, no matter the consequence! Peace and blessings to all.

this is the official, APC gave the opportunity for one of their fans to create the video for them, this is what they choose and it fits the music perfectly

5 years ago my girlfried has died in car accident. She was remarkable very promising person, who for sure could make this world a better place. After that everything has truned to shit in the most fucked up way possible, and still getting worse, even after 3 years in coma thanks to traumatic brain injury and sudden schizophrenia of my best friend. Everytime, watching this clip, I'm asking myself a question, who is more dead - she, existing only in my mind and forcing me push through this destructible times no matter what, or me after all this damage, acting like a ghost in my attempts to repeat everithing what we did. Anyway, I love this song. It's a nice fucking song.

I think this song is a wonderful insight into why a codependent is codependent as well as a poignant insight on loving an addict (and all the scenarios those two situations can symbolically represent). I could be looking too far into it but it fits for me, I really love this song, so many layers of meaning. :)

This video will not make any sense to anyone who has never loved an addict. I have, and this video is absolutely perfect for this song. Loving an addict is like loving a corpse. You make a nice dinner and they might sit at the table with you, but they're not really there and you're the only one eating. You crave their touch, but you have to guide their hands because they're too gone to lift their arms. You kiss their lips, but they don't kiss back because they're not conscious enough to feel it. And all the while, you're in denial even though you know full well what's happening. You can't stand the thought of losing them, so you just ignore the smoke and smile.  

This video makes me cry. This is EXACTLY what it's like to watch the one you love kill themselves with drugs.

Dude this video is so chilling. Its not overdone, stays so simple and conveys such a creepiness accompanied with the song.

[lmoneydizzle]

This video is the contest winner that apc for fan music videos when the album was released. I was entered in this contest as well. Great video, I tried to make my video like a Tool vid.

[hhansen]

maynard is a badass songwriter. great album on addiction. He conveys from beginning of the album with the music and lyrics how sick to the door you become.

[otex]

I hate when people say a song has a certain meaning when it doesn’t. Because music is like poetry, you can interpret it anyway you want

[derekrooney]

the video is really sad, she dug up her man because she missed him so much she couldnt take it anymore, she wanted to look pretty for him one last time feel his touch again, when you love someone so much its hard to let them go without dying yourself sometimes, i can feel her loss in her emotion, a really good actor they picked for this video.

[ДарьяБаш-щф]

I think it could be compared with few different situations. Depends on emotional conditions, current problems. Love this song. Playing it again and again. It makes my inner space suck me into it like a black hole.

[ivanatinoabramovi]

First, a lot of respect for the whole group, secondly, I want to thank my older brother because he taught me everything about your music. I will come to your concert in his honor. he wanted to, but unfortunately he couldn't because the cancer was stronger. thank you Prefect Circe
thanks Tool
thanks Pucifer
thank you very much bro for giving me knowledge about the best group in the world
lots of love and greetings from Croatia

as a life long addict myself i can assure you all that some of us do possess the potential to love something other than our needed fix. I have accepted that i play an important role in that my chosen life is meant as a warning to others of what to expect following in my footsteps. Some of us die so that others can live...

It's about a man and a woman (Presumably in a relationship) and the man is watching the woman OD on Heroin. The song says "Call an optimist, She's turning blue, such a lovely color for you" And in the lyric "She's turning blue", When ODing on heroin you tend to turn blue and the man says to "Call an optimist... Such a perfect color for you" He is trying to be optimistic but he know that she is dying, but he says "I don't wanna know" He doesn't want to know what's happening but he does. When he says "Mistook the nods for an approval, Heroin addicts usually will "Nod" which is them kinda (Might not be an accurate description) falling asleep but waking up which is called the "Nods"...

[brandonhendrixson]
