A Perfect Circle -- TalkTalk

submitted by MilkmanDan
6 years 7 months ago

Another new single from A Perfect Circle's new album Eat the Elephant.

Considering the lyrics, I think this one is a not-so-subtle jab at right-wing politicians and their base's NRA-friendly responses to gun violence and mass shootings. Could be me projecting, but I doubt it. Assuming that take is correct, this one definitely has a bit of a controversial message -- not that A Perfect Circle or Keenan are exactly shy about that sort of thing in their music.

Lyrics from https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/perfectcircle/talktalk.html:

You're waiting on miracles
We're bleeding out
Thoughts and prayers, adorable
Like cake in a crisis
We're bleeding out
While you deliberate
Bodies accumulate

Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus
Sit and talk like Jesus
Talk like Jesus
Talk, talk, talk, talk
Get the fuck out of my way

Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Don't be the problem, be the solution
Problem, problem, problem, problem

Faith without works is
Talk without works is
Faith without works is
Dead, dead, dead, dead

Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus
Sit and talk like Jesus
Try walking like Jesus

Try braving the rain
Try lifting the stone
Try extending a hand
Try walking your talk or get the fuck out of my way

Yeah, you appear to be right about the meaning. I can't think of any other way to interpret that. I fucking love this.

The lyrics are somewhat more ... direct than Maynard's usual stuff.

"Thoughts and prayers ... adorable" is such an awesome burn. In just 1 additional word!

Yeah, you appear to be right about the meaning. I can't think of any other way to interpret that. I fucking love this.
