He did it for us all😢…
If I must quote from “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”…“God compels you!”…" look at what your “God” has done to me!"
Your on point, he is angry at god because she always done the best for her god and she died she was a saint. He’s having a go at god because she was a saint and now where? This also is an expression of his tool album that aligns.
God inst the one that inflicts sickness its the other dude

He did it all for yooooooooooooooooooooooooou! That last one is about as epic as it gets.
have to give credit to David Fincher directing this great video!
You must check out Orestes by A Perfect Circle. It’s almost visceral its literal lyrics until you dig deep past the surface and hear the metaphorical meaning. Orestes, Orestes, Orestes…
Check out A singularity by Puscifer for an emotional ride. Maynards best work is with Puscifer, IMO
He’s not mad at God. Atheists are not mad at God. Fuck I’m sick of this being said.
We’re pissed at the people who believe in this nonsense and their disconnect from reality
This is one of the greatest songs ever composed. No hyperbole. The conveyance of raw emotion with the artistic expression is incomparable.
This song shakes me to my core. I had a mother with DID among other things. Her endless faith with all of her abuse and other things she actually believed she deserved it all. Faith can help or harm, and often at the same time.
It was somehow put on Maynard to make the decisions regarding DNR and stopping the life support for his mother.
The APC song Orestes is Maynard expressing what he went through with that kind of responsibility.

He is angry with his mother’s stupid belief. Because she blindly believes in something that is not consistent with what happened to her.
April 17, 2000 was my golden birthday (when you turn the age that’s the same as the day it falls on).
Turns out my favorite band, NIN, would be playing in my state THAT DAY! As such, I got 3 tickets for my two best friends and I.
That ended up being a night to remember…
First, Reznor came on stage before the opening act started, and told everyone that his good friend was touring with them and that “today” was his birthday. So he asked us all to please wish Maynard James Kenan a happy birthday!
#1… Both friends looked at me
There was an unspoken “dude, you share a birthday with MAYNARD!!” conveyed in their faces. And my own for that matter! lol
#2… Wait, Maynard is opening for NIN?? Yup, that was when all 3 if us were introduced to A Perfect Circle, headed by he who is part of our OTHER favorite band: Tool!
I could not have asked for, nor planned, a better birthday than that.
Will forever rank as the best birthday… not that any of them come close to it either way.
