A Perfect Circle - Disillusioned [Audio] 

Lyrics: We have been overrun by our animal desire Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware Feeding this mutation, this pavlovian despair We've become disillusioned So we run towards anything glimmering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis and re connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond We've become disillusioned So we dive like crows towards anything glittering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis and re connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher

Maynard has a voice that can make me go from enraged with passion, to calm and at the point of shedding tears...

Lyrically, this is the best song I’ve heard in a while. Holy shit!

Maynard’s voice feels so alien. It’s such a mix between genres. Just beautiful singing all around. Really want more of it, it’s just that good.

Maynard's vocals here are unlike anything I've ever heard him do. Such a powerful meaning. Everything about this song connects on another level.

i wish my ex was alive to hear this.. he'd be as absolutely excited as i am right now to hear new APC. makes me miss him.. beautiful song so far.. love the piano.

This guy's voice is so fucking haunting, he is one of the best singers I've ever heard across genres. Much love to Maynard and the band for making great music with a message in these fucked up times.

The voice effects maynard uses are really magical. It brings you in a church; just keep your eyes closed, breath slowly, feel, think and make the world better by your decisions.

This Is How To Start A Perfect Year

The best way to start 2018. Now for Tool to release their album and 2018 will be perfect.

This song is a waking call, I've never felt so connected with some lyrics before. A big salute for them and for those who also feel it....you are awesome!

"You were never an island." - Breaks me, every fucking time.

Listening to a song for the first time is one of the best feelings, and to get it right at the start of the year, thank you! ✨

Perfect timing. I needed a chill apc song for this New Years hangover

I almost forgot to listen to this today.

If this is what A Perfect Circle sounds like these days, I can't even imagine what Tool is going to sound like. I'll probably die from awesomeness listening to that.

2018 is off to a good start!

Thanks for the New Year gift!!1

His voice never ceases to amaze me. Wonderful song

Yesterday they played in Austin my dad surprised me and took me to the concert it was so cool! And it was my first concert ever and i really enjoyed it, my dad even got me a necklace with the perfect circle logo and i love it!!! And this is one of my favorite songs from apc, i also love "talktalk" i love my dad lol!

Ive been a good boy so far this year. I earned this.

This made my morning. The first of the year, really REALLY wasn't looking forward to going to work today then heard this. Makes waking up sooooo much easier. My first good memory of 2018. You guys continue to inspire me and move me forward, ever since the summer of 2000. So fucking beautiful. Thank you so much ;)

This song gives me chills. What an amazing artist.

I will never have the chance to “grow up to this song”, but I am definitely growing old with it. Thank you APC for another stellar song.

New year couldnt start better

The best way to begin the year.

Maynard James Keenan you rock!!! I feel very lucky to be able to listen to this song whenever i need some humbling and grounding. My hero MJK.

No really this band is amazing so much talent

Oh the irony of having to watch this on my iPhone.

Really love the message of this song. Maynard is a wordsmith.

lyrics [Intro] Dopamine On dopamine [Verse 1] We have been overrun by our animal desire Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair [Pre-Chorus] We've become Disillusioned So we run Towards anything glimmering [Chorus] Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher [Interlude] Dopamine On dopamine [Verse 2] Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond [Pre-Chorus] We've become disillusioned So we dive like crows towards anything glittering [Chorus] Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher

Words do not describe the power and elegance of this song

-Asleep -4am phone alert goes off -Checks phone hopes its not too important. -See's its A Perfect Circle -Fully wakes up and plays song -Then repeats song and enjoy song again

(Dopamine, on dopamine...) We have been overrun by our animal desire Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair We've become disillusioned So we run towards anything glimmering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher (Dopamine, on dopamine...)

They were kinda like that band that I SHOULD have payed attention to in highschool. They are so transcendant, and this song proves they haven't lost their talent. :D

I watched them play this song live and me and my brother just looked at each other with tears in our eyes. This song makes me feel.

All I care about is Maynard creating music. Whether it be Tool, APC or Puscifer.

Maynard is like his wine, getting better with age!

My god...this is beautiful!

Maynard's voice makes me feel all warm and bubbly inside

God.... That voice

True masters of the craft. These guys can do no wrong.

Maynard has the ability to tap into the collective emotion of humanity and construct beautiful, deeply resonating, music out of it. This song fits us as a species right now perfectly.

This is so beautiful and explains the reasoning behind APC not allowing cell phones out during their shows. Tune in, enjoy, look ahead and not down. I love this song. Maynard always makes meaningful, masterful, art.

I seriously can't stop listening to this.

[Dopamine] [On dopamine] We have been overrun by our animal desire Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair We've become disillusioned So we run towards anything glimmering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning in to each other, lift all higher Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond We've become disillusioned So we dive like crows towards anything glimmering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning in to each other, lift all higher

This almost made me cry.. I love it!

This song is now part of my daily routine.... so beautiful and peaceful. Close my eyes and drift away.... Thank you APC, this song couldn't have come at a better time in our lives. Peace and Love!

I hope all of you understand this song...this is the first time a long time ive posted anything online in like a year at all but people this message is important show everyone you know this song and explain to them the spell they are under... the only importance is sharing love with your brothers in this choir of beauty put down the phones find a way in the silence talk to your brothers and sisters not just blood all of them we are here together

Ahhh that voice

Every time geting amazed by Maynard ability to talk about our unity in new words, Crying

This has become my favorite A Perfect Circle song. That guitar riff by Billy in the chorus is hypnotic.

It collided with me when I was on biggest hangover ever full of really bad thoughts, depression and emptiness. It've flushed away all the negative feelings. Thank you APC.

You know, every once in a while I hear a song that hits me with an indescribable feeling. It's as if every emotion of my being has been ripped out of me and thrown into a tornado. It leaves me static and numb, almost feeling like all air has been sucked out of my lungs and I'm left floating in the deepest part of our ocean. This is one of them songs.

'addicts of the immediate keeps us obedient and unaware'. To understand Maynard... fucking therapy!! Yes. ❤️🖤.

Listening to Mr Maynard for over 20 years now and he just keeps producing epic music. Timeless bands. My life has been constructed around his lyrics.

First song I listened to in 2018

Thank you APC for this music. "You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir" - This is my line for 2018

Orestes is still their finest track for me... i miss those feelings, i was so young and stupid..

Hearing this the first time after listening to 7empest just shows Maynard’s pure talent

Oh APC on the New Years Day? Thanks. The song is everything I'd expect from the band.

This music heals me.

Maynard is a vocal/lyrical genius. He heals and soothes.

This song was the anthem of my first acid trip. Sitting on a riverbank on a cold, cloudy day. As he said "take a look around" I blinked and the sun broke through the clouds, illuminating the water and trees surrounding me. It was amazing. This song will always remind me of that day

Chills with this one , pure power , wow

How sweet of you Maynard, and of course the rest of A Perfect Circle, for this wonderful song to start the year! 2018 ❤🎆❤

I really like listening to this song on my phone in particular.

This is an amazing song. I wanted it to be my first song that I listened to in this new year 2023. It's just after midnight in Australia on 2023. Here's to everyone coming here in 2023 to listen to this perfect song. By this awesome band.

Great way to wake up to the new year!

Kicking off 2018 with a new A Perfect Circle song! It doesn't get any better than this! 🤘

I love to listen to this song while browsing my phone

These words are coming at a much needed time in the world. APC is going to wake people up.

Damnit Maynard....why am I crying?

Once a again APC does not disappoint. This is fucking good.

I love this band!

Teared up reading the lyrics alone. Artistry at it's finest.

so atmospheric

I love the direction that a perfect circle seems to be taking with songs like this 'doomed' and 'by and down'

One of my favorite bands to listen to. Thankfully my son turned me on to A Perfect Circle and Tool.

"You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher"

That left me speechless bravo guys. I commend you on putting a little light into a dark world. You've made superb use of your mind blowing talent.

I am so in love with this song. I love love love APC

When i was listening To this Song, 2 years ago, everyone told me, that i was crazy,Now. ...alone in The Woods walking....i understand that....i am The sober one...And everyone lose control. ...

Usually I don't care about lyrics but with Maynard Im obsessed with his lyrics. This song is Fucking beautiful!

This piece of music brought me to tears... Thank you...

That moment when the whole world has to stop so you can listen peacefully.

A new Perfect Circle album would be amazing right now

Between this and the doomed I’m blown away at how much I relate to the sounds, words and message you’re putting out there *standing ovation*

Wow. ❣️ Happy new year everyone. And thanks APC for starting our new year with this beautiful song. Wish you a very happy new year and hope you all have great year ahead.

Maynard is a fucking genius.

This song brought on uncontrollable tears, anyone else?

this song was so beautiful it nearly made me cry impressive most impressive guys :') the saddest thing about me watching this is that I'm viewing this on my silicone obsession 😢

Perfect new year start

Oh man between this and The Doomed I can't waited this is going to be a hell of an album!

i love it when he says island god damn beautiful

"You were never an island." Fuck me, Maynard, that hit home. Beautiful work.

This is really pure and impressive at the same time. I love it.

This song makes me want to quietly sip some wine while taking a moment to remember every person 2017 stole from us. Here's to us all and a phenomenal 2018.

The more I listen to this the more it grows on me! Very tranquil, and euphoric, it puts me on cloud 9

''Find a way in the silence''
