This one takes a sharp u-turn from the last I posted.
I love the other one, mostly because the words are perfect for me and the lovely lady who dedicated it to us. This song on the other hand is by one of my favorite bands and just generally sounds great.

There's something awesome about A Perfect Circle. You have some of the undertones of TOOL's style with them (which considering Maynard is the singer, it's not hard to imagine why.), but at the same time, they've got their own sound. While TOOL is murky and deep and at times orderly yet chaotic and creepy, calculated and random, yet artistic (Only listening to them will make you understand.), A Perfect Circle is a lot more artistically balanced, refined and emotionally deep, with fitting music.

Two songs I really like off the Mer De Noms (which translates from french to Sea of Names) are The Hollow and Magdalena. Lyrics and youtube links as followed :

The Hollow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avgiqNapUx0

Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One Motive
Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour

Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

Magdalena

overcome by your moving temple
overcome by this holiest of altars
so pure, so rare
to witness such a lovely goddess

i lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
before your holiest of altars

i'll sell my soul, my self esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss
one taste of you my magdalena

i've beared witness to this place, this lair, so long forgotten
so pure, so rare, to witness such a lovely goddess

and i'd sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time for one chance, one kiss,
one taste of you my black madonna


i'll sell my soul, my self-esteem
a dollar at a time

for one taste, one taste
one taste of you my magdalena
