Song lyrics
Tilling my own grave to keep me level 
Jam another dragon down the hole 
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren 
One that pushes me along and leaves me so 

Desperate and Ravenous 
I'm so weak and powerless over you 

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China 
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom 

Desperate and Ravenous 
I'm so weak and powerless over you 

Little angel go away 
Come again some other day 
The devil has my ear today 
I'll never hear a word you say 
He promised I would find a little solace 
And some piece of mind 
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so 

Desperate and Ravenous 
I'm so weak and powerless  
Desperate and Ravenous 
I'm so weak and powerless over you

How does a song's being mainstream make any difference on weather its good or not... any at all... thats pretty weird.

This is an OK song, not their best... the tilling my own grave remix was sweet

Do you guys like like 13th Step better than Mer de Noms? At first I thought 13th Step didn't light a candle to Mer de Noms but after listening to it in their concert I'm definately digging both now.

Who gives an eff if the song's mainstream or not?
Does it belittle Maynard and his band's songwriting ability to have a mass amount of people dig it?
I think not.
The song's about addiction.
Not necessarily addiction to drugs-- people can be fiends for lots of things.
It's about searching and longing and waiting for whatever it is you need, feeding the proverbial monkey on your back.
"He promised I would find a little solace and some peace of mind. Whatever, just as long as I don't feel so desperate and ravenous. I'm so weak and powerless over you."
A beautiful song with universal meaning.
Love Maynard and A Perfect Circle.

Yes...I agree...how does a song's being mainstream make the song any less great? Hell, I didn't even know it WAS mainstream...

*ahem* Anyways, this song is great. It can mean many different things, depending how you look at it. I've always loved its mellow guitars and mysterious lyrics. APC rocks!

I'm sure most of these idiots think it's mainstream because they saw it once on MTV.

Yo this song is off the shit man APC rocks..not even in the same league as Dread Zeppelin but still good....DREAD ZEPPELIN ROCKS

Weak and powerless is amazing...awesome guitar riffs(very confusing to play tho) and the vocals are amazing, although the lyrics are a little fucked up..theyre still good

I smack people in the head who dont like APC

MMmmmmm... Maynard.

As it's already been pointed out, this song is obviously about addiction as it is indeed from Thirteenth Step, and Maynard's explanation of it on the APC DVD is pretty awesome. It pretty much goes hand in hand with a memior about addiction called 'A Million Little Pieces' - and it's amazing how you can appreciate the lyrical content so much more when you understand (point of view of?) the addict. [must fill fill fill]

Awesome shite
