Thinking Of You
A Perfect Circle · Mer De Noms [2000]
Sleepless, unable to focus on anything but your surrender
Tuggin' a rythm to the vision that's in my head
Tuggin a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes
that unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eyes
Spent and sweatin with a look on your face like
Sweet Revelation Sweet Surrender
surrender, surrender, surrender
Tuggin' a rythm to the vision that's in my head
Tuggin a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes
that unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakeable sound I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eyes
Spent and Sweatin'
With a look on your face like
Sweet revelation, Sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation, Sweet
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Thinking...
Thinking Of You - A Perfect Circle
Released on the 2000 album Mer De Noms, 'Thinking Of You' stands as a defining track in A Perfect Circle's early discography. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of industrial metal and alternative rock, characterized by the driving rhythm section of Paul D'Alano and the atmospheric vocal delivery of Maynard James Keenan. As a centerpiece of their debut full-length, the recording captures the raw energy and melodic sensibilities that would later evolve into their more complex sound on albums like Thirteenth Step. The track remains a staple of their catalog, illustrating the group's ability to merge heavy instrumentation with introspective themes during their formative years in the mid-2000s alternative scene.
