Weak And Powerless (Tilling My Grave Mix)
A Perfect Circle · aMOTION [2004]
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, ravenous
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, ravenous
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
Promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate, ravenous
So weak and powerless
Desperate, ravenous
So weak and powerless over you
Over you
Weak And Powerless (Tilling My Grave Mix)
This track represents a pivotal moment in A Perfect Circle's discography, showcasing the band's evolution from their early nu-metal roots into a more mature, progressive metal sound. Released on the 2004 album aMOTION, the recording features frontman Joey Belladonna's signature vocal delivery, blending melodic sensibilities with the heavier, rhythmic intensity characteristic of the group's later work. The specific Tilling My Grave Mix highlights the band's experimentation with extended instrumental sections and atmospheric textures, distinguishing it from their earlier releases like Thirteenth Step. As a key component of the aMOTION catalogue, the song reflects the band's commitment to crafting complex, emotionally resonant compositions that pushed the boundaries of their genre during the mid-2000s era.
