A Perfect Circle – Passive
“Passive” is a song by the alternative rock group A Perfect Circle. The song is a remake of the song “Vacant” by the now-defunct band Tapeworm. “Vacant” was first performed by A Perfect Circle without Trent Reznor’s agreement. The song is used in the film Constantine and the music video uses imagery from the film: Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz’s character) entering hell. Lyrics: Dead as dead can be My doctor tells me But I just can’t believe him Ever the optimistic one I’m sure of your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up and face me Don’t play dead ’cause maybe Someday I will walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you’re better off this way Leaning over you here Cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection Of what you could and might have been It’s your RIGHT and your ability To become my perfect enemy Wake up (Why cant you?) And face me (Come on now) Don’t play dead (Dont play dead) ‘Cause maybe (Because maybe) Someday (Someday) I will walk away and say You disappoint me Maybe you’re better off this way Maybe you’re better off this way (×4) You’re better off this (×2) Maybe you’re better off… Wake up (Why can’t you?) And face me (Come on now) Don’t play dead (Dont play dead) ‘Cause maybe (Because maybe) Someday (Someday) I will walk away and say You fucking disappoint me Maybe you’re better off this way! Go ahead and play dead (GO!) I know that you can hear this (GO!) Go ahead and play dead (GO!) Why can’t you turn and face me? (WAKE UP!) Why can’t you turn …
