Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Noose. By Songfacts®.

This is about what drugs do to you and how you perceive them. This song is about someone who has had a drug or drinking problem and went through the steps to get rid of it. Once free of the addiction this person denies he ever even had a problem. The song is a wake-up call to people like that, reminding them that they did have a problem and they shouldn't just erase it from their memory.

Maynard Keenan got the idea for the song from a friend who said something along the lines of "Don't let your halo choke you." After hearing that, Maynard ran to Billy Howerdel and told him he had an idea for a song.

All of the songs on the album correspond, though sometimes loosely, with one of the steps in the 12 Step Program. The 8th step is "Try to make a concerted effort to reach out to those you have harmed." Making amends.
