#Stone temple pilots lyrics full
The song is full of reflections from them. Maybe Scott thinks it´s been too long with all the tours and stuff, and the band is tired, and maybe even finds it pointless to go on, which is why it is now the BIG EMPTY, and at that point, their mind is set to have none of this anymore.just ready to stop it all, saying there is no space for debating on it -time to take a ride that leaves today, no conversation. The other point I share is The Fallen Angel´s way of seeing it: He says that "conversations kill", which to me says that he will not pursue this battle in his head, he´s just gonna go for it and keep doing what gives him peace. Ultimately, in the end, he has decided to continue doing it. Time to catch a ride it leaves today, her name is what it means (her name is what it means, meaning ride, you take a ride, you "take a trip") (thinking again about doing it or not, he knows he´s troubled and smoking is an easy way to be free, -stopping the walk- but he also knows he´s done it too much) Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin" Time to take a ride that leaves today no conversation."(tripping, being stoned, leaves his mind clear, no conflict anymore, just relaxation)
Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience laden (his mind is made up, he is satisfied and tranquil -conscience laden- with his decision.to smoke pot for relief) "These conversations kill." (conflicts in his head, no rest, good stuff vs bad stuff, should i or should i not drug myself) I think that the song makes a great reference to drugs Her name is what it means refers to the name of the band. and how they are exhausted and feel they have been pushed to their limits. Their To much walkin, shoes worn thin shows their heavy roaming, touring, etc. It leaves today, her name is what it means Him "taking a ride" could be a possible reference to drugs, Weiland was known to be a heavy user. the band is becoming disallusioned, exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. emphasizes the previous line, finds himself to be selling out to the industry. He tells of how he feels his band has begun to lose sight of it's original purpose, and become more pop-rock, something the band has been accused of numerous times. and I came across an article that featured Scott Weiland saying he wrote this song about his band being on tour for so long and being ready to just quit and go home for some well-deserved rest. General CommentWell, I've done some investigation into various music magazines, websites, etc. That hopeless feeling when you want to stop and just can't, over and over again. That's only what this song means to me, having been severely addicted to drugs before. Obvious wordplay for heroin being his heroine.īasically saying that the internal conversations inside yourself never subside when this is your life. Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin-Ī reference to the physical toll drug addiction takes, as well as the emotional/mental/spiritual toll Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.Įither way, the entire time your conscience is just gnawing on your bones and on your heart and mind. 1) STOP NOW, ONCE AND FOR ALL AND NEVER TOUCH DRUGS AGAIN -or- 2) JUST ADMIT DEFEAT AND TAKE THE FUCKING DRUGS IN YOUR POCKET. You know that there are only 2 ways you could possibly feels better. That cycle of drugs that is so hard to kick because you are so sad and confused. OR wait as long as possible, try your hardest. That debilitating internal monologue.take them now, while you are still high and never come down, take them right now before you feel the withdrawls, no conversation, just do it. To me this stanza beautifully sums up the multiple conversations an addict has while they are holding drugs/waiting to blast off. It's a depressing and lonely and awful conversation to have with yourself all the time. I'll stop tomorrow/this is the last time.and the toll it takes on you. Referring to the constant conversations an addict has with themselves inside their head. In his autobiography weiland told stories of his driving through LA, high as a kite after scoring drugs and driving home full of giddy anticipation in order to use them.įalling farther from just what we are-Įvery addict knows this feeling well. He had a very complex relationship with drugs, simultaneously glorifying them (very often) and being ashamed of his use of them, often lying and saying he was no longer on them when he clearly was. It's definitely about drugs, something that weiland struggled severely with and which eventually took this amazing artist from us all.
My Interpretationyou guys, you have to take what weiland says the song is about with a grain of salt. Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
