Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today
No conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long
To wait too long
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride, it leaves today
Her name is what it means
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today
No conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long
To wait too long
Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today
No conversation
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long
To wait too long
Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Conversations kill
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today

Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long
To wait too long
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride, it leaves today
Her name is what it means
Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Time to take her home
Her dizzy head is conscience laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
you guys, you have to take what weiland says the song is about with a grain of salt. It's definitely about drugs, something that weiland struggled severely with and which eventually took this amazing artist from us all. 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.
Driving faster in my car-------- 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.
Falling farther from just what we are------- Every addict knows this feeling well. You are no longer yourself. Or maybe this IS who you have become.
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more These conversations kill-----------------------
Referring to the constant conversations an addict has with themselves inside their head. I'll stop tomorrow/this is the last time...and the toll it takes on you. It's a depressing and lonely and awful conversation to have with yourself all the time.
Time to take her home, Her dizzy head is conscience laden Time to take a ride it leaves today No conversation Time to take her home her dizzy head is Conscience laden Time to wait too long, to wait too long To wait too long:
To me this stanza beautifully sums up the multiple conversations an addict has while they are holding drugs/waiting to blast off. 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. OR wait as long as possible, try your hardest. That cycle of drugs that is so hard to kick because you are so sad and confused. You know that there are only 2 ways you could possibly feels better. 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. Just thinking about it makes me nauseous. Either way, the entire time your conscience is just gnawing on your bones and on your heart and mind.
Too much walking shoes worn thin Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin------- a reference to the physical toll drug addiction takes, as well as the emotional/mental/spiritual toll
Her name is what it means: Obvious wordplay for heroin being his heroine.
Conversations kill: Basically saying that the internal conversations inside yourself never subside when this is your life.
That's only what this song means to me, having been severely addicted to drugs before. That hopeless feeling when you want to stop and just can't, over and over again.
i love this song btw. one of my favorites of all time
@mmessiah I really enjoyed your write-up. I think it's spot on honestly, and I also love this song. Unfortunately some of the greatest art comes from the worst suffering.
@mmessiah really good laying out of his thoughts. Aside from the struggle addiction, I wonder how his perception of the world was different because of it? And I wonder how you managed to make it out; hope you're still on the upside.
@mmessiah Wow - I read that early this AM and being an addict in recovery myself this is so on the mark. This song means a lot to me both from the time it came out and my own personal struggles.
@mmessiah I think your interp is pretty dead on. The language is clear to people with 'experience'. It describes the kinda shit addicts go through in their mind to rationalize, justify, normalize what you're about to do when you know damn well that you shouldn't. But you just can't help it. Getting clean takes practice and a lot of hard conversations. It takes one to know one....
Great take on these lyric. Got me thinking about conscience and con ersations with myself.
i think its about comin down and drivin home from a long night of craziness and stressful times and reflecting back on all you have said and done.
Well, I've done some investigation into various music magazines, websites, etc. 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.
"Drivin' faster in my car falling farther from just what we are" -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. "smoke a cigarette and lie some more these conversations kill falling faster in my car " -emphasizes the previous line, finds himself to be selling out to the industry. "Time to take her home her dizzy head is conscience laden time to take a ride it leaves today no conversation" -the band is becoming disallusioned, exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. Him "taking a ride" could be a possible reference to drugs, Weiland was known to be a heavy user.
"To much walkin', shoes worn thin too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin time to catch a ride it leaves today, her name is what it means to much walkin', shoe's worn thin" -Their To much walkin, shoes worn thin shows their heavy roaming, touring, etc. and how they are exhausted and feel they have been pushed to their limits. Her name is what it means refers to the name of the band.
And there you have it.
true fan
then why does he say take "her" home... no girls in STP
haven't thought of this....
"Take her home" as in the band.
@The Fallen Angel your interpretation in this case seems to completely be just your imagination and seems to be completely just your opinion. Which is fine because that's what this thread is for but come on lol
@The Fallen Angel I’m not saying your wrong…I’m just saying that’s not what he said in his book aside from the touring part. It’s very much about that, drugs, and a love interest at the time.

To me its about, for example, meeting a girl at a party who you may or may not know, getting completely slaughtered/boozed up, then trying to get her to come home with you in a cab/your car but all the while trying to avoid confrontational or awkward conversation that might fuck up your chances of getting her into bed. I feel that's the crux of the song because I can strongly relate to the situation!
I heard Scott introduced the song once by saying its about fucking someone in a car, and so it kind of makes sense in a way. It's just an interesting take on a kind of common human situation.
thats actually happened to me
hahaha
I love the far more artistic interpretations. And possibly there’s a duality in the lyrics to be taken different ways.
Sadly, for me, this song has always been about the terrifying moments where you’re trying to do the right thing, but this might be the one time you get to open up to someone about your feelings for them… all while dreading that even mentioning them risks rejection and also kind of being an asshole (because the subject of affection isn’t really feeling too great).
I guess my interpretation hinges on the lines, “Time to wager all, to wager all.,.”
Yah I agree with the drug-adiction analysis. I also think though that there's more about conscience in the song. 'Her dizzy head is conscience-laden' He wants to be normal and be with someone but it's difficult and he portrays her as either wanting to screw him or get him high. Song is a big wake-up for me.
This song is about drugs. "These conversations kill" applies to being sober. "Time to take a ride" means he wants to do drugs again to get away from it all. He's thinking about all of this while driving in his car. So when he says "take her home" he might not be talking about a girl at all, instead talking about getting high. "her name is what it means" could apply to the name of a drug.
Then again it could just be about a girl.
I agree with two people here, mainly.<br /> ReverendK´s point of view:<br /> I think that the song makes a great reference to drugs; <br /> "These conversations kill..." (conflicts in his head, no rest, good stuff vs bad stuff, should i or should i not drug myself)<br /> 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)<br /> Time to take a ride that leaves today no conversation..."(tripping, being stoned, leaves his mind clear, no conflict anymore, just relaxation)<br /> -<br /> <br /> "Too much walkin', shoes worn thin<br /> Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin"<br /> (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)<br /> <br /> 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")<br /> <br /> Ultimately, in the end, he has decided to continue doing 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.<br /> <br /> The other point I share is The Fallen Angel´s way of seeing it:<br /> 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 song is full of reflections from them. <br /> <br /> I love it, Scott´s stuff is amazing, so much room for interpretation, it helps everyone in the way they wanna see it. Great lyrics.
this songs not about drugs
def just about a girl not drugs... its gotta be about scotts first wife
What an awesome song. I've never been able to find a meaning from the lyrics, but oh well. The 30-second instrumental part in this song sounds sooo cool. I could listen to that one part over and over and over. The drums and bass sound sweet. STP ROCKS!!!!
I thought that the conversations kill bit was about his inability to relate to other people and how words have as much meaning as actions. How hes running out of energy excuses and lies and just has to take her home cos it hurts to much
Yah, and that's why he ends up using!
the chorus is sweet. One of the many great STP songs that i love. The Crow was a sweet movie and im glad STP got a chance to add to the pot.
...and yes, this song is about backseat fuckin
