This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm freely standing
On my own
Or am I falling
In the river of cold?
Those friends always ask me
Saying, "How you been?"
Well I've seen somber days
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
It's in the night time
When I'm feeling old
Or am I lonely?
I watched you go
My friends always wonder
Ask "How you been?"
Well I've seen better days
Am I mistaken?
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
On my own
Or am I falling
In the river of cold?
Those friends always ask me
Saying, "How you been?"
Well I've seen somber days
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
It's in the night time
When I'm feeling old
Or am I lonely?
I watched you go
My friends always wonder
Ask "How you been?"
Well I've seen better days
Am I mistaken?
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never around
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I'm not 100% sure if Scott mentioned that the lyrics are indeed about his father, but I think the song is really about him and Mary Forsberg (sic) .. Scott, in the past, has viewed himself as both a man and a woman from multiple standpoints.. (crackerman: "he's a man, he's a woman too.." .. lounge fly: "she said she'd be my woman, said she'd be my man.. etc.)
To dissect the song in my interpretation:
the first part is the biggest giveaway: "I'm freely standing on my own," - he's free from his marriage, no more burdening chains of being married.
"Or am I falling, in a river cold?" - Scott questions, is he really free? Or about to be really depressed that he is no longer with Mary?
"Those friends always ask me, saying "How you been?" - Friends always check up on divorcees to make sure they're doing okay, and not going off of the deep end via depression.
"Am I mistaken? Could you be sitting there lonely too?" Is a pre-cursor to the next lines (the chorus), Scott questions his thoughts in the chorus- he wonders if he's mistaken, that maybe she didn't really "didn't want him anymore," and that maybe she is left as lonely as he is.
"He was a man who didn't want me anymore," - Scott views Mary as the man in the relationship, she made the final decision to let him go, because of this he feels she didn't want him anymore.
The next line is the biggest clue that my interpretation may be correct:
"How much did you get for selling out my name?" - Forsberg wrote a biographical story about her and Weiland's marriage, labeled "Fall to Pieces," basically selling out Scott's name to make a small commercial fortune.
"Still won't forget those hazy days" - Scott was on drugs during their relationship, thus those were hazy days in his mind/eyes, due to his lack of sobriety.
What do you guys think? That's my interpretation, I'm a long-time STP fan, and a huge Scott Weiland fan. I overanalyze all of his cryptic lyrics, as I find all of them quite beautiful in nature.
to further clarify: Scott views himself as the woman in the relationship, because he's left still feeling emotional and in love and defenseless, much how society would normally depict a woman being left or divorced by her former lover.
finally this song is posted! this song is about how scott feels about his dad
about scotts daddy problems
Hazy Daze" was written by Robert and Dean. Weiland again surprised the band with the direction of his lyrics. While the song is "rocking and kicking", Weiland's lyrics focus on his issues with his father. Dean described the song as lyrically unhappy. "You know, you never know what kind of words somebody might put on your music, and this was one of those cases where I was really surprised... [Weiland] is in a dark place."]
copy and pasted that shit straight from wiki
anyone else think this is the best song off of the new album?
i must learn this song on guitar
really good song! my personal favorite from the new album alright its already been stated that this song is about scotts dad... im sure scotts addiction caused friction between them
like the only dark song on the album... well one could argue the lyrical content of bagman is somewhat dark ( being about a drug dealer ) but has very upbeat music to it i think scotts most impressive writings are songs like these where they are really personal and dark as well
scott and his pops are both notre dame fans... maybe they could go to a football game and forget all the bullshit :D
Can hear this playing in the background on a nice hot 100 degree day... beer in hand!
