This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All these dying days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him crying with the Mother Mary
All these dying days
Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord hear me pray
Can you ease my mind
Now they're gone forever
Jesus I done gone over
Sleeping alone you
Stay on your side
If I couldn't lie
Like all of a thousand other times
I wouldn't be on this highway
Taken on down this highway
All these dying days
Waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him crying with the Mother Mary
All these dying days
Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord hear me pray
Can you ease my mind
Now they're gone forever
Jesus I done gone over
Sleeping alone you
Stay on your side
If I couldn't lie
Like all of a thousand other times
I wouldn't be on this highway
Taken on down this highway
All these dying days
Waiting for the sunshine
Waiting for the sunshine

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I've just recently started listening these guys, heard about them through QOTSA, and I definetly love them. Too bad they're not around anymore, they are certainly better than most of today's bands. Mark's is probably my favorite voice.
From Wikipedia: "The record [Dirt] featured Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Mad Season playing the guitar solo on 'Dying Days', a track commemorating the death of several of Lanegan's close friends, and of the grunge scene in general."
I think this song is about the end of the Seattle grunge scene. Written not long after Kurt Cobain's death.
@judexyz Gary Lee Conner wrote most of it before Kurt\'s death, then Mark Lanegan wrote many of the lyrics after his death. Pretty interesting creation story.

And nobody commented on this thing? What the fuck is wrong with people?
This is one of the bands best. Period.
great great song. it's a shame the band aren't together again. Mark and the Connor's really were special. it's about perhaps his wasted days he had when he was on drugs and realized he is now regretting it
its so pathetic that no1 comments on screaming trees songs. they're so underrated. i guess everyone is too busy commenting on emo bands and rap music...
Most people are not smart enough to find a band like the Screaming Trees. I was led to them through Alice in Chains and after becoming familiar with how smart and developed their songs were, I read all the lyrics to every song on every album. Mark Lanegan has a real gift for poetry and vocal patterns. Consider this - the show Full House was on the air for almost 10 years - meaning it got high enough ratings, enough households were actually watching it on a daily or weekly basis to make it last for almost a decade. That's what you're dealing with. In other cases, people just don't 'get it'. They hear the music, but they don't really listen or have a good sense of dual perspective. They can't feel what is being expressed like others can. You can hear Mark Lanegan's pain, misery, anguish or wonder in each lyric. The master of this was Kurt Cobain. It's not a developed thing. When Kurt Cobain sang, it sounded like it came straight from his soul. There were no barriers, no filters, no falsity. Some people just can't detect that - they think he just sounds like a 'cat being killed' or a 'wounded animal'. The funny thing is - they actually got it right and didn't even know it. He was dying inside and that's what it sounds like. The song "No One Knows", "Troubled Times", "Too Far Away" and many others have elicited tears from me on many occasions. If you are ever faced with serious heartache, The Screaming Trees should join you.
I do enjoy this band very much mostly because of the rather mellow but still grungy music. I was first introduced when I looked for more bands similar to Blind Melon. Although there may not be much similarity I don't regret it for one second.
This song seems to reference some drugged up past. Now he feels empty inside and doesn't have anything to believe in.

Dirt was an album by Alice in Chains, also great. A must have for grunge lovers.
