| Stone Temple Pilots – Sex And Violence Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
This song is perhaps reminiscent in content and meaning of Nymphetamine by Cradle of Filth. My own experience has no doubt tainted and moulded my perspective about this song, in fact, it's really, really, obvious with the way I will no doubt phrase this, but perhaps that's a good thing in order to produce a heartfelt interpretation of art. This is about being in love with someone despite being treated with bullshit the entire time; having your feelings being toyed with; about finally drawing a line and saying "Fuck you. Fuck off." - "I used to love you, now I don't care."
This is a person that despite your decision to shun and treat with the same coldness, you can't escape in life - this is someone you cross paths with often - "Now I turn around, you're everywhere."
Being treated with either coldness, or in such an up-and-down manner that it's as if you're simply being used during the good times - "So you can chew me up and spit me out, you're just the little bitch I cared about.", "You hold me captive and it's not fair, but this insanity is everywhere." |

| Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl Lyrics

To me this song reminds me of myself in that I think it's somewhat of a reflection on emotional teenage years; crushes, dreams about teenage relationships lasting forever. This is what it means to me - Weiland, of course, wrote it about his ex-wife. Regardless, Weiland and the rest of the band were absolute geniuses and it's a shame that Stone Temple Pilots fell apart because of Scott's drug addictions, although I guess a guy who's all there mentally doesn't make a great artist, does he? |

This song seems to be about changes in life, leaving the life you've grown used to and life, perhaps maturing and growing up, and reflecting on lost oppertunities or past loved ones. |

Sounds like a typical love song to me. So simple and well-written - I love it. Michael Stipe has such a cool voice. The alien abduction theory makes more sense if the lyrics are to be taken more literally. |

Awesome song with a cool bluesy solo. Zakk Wylde's voice is cool, as is is playing, as I need not say. I'm not too clear on the meaning, but I can see the "One more drink, a nervous breakdown then another war" being about America though. |

I'm the first? This is an amazing song! Fucking rocks! As far as I can figure, it's quite simply about all the bullshit life throws at you, and sucking it up and taking it all. |

| R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics

I can kinda relate, at least in the way that I see its meaning. The way I see it, it's about being in love with someone, but having them taken away from you by someone else, or being pre-occupied with someone else as well, and losing your faith, or "losing your religion" in this thing that once seemed so great and so sure. |

I think it's about all the crappy things that make a crappy day, and I can just as easily see it being about, like that guy said earlier, about America's political "Bad Day" with Big Chief Asswipe himself Dubya. |
