| 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. | |

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. |

song is spelled wrong, but i can't believe no one's commented on this one. best pepper song ever. you can feel it. his girl is cheating on him and he can't believe it. he loves her to death and doesn't know why she's doing it. she's the last girl he wanted to be with, and now he's got nothing. |

my biased opinion, don't take it personally: you're all wrong. my interpretation of the song, again, don't get mad at me, i'm just being raw, much like the song. if anyone knows much 'bout Layne Staley(i know a little bit, he's one of my vocal idols), they know he had a long time search for his father, who he lost as a child. When Layne + dad met, Layne wound up using heroin because of his father's addiction, and a cash flow from Layne's newfound money from rock fame. Layne found out his dad was a jackass anyways.. was severly depressed about it. --------------- Actual lyric-to-explanation: "still you leave me rotting on the rock all alone" His dad abondoned him as a child. I almost cried at work listening to this shit. Reminds me directly about my life. Personal stuff, I know, but hey- it's music. "it's my fault for knowing not what I should have known" Layne believed it was not what fate wanted when he pushed the search for the skeleton-in-the-closet of a father he had. He believed it was a wrong decision to pursue the information found about his father's whereabouts. Sorry if this lacks detail, I'm ...... :D |
