| Stone Temple Pilots – Plush Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I agree that this song was written by D.D. from inspiration of a young girl who was raped and killed. Think of the what the title means, Plush- excessively extravagant or luxurious. Exige, in 2002, is closest to the "dogs begin to smell her" metaphorical meaning. How would a cheating girl be associated with rape, and murder? That meaning is out. I agree with the Obsessive relationship theory. This is about a guy who understands what a girl, of such rare beauty, has to go through in life. The obsession of her comes from his understanding of her and his desire for her, but the question becomes: can he overcome all the distractions of other men promising her the "good life". The "lies to come" are from other men or the dogs sniffing around her. "would you even care"- does she care that these are only lies or is she open to the promise of what the lies can offer. The "mask" is the mask she wears to play the game. The obsessed guy discovers she's wearing this mask and needs to rely on it the fact that it is only a mask and it can be removed. He's willing to wait for tomorrow- he's "got time". He feels it. One day, maybe tomorrow, she'll realize the bullshit she's been putting up with. When that day comes, it's his best chance to have her. |
