| Stone Temple Pilots – Sour Girl Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots captures, in both music and lyrics, the grief, sadness, and confusion of dealing with a lost love. The song was written by frontman in Scott Weiland about his then-wife Mary Forsberg, who he divorced shortly after the release of the album. The song's title “Sour Girl” refers to an image of Mary that was used to promote the album and represents the “sour” feelings between the two lovers. The track starts off with a soft, acoustic guitar and the lyrics, “I was the one who had it all/But what good does it do me now” which express the singer’s confusion and grief. Throughout the song, he reflects on their past and expresses his longing for her now that she is gone. In verse two, he states “the more you change/the more it feels the same” suggesting that his pain hasn’t left, despite his attempts to move on. By the end of the song, he clearly has not come to terms with the loss of his love and acknowledges the pain he still feels: ‘I still feel it deep inside/She's still living in my mind. The final chorus emphasizes the conflicting feelings he has in the wake of their separation by chanting, “sour girl, take it all away.” The singer longs for his former lover to take away his broken heart and the lingering pain associated with their breakup. Despite the underlying sadness in the song, it conveys a sort of hope in the idea that the singer will someday be able to move on. Ultimately, Sour Girl is an honest portrayal of the complexity and emotion of a broken relationship. It speaks to the confusion that comes with a sudden breakup and the mixture of grief and longing that goes along with it. The song serves as a reminder that love can end but the feelings associated with it can last much longer. |
