Stone Temple Pilots – Wicked Garden Lyrics 8 years ago
This song is about Drugs. His own Drug use.
Scott is looking for Heroine (personified).

Can you feel like a child?
Can you see what I want?

He is just telling the world he wants to see the world as an innocent child.

I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find ya

He desires Heroine. However, to get to her, you have to do some harmful wicked s--t to yourself to get to her playground, hence, 'wicked garden'.

But I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

He is fooling himself here and thinking that he is all sensible, sober and can journey into her garden without any problems.

Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?

He is putting these questions to Heroine.


I wanna drink from you naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows

He wants a drink from Heroine. After drinking Scott believes he can drown his own sorrow as well as anyone else's.

I'm gonna burn, burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you

You Burn Heroine with a spoon to get her out of her chains.


Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?

Pleading to the world to see Scott's point of view. We all know he has a martyr syndrome.

Can I bring you back to life?
Are you scared of life?

Question to self to self as he is getting high. Some metaphorical 3rd person POV thing going on here.

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

Burning Heroine out of her wicked garden. This just means the act of burning the drug.


Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?

Some more Self Questioning and metaphorical s--t. Its vague, but could also probably be throwing the questions back to Heroine as well.
