Vasoline Lyrics
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
You'll see the look
And you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies
And you will
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
What's real and what's for sale
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
And you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies
And you will
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

i think that vasoline is about every human..we are the flies and the vasoline is life..no matter how hard we try we are always missing something and we can't see it untill it's way too late,
i believe its about looking for something you cant find, no matter how hard you look..
im sure thats how scott felt at the time... damn guy wasnt even able to enjoy his success =(

Oh and..the song is about "feeling like an insect under a magnifying glass.
I thought this song was about him searching for true love when all the women he meets are only after material things. He keeps letting these women fool him into thinking they really love him and not his money, only to be d*cked over again and again.
also, the reason they spelled 'vasoline' with an 'o' was to avoid copyright infringement since 'vaseline' is a registered trademark...
What you said... on both counts.

One, of my very favorite songs!!
Gotta love this song. The vocals are very sweet and I just love the whole cd. Its classic for Stone Temple Pilots.
what's not to love about this song? or stp for that matter? scott weiland should be worshipped for his genius and voice!!! this is their classic style at its best
his work is worshipped for sure
his work is worshipped for sure
I love this song. I don't quite have the message of it figured out, but im getting there. Scott is a lyrical genious, and I love everything that comes out of this band.
this song sounds like it could be a reference to beating it to porn. what's real and what's for sale....he realized that actual sex is different from looking in girly mags and spanking it. then of course the talk of vaseline, and the going blind line....hey that could be a reference to how people used to say you go blind if you wack off too much.
seriously, i'm kidding. i doubt scott weiland would devote an entire song about that, and then release it as a single.
also why do they spell it vasoline with an o?
someone in the band probaly mis spelt it.. then everyone else in the band pointed out the mis spelling... they all laughed and decided to keep it like that for the hell of it... thats what i envision at least for the reasoning behind the spelling

why the heck did you give an "interpretation" of this song which is clearly wrong and then say you were kidding all along? what's the point? is it just an excuse to bring porn into the conversation? pretty feeble attempt if you ask me.

btw i agree with HalfLifeSuicide's comment, it's clearly about how what you try to find can be so inconspicuous.

Obviously a song about love and how it seems to be so hard to find. "Flies in the vasoline" is a metaphor for the often futile attempt to find real love, hence the flies stuck in vaseline in the beginning of the video.

"Blew a kiss and tried to take it home"... "Think I'd be safer all alone"... come on, it's not that hard to figure out.

im not real sure what this song is about, but i think it has somethin to do with whats real and whats fake. he's tryin to figure out the difference between the truth and whats being advertised to us. it reminds me of a commercial or something advertising a product and how it's so great but they say all that bs just to sell the product and it's not necessarily the truth. he says how we are all stuck in between what's real and whats not (flies in the vasoline we are).
