Dumb Love Lyrics
Loud talk, dumb love, lacerator
Come and touch
Bleed to feel, feel to fuck
Keep ya comin', comin' back for more
Alcohol, it's a lie, stimulate a needle in your eye
Let it bleed, blow your mind
Touched myself, nearly went blind
Couldn't find a way to live though the pain
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't get outta bed
Ten ton bricks layin' on my head
Persecute the crucified
Kill a man for losing his mind
Couldn't find a way to live through the shame
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, you're all alone
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, your secret's known
Come and touch
Bleed to feel, feel to fuck
Keep ya comin', comin' back for more
Let it bleed, blow your mind
Touched myself, nearly went blind
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Ten ton bricks layin' on my head
Persecute the crucified
Kill a man for losing his mind
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Deceive yourself, you're all alone
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, your secret's known

I'm pretty sure this is about his drug addiction. That would be his true "Dumb Love" in life and the media hell he had to go through because of it. "Persecute the crucified" means the media is persecuting a guy who already killed himself i.e. Scott. Plus, the specific mentions of alcohol and needles and such give it away.
A great song. When I fist heard it I thought it was about masterbation. "Touched myself and nearly went blind" referring to preppy parents who tell their kids if they masterbate they will go blind.
Seems to be about drugs. "Couldn't find a way to live through the pain/shame..." Maybe the dumb love means he has an affection for drugs and the feeling he gets via use but he knows in the end it is a dumb decision and its killing him.
I think most of the songs of this album talk about his adiction!
thats true... and its crazy because if someone who didnt know anything about stp heard shangri la dee da they would probaly think all the songs are just about breakups and feeling sad hahah

I think this song is about things like drugs and masturbation and how meaningless they are... As in "dumb love", they don't really love you, they're just tools to make you feel better.
"Keep you coming back for more", as in addiction.
"Alcohol, it's a lie", meaning that alcohol won't really make you feel better, it'll just get you drunk but then you'll feel worse afterwards.
"Stimulate the needle in your eye"--the needle, or the heroin, is blinding him from what truly matters.
"Touched myself, nearly went blind"--you know what they say about touching yourself...
"Couldn't find a way to live through the pain"...so he did drugs and drank too much to make all the pain go away.
"Couldn't get out of bed, ten ton bricks lying on my head"--maybe a reference to a hangover and how the things he "loved" only made his life worse.
"Persecute the crucified, kill a man for losing his mind"--because he kept getting in trouble with the law for an addiction that he couldn't get rid of.
Brilliant, I completely agree.

def about heroin
i think scotts talking about addiction and how its a "dumb love" to be addicted .. lyrically it makes sense to think that
'stimulate a needle in your eye' - wonder if scotts ever tried that.....
