Regeneration Lyrics
Regenerate the impoverished souls
That echo you
Bleed to feed the masses
Soup line two times two
They got your picture from the
Sunday Plain Dealer that listed you
(Dead)
Forget the story. There's a bounty on
Your head. They fingered you
Right away. Right away
Green light. Get a move on
Right of way, right of way
Stop sign, put the brakes on
Positive cell regeneration
Positive cell regeneration
Celebrate the immortal youth
That wasted you
Peel the skin back from all the lies
That blistered you
They hold for ransom
All the watered down truths
That splintered your
(Faith)
So sell your soul, because you're already
(Dead)
They've listed you
To the fields where lesser mice go
To the fields where men follow
To the fields where lesser mice go
To the fields where we all follow
wow what a great analogy,i can see the similarities now between the two "sell your soul cause your already dead theyve listed you" and "dont plan the funeral before the body dies " each song is unique in its own about the same issue the media had layne dead or dying before he actually did and they have nearly done the same to scott.
I think it follows in the footsteps of "Grind" by Alice in Chains in that how the media will always claim that a rockstar well known for drug abuse(such as Scott)is dead,when it is far from it,just so they can get noticed.
Really great song, although I'm not sure what it's about...
i think this song is about all the rumors scott dealt with on his road to being sober
"Peel the skin back from all the lies That blistered you"
i heard this song was about layne staley
who told you that?
who told you that?
DUMBASS... shangri la dee da came out a year before layne died
DUMBASS... shangri la dee da came out a year before layne died
Such a shame that this brilliant musician would always be portrayed like "a druggie that will soon find his way to the coffin" since 1996 or so and even more during the 1998 jail thing. And was scapegoated since then. Not sure he payed that much attention to what the media said of him, or even cared at all. Being that this is the second or third song he's talking about this, it seems to be more of an inner struggle. Being jailed for not exactly commiting any "crime", just because bullshit laws. All the while, the guy who raped him at 12 years old had all the freedom in the world with his very real crime never being punished.
@FeelingShred Completementing it... I think what bothered Scott the most is how most people in this world will pose as "incorruptible saints" and pointing the finger at him for using cocaine (when most of these people put even more trash inside their bodies in a saily basis, for example crappy diets, alcohol, etc) But these same people (authorities, judges, people in power) won't care about a 12-year old boy being raped and traumatized for his entire life. He must have realized that way back, noticing that the school authorities didn't really gave a shit about the kids, they only cared about...

And if you're still have any remains of humanity inside of you and it's not a cold-blooded cochroach you should give a damn too... Seven billion people in this world, but not many HUMANS around...
Scott said there was a celebrity death pool prediction that he would die soon. This was after his 2nd arrest/relapse, iirc. He also had a very bad OD in the late 1990s. (Dr Drew said ‘we almost lost him’.)
i've been trying to figure it out myself... i think the last few lines have something to do with the novel "of mice and men" or the poem it was named after, but i'm not sure if it does or what it means.
I love the dark and sinister lyrics and overall music. It gives me the chills. And I also thought that the last lyrics were about "Of Mice and Men" a great book by the way.
