Transmissions From a Lonely Room Lyrics
Miles above your circumstance
There's water on your mind
I've wrestled with convictions
And I've settled with the tide
It's more or less uncertainty
But still you play the game
A pedicure won't change the score
But all of this will fade
So low, better get on
Everything's stopped (down)
So slow, better get on
Everything's slowed down
Take a bath with consecrated water
From the shrine
And wash away the mud of all the
Miles you left behind
Triplicates and wedding rings
Both lethal to obtain
So batten down the credit cards
The devil's in the den
There's water on your mind
I've wrestled with convictions
And I've settled with the tide
But still you play the game
A pedicure won't change the score
But all of this will fade
Everything's stopped (down)
So slow, better get on
Everything's slowed down
From the shrine
And wash away the mud of all the
Miles you left behind
Both lethal to obtain
So batten down the credit cards
The devil's in the den

I think it is about him sometimes feeling alone while dealing with his heroin addictions.
Amazing song, best on Shangri-La Dee Da in my opinion. Definitely seems to be Scott talking about facing his addiction and trying to put it in the past and move on. I would bet the "lonely room" he is referring to is being in jail...cuz he was locked up for awhile before this album came out.
sounds like scott could have been dealing with alienation with his bandmates and the time this was written
