Son Lyrics

Coolness is staring at the sun
Coolness is driving with my son
Time and time again I'm not the man
Time and time again I'm not the one
Now go to sleep you little child of mine
I wish I had the beauty you hold inside
Now go to sleep you little boy of mine
You make the world a better place to find
Coolness is staring at the sun
Coolness is driving with my son
Time and time again I'm not the man
Time and time again I'm not the one
Now go to sleep you little child of mine
I wish I had the beauty you hold inside
Now go to sleep you little boy of mine
You make the world a better place to find
Ah...
Now go to sleep you little child of mine
I wish I had the beauty you hold inside
Now go to sleep you little boy of mine
You make the world a better place to find
Ah...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Contrary to popular belief, this song is not about Scott Weiland's son Noah, who was born two years after this song was written. This song was written by Scott and one of the other guys who worked on 12 Bar Blues with him (I can't remember who) about "that guy"'s son. I'm pretty sure Scott also related the lyrics to the abortion he and his wife went through around 1993/94.

Anybody has an idea from where comes the 'acoustic' version of this song? I've found it on sort of 'Stone Temple Pilots Unplugged' compilation. Seems to be a demo version cosidering the quality of sound, but can anybody confirm it?

@myse1f I believe it's from MTV 120 minutes with Matt Pinfield. Scott performed with Victor Indrizzo and Daniel Lanois. You can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=xiq3IORaXUs
