Desperation #5 Lyrics
Desperation #5
She takes a swim then takes a dive
She takes a swing and she can hit
Muddy water
Dirty ditch
Take a swim and walk with me
make a steal, the Christmas Tree
Hold the water, hold my hand
Takes its time and time again
Oh, there is no reason
time to go, oh there is
no reason, play the show
oh there is no reason
Desperation #5
She takes a swim then
takes a dive
She tries to hold her, hold
her hand, the down the muddy
hand again...
She takes a swim then takes a dive
She takes a swing and she can hit
Dirty ditch
make a steal, the Christmas Tree
Hold the water, hold my hand
Takes its time and time again
time to go, oh there is
no reason, play the show
oh there is no reason
She takes a swim then
takes a dive
She tries to hold her, hold
her hand, the down the muddy
hand again...

I don't know... I think it's basically about it's basically about getting out of drug use, like the come with me and take a dive such... muddy water dirty ditch... the things to come... I don't know...
it IS about drug use...I read an interview with Scott from shortly after this album came out and he said that he wrote and demoed this song within hours of leaving detox. he was all strung out on methadone, slurring his words, barely able to sing and play and that's how he wrote the song.
It sounds absolutely nothing like STP.
wow thanks for that einstein. if you think thats a bad thing then you're a moron. solo albums are made so they can explore other musical avenues.

Just noticed your reply, and although I made that comment over 4 years ago when I was 16, way to be a douchebag. All I said is that it sounds nothing like STP, I didn't say it was a bad thing, nor did I trash solo albums or Scott in general. I can guarantee I am one of the biggest STP/Weiland fans on the planet, and know very well that 12 Bar Blues is exactly what you said, an album made to explore other musical avenues. Oh and yeah, most of the songs on the record sound nothing like STP

Your guess is as good as mine, but I think it has to do with his then wife, and he is asking her to "carry his watter" and accept his baggage.
She took "a dive" into his life, and it was "dirty water, [a] muddy ditch."
Good song.
