I know I'm probably a sick bastard but I've always thought this song is about a guy who raped and killed some girl. The interpretation I give is in the order of the song and this way it seems all out of whack, but it also seems to go along with the killers mind after the incident...
"It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me
pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me "
It's like he feels remourse after it's all over... the memories keep pricking him and it is slowly eating away at him.
"the lounge fly
the lounge fly
the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they
won't release me "
sounds like he may have been hiding close by to see what the police would find, but he gets scared that the police dogs will find him out.
"I can't give what I take away
and the other understands"
He seems to be talking about life. He can take her life, but he can't give it to her. And she knows he wants to kill her.
"she said she'd be my woman
she said she'd be my man"
It's like she was offering him anything (sexually) if he just wouldn't kill her.
"I can't live this way
please refill my soul"
Again with the remourse
"Don't have a nickel or a dollar but
you feed me"
As I've said, the guy is probably really depressed and full of remourse. One of the most common "side effects" of depression is loss of appetite. He can't seem to eat because of the thought of her.
"my bottle's empty but you always
refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't
let me drown me"
It sounds like he's trying to drown out the memories with booze, but no matter what she keeps coming back to his mind.
"I wanna fuck, wanna fuck
but do you need me?"
This line just seems to go back to the initial act of rape... it's like it keeps replaying in his mind as he's trying to drink it all away.
I may be wrong, but I believe Scott Weiland may have seen an article and just projected himself into the killers mind. Scott is a friggin genius.

Why do people say every STP song is about a guy raping and killing a girl?
