This is one of the best STP songs for sure. My personal opinion is it was written after a long and scary drug induced nightmare. If you have ever been in the thrawls of a deep drug trip these are the types of thoughts that creep into your mind and they make complete sense in the frame of mind you are in at the time. The Wicked Garden is exactly that, a dead and decaying garden of darkness and pure hell. People can see without eyes, living and/or living dead are and Weiland is passing through this garden of evil and making observations of what he sees, deciding that in fact he is not scared or frightened by the experience but instead energized and awakened. Thoughts like this can only come from the subconscious mind in which an alternate reality makes perfect sense.
