Cover art for Unglued lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

This song has absolutely nothing to do with sex and/or the act of masturbating. Just because the word masturbation and coming unglued are in the lyrics, it doesn't automatically mean that's what it's about. Considering Scott just passed, it should be abundantly clear that this is about his uncontrollable addiction.

I won't go line by line since it should be pretty clear, but some interpretation:

"Moderation Is masturbation What is what and what makes you feel good? All these things I think about I think about Always come unglued "

No such thing as moderation with his drug use. All or nothing and it's all in on its use. Anything in moderation doesn't make you feel good/satisfied, hence his all in nature with drug use. Thinking about all this makes him come unglued/unhinged.

"This confusion Is my illusion Nowhere to look but nowhere to find ya All these things I'm sick about I'm sick about Always come unglued"

Looking at himself in the mirror, the confusion is his internal debate on his drug use. He has no control thus the "confusion" is merely an "illusion."

The refrain is another easy interpretation:

"Yeah I got this thing its comin' over me I got this thing its comin' over me I got this feeling comin' over me Over me"

The thing/feeling is drug use/addiction.

Poor guy. RIP Scott Weiland.
