Cover art for Seven Caged Tigers lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

I don't think there's a lot of depth behind these lyrics, despite their ambiguity. The imagery's so disjointed, out there and obscure. It sounds more like one of the De Leos had put together the music and Scott just penned stuff he'd hallucinated recently and filled it in with other random ideas. That said, great song.
