| Stone Temple Pilots – Still Remains Lyrics

It's not a love song or a song about someone dying, it's a romantic fantasy. It's pretty evident by the "I'd beg for you" parts. You don't have to beg for a girl that you're already with. By the rest of the lyrics, everything is completely perfect in this "relationship", as fantasies usually are. STP also has very pessimistic lyrics in every single on of their songs, this is one of them. |

This is a really fucking angry song. The "War Machine" is a metaphorical tank, as in armored vehicle with a cannon. He's unstoppable, and he's loading his war machine to destroy the "Green Machine", aka "the system". |

I agree, but I think it also ties in with people hurting you for trying to live life and alienating yourself from others because you're afraid of repeating past experiences.
"Take time with a wounded hand 'cause it likes to heal"
This part is pretty obvious to me. The "wounded hand" is preventing him from giving a handshake; getting to know and investing trust in someone, because he has been wronged and beaten down in the past. |

When I saw them play in April '14, Josh specifically said that his song was about too many people telling you what you can and can't do. Basically, it's about social standards and conformity to them; life is much more simple if you do not conform. |

This song is about someone knowing their problems and issuing a warning to someone in hope that they "don't follow" their path of depression. |

| Alice in Chains – No Excuses Lyrics

Although I'm probably much younger than you, I've been in the same situation at a job I really hated at point in my life where I was at a dead end and I felt very alone and disconnected from my friends and family. Your interpretation is awesome, and I totally agree that it is about hope for a better future. It brought up good memories when I would go back and forth with one of my co-workers about music, life, grief, and happiness. I would go to him with truths and feelings I wouldn't even dream of talking about with people I knew for far longer. There were a few days where we would talk about no matter how bad it may seem, we lived in the land of opportunity as free souls, and those were very uplifting moments.
It's pretty evident that this song is far too vague to be only about drugs. This song is about the difficult path to pulling yourself out of an emotional rut and the cycle of ups and downs that you encounter along the way.
"Everyday it's something hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself, no excuses, then I know"
There's no excuse to get depressed and isolate yourself over trivial things that can bring you down on a daily basis because we easily trick ourselves to deny that life is an incredibly beautiful thing. Pick up the pieces because it's not as bad as you think. |
