Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill.
Falling faster in my car.
Time to take her home,
her dizzy head is conscious laden.
Time to take a ride it leaves today
no conversation
Time to take her home her dizzy head is
conscious laden
time to wait too long, to wait too long,
to wait too long.
Too much walking shoes worn thin
too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch her ride it leaves today,
her name is what it means
Too much walking shoe worn thin
Time to take her home,
her dizzy head is conscious laden.
Time to take a ride it leaves today
no conversation
Time to take her home her dizzy head is
conscious laden
time to wait too long, to wait too long,
to wait too long.
Conversations kill

Time to take her home,

Time to take a ride it leaves today

Time to take her home her dizzy head is
conscious laden
time to wait too long, to wait too long,
to wait too long.

Falling faster in my car.
Time to take her home,

Time to take a ride it leaves today

Time to take her home her dizzy head is
conscious laden
time to wait too long, to wait too long,
to wait too long.
Too much walking shoes worn thin
too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch her ride it leaves today,
her name is what it means
Too much walking shoe worn thin
Time to take her home,
her dizzy head is conscious laden.
Time to take a ride it leaves today

Time to take her home her dizzy head is
conscious laden
time to wait too long, to wait too long,

Always makes me think of an addict pondering the prospect of rehab.
Also, the date rape theory seems plausible. her dizzy head is conscious laden. . . give someone GHB and that's how they are. Kidnap someone and use chloroform on them, something like that.
And the person who said it's alot deeper than what Scott wants us to think. I can see that to. I know alot of singers who won't tell the audience what every song is about because they want them to come up with their own interpretations and if they tell us what ever song is about they think we won't. I do, but I like knowing their interpretation as well.
"Falling farther from just what we are" You, and especially your family and friends feel like you've become something else when you are high and when you are addicted even if you are sober.
"Smoke a cigarette and lie some more these conversations kill." The feeling you get while on heroin is a lie. And sometimes you even know that while you are on heroin. Part of you knows that and fights with you to stop because you see yourself self-destructing.
"Falling faster in my car". Coming down hard
"Time to take her home" He is taking his heroine home
"Time to wait too long" He is driving home to shoot up but he just bought the dope and he has a long ride. It's like hurry up and wait.
"Too much walking shoes worn thin. Too much trippin and my soul's worn thin." He feels like hes been doing this for far too long and he can't go on much longer. Tripping's double entendre is the drug kind of tripping. He is equating soul to sole as on a shoe from the above line. Every time a heroin addict comes down they feel like they lose a piece of their soul. Well, that's what they say anyway.
"Time to catch a ride it leaves today" The rush is gonna happen today. He is gonna fly
"Her name is what it means." Heroin/heroine. She = heroin. What she means = his heroine. ( pretty clever )
Hope this helps. Those who said it was about a girl are probably the same people who said Amanda Palmer's The Point of it All was literally about a doll. Double entrendres people. It seems they are lost on so many. *sigh*
This song is about a dude who tries to bring home some girl that he found stupid enough to want to come with him, and he feels that she may notice that he is a creep (and could potentially date rape her), and she may not want to go upstairs with him. The narrator is thinking that the more they talk, the less she may want to do it, thus "Drivin' faster in my car," and "These conversations kill," and the line "Her dizzy head is conscious laden," is showing the fact that she has a conflict in her mind of whether or not to go with him (and it may show that she is not the smartest girl of all time, maybe a bit trashy).
"Time to catch her ride it leaves today," shows that maybe by the next day she will not want to be anywhere near him, and she'd have made up her mind and left.
If you read the lyrics after reading this comment, you will see.
It seems that there are a lot of conflicts in what Scott said the song means, from being about the band being on a near break-up during the last part of the Core tour to just being about a back-seat fuck. I think Scott might say that a song is about something meaningless when in fact it means a lot more to him than that just that because either he doesn't like to relive the memories behind it or to adjust the meaning to fit him in his current life. I dunno.
But if I had to say what this song is about, I would say that it's a more "bigger picture" kind of song. I think it's about anyone reaching that point of realization in their lives; a point where they finally realize that they need to stop pretending or being purposefully ignorant about an issue or something, and the person is feeling defeated because they know they can't keep it up. It could be about a relationship they want to keep or something else. They still don't want to hear the truth (conversations kill), even though they know it's already over. The big empty the song references is that feeling of defeat, exhaustion, and reflection that comes with the realization.
We all can relate to the song, but Scott paints a scene that is familiar to him. A lot of artists do that; write about a certain event or scene personal to them, yet the song probably has a bigger meaning.
this was STP's first single from their second album but already the 6th song of theirs to get massive airplay.
Can any other band say theyve done that?
