Quote from: "Shangri"
Continuing with the translations I need a few...

"I think I spread myself a little too thin"
"Meatplow"
"just to beat a mouse"
"unglued"
"pruno" :P

Well I don't remain anyone else...for the moment =)


I remember I think Dean saying meatplow was a song about buttfucking, but probably joking.  And I know Pruno is an alcohol they make in jail, using fermented fruit and bread. What is "just to beat a mouse" from??

BAIT a mouse.

No one's beating anything (except probably Ian).  BAIT a mouse.  Which means to lure/capture.
How could they not notice it?! Because it's a little mint.  It's a Junior Mint!

Crackerman in a few words, drug dealer.

I thought that song was about an old song from Cash.

You might have to ask the band about that one, but they probably don't remember much about writing those songs.

"I think I spread myself a little too thin"- getting involved in too many things therefore not having enough to go around.

That's funny.  We should make a "misheard lyrics" thread, if there isn't one already.  Because yours is hysterical.  My sister misheard "When the dogs divide her" instead of "When the dogs do find her."  lamo.  So you're not alone. 

Between the two of you, there's some serious animal violence hiding in STP's lyrics.  :D

I heard the song was about killing a drug dealer and burying him, but I could be wrong.

STP Song meanings
« Reply #26 on: January 02, 2009, 01:25:11 AM »
Lately I have been really into STP's lyrics
For example, what did they write Plush about??

"And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her"


Whenever I think about Plush, I think about your wife/girlfreind coming home from a long trip, and your dogs rushing up and smelling her.  Everyone is happy and peaceful.  The reason why she left is unknown... maybe for work, or maybe just a vacation.  But whatever the reason is, you are glad she is back.

"And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?"


The weather determines if she will leave or not.  Heavy rain might delay traveling.

"When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow"


Once she's back, you know that she's going to leave again on a trip, but you will wait until tommarow to deal with it.

Anyway, is this even close to what the song really means?

What are some other STP songs that mean a lot to you?

scott bowie and morrison were mt inspirations for writing and i can tell what he means in alot of stuff like my gf's always asking me "what do u think that ones about" lol  alot of hiis lyircs are written on his relationship with janina theres alot of things that just come from sorrow and happiness and some are just straight up twisted!
