I love the lyrics to Still Remains.
 Pick a song and sing a yellow necterine
 take a bath i'll drink the water that you leave
 if you should die before me ask of you can bring a friend
 pick a flower hold your breath and drift away.
My favorite part of the song is " Skin is smoothe, i steal a glance. Dragon flies er gliding over......"
Honarable mentions are Wonderful and Sex Type Thing
I know you want what\'s on my mind, I know you like what\'s on my mind, I know it eats you up inside

I really like the lyrics for 'Hello it's Late' -
"Nothing matters again, I didn't think we'd last that long. I'm just sitting on this merry go round and the music is too loud". Beautiful song.

Atlanta and Still Remains get me deep..
but most of their songs speak a different point..

Adhesive.
Hello It's Late.
And I really like the nonsense of Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart. It's like seeing an abstract painting.

Black Again and Wonderful have always been profoundly impactful on me.

However, one of my favorite Weiland songs, lyrically speaking, is You Got No Right from Contraband. I just love the phrases he comes up with;"Funny right here I find myself inside a papercup" and "It's been a year and a night" have got to be some of my favorite lyrics ever, and for some reason I can't put my finger on, "You really don't believe me" has always given me a chill (especially when he sings it live).
Grab the hate and drown it out...

Well, this is all about Scott really so I'll go with:

Big Empty
Sour Girl
Desperation #5
American Man
Naked Sunday
And So I Know
Big Black Monster
Gravedancer
Transmissions...

... no particular order, all very high quality (either lyrically/rhythmically or both) imo.

 I dont think we can choose on what song has the best lyrics,but we can always choose on which are the most meaningful to us.

I think their most quotable song is Still Remains. My favorite lyrically is Adhesive.
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

I have never been a huge fan of Adhesive..something about it just sounds like he is listing things..
Wonderful is GREAT lyrically...can I throw in Meatplow for consideration
"Fine place for a day full of breakdowns"

And Scotty solo Killing me sweetly
"Viscous games, will lead to bitter pain"

"Atlanta" and "Kitchenware & Candybars"

"Where's the man?" it's sublime...
"We grew with the speed of light but crashed in the night"

Adhesive, and i think is the lyric more important and real for scott.
Anybody say Barbarella? My second
Look I just want to go out sometime you know.  Like normal people, spend time together and enjoy each other's company. Like best friends.  Like lovers that care.  Who actually respect the relationship you know?"
