Well, that's what I get out of it anyway. I'm a'rollin'" - I don't know about this.highway imagery ? Is he hitchiking to get out of the city to start over ? Did he steal a 16 wheeler ? Or get HIT by one so hard he flew through the air and then just rolled, and rolled, and rolled. While I'm thinkin'" - Still trying to puzzle out his situation with a deck of only 48 cards or so. He sees a boy, and then a man, and then a woman walk by, and in his altered state they seem to transform from one to the other. Or this could be one of those times when 'a cigar is just a cigar', and he is simply hallucinating as he prowls the streets looking for a fix. But at the same time he/it's a woman as well, seductive and sweet. But this 'boy' turns out to be a 'Man', decidedly more dangerous than a mere boy. A boy named Sue would probably have been viewed as weak and girlish, and not really a threat (hey.we're talking schoolyard/playground logic here.), much as many people view drugs as fun and recreational aids, ignoring the danger inherint in their use. If you REALLY want to read into it, he's remembering his descent into drug use. He's a woman too" - This could be virtually anything. "I don't care, yeah and I don't care" - No one does when they are sufficiently anesthetised. Even HE realizes it, and sees that thinking about his situation only drives him further into dispair and only increases his problems. "And I think I think too much" - As you can see in the partially nonsensical and repetative nature of the lyrics, the singer is going around in circles mentally. Just wanted to "get away", and now it's the drugs he wants to get away from. Or perhaps he was "roaming" through life, lost confused, whatever and that's how he got started with heroine. Get away gotta get away" - Likely a simulcra of drug induced ramblings, but I could kind see it representing a permanently lost or spaced out feeling from execive drug use.
"I wanna use" - Dual meaning, he at once wants to use more heroine, and as a result he wants to use the gun (on himself or his dealer) I rather think it's more along the lines of a. "Gun in hand, gun in hand" - I guess it could be a masturbatory reference, but kinda doubt it.
"Rubber band, rubber band" - Probably a reference to the turniquit used in preparation of shooting up, a reference to his addiction. "Got the mud beneath my shoes " - (see above) "Kickin' as I'm tryin' to sleep" - yeah, insomnia, withdrawls, possibly low grade stuff leading to a bad trip. If I just wanted to off myself, I would probably stay inside. I don't really read into it that the singer is contemplating murder so much as suicide.īut I will give you that the line "Got the mud beneath my shoes" sounds like this guys is out and about on foot, possibly in inclimate weather (or at least less than ideal conditions).if I was dead set on killing someone.a little rain would be a very minor concern (especially if I was high and/or crashing.). I can't really dispute it but I don't *entirely* agree with it. He is/was an artist, and not all art pops out of a vacuum. General CommentWell, if this came from the mind of Scott Weiland before he himself got entangled with heroine, I think he might just be trying to articulate the heroine addiction based on what he saw in someone he knew.
