Song of the Week #4, Stone Temple Pilots—Still Remains

This was one of the first songs that I designated to a relationship where I was stupid about a girl. It really spoke to 16-17 yr old me and what I thought you were supposed to feel like when you were with a girl.

Drinking her bathwater…definitely a bit extreme….(but if she was hot enough…you know that you’d do it too! ;-)

Not wanting to deal with losing her to death, and wanting to be able to go with if she died before you….probably pretty common.

The best part about this song…it was “our” song…for one particular girl….but she never could identify it. After we split up, I thought about it, and it really was more just about how I felt. So, I took it back.

I think it’s a pretty good little tune.

If you don’t like it….well, Dark Side….what have you got for them?

“Suck it, Hookers!”

Ghost out…

“Still Remains”

our bed we live, our bed we sleep
making love and I become you
flesh is warm with naked feet
stabbing thorns and you become me
oh, I’d beg for you. Oh, you know I’ll beg for you.

pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath, I’ll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away…

she holds my hand we share a laugh,
slipping orange blossom breezes
love is still and sweat remains
a cherished gift unselfish feeling…
oh, I’d beg for you. Oh, you know I’ll beg for you.

pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath, I’ll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away…

she tells me things, I listen well
drink the wine and save the water
skin is smooth, I steal a glance
dragon flies “er” gliding over…
oh, I’ll beg for you. Oh, you know I’ll beg for you.

pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath, I’ll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away…
