  • Dale from Lincoln, NeI always thought this song was based on addiction. The longing to belong and have meaning but ultimately unable to find a place in the world. For Scott he found solace in drugs, but ultimately he was half the man, he used to be.
  • Anonymous Commenter from Ohio U.s.I honestly thought this song was about Jeffrey Dahmer mainly because the news of Mr Dahmer was a big story at the time The release of this song I just thought that they thought that his life was chaotic and it would be a good song story to produce. But music is definitely a subjective type of industry so I guess in some way you could look at the song as a Jeffrey Dahmer story.
  • Audiofreq from San Luis Valley ColoradoHard to have missed these bands but some of us were 35 and running sound for rock bands back then. My go to was Dream Theater all along since about 1989
  • AnonymousFor some reason. Thought this was about Frankenstein’s monster
  • AnonymousClay from Henagar, both nirvana and stp are awesome bands, and kurt's lyrics are deeper than the sea
  • Link from West VirginiaUsed in the Crow movie too.
  • Desiree from Kentuckyseen and old SNL show from way back in 1993 ..Stp.guest..we all were so young..RIP
  • Caleb from Kansas City KansasI always thought the song was about a man who was betrayed by someone he loved (probably girlfriend or wife) and his/their friends who tries to cope with it.
  • Chad from Austin, TxThis is a great song and it's about a shoplifter under house arrest. He's trying to stop and looking for help anywhere he can. His old lady thinks he's a creep. Robert is the one with the gun.
  • Clay from Henagar, AlGreat song by stp but it pisses me off because everybody things this song is by nirvana. Curt Kobain never wrote anything this pretty or with such meaning.
  • Kenne from Phoenix, AzThis song was actually released in 1992, but wasn't released as a single until 1993.
  • Epiphany from Rp, IlThis is a great song that will always be a great part of grunge,or "Generation X". I love STP. :)
