is about scotts addiction… just like a fly in some vasoline, hes caught and hes not going anywhere Scott Weiland has stated that the song was directly written about his addiction to heroin.įlies in the vasoline. We still want to fly, since we are flies, so we struggle to get out of the thick, only to submerge deeper. Life is the air, we are the flies, the vasoline is the thickness of lies and thoughts that trap us into one part of our life, unable to move forward and see ahead (considering vasoline’s opacity). The song is a referance to the saying “theres a fly in the ointment” whitch means like “we’ve got a difficult problem.” like in the song “flys in the ointment we are.” so it might mean we all have a common problem and the other lyrics might hint that. You keep getting stuck down in the same holes but yet you “search for things that you can’t see”. The “search for things you can’t see part” could mean that we get out of touch with meaningful things in life (spiritual/family/etc) as opposed to superficial things like getting drunk and cheap sex. STP was my favorite band when I was in 6th grade, I remember when they first came out, I love them…Īnywho this reminds me of those yellow plastic pouch things that you hang out in your back porch to catch and trap flies…He must be referring to superficial things that we feed into…superficiality then eats us alive. I think this about how we always manage to get stuck in the same situations even though we see them coming. he says how we are all stuck in between what’s real and whats not (flies in the vasoline we are). it reminds me of a commercial or something advertising a product and how it’s so great but they say all that bs just to sell the product and it’s not necessarily the truth. he’s tryin to figure out the difference between the truth and whats being advertised to us. Im not real sure what this song is about, but i think it has somethin to do with whats real and whats fake.
Song by Stone Temple Pilots called “vasoline”, the spelling did not change, it is spelled as it always was…let’s take a look at the lyrics.
