Guilty
Unveiling Shadows: Stone Temple Pilots' Guilty Confessions
Lyrics
Spread the news, don't you feel much better
Encouraging the spread of news for emotional improvement
The cenacles are afraid to die
Fearful gatherings or groups reluctant to face death
What's the truth but an open letter
Suggesting truth is like an open letter, transparent and accessible
By the clowns soaked in pesticide
Describing individuals (clowns) affected by harmful influences
Realize
Call to awareness or understanding
You're gonna pay the price
Conveying the inevitability of facing consequences
You're gonna pay tonight
Emphasizing the impending cost to be paid
Some don't but to have is better
Expressing the idea that having something is preferable
I got lost there along the way
Admitting to losing one's way or losing direction
I don't care for the change in weather
Indifference towards changes in circumstances
I let go to come back again
Letting go with the intention of returning
Realize
Reiteration of the call to realization or understanding
I'm guilty in my ways
Admitting guilt in personal actions or behavior
Heard the news and it ain't much better
Receiving bad news with little improvement
The innocent try to stay alive
Innocent people striving to survive in difficult circumstances
Every time there's a real go getter
Mention of ambitious individuals facing hardship
Falling down in the well that's dry
Falling into a difficult situation or experiencing a downturn
Realize
Reiteration of the need for awareness or understanding
You're gonna pay the price
Reaffirming the impending consequences to be faced
You're gonna pay tonight
Emphasizing the inevitability of payment tonight
Some don't but to have is better
Reiterating the value of having something
I got lost there along the way
Acknowledging getting lost on the journey of life
I don't care for the change in weather
Indifference to changes in the environment or circumstances
I let go to come back again
Letting go with the intention of returning, repeated theme
Realize
Reaffirming the call to realization or understanding
I'm guilty in my ways
Reiterating personal guilt and responsibility
Some don't but to have is better
Emphasizing the value of possession
I got lost there along the way
Revisiting the experience of getting lost on life's journey
I don't care for the change in weather
Maintaining indifference towards changes in weather or life
I let go to come back again
Letting go with the intention of returning, repeated theme
Realize
Reiteration of the call to realization or understanding
I'm guilty in my ways
Affirming personal guilt and the need for self-awareness
Realize
Final reiteration of the call to realization or understanding
I'm guilty in my ways
Final acknowledgment of personal guilt and responsibility
