Lyrics:
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated

I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated

Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run

You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'

I am trampled under sole of
another man's shoes
Guess I walked too softly

Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run

You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'

I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated

I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow

I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me, somebody gave me,
somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed

It's Weiland so who the fuck knows !! I like it.

[Little Texan]

WTF is a birthday deathbed?

Furthermore, why would you be smelling like a rose that somebody gave you on said birthday deathbed when you're dead and bloated? That is one strong scented rose!

[hambon4lif]

...this is Weiland you're talking about!

He is snorting up his nose
what somebody gave him
he's a burnt gay meth head

After you guys solve this mystery, maybe someone can figure out WTF the lyrics to "Plush" is all about....

Here is one man's opinion about the song:

It is a pro-life song. The author of this poem/lyrics jumps from perspectives, i.e., first person (himself), and the third person (a male baby). He jumps from post abortion to pre abortion time in the eyes of the baby.
The unborn baby perspective:
"I am smellin' like the rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed 'cause I'm dead & bloated." This is self explanatory when seen through the eyes of an aborted baby, i.e, "birthday deathbed"."Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural I feel I've come of age when she peeks I start to run" Before the abortion, the baby who is an individual that has "come of age", i.e., a zygote at conception, realizes that his "mother" has rationalized the abortion: "she says it's natural" and fears his own mother, i.e, " I start to run" "when she peeks" i.e., she contemplates her "choice". "I am trampled under sole of another man's shoes, guess I walked too softly" It is deduced that this is a male baby as he refers to "another man's". This statement illustrates how the pro- abortion movement deems the remains of the aborted baby as merely trash i.e., "trampled under sole of another man's shoes". The innocent, helpless, voiceless baby wonders what he could have done to save his life: "guess I walked too softly." The author's perspective: "You can't swallow what I'm thinkin', I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow." The author is sensitive to this issue, and understands that, generally, the consensus is that many do not share his convictions and realizes that this will adversely affect the world at large in the future.
