Carlos from Austin, TxIt is a pro-life song.Jamie from Granite Falls, NcYeah it is a very good song and Im not one of those people that think every song is about drugs but i think this song is about battleing heroin addiction.On wiki it says 'The song has a meaning about betrayal in a relationship.' Scott has clearly said many times that CORE and LIBERTAD are the only albums he's written SOBER. Chase from Nashville, TnTHIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT DRUGS OR HEROIN.Cyan from Rio Vista, CaNot as good as 'Interstate Love Song' or 'Coma,' but it's okay.Nothing to to with abortions or anything just a metaphorical love song. Trampled under sole of another man's shoes is saying she left him for someone else which is why he is 'dead and bloated' implying his heart is on his sleeve and he ran off into the woods with ideas of what their life could be like together. he is nervous about it= then you have you can't swallow what I'm thinking later in the song he says when I run through the world I think about tomorrow. Had sex in the bed first time he felt alive now he is young lying in the same bed feeling dead inside. I am smelling like the roses that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed. Norman from Tulsa OkThis song is about the first time he had sex with someone and fell in love.For me it is a song of love and lost love. I think interpretation is a beautiful thing, everyone can put there spin on it. He did say it was written from when he was 21-22 years 'With not a lot of life experience' and pre drug addiction. I like to believe it is about young love. So when she left him he felt Dead, and she left him so easily he felt dead and bloated- a metaphor for being left quickly and it sickens him. He took too long to commit- Guess I walked too softly. She moved on-I am trampled under the soles of another mans shoes. Also you can't swallow what I am thinking- There is an overwhelming feeling of am I ready for children, marriage or commitment or is this just lust? His feelings were strong for her and she moved on to someone else- so he smells like a rose- no guilt. Run through the world thinking about tomorrow, how most feel when taking the next step in a fragile new relationship. She says its natural- she must have not been a virgin (She has been there). The seriousness of the situation, of possibly children, or marriage. 'Birthday deathbed' He has feelings for this girl, and it scares him, when she peaks he wants to run. Until you lose your virginity, that innocence is dead. Your birthday you are born to innocence, a life of innocence. Sandy from Tulsa, OkIn my mind its meaning is clear.got the lyrics 'I smell like a rose on my birth day death bed' from a guy named Wade long before he sang it, said he was having a time finding solid words to right, could be wrong. Gordon from N.c.Not sure, but I think the singer of S.T.P.Yea I'm Sure You Would from Constent To Show Me Your Trainand give me your big, juicy, orange.
