This song is about the damaging effects of abuse on Scott Weiland. Given his well publicized bouts of heroin and cocaine addiction, it seems odd that this song seems on the surface to only be talking about booze.
Then again, addicts are very good at hiding their behavior, and drinking with his band...
[Verse 1]
Holy-water
Clouds my thinking
Sinking low now
Keep on drinking
[Chorus]
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
[Verse 2]
You control me
Soul you stole, mine
Wishful thinking
Six feet under
[Chorus]
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
[Bridge]
So feel what were my eyes
Sink into the holes in my eyes
My sins have made me blind
Sink into the holes in my eyes
[Verse 3]
Dead by dreaming
Sleep you steal, mine
Pools of cold sweat
Hatred burns me
[Chorus]
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
[Outro]
Still shackled to the shadow
Still shackled to the shadow
That followed
Still shackled to the shadow
Still shackled to the shadow
That followed
Still shackled to the shadow
Still shackled to the shadow
That followed you
That followed you
