"'Dead & Bloated'" is a song by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots that appears on their debut studio album 'Core'. The song was never released as a commercial single (only as a radio promo) but got and still gets a lot of radio airplay and is a fan favorite song that is frequently played live.
Origin
Guitarist Dean DeLeo stated: "I was working at a guitar shop [LAB Sound] on the corner of Sunset and Gardner, and Scott was actually working catty-cornered across the street, driving models to their photo shoots. When either one of us had a musical idea, we'd call each other. He would usually have more time to run over and work it out. It was perfect because, since I was in a guitar shop, I could pick up a guitar right there. Scott didn't really play an instrument. When he had an idea, he would hum it to me. And 'Dead and Bloated,' was one of those things; he hummed that verse riff to me."
Song meaning
Vocalist Scott Weiland stated that "it's not really about anything. It's just stream-of-consciousness words. I mean, at the age of 21, 22, I didn't have a whole lot of life experiences. So it's more about the vibe, the angst and that kind of a thing, as opposed to actual life experiences."
