Stone Temple Pilots - Take A Load Off Lyrics






Summer med fly ruled the airways
Mostly superstitious
Now the kings of media
Invent the swine flu visions

Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off

Yeah, it's alright
As we mosey on into the night
Yeah, just set us free
Could our shattered past just set us free?

Give you all those diamonds
Give you more and more
Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record store

Fleets of underground an artist
Look for benediction
Drive around waste gas and haul
In every green addition

Summer med fly ruled the airways
Mostly superstitious
Now the kings of media
Invent the swine flu visions

Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off

Yeah, it's alright
As we mosey on into the night
Yeah, just set us free
Could our shattered past just set us free?

Give you all those diamonds
Give you more and more
Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record store

Give you all those diamonds
Give you more and more
Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record

Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record

Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record store

    STP is America's Led Zeppelin

  10. S.... P....

    This was Stone Temple Pilots last GREAT song. Loved these guys. Still love Rob, Dean, & Eric...but it isn't close to the same. It isn't their fault. Life is difficult.

  11. A.... G....

    Vocalista incomparável, suas musicas são alucinantes.

  12. D.... W....

    STP my favorite band of all Time, Scott, RIP! And fuck that new fill in! Get your own act bro! Smdh

  13. K.... D....

    Scott Weiland R.I.P! Rock on in heaven!!!! The greatest front man of all time!!!

  14. T.... ....

    This is the most definitive STP song off this album. They should start playing it live already!!!

  15. M.... L....

    Makes me miss a girl

  16. P.... H....

    Love this song

  17. M.... G....

    Love this song, love STP, but this video made me dizzy. During the chorus give our eyes a break and just show one scene maybe of Scott singing. I also want to just say F*ck YouTube for its greed and manipulative skankery. Happy Thursday!

  18. K.... Z....

    R.I.P Scott xxxxxx

  19. A.... M....

    great song

  20. �.... �....

    Vaugh Gittin Jr. brought me here.

  21. S.... F....

    I really like and love this song

  22. T.... ....

    NFS Shift 2 Unleashed

  23. P.... C....

    the chorus of this song is like my ears are being made sweet love to

  24. d.... ....

    Scott gave the record companies diamonds after diamonds and the kingpins
    in the media keep brainwashing the gullible & naive to what's good and bad.

  25. E.... T....

    Never another Scott ... Magical

  26. G.... B....

    RIP Chester.

  27. K.... Z....

    just listened to this and I love it. never been disappointed with STP. R.I.P legend that is Mr Scott Richard Weiland. rock will never be the same.

  28. M.... ....

    I came here because of NFSS2U. Anyone else?

  29. C.... ....

    Seven years, 380 k views..


    ...ok.

  30. G.... H....

    this whole album is amazing!! probably my favorite STP record. this and Purple are both "all killer, no filler!"

  31. E.... ....

    What is 0:24 from

  32. j.... j....

    It still breaks my heart the other members couldnt have let the man pass with more dignity , Scott W always gave 110 % of himself vocally + lyrically on all their albums especially this one and lets not forget his live undefeatable performances .I really dont get the pettiness of keeping the band name , not like any of the 3 are in any financial strain , yes they can play phenominal melodies and wicked rock music but truly it doesnt hold anything without the frontman . Find a guy + a new band name + stop badmouthing a deceased person who put you where you are today and certainly gave you many fond memories not to mention a comfortable life .I had no beef with their interviews when they were broke up but after he passed ? NO CLASS I could be wrong just my opinion :)

    j.... j....

    I'm kind of burning how they fired Scott when they could've created another band while
    he was going through what ever it was but it must've been the record execs' behind it?

  33. V.... B....

    RIP Scott

  34. R.... L....

    Last great music band, the rest of the disc is commercial and does not have the face of stp.

  35. L.... Z....

    This song and this band are vastly underrated. Thanks for the great music Scott, RIP. Stone Temple Pilots will never be forgotten

  36. J.... P....

    damn that chorus is fucking awesome

  37. M.... S....

    Such an awesome and underrated song. RIP Scott, a true genius that will never be forgotten!

  38. F.... ....

    The last great STP single

  39. R.... C....

    I really like this song as well as the rest of this record. I've been a fan of STP ever since they came out. Many believe that their music wasn't as good after Purple, which I strongly disagree with. Their music definitely changed after Purple and is what I thought made them as diverse of a band as they became. Many stopped listening after Tiny Music and several more did after #4. Personally, I thought that Shangra La Dee Da was one of the better records that they made. Regardless, Scott Weiland will go down as one of the greatest singers and lyricists of all time. He undoubtedly had his demons that he dealt with for a long time and hopefully he's finally at rest.

  40. m.... ....

    Come on in, take a load off.

  41. A.... P....

    The definition of swing rock was undoubtedly STP's trademark : If there was one attribute to credit to their musical innovation, this would be their enormous ease at creating that unrestrained swing feeling inside their hugely vast rock templates. A charisma, which went hand in hand with Weiland's glorious, almost off base, body language on stage. Here, in one of their most characteristic 3 min songs, that striking quality generates tons of dynamics and amplifies itself by numbers.

    A.... P....

    awesome perception and veiw... nice! your one of the few that just get it... and still see it today!

    A.... P....

    thanks.. I always thought that the swing element was prevalent in their music, especially after purple..

  42. m.... ....

    christ who was in charge of making this video. it's not a live performance video, it's not a story video, it's nothing. its just a mish mash of. a good music video is a lost art

    m.... ....

    I believe it's totally awesome and it is by Atlantic Records ... So my guess is you're one of the 52 negatives?

  43. S.... o....

    He makes my hatred of drugs even stronger. So sad. Such a beautiful voice.

    S.... o....

    Without the drugs you have no Scott Weiland for STP ... That was unfortunately the trade off for the creativity.

    S.... o....

    @dustynbones not necessarily. God knows what Scott could've accomplished if he'd been clean and sober.

  44. M.... F....

    his voice always made want to cry, now even more than ever

  45. t.... ....

    Rock radio and the press largely ignored this STP album. Bunch of fucking idiots. This album was killer start to finish.

    t.... ....

    +tommybass40 Media everywhere will forever be bigoted bunch of bastards.

  46. A.... T....

    sounds a lot like californication

  47. M.... a....

    this whole album was great he was the man.rip Scotty

  48. a.... ....

    We'll miss your voice...

  49. A.... ....

    Never knew there was a video for this awesome song! Rock on in Heaven Scott, RIP :)

  50. L.... S....

    One of my favorite STP songs... RIP mate, because the war is over

  51. S.... V....

    Scott Welland was the greatest live performer I've ever seen. The guy literally does not stop moving.

    S.... V....

    I absolutely 2nd this. I saw him ten times. I have never seen another performer match what he brought to a show.

  52. S.... V....

    one of the last true rockstars

  53. B.... C....

    RIP my friend. u will be missed by many.

  54. S.... ....

    It's crazy that we'll never hear his voice again. :/

    S.... ....

    His voice lives on forever with his music

    S.... ....

    Yeah it's true I want ever get to hear his voice , he's the only band I went to ticket Master to get tickets with a gang over from hell but it was worth it even though I didn't get to see him

  55. v.... ....

    This is how it's suppose to be done... God bless you Scott, you were incredible. R.I.P.

  56. A.... K....

    I'm gonna relapse in memory of Scott.

    A.... K....

    funny , I quit black the day Scott died

    A.... K....

    +jeff caliendo i quit subs.. id been tapering for year for pain.

    A.... K....

    +jeff caliendo Great man. Keep strong.. Be all what Scott couldn't be... Alive...........

  57. S.... F....

    Gone too soon.

  58. A.... M....

    RIP Scott

  59. B.... G....

    Thanks EA :')

  60. G.... R....

    NFS Shift 2!

    G.... R....

    yeah!!!

  61. j.... e....

    this song is monstrously underrated.

    j.... e....

    +j emblem the whole album is

    j.... e....

    +j emblem , this band was monstrously underrated...

    j.... e....

    +j emblem Totally agree! My favorite STP song!

    j.... e....

    STP is totally underrated. A lot of people are missing out on this. man, I thought I was the only one

  62. J.... R....

    Chaos.. but in a good way :)

  63. A.... M....

    This song is probably what should be blowing away radio stations
    #STP   #Grunge  

  64. T.... ....

    The chorus gets me every time. Every album has at least one. Big Bang Baby and Sour Girl have similar energy and melodic choruses

  65. C.... ....

    Their self-titled album was pretty good. This, Peacoat, and Between the Lines were my favorites. Those three probably sounded the most like their earlier records most particularly this song with its tempo and guitar riffs.

    C.... ....

    +Davos Nix What about Hickory Dichotomy?

    C.... ....

    @Davos Nix I will agree that Maver is one of the better tracks.  Although it's not classic STP sounding like the three I mentioned.

    C.... ....

    @Super25Smasher Hickory Dichotomy is not bad but doesn't sound like typical STP like the others I mentioned.

    C.... ....

    @C-Wad1984 Right. I was just mentioning that it's one of my favorites on the album.

    C.... ....

    CPW1109 self titled album?

  66. N.... R....

    Say what you want about STP, they never made the same record twice...all of their abums are authentic and innovative and highly underrated. In my opinion they are the most overlooked act in the history of rock. If Scott had been clean all this time public opinion of this band would be very different, which, in truth is a great hypocrasy to label Scott because the music is praiseworthy even if the artist leaves something to be desired personally.
    Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Lennon, etc, all were clean right....? Please

    N.... R....

    It's amazing how many junkies have made such amazing music throughout the ages, dating way back to Mozart.

    N.... R....

    To me this band was the new zep.

    N.... R....

    @Kapt'n Stevil They had all the talent and ability in the world to have been the new Zeppelin. Scott's struggles held them back from this. They simply needed to release more music to compare with Zeppelin. - However, we have five tremendous albums to hold close to our hearts. Self titled and all the additional music these guys have made are just bonus. [Scott's 1st solo album is tremendous, as well].

    N.... R....

    The best live show ive ever seen Scott was very talented and sad he left us so soon

    N.... R....

    Cobain doesn't even belong in the same sentence. The man was a no-talent douchebag with "suicide genes". God knows why his shitty fuckin band was the most recognized act from the Seattle music scene.

  67. t.... ....

    A solid album and one of their best, truly. Great songs with that stp sound but a classic rock feel. what rock should be.

  68. S.... ....

    STP has been of consistently excellent quality throughout their career - tell me which album sucks, I haven't heard one yet (OK, I don't know about Chester)

    S.... ....

    They were great, even with Chester.

  69. A.... F....

    Great song off a great album. No wonder it tanked.

  70. g.... c....

    Ladies and Gentlemen .....SLENDER MAN at 00.41. ..rock on STP

  71. E.... K....

    I remember me hearing this song when the album came out...
    By the second 0:04 I just falled in love... it was pure STP energy!
    But nothing prepared me for bridge and the chorus most of all ... then my brains really exploded and I´m still trying to find the pieces everytime I hear it...

    This is a band that really sounds

  72. b.... ....

    scott is pure sex machine!

  73. T.... ....

    i love the 90's alternative style video. very appropriate. =)

  74. M.... L....

    such a great song!!! nice time changes

  75. J.... H....

    Hola mami

  76. N.... P....

    Well, I think that this song was the root of ''Out of time''.

  77. L.... ....

    OMFG MIND @___________________@
    PERFECT FUCKING SONG
    KILL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WEILAND wtf

  78. C.... R....

    i actually thought the ENTIRE album was awesome. i freakin loved it. one of their best since back in the day.

  79. R.... R....

    i want to see the older s.t.p. come back, with the multiple kind of music styles on his themes! :/ and bring back scott please!

  80. T.... ....

    With Chester and Duvall providing lead vocals. Fucked up or what ?

  81. T.... ....

    Pity Scott fell out with them again

  82. W.... i....

    When Rolling Stones meet grunge... <3

  83. W.... ....

    Their last great song. R.I.P.S.T.P.

  84. a.... b....

    Soundtrack of NFS Shift 2 Unleashed ;)

  85. D.... M....

  86. i.... ....

    Is this song about masturbation? "take a load off"!

  87. b.... ....

    I love this song!

  88. D.... C....

    An Alice In Chains/Stone Temple Pilots tour would be great

  89. s.... ....

    I really love the sound of this track...absolutely hooks me. Picks me up like an autum wind sailing a leaf.

  90. G.... ....

    oh great
    well my mom is a MILF

  91. M.... R....

    *poker face*

  92. L.... ....
