This is a reality that is further buttressed by it winning a Grammy in 1994. That said, the fact that this track is a verifiable hit cannot be denied. The label did this in an attempt to make likers purchase the entire, more expensive album. “Plush” does not appear to have earned Stone Temple Pilots any certificates. But it should be noted in that particular regard that Atlantic Records opted not to sell it, despite the track being a single, on its own in the United States. For instance, “Plush”, which officially went up for sale on 29 September 1992, was only the crew’s second single. However, having topped Billboard’s Mainstream Rock list and charted in approximately 11 countries overall, it became one of the band’s biggest hits. That is to say that they have experienced monumental mainstream success, especially during the band’s early goings.

Stone Temple Pilots is an act from San Diego that is very well known in music circles.

But it may have something to do with the addressee’s “smell”, which again serves as a major plot device. Meanwhile, the title of this song doesn’t appear in the lyrics, nor is it abundantly clear how such a word relates to the narrative. Instead, it appears he’s under the belief that he may be able to rectify the situation in the future. Or if anything, it is obvious he still has feelings for the addressee despite her hypothetically being involved with other guys. Or put otherwise, by many other people’s standards this romance may already be dead. But the singer seems unable to accept that reality. Of course most guys, if they truly suspect the woman they love of cheating, would likely proceed to terminate the relationship. But the fact that the vocalist is not doing so is why Scott Weiland has referred to this piece as being “a metaphor for a lost obsessive relationship”. Yes, this song is very metaphorical. But what it comprehensively reads like is that this romance has degenerated to the point where there’s more or less open cheating going on, particularly on behalf of the addressee. Moreover, it has been concluded that as for the references to “dogs”, Weiland is actually utilizing that term based on its well-known colloquial definition, i.e.

F/A(5th Fret) e-[-5- B-[-5- G-[-5- D-[-7- A-[-8- E-[-5- INTRO Verse 1: G D/F# F C Eb7/ G F/A(5TH FRET) G And I feel that time's a wasted go, So where ya going to tomorrow?

INRO Verse 2: G D/F# F C Eb7/ G F/A(5TH FRET) G And I feel, so much depends on the weather, So is it raining in your bedroom?

To the contrary, the addressee is actually, as it would appear, the vocalist’s significant other. And the concept of her being missing is actually a metaphor for, most simply put, their relationship being messed up.
