Parachute
Scott Weiland & the Wildabouts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone said it was a sweet love sensation
I think I even knew some of them regulators
So I'll go my own way and I'll see you later, yeah
Walkin' the dog with my monkey's alligator
Catch you when you're fallin'
I'll see you through the eyes of love
Even when you're crawlin'
Even when you're fallin'
I'll be your parachute, hold you up
Taking me back to the old Appalachian
Mason jar, the moonshine stimulator
Have too much and you'll go blind
See you later
Getcha back on your feet
You're no resonator
Long, long weekend, ain't no spectator
Couple of days off, maybe too much fun, yeah
Walkin' the dog with my monkey's alligator
Catch you when you're fallin'
Even when you're not
I'll see you through the eyes of love
Even when you're crawlin'
Even when you're fallin'
I'll be your parachute, hold you up
Walkin' the dog with my monkey's alligator
Look for revelation
Hard time with meditation
Keep seeking with the spirit of love
Tired of competition
Everyone needs a benediction
Holding you on a pedestal, loving you
Take it back or take it on
No repentance, no regression
Don't stop, keep it goin' on
We're the only ones
Whoever else is out there, even if it's nothin' but love
The song "Parachute" by Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts is a reflective piece on love and support. The opening lines mention watching a new revolution and someone saying it was a sweet love sensation. Weiland then sings about knowing some of the regulators but choosing to go his own way. He talks about walking the dog with his monkey's alligator, which can be seen as a metaphor for navigating through life with unpredictable and unlikely companions.
The chorus focuses on the idea of being there for someone no matter what, catching them when they're falling and seeing them through the eyes of love. He mentions a Mason jar and moonshine, which can be interpreted as a nod to his Southern roots and a simpler time. The song then shifts to a message of seeking revelation and love and avoiding competition. Weiland sings about holding someone on a pedestal and loving them, without any need for repentance or regression. The final lines state that, regardless of who else is out there, love is the only thing that matters.
