“Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart” has the longest title of any Stone Temple Pilots song and does not appear as a whole in the song, but “paper heart” appears in the first line of the song and “trippin'” is sung in the last line of the first verse and “trip” is also sung a little further into the song “one more trip and I'll be gone.”
The music was written by drummer, Eric Kretz, and lead singer, Scott Weiland, wrote the lyrics. As in Stone Temple Pilot fashion the lyrics are ambiguous and mysterious. Weiland said in a radio interview that it alluded to a bad acid trip, but later in his auto biography
Not Dead and Not For Sale
he said it was about his “hunger for redemption.”
