He is obviously talking about a man in a sado masochistic relationship with a dominant woman. |

Michael is speaking on his alienation from the rest of the world as a result of the accusations of child molestation. Whether or not he is guilty or innocent, people treat him differently from when he was put on a pedestal earlier in his career. |

Patobrien, I'm not trying to minimize what MJ has done (rather, has been accused of..) but no one is perfect. The message in this song is more important than the messenger. It makes me want to cry when I visualize what he is saying. Also, I think MJs anti-semtic comments were spoken out of frustration. Blaming an entire ethnic group for one's troubles in irrational, but who is above making generalization? Most of us have at some time in our lives. |

This song is consistent with the spiritual bent of most of Cornell's lyrics. To paraphrase the Bible, Jesus says "...to the extent that you have done things for the least of my brothers, you have done so for me..". I think Chris is speaking from the viewpoint of Jesus Christ (though not in a sacrilegious sort of way). He is admonishing those who attempt to horde wealth, just as Jesus did in his parable of the man who died before he could enjoy his riches. From a socio-political perspective, I think he is referring to the inbalance of wealth and power between the wetsern world (particularly G7 nations) and the lesser developed countries. Domestically, he could be referring to the disparity between nonminorities (..whites) and minorities (..blacks). |

This song is about a noncommital person in a relationship. The two are unevenly yoked. One is blindly optimistic and the other is a hopeless cynic. |

This song provides a nice break from the angst that typically flavors all of Cornell's work (which I am addicted to). He definitely seems to be referring to someone he loves. I think it could be a mate as mentioned earlier. It could also be his progeny. |
