I'm not American. I admire some americans (including all races). However, I hate politicians and their followers, and jesusfreaks and retarded extremists of any religion. I love the music, understand Jon's lyrics, but I disagree with its content. About the lyrics, maybe he portraited himself as a relative or someone very close to sep11th victims, like son, father, brother, like he was seen the news or in the funerals we always think "why...?", asking God for answer. It describes perfectly someone in that position of shock, hatred, and revenge. Someone who got carry away and let us a halo of don't tread-on-me attitude. Anyway, as Jon said 'humans are born to make mistakes'. RIP sept11 victims |

Perhaps it can be related to cocaine/alcohol addiction sweating bullets may refer metaphorically to wake up with a hangover from hell and smelling alcohol yet like waking up drunk and sweating as a pig a big and painfully burden on you armpit |

I'm Chilean They are right, it's 'bout Jara art and contribuition to chilean folk music "Thousands of people got executed there, so in September 1973, Victor Jara, was also brought to that stadium. When he arrived, he started to play on a guitar and was singing. The watchmen wanted to stop him doing that, but they couldn't so they hacked his hands... Not even that could stop him, he continued singing and screaming until hundreds of bullets killed him. " Victor Jara 's execution remain me the atrocities of the Pan's Labyrinth's militar dictator RIP |

I'm Aza I lost my password duhh XD so I created this new account Cris ---------------------------------- Qué canción, ésta es mi humilde traducción al español. Pese a que en ella no rescató el valor rítmico y sonoro, intento hacerlo mejor posible para ser fiel en lo que quiere expresar el autor. No obstante, casi nunca se puede expresar todo lo que siento con palabras, la inspiración a veces proviene de lo incomprensible; por tanto, inexplicable. Soy de la idea que si una canción te toca en alma, debes traducirla, para no sólo entenderla, sino que amarla por siempre. Es triste, pero verdadera. Muchos artistas del ámbito que sean (músicos, poetas, pintores, etc.) subvalorados. No entiendo eso de esperar a que se muera uno de ellos para darse cuenta lo que valen. Si contásemos cuantos de ellos y ellas han sido recordados después de muertos habría más personas de la que sobreviven por intentos de asesinato. Aunque creo que un artista necesita a veces un poco de inspiración en la soledad y el olvido. Es como si nos sintiésemos desolados y arrojados en un mundo opacado por la vanidad y insoportable tristeza de vivir anclados en la inconsecuencia perpetua, de morir atados sin pena ni gloria. ---------------------------------------------------- Agreeing with what YtseJam said I translate myself: What a song. I translated into Spanish. It’s quite difficult to achieve its rhythm and metrics. I did my best to express what the author says. However, I consider impossible the idea of translating in words everything you feel. Usually, inspiration comes from the unknown, so untranslated. In my viewpoint if a song touches my soul, I must translate it immediately in order to hold my love forever of it instead of being able to read it in my native language. It’ sad but it tells a never-ending truth: many artists like painters, musicians, poets are/were and will be underrated (Mozart, Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, etc.). I cannot stand the idea of talented people being famous or appreciated after they die. They are an unknown population as the number of people who have survive of an attemp of murder. Notwithstanding, I think every artist needs to be isolated and feel solitude for achieving inspiration, a moment of truth. The song portrait how humans are devastated and throw by God to a dark world filled with emptiness, vanity, we prisoners in an unbearable life and how we die with no glory and recognition. Everyone seeks recognition not fame. PS. Correct my english, if possible. =) |

This is what is said (ex-Aza, now Cris): It’s a great song, but underrated. To have a broad and specific perspective of it, I take the lyrics and the video as a whole. The lyrics and video-symbols reveal a pessimistic idea. According to Cornell’s viewpoint, people are full of resentment due to day-to-day broadcasted messages of a fake reality. Everybody has strength to trade away this materialistic society, however. Not only does he complaint of widely wrong concepts for achieving happiness and peace of mind (suicide, drug/alcohol abuse, sex merely for reproduction or satisfying a self-centered desire, bad biotechnology policies, racism, violence), but he also points out how they ironically lead us to inner chaos, self-hatred, or how we isolate ourselves and lose our essence as individuals. “Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight And nothing seems to break me No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know” These lines reminded me Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”, specifically the irony when the characters attempted to kill themselves and doesn’t work out. It can be compared when you want something badly: you wait eternally and it never shows up (like taking bus or taxi, waiting a business/friend’s phone call), but it does in the most unexpected or (un)pleasant moment (in the bathroom, or in a crowed cinema/seminar/weeding, and you forget to turn off the cell phone because you were thinking in something else you want). Cornell declared that his lyrics should not be interpreted as a universal truth message, or that his art is trying to change world. Indeed, in a TV interview he said “I meant what I felt (nor what I thought) in that day of lyrics composing process.” Many fans and journalists had criticized his so-called contradictory viewpoint. Cornell’s expectation of the world is hopeless to some extent. Perhaps he thinks the world will not change, humans will. I am justifying myself by taking this song as an outstanding and desperate manifesto. He probably didn’t refer to his own state of mind but he self-portrayed in someone else’s mind. Someone who has no will no to change, not even his/her own world, because he/she closed all doors for being hurt no more. He might relate the expanding universe hypothesis (in physics) to how we ironically shrink more and more. He also stands out people freedom of choice (protest scenes). I point out he doesn’t attack to the American dream but to those who have manipulated it as machine of corruption, deceiving, snobbism, and racism. Perhaps his idealism related to this AD symbolism is in favor of achieving goals individually for the sake of humankind, and not for deceiving mainstream interests. Today’s problems are reflected in what and who we are. Imposing beliefs/behavior and what-life-is-at-all-about thoughts create us confusion and misery. The more we know of the outside world the less we know of ourselves. Knowledge, for Cornell, is a double-edged sword: it can be used for helping people (of low self-esteem, self-destructive thoughts, or telling you are wrong, move on, change), or regrettably for those who think they have the right to control people’s minds and hurt them by calling ignorant or inferior. Finally, I truly believe he wants that people must assert themselves by appreciating life and having mutually/self-respect. But I agree with his intrinsic viewpoint of not saying (as one universal truth) how we can achieve this, because humans are fragile and similar/different. PS. Correct my grammar/composition mistakes, if possible. =) |

Dear Ophelia, I'm Aza I lost my password So this my new account Yeah, ur' right I was a jerk, so... sorry for that kind of imposing-me behaviour. However, my purpose was not to sound sarcastic with those who translated my words literally, alas, to show an interpretation in my language for those who are native spanish-speakers (Spain or SouthA) and have problems with Cornell's lyrics which, indeed I found sometimes very difficult to understand his grammar and syntax. --------------------------------------------- Call me "spanish-speaking dickhead" sounds pretty racist, I dunno, I hope you aren't, who cares anyway -------------------------------------------------------- "It is no accident that this site was developed in the ENGLISH language" Well I found like 10,000 spanish-speaking bands/lyrics in this site, similarly thousands of viewer of this site are from spanish-speaking countries. Most of them are studing english as second language (ESL). I think they may never dare to say something in english till they can learn composition [in my case I'm still learning], but they like those english-lyrics bands and want to know some viewpoints to understand their lyrics, so if someone wants to write something in his/her language who cares, but always replying politely if someone wants to know his/her interpretation and cannot understand his/her language: not being arrogant as I was. =) bye take care |
