@[charliemopps:2769] He's also said in an interview that most his lyrics are existential based. He sings a lot about the pain of just existing, and if you don't understand that, then you really haven't took much of a look inside. Just because you think they're gibberish don't mean they are...take for example "like a stone" or "i am the highway" in audioslave. Like a stone is about all of the people around him dying while he's still alive (he said so himself) and I am the highway is like every man's ambition for others to believe and see himself as God, the "I am" in man (well maybe not every man...just most). Black hole sun...is the wish to take away all of the bullshit, all of the subtle want and can't have, all of that which is life but for that which one doesn't have the courage to take his own life, wishing the world would just end, and wash away the pain. I personally think there's meaning in all his lyrics, but maybe not everyone can relate. Burden in my hand the way I take it is, He hurts everyone and only the people he loves the most, yet he's trying to convince that he's right in doing so...though he knows somewhere that he's wrong. Deep shit, not gibberish, but to each his own. |
