| gsmiller24, that's ultimately right minus the details: Apparently she is perfect, nothing is wrong with her, and so his failure to change, that is please her, makes him the one who is wrong, so he can now "see everything that is wrong" with him, but no matter what, he will never change because she is never pleased. That's also the whole premise of his other song 'What You Are' since he is never able to please the woman, except now he is free from what she wants. | |

| @[altamber8:27938], the lyrics do admit that he sees everything that is wrong with him, though it has nothing to do with his own personal peril. He may very well feel as though there is something wrong with him, but it's because she makes him feel that way to try and change him. Everyone's got faults, but it appears as though the girl is faultless and never to blame for anything, she's just mrs perfect and he's always at fault so he can't ever change and even so it won't ever please her. She is simply never satisfied, which leads to his song 'What You Are' by Audioslave describing a relationship with a woman who is never pleased by his sacrifices. | |

| @[altamber8:27937], lol none of that was said in the interview. The change could be anything from preferences, to hobbies and shit. You are not entitled to make a guy into your personal toy to do whatever you want. If she gets fed up by not being able to change the guy, then they are not compatible. | |

"Everyone keeps telling me that I'm too good for him." (She also says that her bf only cares about himself) ^ This girl seems to have an inflated sense of self worth. Society does often make heterosexual relationships about pleasing the girl, woman or whatever. Perhaps she feels as though she should be given everything with nothing in return. If her boyfriend doesn't please her or make sacrifices for her, like at the end she mentions bad habits, maybe he spends more of his money on drugs than on her for instance, that makes him selfish and a horrible person that doesn't deserve her, and this perception is caused by societal relationship standards. As a disclaimer, this could be a wild speculation, but if the said girl that is too good would clarify, we shall see, but Chris Cornell sung a great song about this as part of Audioslave called "What You Want" which might show his true perception of being in and out of a relationship with a woman who is never pleased. |

| @[isobel:27909], "change u for (their) good" perhaps, that is a positive for you, not necessarily them. | |

| @[wingsgluedon34:27908], correct me if I'm mistaken by your intent, but lemme guess ... He only cares about himself like you work more, you spend proportionately more money on him, and he doesn't allow you to do what you want in your free time unless it pleases him. Chris Cornell's song doesn't seem to relate to that though since in most cases it's the contrary in a relationship. | |

Metaphorically the song could mean anything, but if you take the song literally it can only mean one thing, that is ... It's someone expressing how he feels about what happened to the fallen angels in the Book of Enoch. Here it is explained: "Wake up Grab a brush and put a little (makeup) Grab a brush and put a little" • The fallen angels, then called the sons of god intermingled with the daughters of man and taught man how to apply makeup among other things, which brings us to ... "Hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup) Hide the scars to fade away the" • The (shakeup) is the fall of man, and the makeup is meant to hide the scars to fade away the (shakeup) fall of man, which brings us back to the lyrics "Wake up" in reference to when man's eyes were open and they were awoken. "Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?Here you go create another fable You wanted to" • Now he is addressing the father with a rhetorical question, implying that he left the door open for the angels to fail by leaving the keys upon the table, and saying "you wanted to" create another fable, like the first fable which was the fall of man. "I don't think you trust In, my, self righteous suicide" • Again he is addressing god, and his self righteous suicide is that he sympathizes with the angels who, in the Book of Enoch sent a petition for forgiveness to the father which was denied, and so the fallen angels were made to die. "I, cry, when angels deserve to die In, my, self righteous suicide I, cry, when angels deserve to die" • He is saddened that the fallen angels, aka sons of god, were not given forgiveness and instead made to die. "Father, father, father, father Father into your hands, I commend my spirit Father into your hands" • The sound of this these lyrics in the song are so depressing, when he sings "father" the second and fourth time, it's a bloodcurdling scream that sounds like he is being eternally damned. "why have you forsaken me In your eyes forsaken me In your thoughts forsaken me In your heart forsaken, me" • The fallen angels were called the 'Sons of God' in the Book of Enoch and so he uses the words of the Son of God, asking the father "Why have you forsaken me" and adds "In your eyes", "In your thoughts", "In your heart" which were not uttered by Jesus, to convey the degree to which the father had forsaken the fallen angels. "Trust in my self righteous suicide I, cry, when angels deserve to die In my self righteous suicide I, cry, when angels deserve to die" • So in conclusion, this song is the feelings of someone sympathizing with the fallen angels in the Book of Enoch. |
