| Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Chris Cornell never had a drug problem, but he did use the occasonial hallucinogen. He said that 4th of July was written while he was on an LSD trip. I think the same thing happened while he wrote this song. In any case, every interview with him said that he can't remember what the heck this song is about! I guess that leaves the floor open for free interpretation. I always thought it sounded like he was speaking as some really jaded entity (angel perhaps? the talk of snakes and serpants seems to give it a religious context) that has totally given up on humanity, with our short attention spans, pollution, and general evil ways. |

| KMFDM – Sturm & Drang Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I'm pretty sure in this context the meaning of Sturm & Drang is "Storm & Stress." Sturm und Drang was a late 18th century writing movement, in essence a rebellion against the neoclassic/Frenchish style popular at the time. The themes of rebellion and deconstruction in the song fits well with the ideas of the literary movement. | |
