You flew in on the wind
Was a day that I won't forget
Told me to let you in
And that I would not regret it
But you had a touch as cool as rain
And only once the weather changed

Murder of blue skies
I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you again

Now, the truth will set you free
But all you had was lying in you
So you built a cage for me
All the while pretending to be
A living saint with a thorny crown
And me condemned to be your clown
I applaud you as you take a bow

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you

I always thought that I pride myself on patience
But it's wearing thin
Never thought that falling for you only meant
Falling down

Falling down
Falling down

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
Though I may bend

I can't wait
To never be with you again
And I can't wait
To lead a life that you're not in
And I won't break
The one they bend
From time to time
I can't wait to never be with you again
I can't wait to never be with you again

    My Opinion

    2 idiotic comments . It has nothing to with "drugs" or addiction. Cornell for a start was clean for the last 14 years, his biggest addictions were to diet coke, and of course his music . His final album Higher Truth spoke loud and clear to anyone who was a fan and had been following the career and to some extent the life and indeed the aftermath of his tragic and unexpected death. Murderer of Blue skies is about Vicky . Every single line is about her and how she had conned, decieved, controlled and caged this patient, warm hearted , loving empath who lived for his family , his children, more to the point .Extremely vulnerable when entrapped by Vicky the trained from infancy predatory opportunist. Her equally greedy gold digging mother had her groomed from an early age to find and entrap a rich vulnerable man to provide for her and the entire family and Chris was the unfortunate man who was entrapped at the most vulnerable time of his life. Straight out of rehab, marriage falling apart under the stress , advised by his negligent counsellors at Promises rehab to not return to Seattle where he would be triggered into using again , he was a prime target for her when he arrived at the Audioslave after-party on that equally tragic ""starry night in Paris" where Vicky the gold digging fame whore was waiting to pounce . Chris no doubt fell for her at the time because his mind had been rewired in rehab into thinking drastic change was a good thing . Sne lived in Paris and what a convenient way for him to escape Seattle. His poor wife ,whom he was still married to at the time was oblivious to all of this, but Vicky knew exactly what she was doing and shock horror suddenly she was pregnant and the trap was snapped shut on him . He had a crumbled marriage back in Seattle and a chance to start a new life with a younger woman and child (the paternity of which many still doubt this day because of the timeline involved) completely clean of his addictions in a foreign country .... What's not to understand ? Empaths are also drawn to narcissists and thidnwas the case here. The empath subconsciously believes they are restoring balance when realistically they are just destroying themselves .

    Chris finally woke up possibly a few years previous to his death . We do know that he was seperated (fact) and in the process of divorcing Vicky (assumed) at the time of his death. She was the last person to spesk to him. Excuse me , fight with him, on the phkne on the nignt of his death. Now, whether he commited suicide or was suicided is a whole other web of drama with much weight to the claims but I won't go into that, only to say that it is not beyond the realm of possibility tjst the Karriyannis Klan would be very easily paid off to shut up. These people thrive on msming their money via law suits and there have been many indicators that the Karriyannis family were (and still are) involved in many underhanded illegal activities without his knowledge using his money , including sex trafficking. Vicky was also known to have been pilfering hundreds of thousands in "administrator expenses" from the foundation they were involved in, unknown to Chris. It's been mentioned that discovery of these activities and much other deception led to the downfall of Chris Cornell. He most definitely wrote "Murderer of Blue Skies" and the song entitled "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart" with the aforementioned narcisstic golddigging fame whore in mind . Do you really think he would have approved of their behaviour in this last year in his memoriam? Or how they have pushed his daughter by Vicky into the limelight as their new cash cow , a plan doomed to fail and humiliate that 13 year old child? Have they ever truly shown proper decorum when it comes to grieving this man? Have you ever seen any photographs from the last few years which depicts happiness and love which are not staged or phoned in to paparazzi in advance by the self entitled publicist herself ? And the whole "keep the promise" b.s? Keeping the promise apparently involved continuous holidays involving sunbathing and shopping at designer stores in Italy, Greece and other well to do hotspots . The "promise" of funding for vulnerable children exploited abused or neglected has never come to pass. Vicky is the "Murderer of Blue Skies"

    And there we have my opinion . It's all alleged of course ;)

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
