Cover art for Siddhartha lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

i looked up the word siddhartha online and it has something to do with the buddist religion. Siddhartha apparently lived through the good and bad things in life. Jerry is writing about how he has experienced the good and bad in life. "Happiness and black both known, much learned" He states how he his experience has taught him lessons in life. He uses him as inspiration and looks for a better day ahead. This is a great song to listen to when times are rough whether it be relationship trouble or any general life problems.
