Cover art for Overfloater lyrics by Soundgarden

this song is about alcohol, which was chris cornell's drug of choice. its about being a depressive alcoholic, sitting in a dark room, and just drinking yourself to sleep. its having "liquid courage" replace what depression and insecurity destroys; confidence... but only in the comfort of lonliness. "Pour the potion up, stare your shadow down."
