Drawing Flies Lyrics

Cover art for Drawing Flies lyrics by Soundgarden

I don't like to give a meaning for songs because I think everyone should interpret songs the way they want to, but to me this song is about the grunge movement in general: "Sitting here like uninvited company Wallowing in my own obscenities I share a cigarette with negativity Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes And drawing flies" I think that is about the way the grunge movement is kind of about being dirty and the line :drawing flies" means that he is so dirty that flies are attracted.

I also think that the chorus could be about writers' block.
