Preaching The End of The World Lyrics

Cover art for Preaching The End of The World lyrics by Chris Cornell

I'm hearing a theme of someone that he loved dearly left him. He's looking to replace the void in his heart:

If your intentions are pure, I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world

The end could be depression leading to suicide.

This is really dark, depressing stuff that Chris wrote. Really good music.
