personally i find it equally, if not more offensive when non-religious/non-spiritual people sit there and bitch about "christians" pushing their views of religion on them, yet those same people sit right back and ridicule and try to push their lack-there-of religious views on others. its the same thing, actually its WORSE because of the extraordinary levels of hypocrisy these folks possess . you are free to have your opinions JUST as i am free to have mine as chris cornell is free to have his as your mom is free to have hers. difference is i wont judge you or ridicule for your views because they differ from mine. and i'm pretty sure chris cornell probably wont either.
okay now that that is out of the fucking way..
sorry to break it to the angry atheist andrews on here but chris cornell is very open about his spiritual beliefs and being a recovering drug addict/alcoholic. if anyone knows a lil about recovery it seems obvious what a whole bunch of audioslave songs are about. but only the writer truly knows. i believe the song is about basically getting outside of your mind for a lil while. doing something for another person instead of focusing on himself, enjoying the true beauty of the world, in the little things that many and most of us take for granted. and for a true addict/alcoholic.. to have a few minutes that you can separate you from yourself and get out of your mind for a lil bit is like a sanctuary.
I disagree. I won't get into the rant, but the song seems to be more about oblivion than having some sunshiny moment. When someone has led a tortured life, even the seemingly positive aspects of the past can invoke painful memories. He wants to escape his past completely, forget everything, and begin anew. Sadly, this is impossible, so he can only cling to idiosyncrasies
