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

He's putting out an advertisement of sorts-the world is going to end and I'm all by myself.I don't know,because he's been content with being a loner until that point,or maybe he can't reach his friends,or something like that.So he's looking for a person that he can be with while the world ends.Because who wants to be on their own while the world is ending?And he talks about the kind of relationship he says he can have with that person.There will be no commitment or confessions,no sharing secrets.All he has to offer is his company while the world is ending.So he says,if there's someone out there who is also friendless and seeking company,they can call on him.And the cool thing about their relationship is that although there will be no intimate conversations and so on,there's an unspoken kinship of sorts between them and they're glad that they can be there for each other,and relieved to have found a friend to be with during this hard time,and that's what makes their relationship work.And while the world gets blown up,etc. they can find solace in the fact that at least they're not alone,and spend your final,breaking moments with a friend.
