Cover art for Times Of Trouble lyrics by Temple of the Dog

this song was meant to maybe make us see the light at the end of the tunnel. the lyrics explain that no matter how terribly low you've sank, that time will heal you. chris basically says "Don't do what Andy did. Don't fall into the trap of heroin. Don't loose hope, and don't fall short of your full potential". the part of the song that speaks to me the most is " i somebody left you out on a ledge and if somebody pushed you over the edge, and if somebody LOVED YOU AND LEFT YOU FOR DEAD, youve gotta hold on to your time till you break through these times of trouble". don't forget what they've done is what he's trying to say, but move on and learn.

Good thought. The only lyric that seems to be out of place (but is decently cool) is "I saw you swingin your mother's sword". The rest of the whole song i can decipher the lyrics to real life situations but that one line escapes me. Maybe i'm just out of time on expressions (shrug)...
