Black Hole Sun Lyrics
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (won't you come)
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven sent hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come
Won't you come
Meaning of Black Hole Sun
“Black Hole Sun” embodies a profound sense of disillusionment and impending doom, wrapped in an almost hypnotic repetition. The lyrics paint a desolate picture – a decaying world shrouded in “black hole sun,” where beauty has vanished and replaced by heat, stench, and deceit. Chris Cornell’s vocals drip with weary resignation as he pleads for escape, urging someone to "wash away the rain" and disappear the anxieties that consume him. There's a yearning for lost youth, a lament for fading authenticity, and a chilling acceptance of self-destruction – “hang my head, drown my fear.” The repeated refrain, "Won’t you come," becomes an increasingly desperate cry, suggesting a profound isolation and a desire for redemption from a world that has become overwhelmingly dark and corrupt. Ultimately, the song conveys a feeling of being trapped within a personal abyss, seeking solace in a vanished hope.
