This I feel echoes the rest of the song and what that situations. The chorus I feel "Blackhole Sun" is a Sun you want during dark times where you feel suffocated and strangled by everything around you falling apart. So now, while finishing watching 'A Walk among the Tombstones' and listened to the lyrics again to see if they made any sense and this is what I got. To me there was some meaning but as much as I tried I couldn't get it. But because the melody is really pretty, everyone thinks it's almost chipper, which is ridiculous.My InterpretationI never bought Chris Cornell saying it's just a random bunch of words. There was no real idea to get across." Commenting upon how the song was misinterpreted as being positive, Cornell said, "No one seems to get this, but " Black Hole Sun" is sad.

I was just sucked in by the music and I was painting a picture with the lyrics. Other than that, I sure didn't have an understanding of it after I wrote it. The chorus lyric is kind of beautiful and easy to remember.

I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally." In another interview he elaborated further, stating, "It's funny because hits are usually sort of congruent, sort of an identifiable lyric idea, and that song pretty much had none. Matt Cameron called the song "a huge departure." Cornell stated, "It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song." He also said that "lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written.
