Lyric Summary
|
conveys a sense of inner struggle and disillusionment. It describes a world filled with decay and despair. The repeated plea to the "Black hole sun" represents a desire for relief from pain and emptiness. The lyrics touch on the loss of genuine voices and a longing for something authentic.
