Black Hole Sun
Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]
Indisposed
In disguise
As 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
(Chorus)
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
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
Walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore
Chorus x2
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) x4
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
Chorus x3
Won't u come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) x7
Black Hole Sun
Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun' stands as a defining anthem of the grunge era, blending heavy distortion with melodic sensibilities to create a hauntingly atmospheric sound. The track, originally recorded for their landmark 1994 album *Superunknown*, features Chris Cornell's soaring vocals and the band's signature interplay between melodic guitar lines and aggressive riffs. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to evoke a sense of melancholic wonder, capturing the emotional intensity characteristic of Seattle's alternative rock scene in the mid-1990s. The song's lyrical themes of existential dread and spiritual longing resonate deeply with listeners, cementing its status as a cornerstone of modern rock history.
