Discover the story of the song > Black Hole Sun – Chris Cornell

The lyrics talk about someone who is feeling down and wants to escape their problems. They describe the heat and unpleasant smells of summer, and how the sky looks dark and lifeless. The protagonist asks for the black hole sun to come and wash away the rain (which could symbolize their sadness), and while they feel tired and disheartened, they still hold onto hope for a better future.
