| Song lyrics |
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky why, why, why
Can't it be, why can't it be mine

yeah i love this song...and aaron lewis' version too. but one question, i think that this one is right, but i'm not sure. this one says "i'll know you'll be the sun in somebody else's sky" and that's what it sounds like. but on a bunch of other websites it says "i'll know you'll be a star in somebody else's skies" so i really don't know. help me out peeps! <3 | 19-08-2004 21:23 Kotsiya |  302 posts

Eddie vedder is a master at metaphorically detailing emotions. He's definitely one of the best rock lyricists of all time. "Black" is one of the best songs ever recorded, no doubt.  | 04-01-2005 00:32 Snigeln6 |  25 posts

This is , while not my favourite, the best song they have written, the closing verse is one of the most emotionally painfull things I have ever listened to. is it just me or does the remix on rearveiwmirror seem to simplify the song?
Freekaleekgirl the answer to you question is that the line is "star" not "sun", its a common mistake and most people argue on it but its definately "star"

An amazingly powerful song. The line in the last chorus is amazing: "And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything." Great Great Great Great song.  | 12-04-2005 03:42 kun |  1,415 posts

This is easily Pearl Jam's best song and definitely my favourite songs of all time. It's just one of those songs that is so great that there are no words to sum it up. Beautiful, wonderful, awesome, great, superb, amazing - it would take all of those words and alot more to give it a full summary.
* offtopic : My favourite four songs of all time are Black by Pearl Jam, Would by Alice in Chains, Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots and The Day I Tried To Live by Soundgarden. I think anyone who enjoyed Black should have a listen to those other songs I mentioned (Unless you already have)
