Blow Up The Outside World-Soundgarden

lyrics

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try

Nothing is closing my eyes

Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight

And nothing seems to break me

No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all

Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I’ve given everything I need

I’d give you everything I own

I’d give in if it could at least be ours alone

I’ve given everything I could

To blow it to hell and gone

Burrow down in and blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something

Don’t let the world bring you down

Nothing will do me in before I do myself

So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understand

Wanting though I never would

Trying though I know it’s wrong

Blowing it to hell and gone

Wishing though I never could

Blow up the outside world

meaning

“Nothing seems to kill me, no matter how hard I try, nothing is closing my eyes”

To me it sounds like he’s trying to commit suicide.

“Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight”

Also sounds like he doesn’t care if he brings pain or joy to anyone by doing it.

“And nothing seems to break me, no matter how hard I fall, nothing could break me at all”

Once again, sounds like suicide.

“Not one for giving up, though not invincible I know”

Sounds like he’s going to keep hurting himself because sooner or later he knows something will work.

“I’ve given everything I need, I’d give you everything I own, I’d give in if it could be ours alone”

Saying that if she would be his then he would stop hurting himself. Like, he was hurting himself, or wanting to, because he couldn’t have her.

“I’ve given everything I could, to blow it to hell and gone, Burrow down in and blow up the outside world”

Pretty much saying that he’s done everything he can think of to hurt himself and they are not working so he just wants to be alone.

“Someone tried to tell me, don’t let the world bring you down”

Sounds like someone’s advice to him

“Nothing will do me in before I do myself, so save it for your own and the ones you can help”

He’s knows nothing can really hurt him, but himself so he thinks the advice is useless to him.

“Want to make it understood, wanting though I never would”

Saying that he might want to hurt himself sometimes, but he never would.

“Trying though I know it’s wrong, blowing it to hell and gone”

Well, in today’s society, the religious people in general, it’s wrong to try and kill yourself cause you’ll go to hell.

“Wishing though I never could, blow up the outside world”

Saying that sometimes he may want to commit suicide, but he never would, so he just wants to be left alone.

Blackened is the end / Winter it will send / Throwing all you see / Into obscurity

Death of mother earth / Never a rebirth / Evolution’s end / Never will it mend / Never

Fire / To begin whipping dance of the dead / Blackened is the end
