But because the melody is really pretty, everyone thinks it's almost chipper, which is ridiculous.' When asked about the line, 'Times are gone for honest men,' Cornell said: There was no real idea to get across.' Commenting upon how the song was misinterpreted as being positive, Cornell said, 'No one seems to get this, but 'Black Hole Sun' is sad. I was just sucked in by the music and I was painting a picture with the lyrics. Other than that, I sure didn't have an understanding of it after I wrote it. The chorus lyric is kind of beautiful and easy to remember. I guess it worked for a lot of people who heard it, but I have no idea how you'd begin to take that one literally.' In another interview he elaborated further, stating, 'It's funny because hits are usually sort of congruent, sort of an identifiable lyric idea, and that song pretty much had none. I pulled this from an article, 'Regarding 'Black Hole Sun', Cornell stated, 'It's just sort of a surreal dreamscape, a weird, play-with-the-title kind of song.' He also said that 'lyrically it's probably the closest to me just playing with words for words' sake, of anything I've written.
