Lyric discussion by saal 

will somebody please tell me the meaning of this song?

I'm not sure anyone can actually tell "you" what it means saal. I think the meaning is very clear. This song is about the unique evil capacity within everyone that lives on after you die. A running theme throughtout literature and philosophy. If you read Chris Cornell's lyrics it becomes clear that he is well read.

Evil is within everyone. Evil lives on after you die. So what is evil. Does it take some form. This song is not about time. Notice how you can substitute evil into the lyrics and it is almost perfect.

Actually, Kim Thayil wrote these lyrics.
