Lyric discussion by ExitusDeadly 

You know, I appreciate everyone's thoughts on this song. I never heard it the way most of you folks have, how I heard it was this:

The sudden explosion of the music scene out of Seattle brought in a much larger population and materialism. Bigger buildings were built and highways were extended and so forth. I thought that Chris was saying that the grunge movement was responsible for it and that he was essentially apologizing to the citizens of Seattle. But I could be wrong. This is my absolute favorite Soundgarden song. I guess i just heard it differently than all of you lol.
