An Unkind
Unveiling the Dark Tapestry: Soundgarden's 'An Unkind'
Lyrics
We see the vipers of distance
We observe the divisive forces of separation.
Crawl into our lives everyday
They infiltrate our lives regularly.
Breeding our Eden's of hatred
Creating and nurturing our personal paradises of hatred.
Pathetically stupid and unkind
Expressing a sense of foolishness and cruelty.
We couldn't look a saint in the eye
We are unable to face a virtuous person with honesty.
We couldn't look a saint in the eyes
Reiteration of the difficulty in facing a saint.
On the storm
Amidst challenges or chaos.
It's time to go
It is the moment to depart.
On the storm
Emphasizing the urgency to leave in the midst of turmoil.
It's time to go
Reiteration of the need to depart during a storm.
Marching in lines of contradiction
Marching in patterns that contradict each other.
Forgetting the history we make
Forgetting the significant history we create.
Loving our hangmen as the penultimate joke
Loving those who harm us, as a darkly ironic jest.
We lack the Moses
We lack a guiding figure like Moses.
To look a saint in the eye
Unable to confront a saint truthfully.
On the storm
In the midst of challenges or chaos.
It's time to go
It's time to depart, reiterating urgency.
On the storm
Repetition of the need to leave during a storm.
It's time to go
(No specific lyrical content)
On the storm
Reiteration of the imperative to depart.
It's time to go
Stressing the urgency to leave during a storm.
On the storm
Emphasizing the critical moment to depart.
It's time to go
Reiteration of the urgency to leave.
