Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be...yeah...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
나보고 좋아하는 밴드를 몇개 대보라고 하면 펄잼을 주저없이 먼저 이야기 할 것이다.
펄잼을 전설이라고 말하기에는 아직 너무 이른걸까?
혹자는 무슨소리냐고 반문할지도 모르겠지만 말이다..... 하긴 전설이라고 말하기엔 그들은 아직 너무나 왕성하게 활동중이다.
Black은 Ten 앨범에서 가장 좋아하는 곡.
