Black - Pearl Jam - CL

The speaker is reminiscing about a past relationship that has turned bitter. They describe how the woman taught them everything and gave them all of herself, but now their hands are bitter and they are surrounded by darkness ("all my pictures have been washed in black"). The love they shared has "gone bad" and turned their world black, tattooing all they see, are, and will be. They hope that someday the woman will find happiness with someone else ("you'll be a sun, in somebody else's sky") but wish it could have been with them instead.
