| Is it just me or did soundgarden take all the cool names? Soundgarden for a start, Loud Love, Mind Riot, Superunknown, Ultramega OK, Screaming Life...all aesthetically pleasing | |

| "Candles burning yesterday, Somebodies best friend died" The somebody is chris and hes obviously not had anyone he knows or loves die before so for once that somebody is actually him, and hes doesnt know what to think or do with himself, hence "Mind Riot" | |

| I have to disagree with this being about andrew wood. I have no doubts that all bands made some sort of tributes to him, but Cornell had already done the temple of the dog project (An entire tribute album to Andrew Wood). | |

| I'm not entirely sure that this is the gist of it but at the minute, it consolidates the feeling I know people can get when they're faced with death and find it hard to escape the pessimism and futility you can get enveloped in when you concentrate on it too long. | |

| Which looks like it's about Andy Wood, by the way. Or how important both he and his tragic end was for chris' own life. | |

| Agreed to what the first dude said, this is a great song and i wish more people realized it. This is one of my favorite guitar parts. But ya it could be about Andrew Wood, a lot of bands were making little tributes to him at this time. | |
