This is a very depressing song and it kinda of hard to make sense of. I personally believe is about the lead singer losing a girl he love very much.
'Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets are clean
Her things spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth does the sun
Now the air I've tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything'
These lyrics talk about how the writer 'made' this girl. He taught her a lot of things, and they depended on each other, like the earth depends on the sun.
After losing this girl, everything went 'black' as if there were no sun, the world would be dark.
'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, can't it be mine'
The writed misses this girl very much, and wishes to have her back in his life.

The inspiration from this song came from a prophet from Toledo,Ohio who sent a letter to Mrs Gairth and the superintendent of schools in TN . It's about petroleum coming up from the bottomless pit. The prophets name is James (Jim) Oldham. At the end of Jeremy well be a few Oldham's as well as one in Black and a Jim.At the end of black is a bunch of to le do 's. Try to erase it from the blackboard !

Revival rising...the preacher said all is washed in black...turned my world to black...a worlds love gone bad..all I am all I'll ever be(Cause he's only on plastic from petroleum on plastic CD's,cassetes,vcr tape etc.)THE PREACHER SAID," All is washed in black !" Take a song and drive away(In his beast;when I looked closer it was like a horse arrayed for battle and when it moved it made a great noise...and when I looked closer I seen the faces of men(through the windshields and side windows of cars and trucks)from petroleum:linoleum,asphalt,fibreglass shingles,gin,whiskey,aspirin,carpets,freon,insulation,pipes,circuit breakers,pharmaceuticals,food additives,herbicides,pesticides,paint,lubricants,solvents,etc,etc,etc,etc,.. His inspiration for this song from a letter to Mrs Gairth and the Superintendant of schools in TN from the prophet from Toledo,James Oldham
