Pearl Jam: Black Meaning
Black Lyrics
she's a painted canvas, under sheets of clay
her legs spread out before me as her body lay still.
All of five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh,...

Lost lover maybe ..he tells us of how a part of his life it could be a girl it could without.
-
Virginity....he sings of how he first took a girls virginity. he falls in love with her knowin its only a fling to her an that she will end with somebody else.
-
He took someone's virginity and loved her and lost her couldn't be with her. I'm guessing she was young.

This is a song about how when Eddie was living in Mission Bay, he saw a beautiful 16 year old girl hanging out on the beach with some surfers. Being that Eddie was not the coolest guy in high school or as a young adult (or now), he knew he could not have the girl, and had to stay with his current homely girlfriend. He then became very frustrated and wrote this song about the girl whom he became obsessed with over the years. Writing other songs about her and naming album covers after her.
-
The song is about a heart-broken man remembering his lost lover.
-
It's about a man not wanting to let go of someone who meant the world to him. She was the sun in his life, and now the world is all Black without her. He realizes she will be the sun in someone else's life, but he wants it to be him.

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.
