“Fell on Black Days” is a song about futility, depression, and frustration, but with subtle hints at hope despite one’s struggles with such feelings. According to Songfacts, singer Chris Cornell conceived of the song long before it was written, but spent years crafting the proper mood for the lyrics...
[Verse 1]
Whatsoever I feared has come to light
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded, now I'm doin' time, now I'm doin' time
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Verse 2]
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
And whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a searchlight soul, they say, but I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking, when I get it right, when I get it right
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up somethin' that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking, no, not tying, no, not tying
[Bridge]

Yeah, sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Post-Chorus]
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
How would I know that this could be my fate?
[Outro]
I sure don't mind a change

Chris Cornell in an interview with EW,
‘Fell On Black Days’ is the feeling of waking up one day and realizing you’re not happy with your life. Nothing happened, there was no emergency, no accident, you don’t know what happened. You were happy, and one day you just aren’t, and you have to try to fig...
