Rather, in the name of making it more understandable to some listeners, perhaps the titular statement can rather be read as ‘f**k the outside world’. “Blow Up the Outside World”Īnd as for the title of the track, it is apparently indicative of some type of disdain the vocalist has towards the world at large. But it isn’t like he’s a terrorist or anything like that. So what the aforementioned attitude rather indicates is that he isn’t the type to give up, no matter how bad things may get or how many people wish to bring about or witness his downfall.Īnd again, he is quite cocky in his approach. For instance, the vocalist is not interested in any external pieces of advice. It’s more like you hold down yourself and your people, and he’ll do the same. So let’s just say he doesn’t need any encouragement in terms of staying optimistic, as through sheer survival experience the narrator knows that he isn’t the type to crumble in the first place.Īnd yes, some of this does quite ironic, right down to the assertion that “nothing can do me in before I do myself”, coming from someone like Chris Cornell who did ultimately commit suicide.
The vocalist takes on this ‘nothing can kill me but me’ type of mentality. And in the second verse he literally acknowledges the simple truth that he knows he isn’t invincible.
