![]() In this instance the highway signs become the proverbial black hole that begins to "swallow" the character and help begin his journey toward his event horizon, which is his full immersion. Then Vedder relates to the black hole metaphor again by saying, "Suddenly swallowed by signs, low and behold." There are no black holes here, so I have to do this on my own." I see this second verse being the main character conceding to the fact that, "Alas, I can't change the past, I can only look forward to the future. ![]() If you were to travel back in time you would basically be folding the proverbial "timeline" back on itself, and at least in our brains current evolutionary stage, this is not possible. <- if you think about this visual it makes sense even to someone who doesn't understand it. or as astrophysicists say "Fold the space-time continuum". LIterally, we don't even have a measurement for the "smallest unit of time" because it passes so quickly that it's not possibly to freeze it, travel backward or forward through it. Time passes because things are constantly changing. The next verse says, "Such is the passage of time, too fast to fold." Therefore, Vedder chooses to say "Burning black holes in dark memories." meaning that he is literally running as far away from those memories as he possibly can in his physical reality: the black hole metaphor representing the ultimate separation. He is doing so because of all of the dark memories and damage that was done to him during his childhood. The main character in Into the Wild is running away from his life. Simply stated, a black hole is our only feasible route OUT of our universe and in to infinitely more universes with infinite possibilities, realities etc. It stands to reason that if the gravitational singularity causes a black hole in THIS universe, then it's theoretically possibly that it conversely opens up in to another universe, or layer of space. the "Event Horizon" being the point at which the curvature of space is such that even light can not escape the gravitational pull, and is also swallowed in to the black hole. ![]() This is what we have come to know as a black hole. A theory of the cosmos that's gaining more and more popularity is that there are actually multiple, arguably INFINITE universes existing side by side and the most logical connection between them would be through a gravitational singularity that causes space to curve so drastically that it begins to "swallow" everything around it and compress it in to an infinitely small space. In this case, Eddie Vedder is using the analogy of a black hole as a link to one or potentially multiple other universes. the metaphor(s) the artist uses to get the message across. What I thought this forum was for was to dig deeper and discover the lyrical meaning. That's not hard to discern for anyone who has seen the movie and listened to the song even once. ![]() I am disappointed that all I see in this thread is explanations of the SONG meaning. It is, without a doubt, "Burning black holes in dark memories." It's not "Bringing back holes in dark memories" or any other variety of words. Burning back holes in dark memories makes no sense at all, and as I'm about to explain both of the versus are related to complete a metaphor that falls perfectly in to place only with the usage of "Black Holes", nothing else.
