| Soundgarden – The Day I Tried to Live Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| The day you try to succeed, the day you try to win, to make it to the top, you can fail miserably and hurt people, or win miserably and hurt people. Basically, the cheaty way to get to the top of the proverbial "totem pole" is by letting others suffer. "Dangled from the power lines" to me refers to being high up, but being barely able to support yourself in a risky position like this. | |
| Soundgarden – 4th of July Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This song (in my mind) speaks of dark days: the last days. The death of happiness, religion, prosperity. A grey world. Terrible things happen. "Cause I heard it in the wind, And I saw it in the sky, And I thought it was the end" the end finally comes, no hope. One tries to lightheartedly compare the grave situation with fond memories of remotely similar lights in the sky... "And I thought it was the 4th of July" an explosion. "Pale in the flare light The scared light cracks and disappears And leads the scorched ones here" "The fire is spreading And no one wants to speak about it" "Now I'm in control Now I'm in the fall out" |
