| Soundgarden – Christi Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Sounds to me that it's about an obsessed fan or something. | |
| Temple of the Dog – Angel on Fire Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
it's a TOTD demo Lyrics are not always the personal story of the poet. I think this song is about a girl who her boyfriend doesn't really love her, but she holds onto him still and loves him anyway "And you think I love you Just cause I said so.' "If I gave him enough rope he'd hang me. But when she turns to him There's no place she'd rather be." |
|
| Temple of the Dog – Call Me A Dog Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think it's about a couple when one person treats the other as low and complain about him all the time, but the other one doesn't care since he love her so much. | |
| Soundgarden – Kickstand Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I think he is using his kickstand as a metaphore ;) | |
| VAST – Pretty When You Cry Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| It's not just about the sex. it's much more than that, it's about being abusive to someone and enjoying him being your victim, and not just sexually, also emotionally. he is clearly getting his kicks from hurting her and the thing is, that she likes it just as much as he does since she stays with him. it seems like this couple is dependent and feeds on pain. love and hate relatioship indeed. | |
| Chris Cornell – Nowhere But You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
the lyrics are just not the same without that creppy dark music. it sounds just so... stalkrish... or depressed. I love that song. it's brilliance. |
|
| Soundgarden – Swallow My Pride (Green River cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
That's a Green River cover isn't it? Well I think Soundgarden did it better though Green River rocks as well. |
|
| Soundgarden – 4th of July Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Dude that's harsh. don't try it again ;). you personal comment and Chris' comment does help to understand this song better and to see it in a better light. thanks. I think that's one of the best Soundgarden song ever written. |
|
| Chris Cornell – Seasons Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song is so rich, so poetic and beautiful. Chris sure has talent. I think this song is about being lonely and unable to express his feeling to someone he feels for. very sad. this is one of my favorite depression songs. |
|
| Soundgarden – Bleed Together Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
sounds like a song about HIV to me. or a very devastating sick relationship |
|
| Soundgarden – 4th of July Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this can give you an idea what's the song is about: Chris: One time I was on acid, and there were voices ten feet behind my head. The whole time I'd be walking, they'd be talking behind me. It actually made me feel good, because I felt like I was with some people. At one point I was looking back, and I saw that one person was wearing a black shirt and jeans, and the other person was wearing a red shirt. They were always there. It was kinda like a dream, though, where I'd wake up and look and focus once in a while and realize there was no one there. I'd go, "Oh, fuck, I'm hearing voices." RIP: Do you write a lot of songs on acid? Chris: No, but "4th of July" is pretty much about that day. You wouldn't get that if you read it. It doesn't read like, "Woke up, dropped some acid, got into the car and went to the Indian reservation." RIP Magazine, April 1994 |

| Chris Cornell – Mission Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song as far as i understood, is about a man who is trying to get to someone desperately, someone who has been hurt in the past and now is shielding himself from affection and love because of the fear of being hurt again or something like this. The narrator is determine to overcome the shields and get to this person. This is his mission. really a good song. |

| Soundgarden – Nothing to Say Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I love that song, it has a dark vibe. I think it's basically about a guy who talks a lot but has really nothing to say. "Someone said my words are out of balance" yeah... |
|
| Soundgarden – Little Joe Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Yes, a young man going to fight the war, GI Joe. Might be the Vietnam war? |
|
| Audioslave – Yesterday to Tomorrow Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
A great love song, my second favorite song on the new album. obviously it's about finding love :) |
|
| Mudhoney – Overblown Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Hmn possibly about the grunge scene getting so famous suddenly at the early 90's? | |
| Blind Melon – No Rain Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
One of the finest songs of the 90's. Too bad about Shannon :\ he was very talented. R.I.P |
|
| Soundgarden – I Awake Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| That's true. she even gets credited for it :) | |
| Soundgarden – Holy Water Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Yeah i agree, the song is about religion and how much he grew tired of it and of the attempts of the preachers to try to brain wash him and make him believe in something he doesn't want to: "As you're raped by another monkey circus freak It's the big lies that are more likely to be believed " |
|
| Soundgarden – Heretic Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
That's Chris with no doubt. actually he sounds great. the song is about women being accused to be witches and been burnd at the stake in the past, i think... but there must be some undercovered meaning to this |
|
| Soundgarden – Head Injury Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Sounds like a song about a child of a beating parent | |
| Soundgarden – Head Down Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think Lepra Messias is right. the singing is also kind of like a lullaby. |
|
| Soundgarden – Head Down Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
These are not the full lyrics. We steal that smile from your face We hear you cry We hear you wail We steal that smile from your face We see you laugh We see you dance We take that away everyday We see you cry We turn your head Then we slap your face Bow down with your life Head down, hide that smile Head high got to smile Head high got to smile We see you try We see you fail Some things never change We hear you cry We hear you wail We steal that smile from your face Bow down with your life Head down, hide that smile Head high got to smile Head high like a song you like |
|
| Soundgarden – Fresh Tendrils Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I am not sure about this song. I think it's about a couple when one of the partners (lets say the girl) who is always right made a big mistake and now he is ashamed about it and her partner is happy about seeing her like this and keeps reminding her she wanted to make mistakes like everyone else. But that's just what i think. you can never know with Chris. |
|
| Soundgarden – Loud Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The lyrics of this song is pretty obvious. I still like it though, great music. kinda makes you feel free. |
|
| A Perfect Circle – The Noose Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
hardcoremike8 and AzWeThinkIam are right, if you listen to other Tool\APC songs you might just get it. "The halo" is a beautiful metaphor, but it doesn't have anything to do with suicide, i see it more as a metaphor of being pulled down to earth and snapping back to the cold reality. you can try and clean your past, but your sins will hunt you forever. |
|
| Mr. Bungle – Retrovertigo Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| *how everything gets industrialize today. i mean. | |
| Mr. Bungle – Retrovertigo Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I always thought it's about everything gets industrialize today. | |
| Audioslave – Like a Stone Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
aquastars is very right. this song is about waiting to die. I think Tim said that's what Chris himself told him. never take this for granted. ;) it's nto about god or a girl. |
|
| Faith No More – Ashes to Ashes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Thank you :) that's what I'm think. and yes that part is a little bit complicated to fit in, it's kinda optimistic and promising. but the "I'll see you." gets me back on thinking he is about to do something very bad to her. I mean, where does he plan to see her soon? maybe the whole chours is an attempt to convince her he is doing it because he loves and he is good and going to give her all. |
|
| Chris Cornell – Preaching The End of The World Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I really love this song, Chris' voice is just so soft in this song it makes you feel kinda warm inside. anyway i think this song is just about wanting to be with someone and not wanting to be alone in the very last moments of your life. not wanting to die alone. |
|
| Faith No More – Everything's Ruined Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I never realized until now that this song is about the capitalist economic in Russia, i think you people are right. there is also a picture of the band in russian milatry uniform at Angel Dust album. | |
| Faith No More – Ashes to Ashes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I hope I'm not overanalyzing this. but this song always seemed dark to me and the name: "Ashes To Ashes" makes me think it's about some obsessive lover who wants to kill his spouse and then suicide. just an opinion though. he is stating he is about to do something bad "I want them to know it's me" - "I'll point the finger at me" and says he will give everything to her to be closer and wants her to do the same. but i could be wrong, and it could be about anything and about nothing. you can never no with Mike Patton and that's why we love him ;) |

| Audioslave – Show Me How to Live Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I agree with Araw. By the way, Chris Cornell as far as i remember went to a catholic school and hated it. he dropped out when he was about 15 and rebelled against his catholic education. |
|
| Soundgarden – Spoonman Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I agree with the dude above me, this song is simply about their friend Artis. nothing deeper than that. Anyway, i love that song, great bass. and Chris does an amazing vocal preformance as always. |
