Counting The Days Lyrics
Hey baby are you listening
I've batten all the hatches down
I've taken all of your prescriptions but no remedy I've found
[Chorus:]
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until some freedom can scream my name
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until the gods break these chains.
hey baby are you watching
I'm saddling for your side show
I never want to become precious
This life is so touch and go
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Dig it, get it, dig it what your looking for?
Dig it, get it, dig it what your searching for?
Dig it, get it, dig it yeah, dig
Yeah, dig
[Chorus]
I've batten all the hatches down
I've taken all of your prescriptions but no remedy I've found
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until some freedom can scream my name
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until the gods break these chains.
I'm saddling for your side show
I never want to become precious
This life is so touch and go
Dig it, get it, dig it what your looking for?
Dig it, get it, dig it what your searching for?
Dig it, get it, dig it yeah, dig
Yeah, dig

The feeling during the bridge is like struggling against heavy chains, slowly breaking free. It's an interesting song and stirs me up for work most mornings.
Well Archangel i listened to both songs and i really dont see how this is at all King Nothing in any way shape or form. Could you perhaps elaborate on that? Thx
seems to me like he's wanting to be free of something. i like the song. Archangel621, i too am confused. the song correlation theory i get when you hear the drum beat, but i don't see anything past that. coul you tell me what it is? it's an interesting theory and metallica is my fav band. thanks!
BOOM! He can't wait to get out and do stuff, live life to the fullest "Dig it, get it, dig it!" as in, FIND ME SOMETHING TO DO! ..."break these chains!!" It's like a kid with ADHD.
stixx n strings is right on with this one, especially with the ADHD concept from the line "I've taken all your prescriptions...."
I like this song and cs. i agree also wth stixx n strings, IT SEEMS THAT Counting the days to be free from some type of self emposed restraint/imprisonment.
it's cool
the guitar follows the same rythym as king nothing,everyone i know who has heard says the same thing,not a bad song but its kinda stale
As a huge Metallica and Collective Soul fan...I agree. The song is pretty much the same riff as King Nothing. But that's cool, it's still a decent song.
actually, i see exactly how this can be compared to king nothing. maybe some people are just hard of hearing.
