Blood on the Valley Floor

Soundgarden

Mountains all around
Altogether we stumble

Eleven million clowns
Every one with a razor out

And the smoke lies on the valley floor
And the blood dries while we spill some more

Once we were the end
The end of the long road
Leading to the start
Of the ever-invading crowds

Hey
And the smoke lies on the valley floor
And the blood dries

Endless summer, needless space
Fill it all up with the void

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

Mountains all around
Altogether we tumble down
And the smoke lies on the valley floor
And the blood dries
While we spill

    General CommentThis song is about being an incredibly talented person in stasis. It's maybe about Soundgarden disbanding at the height of their fame. They've reached "the end of a long road" to meet "the crowds." But now the protagonist is stuck in the valley, stumbling aimlessly, surrounded by unclimbable mountains.

    The lyrics above are very wrong.

    General CommentI feel like this song is about a slump. What kind of slump is debatable, but its definitely a slump

    General CommentThis song harkens back to Superunknown, Black Sabbath inspired, heavy metal grunge. Very dark and intense song that gives me images of the aftermath of war.
