Before We Disappear Lyrics
Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast
Taking everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in the quiet earth
If there's a door to every cell
A pearl inside of every shell
Then how hard can it be
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years
Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard
It will show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
Till you're spun around in a free fall
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
So how hard can it be
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
I'm not one to waste my time
Searching for some silver lining
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
So how hard can it be (how hard)
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
Before we disappear
Before we disappear
Taking everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in the quiet earth
A pearl inside of every shell
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years
It will show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
Till you're spun around in a free fall
Lies the shelter of your heart
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
Searching for some silver lining
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart
To share your life with me?
How hard can it be
To rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
Before we disappear

Hauntingly prophetic, "Before we Disppear" is a song about sharing ones love with those people/persons we love the most be we "disappear". Life is short, I think many of us can related to this one when we anticipate our end, yet have someone out there we love dearly.
I've read the song was written/released only 5 months before Chris would commit suicide.
@Mmeh97 sorry my friend, but it is impossible that this could've been written only 5 months before the death of Cornell, because this song is in the album "Higher Truth", released in 2015

You never really know the deal with people. On the outside, it would seem Chris had it made. You know he cared about people and everyone around him, so why did he do it? Maybe he/they couldn't relate to what he needed or was looking for. Life is simply complex and complexly simple. No judgement, heart breaking as it is. Absolute legend, and not just saying it to say it.
