All Your Lies Lyrics

All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies
All your fears are lies

See through your
Tripless, falling, limping, crawling,
Biting, fighting, back from dying
Endless ending, comprehending
Nothing of the sin she's sinning

Loosely buying your cheating, your lying
Will make it mine
While never crying
Corralled like a cat
With my head in a sack
And I feel like I'm tied to a railroad track

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

soundgarden were not quite as devoleped as a band at this stage than towards their later career even so i am pretty sure this song is about a particular event or person, someone that has double standards that may whinge about things then does them herself "see through your" means u can see through this mask, and lists beahviours of this person the next verse says that cornell falls for it sometimes but only just"loosely buying your cheating,your lying" i think to know this person is a struggle, "with my head in a sack and i fell like i'm tied to a railroad track"

This song is awesome! It took awhile to get the lyrics down, but once I did, its an awesome song to sing along to. Love the part around 3:15 when he sings it in monotone, sounds evil and chant-like.

As for the meaning I gotta agree with ThayilBeGod.
