A Thousand Days Before Lyrics

Cover art for A Thousand Days Before lyrics by Soundgarden

I can't believe no one's commented on this excellent song yet!

I'll break the ice: I think this song is typical of Cornell's "Me-against-the-world" attitude. Born imperfect into a life with many tears, and you have no one to depend on but yourself. Referring to the song's title, I think he's talking about how he conquered his battles that occurred a thousand days before. And in the end, he'll stand alone, but he'll still be standing.
