Audioslave - Exploder Lyrics
I met a man locked away, for things he hadn't done.
Innocence on ball and chain. He'll never feel the sun Again on his face, or roses in his hands.
but when he smiled at me, I could understand.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.
There was a daughter of a man, who took his life too young;
She swore she'd never do the same, Then did just what he'd done.
And a boy who's gone insane, heard Voices in his head;
No one knows what they say, now his mother's dead.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If your head is high you'll never fear at all.
There was a man who had a face, that looked a lot like me.
I saw him in the mirror and, I fought him in the street;
Then when he turned away, I shot him in the head.
Then I came to realize, I had killed myself.
If you're free you'll never see the walls.
If your head is clear you'll never free fall.
If you're right you'll never fear the wrong.
If your head is high you'll never fear...

What a jam!!!
3:06 PUMPS ME UP EVERY TIME
Wherever you got the lyrics seriously fucked up a few places besides 'cuttin me down'
Things he hadn't done
He'd never feel the sun
Again on his face
If you're free you'll never see the walls
If your head is high you'll never fear
A boy who's gone insane
Now his mother's dead
That intro fucking breaks your spine man. what a beat.
life of the the waste.
Life of the source.
Find the platform
This is one of my favorite Audioslave songs. The 3rd verse in particular is funny. Well, maybe less funny now, but back in my day Chris Cornell was alive.
this song is not underated...this song is a forged steel hammer
klever kush sent me
Essa música me da vontade de comprar um Opala.
etched into time
Incredible song
2yrs already 2019 what a shame n a great loss . Rock.In.Peace.
Hits like a juggernaut at 100 miles an hour. RIP man.
This has got to be one of the hardest songs to hear from Cornell without invoking such sadness, even if the message is good one.
I always wanted to cover this song I wish I could
It's pretty hard to duplicate Chris Cornell.
i cry each time i heard it......so sad by memories but such a good song
Would've been perfect for Fight Club.
Love Audioslave Blue Stang
im confused who didnt like this song
Just to be clear something the stock market might collapse the gov is responsible for some of vet suicide and has technology beyond your belief possibly the un or illuminati
I think he really had his life planned out, idk the songs he wrote just come to close"*😪✌🖤
There was a daughter of a man "Who took his life too young" and Chris become to THAT MAN
Just kidding, not too shabby for someone hard of hearing.
COMPLAINT REGARDING TRANSLATION OF LYRICS. FEEEEL SHAME. FFEEEEEELL IT.
He's not saying cutting me down. He's just scatting.
Its sad but i'm just now hearing these songs. I listened to a few of their songs like "show me how to live" and "like a stone" but i never heard their full albums until now. It is just so sad because i know they will never make music ever again. But i guess even though this song is 16 years old its new to me. I guess you never really know what you have until you lose it.
It's better to discover his music late than it is to never discover it. You'll never see him live, but his music will always be around for you to discover it. There are no bad songs sung by Chris Cornell. It is impossible for a song to be bad if he's singing it.
lyrics are : never feel the sun again on his face, or roses in his hands.
Reliving this song and how insanely good it is
1:09 oh god this better not be foreshadowing.
3rd verse is eerie considering he committed suicide in real life
Not really. He didn't shoot himself in real life.
0Then i came to realize i had killed mySEEELF!!!!" Haha love it
I'm glad I'm not the only person who finds it amusing.
I want to punch someone in the face when I hear this!!👊👊👊
크리스코넬이 오디오슬레이브 시절에 얼마나 파워있게 살벌하게 자기보컬 영역을 만들어놨는지 알려주는 수십개 곡들 중 하나.chriscornell rockmaster.
Cutting me down, cutting me down? What? Is the poster deaf? Definitely a over looked classic. Baten Dee da da baten Dee da da.
I thing is just mambling at the end
We miss you, Chris Cornell
Then I came to realize, I had killed myself.
moment...........
He didn't shoot himself in real life. The song says he shot himself but in real life he hanged himself didn't he?
This song kicks ass!
"There was a daughter of a man who took his life too young, she swore she'd never do the same and did just what he done" Hopefully Chris Cornell's daughter doesn't dwell on these lyrics too much and take her own life as well ..
TheMojo487 she’s held on this long
"there was a daughter of a man who took his life too young, swore she'd never do the same and did just what he'd done"
hope thats not true...
Gonna miss Chris!!
One of his greatest
correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that "you're" was used a lot in place of "your" in the lyric video.
I leave you an instrumental track of Exploder, enjoy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qENuqdpp9WQ&t=51s
One of my favorites
open your mind before it gets late.
i get a sore throat just listening to this album
I'm only correcting because I know the proper lyrics. I have the album on cd, and the booklet contains the lyrics
Also doesn't say cutting me down
There was a daughter of a man who* took his life too young. She swore she'd never to the same* then did just what he'd done
He'll never feel the sun again* on his face.
chriss Cornell real deep
this song is so so crazy cutting me down cutting me down and he hung himself I wonder if this was a glimpse I pray for your soul
poetic as fuck.. rip
RIP Chris. Datun Duh Da Da.
I can't even believe he's gone. How very sad. The world has been robbed of his awesome voice. He will be missed. I loved him. I've only got audioslave, tool, RHCP and STP in my phone and I don't get into much cause nobody will measure up. So so sad. RIP Chris you're free now.
Ladonna Brock what about Pearl Jam? Eddie Vedders the last big huge grunge rock vocalist left. 😔
Some really haunting lyrics in this song now... it was always one of my favorites. RIP
Potent lyrics... Incredibly powerful shit. This song always grabbed me. Everything about it gave me chills... Even more so now after finding out Chris passed yesterday. RIP Legend.
"I realized I had killed myself."
Oh the irony. The sad sad irony.
Jason Lamb are you mocking him
That's not irony. It's exactly what he was foreshadowing.
We need a sad reaction
@Bj Webster Hopefully his daughter doesn't follow the line after that...
But he didn't shoot himself in the head
from a whisper to a roar....unpararelled!!! thank you Chris!!!!!!
One of the most underrated Audioslave songs ever.
I've listened to every Audioslave CD cover to cover countless times. Some of the best songs on this album were songs that most people who claim to be Audioslave fans have never even listened to, which is truly a shame.
silverado669 You're 15 years old.
And the all to common on every song on you tube underrated comment! Original! Whose ratings are you going by. I always gave it a high rating. Dumb ass
@Grant Squires so?
ur mom is underrated
RIP CHRIS CORNELL
Saw Chris Cornell live in Orlando Fl. Best acoustic show ever!!! Gone too soon.....RIP Chris cornell
RIP to an absolute legend
I would listen to this album everyday on the way to and from high school. His voice really put him in a league of his own. RIP Chris Cornell
RIP Chris
Chris Cornell ........... Rest in peace Legend.
RIP Chris Cornell
It's not cutting me down
So... I just found out about this song... I know, fuck me right?
Azul Lavoe no man. Better late than ever. Keep digging, there are incredible gems in this guys/band repertoire
Will do, especially since Chris Cornell just. He is one of my greatest inspirations. May God rest his soul.
dime que hay que vender y pienso algo mi amor, una linea, un minuto, le pongo musica, y de la parte de la imagen os encargais vosotros, y saluda a tus jefes, ya me teneis de becario todo el tiempo que haga falta, si les molo, me doy por amortizado jejeje...
This song is just so bloody good....
Chris Cornell is a fuckin beast. Amazing song
Fuck Drake we got Cornell
Well you see...
Dead Head 102 not anymore 😢but yes still fuck Drake.
I guess you could say thats funny because, if you remove Cornell from the equation you'd have nothing at all
Fuck. Not studio quality. Can hear it right away. Gross
that's a fuckin' fine song!
Is it just me or would the guitar riff during the verse be better if Morello used a Wah pedal?
NO fucking way he's speaking english, he's riffing
Dah un Duh Dah Dah
Dah un Duh Dah Dah
He is doing his best Steven Tyler skat lol
DeathInANoose i never realised there were words for that part until just now
Pipugwes Isaac nah it's not it's literally ba da da da bad da da da. I have the lyric booklet from the album
No Alice it is "dad is a farmer"
songs awesone
On top of that. My laptop hardly does the bass justice. The real album in a real stereo sounds so much better.
bark at the dog bark at the dog!
3:06 to 3:14 is my ringtone, 3:15 to 3:18 is my voicemail notification sound XD
damn, badass gotta try out the second one
WOW, THIS GUY IS RIDIC
this just hits me like a ton of bricks, best song on album.
Yeah, badass song!
M.L. Crow No shit, entire album was badass, Rip chris.
Terrific song. Love Audioslave.
Reminds me of Fight Club.
In fact, if the years matched up, I'd probably be offended if Fight Club wouldn't have this song in it. Or the credits, at least.
Good fight music.
Music/lyrics with meaning. Not much of it around anymore.
Elevenlive you're just not looking in the right places.
Check out Rare Americans "Fuck You World", "Cats, Dogs, and rats" and "Garbage Day", which is my personal favorite
story of my life
He's not saying cuttin me down, he's just scat singing
True story :3
+Mehdy Bueno He's saying, "Fuckin' your daughter."
The bass sounds like a irregular heart beat of awesomeness. lol
I miss this music. Music nowadays doesn't get my attention anymore.
Yeah man, getting older sucks.
Here in 2018 we have some rotting shit like Gucci Gang...
Love this song.
His voice in this song and Coshise had a Brian Johnson feel to it,..on steroids ..and god Cornell has the most sickest damn lyrics!
True story Drako....true story.
If Your head is high, you never fear at all!!!
McDonalds does not have curly fries. Cornell lied to us!
Dat beat :oooo
