Jerry Cantrell - Siddhartha Lyrics

Very underrated track! I was struck with it for days and months when heard for the first time back in '05.

Discovering all of this music he made before resuming with Alice in Chains makes me, in hindsight, more so disappointed with the relatively bland structure and sound of the songs on the three recent albums from Alice in Chains.

I've had Degradation Trip since it came out & never heard this or new there's a volume 2.

That guitar tone though....

Love this song

What inspires Jerry to write such lyrics.. I just like how his mind comes into the center of his own universe to unlock the code and be wide open with his mind and spirit. Luv me some Jerry!! 🤘💋💞💞💞

Cantrell's (and AIC') music is just timeless (a pure trademark)....still sounds so modern, fresh.

Frogs anyone ;) sweet sounding tune reminds me a lot of That one from AIC

Rolling over keys that dig in my side 
Try to get my ass out of bed and drive 
Feel I'm slipping day by day 
Past the time I was on my way

Happiness and black both know, much learned 
Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns

Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold 
Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low

Sentence served, you're free to be 
Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides 
A brand new day, I'm looking for a change to come around. 
Siddgartha on my mind

Beggar pick up your crown

Seeking all the things untried 
Disarray, this thing called life

Happiness and black both know, much learned 
Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns

Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold 
Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low

Sentence served, you're free to be 
Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides 
A brand new day, I'm looking for a change to come around. 
Siddgartha on my mind

Beggar pick up your crown

Mind Blowing....

Heard this cd back in 05', my friend let me borrow it, the only thing he said was if I got in a car crash he would dig through the rubble to recover this album lmao, still my fav album to this day.

Jerry Cantrell is maybe the best rock musician of all time

Every single album he has made is amazing. He is a genius.

Yuri fuck ya man my absolute favorite 🤘

Without a doubt one of the best songwriters of all time, dude is a legend and a fuckin genius

hes so creative.

jerry thank you for all of this!

Such a talented guy,Mr. Cantrell you are awesome 😎

Mr Cantrell to you

"Siddhartha"

Rolling over keys that dig my side
Try to get my ass out of bed and drive
Feel I'm slipping day by day
Past the time I was on my way

Happiness and black both known, much learned
Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns

Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold
Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low

Sentence served, you're free to be
Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides
A brand new day, I'm looking for a change to come around
Siddhartha on my mind

Beggar pick up your crown

Seeking all the things untried
Disarray, this thing called life

Happiness and black both known, much learned
Long and hard the way a path of twisted turns

Disciple sift through lies, few grains of truth behold
Explorer specter rise, the dream that brought you low

Sentence served, you're free to be
Siddhartha, like him he lived both sides
Another day, I'm looking for a change to come around
Siddhartha on my mind

Beggar pick up your crown

true talent !! 🤘

brand new day i'm looking for a change to come around Siddhartha on my mind

jerry is the best

OVER NOW.......

what is best in men.

the best song of jerry cantrell solo carrer

ahhh, c'mon man, Jerry wrote plenty of incredible songs, it's impossible to pick just one and pretend to be his best.

M.L. Crow Just my opinion, but i'm still love several other songs of him

No problem, I respect your opinion.

a Huge Song by Cantrell

this guy is a superstar

he plays & sings you dont see that shit every day

Well, he is more an anti superstar or anti rock star (attitude), such a down to earth person----and yeah, he is a very talented musician, an awesome lyricist too.

Sell your soul, be a superstar 🥀

Jerry's music just takes me away... God I love this man ❤

great song!!

listening to this one right now. what a great cover it would be to do

One of their smaller hits

My favorite jc song

Siddartha guitar effects dope!

s#ven was here Blart

Jerry Cantrell is brilliant!

1:22 this part is so Alice in Chains. Love it!

I remember watching MTV Cribs a few years back and hearing Jerry refer to the cat as "Lains Cat" like he was still there, very classy Jerry. :)

This is an amazing song, I've been listening to it for the past three months and everytime I listen to it, it brings me down to a clamer level. Beutiful song.

Wasn't sure why this double was over looked on the rock main stream level... Fuck it, Jerry, your brilliant. Please keep on doing your thing.

He still is,saw him with AIC last Saturday,blew the roof off.

Way too dark for most people tbh

This is an awesome song, and one of my favorites from this double album. It's a damn shame Jerry doesn't play his solo stuff with AIC, anymore. I'd love to hear some of this stuff live.

@KurtCobain11508 what do you want a goddamn cookie?

push'in 40 years. how the fuck did that happen? a toad a begger or a prince? if this song makes you misty eyed , pick up your crown.

This masterpiece and other's from Degradation Trip don't get much exposure for some reason...

@KurtCobain11508 but defenetly not the last!
