Soundgarden - A Thousand Days Before Lyrics






Life a thousand days ago
Hours sinking in a hole
Try to melt into the walls
Now I am here inside the bowl

Here in the cold
Where no one stands behind me

Now a thousand days have gone again
Like the sun and moon at war
And give or take a thousand more

Here in the cold
Where no one stands behind me
I'll be on my own side
You know where to find me
You know where to find me

Here in the cold
Where no one stands beside me
I'll be on my own side
You know where to find me
You know where to find me

Born with a thousand little holes
And a tear to fill up every one
A thousand to ignore
I'll be on my own side
I'll be on my own side

    Bridge and outro which start from 3:03 probably are one of the most goose-bumping sonic moments for the entire 2010's decade in rock!

  4. j.... f....

    16 years between albums. I loved King Animal.

  5. t.... c....

    Lyrics

    Life, 
    A thousand days ago
    Hours, 
    Sinking in a hole
    Try, 
    To melt into the walls
    Now, 
    I am here inside the bowl

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stands 
    Behind me

    Now, 
    A thousand days have gone
    Again, 
    Like the sun and moon at war
    And, 
    Give or take a thousand more

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stayed 
    Behind me
    I’ll be on my own side
    You know where to find me
    You know where to find me

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stayed 
    Beside me
    I’ll be on my own side
    You know where to find me
    You know where to find me

    Born with a 
    Thousand nail holes
    And a tear to 
    Fill up every one
    A thousand to ignore
    Hey
    I’ll be on my own side...
    I’ll be on my own side...
    I’ll be on my own side!
    Hey!

  15. G.... M....

    Quem é brasileiro sabe que essa música é um baião psicodélico... e dos bons!

  16. M.... D....

    Just listen to this great song over n over again for almost an hour. Bye Chris.

    "A Thousand Days Before"

    Life a thousand days ago
    Hours sinking in a hole
    Try to melt into the walls
    Now I am here inside the bowl

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stands behind me

    Now a thousand days have gone again
    Like the sun and moon at war
    And give or take a thousand more

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stands behind me
    I'll be on my own side
    You know where to find me
    You know where to find me

    Here in the cold
    Where no one stands beside me
    I'll be on my own side
    You know where to find me
    You know where to find me

    Born with a thousand little holes
    And a tear to fill up every one
    A thousand to ignore
    I'll be on my own side
    I'll be on my own side

  18. G.... C....

    Su voz no era de este mundo,como la sostiene ,su registro es propiamente de otra galaxia, gracias por hacer que cada día pueda ser feliz Chiris.

  19. M.... T....

    This is one of my favorites from them. This album as a whole is fantastic Imo.

  20. p.... ....

    sounds like https://youtu.be/iudtv6ZhYBU?t=482

  21. M.... P....

    Love the overtones of Kims heritage! Worked well!

  22. M.... P....

    Chris's voice ALWAYS gives me the damn Chills when he lets his pipes loose...RIP brother, you will live on..

  23. M.... R....

    i have suicidial tendiencies while listening to this track in my car and driving as fast as possible and feeling absolutely free of any matter

  24. M.... P....

    Best song since A Thousand Years Wide....(being funny)...

  25. A.... M....

    Fantastic song, one of my favorite....... Chris, .......why?.....

    A.... M....

    So agree on both counts. I still ask myself that very question. A man truly in darkness but a beautiful soul who left a lot of light behind him.

  26. R.... S....

    i thought this was one of the best songs on the album

  27. R.... M....

    There is Nickelback in the recommended

    R.... M....

    Yep. All the proof you need that some people just don't get it.

    R.... M....

    That's just you.

  28. E.... ....

    Even after a 20 year hiatus, when they came back, they were still one of the best bands out there. Fuck...RIP Chris AKA GOD

  29. A.... T....

    This entire record is fantastic from start to finish. No surprise. Best band of my generation.

    A.... T....

    Andy Trullinger best band of your generation is NIRVANA. Of all, time, probably. But Soundgarden and Stone Temple Pilots are two other greatest bands of that time, it's true. Pearl Jam is such a crap/

    A.... T....

    Саша Тришкин haha Soundgarden started grunge they started in 84 nirvana is overrated...Cornell was Alan a better singer than Cobain and Dave grohl combined

    A.... T....

    Саша Тришкин and led Zeppelin is the greatest band ever even Chris cornell said it

    A.... T....

    sean Costello The word "grunge" didn't exist in 1984 and it was just "marketing". Imagine if the word grunge had never existed. Do you can really put (for example) Soundgarden and Pearl Jam in the same (sub)genre? I can't.

  30. j.... e....

    Great song I love the transgressions with the notes and the chords plus the drums and bass are perfectly played ... Great......

  31. j.... e....

    Great song I love the transgressions with the notes and the chords plus the drums and bass are perfectly played ... Great......

  32. J.... H....

    Sound Garden Fairie. Hey, why did you gibbons break up in 1997? Little fairies ask questions sometimes.

  33. B.... H....

    This song slays me -- the lyrics and music are perfectly matched. Takes my mind to a place that's hard to describe.

    B.... H....

    Same here. One of their best performances especially from Chris. Has all the classic elements they're known for like odd time signatures and non-garden variety chords at times which I think made them stand out from the pack in the 90's. Excellent musicians indeed.

  34. E.... D....

    incredible song

  35. D.... 4....

    RIP CHRIS =(

  36. J.... F....

    RIP Brother

  37. e.... ....

    I'd comment on how great they still are but given the devastating news I'm afraid I "Fell On Black Days"

  38. M.... R....

    R.I.P CHRIS!!!

  39. M.... ....

    Forever in our hearts ...
    R.I.P. Chris Cornell

    M.... ....

    RIP indeed =/

    M.... ....

    Yes, I just agree with you, forever in our hearts, Chris Cornell Forever, just will never die for us, the fans.

    M.... ....

    Their sound was so wonderful. Not just Chris's soaring vocals, but the edge and loudness. They knew music.. soft. Loud . Booming .

  40. V.... K....

    This song kicks ass. Amazing writing and melody.

  41. R.... p....

    man!!!!! soundgarden is magic

  42. E.... S....

    Porra, é um baião msm??? Que merda ein.

    E.... S....

    Emmanuel Sousa Essa música é uma ótima fusão de gêneros musicais, adorei a influência cultural brasileira presente aqui, isso é meio raro de se ver

    E.... S....

    Por que merda?

  43. s.... j....

    SOUNDGARDEN KING ANIMAL SOUNDS SO SPIRITUAL

  44. P.... W....

    New favorite song.

  45. L.... A....

    I love this song :)

  46. E.... ....

    I don't usually listen to Soundgarden, but this song is amazing

  47. S.... T....

    Why are there two versions of this song? At 3:07 there is a difference between this version and the one on Spotify.

    S.... T....

    it skipped...

  48. M.... S....

    Not their best album but this is an absolutely beautiful track. Love the Indian influence.

    M.... S....

    In the deluxe version of the album, Kim himself says he thinks of it as an Eastern sound. Either way, I love that guitar riff in the chorus.

    M.... S....

    Do you always want an album to be better than the one before? Sry, but i don't think thats possible :P

    M.... S....

    I recall drummer Matt stating it were their best record. But let’s be honest, groundbreaking Badmotorfinger couldn’t possibly be topped.

    M.... S....

    @all the same! iProductions got got that right bro. They said superunknown was their breakthrough album badmotorfinger was the s*** change my life

    M.... S....

    beggersbanquet 5150 actually I like DOTU the most.

  49. T.... V....

    Skips ahead somewhere around 3:07 or so...I don't understand why do that. But still, this is an awesome song.

  50. M.... S....

    Saw them last night in Atlanta, they played this song, it was awesome.

    M.... S....

    Love this album..

  51. K.... S....

    I am staying by myself and If I stay alone by myself I will be happy to walk my road alone. Been married 25 years. I like being by myself. Yea, with Jesus above me.

  52. B.... W....

    I own this album (King Animal) and it is VERY good :). This is my favourite track.
