Soundgarden - An Unkind Lyrics

One of the most underrated songs ever!!

It took me 20 years to realize that at 1:01, beneath the guitar riffs, it's a mandolin playing those notes right before the chorus. I thought it was just a sound effect they dubbed in during the mixing process. I'm dumb.

Love is Patient, Love is Kind, Let me Drown? An Unkind.

The tension that carries into the first two choruses, the way it holds for an extra measure... That's just too much. My chest wants to explode

Lyrics

We see the vipers of distance
Crawl into our lives everyday
Breeding our Edens of hatred
Pathetically stupid and unkind

We could look a saint in the eyes
We could look a saint in the eyes

On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go

Marching in lines of contradiction
Forgetting the history we make
Loving our hangmen
As the penultimate joke
We lack the Moses
To look
A saint in the eyes

On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go

On the storm
It's time to go
On the storm
It's time to go

Short but sweet.

Written by their bass player

The poor fellow is not very good with words, huh?

Love the speed of this song. The drummer and guitarist musta been rung out after playing this. Woulda been wrecked trying to dance to it. Cool stuff.

Who lacks the Moses?

I love this record musically but I dont like the mix, it sounds so bassy and muted, specially the voice

"i'm the soul that's dying to grow"

Now I get where Deftones came from..

Im very lost with this comment....

Chris, if your soul feels and hears me. I'm still here mourning over you. Soundgarden was one of the best bands in the world! Too bad that your career was cut off too short and I just wish that I would have een there to prevent Chris' suicide. I've been a loyal fan of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell since 1989.Rest in Peace and I love you!!

WOW! Great album as well!

That song is so fuckin' beautiful, man...the riff, the chorus, everything.

"On the storm, it's time to go..."

Chris, you'll be forever missed! R.I.P !

dat chorus...

rest up Chris thanks for all this great music. you will live on through your work.

On The Storm And you Go, Chris. RIP.

get ready for this to get a millions view now.... rip Chris! you will be missed! on the storm of phony Soundgarden fans

atoneofnothing123 It doesn't matter whether or not they knew about him before or after his death, the important thing is that we enjoy his music.

First song that came into my mind when I heard he had died. Must be that chorus. RIP Chris.

rest in power

HELL YEAH !!!

awesome song

they decided it was time to go after this album

''Ooooooooonnnnnn the stoooorm, it's tiiiiiiiiiime to gooOOO

on the storm, it's time to go

the perfect made song

The catchiest chorus ever. 

Waiting for the new cd. Liked Live to rise. So far so good.

Me 2,all the songs are so great,Rinosaur is my favorite track,and Never Named,Applebite,and this one

great album, gay cover!

Uh,ha ha? Wasn't a literal idea, plus don't have a penis on me....don't think I would be talking that way about a guy if I was one.....unless I was gay...oh um ya now that makes sense.

Well, you can put your penis inside his throat, but then it will be difficult for him to sing at the same time.

One of my fav soundgarden songs, I dunno why people think its their worst

It is a Ben Shepherd song. Both the lyrics and the music.

nice try. copycat

PARKOUR = GRUNGE MUSIC

Can someone make love to a voice? cause thats what I want to do with Chris Cornells voice!!

@willzer808 hahaha now I'm gonna listen to this another 6 times!

@jfoley715 My mind was a-rush with kinetics, moments later i saw your comment - fucking right on brother.. you are right on

looked at that still image for a while, and realized.. Its a damn good still image

Makes me want to parkour!

"...On The STORM it's Time to goooh!!" effing brillant

I damn well fucking love this track

@wolf4241991 Agreed, Dirt is the best album ever. However, from Soundgarden i prefer Down on the Upside.

@ma369rtin Im sorry, but i would have to go with Dirt from AIC as the best from the 90's. im just saying badmotterfinger is my favorite from soundgarden.

@ma369rtin Thats cool that you think that. most people call this they're worst, which is a shame. I personally like Badmotorfinger the most, but upside is great too.

Great great album, not their best IMHO (Superunknown was groundbreaking) but so fuckin' close.

This is like Soundgarden meets the beach boys. The beginning with the fast guitar, it sounds like surfing music haha.

Forgot I had this album, put in my truck on the way to work 4 days ago, and I still haven't taken it out.

loving ouurrrr haaangmen as the penultimate joke we lack the moses...to look the saints in the eyes

best soungarden album, i agree , and very underrrated !

i love thiss...my first rock cd..

Love this album.
