Soundgarden - Black Saturday Lyrics






Promise something, kill me right away if I start to get slow
And don't remember how to separate the worm from the apple
Don't wait 'til tomorrow, kill me right away if I start to listen
To the voices telling all the mouths what they need to swallow

Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again

I was thirsty, I remember that you gave me some water
I was angry at everything at once you gave me no trouble
I was crying, I remember that you gave me your shoulder

Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again, born again

Do that for me, it's the least that you can do
Don't be afraid, I would do the same for you
Burn out any memory of me ever breathing
'Til I'm born again, born again, born again, born again

  2. E.... r....

    Totally awesome

  3. V.... ....

    Esta canción es tremenda, amazing!!!

  4. T.... C....

    Used to play this demo in the car so my baby would sleep. She's almost 8 now and has 2 little sisters. Time fucking flies. So many good memories while listening to sg, audioslave, totd, and his solo work. RIP cc.

  5. C.... V....

    I can’t hear Barresi’s dog howl in the song.

  6. J.... J....

    The watercolour starting at 1:09 is nice work. Most of them are excellent I hasten to add.

  7. O.... ....

    Come back.

  8. b.... ....

    2:06. So haunting.

  9. R.... ....

    Black Sabbath

    Brilliant!

    King Animal Track 9: Black Saturday

    The number 9, the color black, and the day 'Saturday' are all connected to Saturn worship.

    Then there's this: https://pin.it/e62nd7kuryad2m

    If you don't think that's weird, you probably won't think the following coincidences between Chris Cornell & Eddie Vedder are either:

    • Both born in 1964
    • Both of their parents' first names are 'Edward' and 'Karen'
    • Both of them adopted their mother's maiden name.
    PS:Eddie's biological father's name being SEVERSON isn't weird at all, considering the story (as recounted in the Pearl Jam song 'Alive') of his estrangement from his father shortly after his birth, subsequently being raised to believe his step-father was his real father, and only learning the truth after his real father had passed away...

    The rabbit hole goes a LOT further than this BTW.

  13. M.... P....

    Always pop into my mind what is this song about...Chris always had a dark power in his lyrics, but they really are quite liberating. Touching darkness spots, but the light always seems to balance that. Almost a year, yet a part of all us is still grieving

  14. o.... g....

    Mi grupo favorito.De entre 1000.😎

  15. g.... ....

    BORN AGAIN!

  16. E.... W....

    Damn....

    E.... W....

    Emily we in a group on face book. I know its been hard for you ... its not been easy also. Idk

  17. 0.... f....

    born
    again

  18. T.... ....

    goodbye Chris "burn out any memory of me ever breathing till I'm born again" we're waiting for you to be born again R.I.P.

  19. M.... C....

    2:06. the best part on the whole album. I feel like thats the climax of the album.

  20. R.... C....

    I don't think he was ever diagnosed with anything, but the theme of "being a burden" was always prevalent in his lyrics. I have had some days where I felt the same, but it passes. You must reach out when you feel this way. I am lucky to have a great support network and am able to identify the onset of these feelings. I never took it seriously until one whole week it nearly drove me past whatever happens after insomnia. Deep bouts of depression should be taken seriously. Thank you Chris for your lyrics that provide solace in times of despair. You will be deeply missed.

    R.... C....

    I still refuse to believe he killed himself.

    R.... C....

    Yes, it will always hurt.

    R.... C....

    and don't mess with drugs from doctors - exercise and amazing food - feed the brain

    R.... C....

    @Up From the Storm He didn't!

    R.... C....

    @Sam I am What makes you say that?

  21. A.... C....

    burn out any memory of me ever breathing

    RIP

  22. T.... ....

    For some reason this was the first song I thought of when I heard the sad news.

    RIP Chris.

    T.... ....

    TheHitherto me too, me too...

  23. A.... C....

    RIP to the greatest lyricist ever born.

  24. D.... ....

    RIP CHRIS CORNELL.

    This is so unfair....

  25. m.... ....

    Best part of the song IMO is the bridge, @2:07-2:34 - classic Soundgarden dark quirkyness. Wish the whole song had that vibe, instead, everything around the bridge just kinda pales in comparison for me.

    m.... ....

    i would argue that. the best part is the sour chorus with those chords paired with those lyrics.

  26. A.... ....

    The demo version had a different feeling to it. Especially at 2:52, there was a different bass riff, made it much more interesting. Try listening to the demo version.

    A.... ....

    True....demo is a tiny bit more "exotic", honest and unpolished

  27. n.... ....

    Great visuals to an awesome song!!

  28. 9.... ....

    Thanks Fine Potato .

  29. h.... ....

    IMHO one of the best songs they ever composed

  30. F.... P....

    Promise something 
    Kill me right away 
    If I start to get slow 
    And don't remember 
    How to separate 
    The worm from the apple 
    Don't wait til tomorrow 
    Kill me right away 
    If I start to listen 
    To the voices 
    Telling all the mouths 
    What they need to swallow 

    Do that for me 
    It's the least that you can do 
    Don't be afraid 
    I would do the same for you 
    Burn out any memory 
    Of me ever breathing 
    Until I'm born again 

    I was thirsty 
    I remember that 
    You gave me some water 
    I was angry 
    At everything at once 
    You gave me no trouble 
    I was crying 
    I remember that 
    You gave me your shoulder 

    Do that for me 
    It's the least that you can do 
    Don't be afraid 
    I would do the same for you 
    Burn out any memory 
    Of me ever breathing 
    Until I'm born again 

    Do that for me 
    It's the least that you can do 
    Don't be afraid 
    I would do the same for you 
    Burn out any memory 
    Of me ever breathing 
    Until I'm born again 
    Born again (x3)

    F.... P....

    How can anyone dislike this to the 4 who did you what fuck is wrong with you !!!!

    F.... P....

    it is like he was really talking from his heart.

  31. J.... J....

    easily the best song on the album

  32. J.... F....

    EPIC!!! POETIC!!! BRILLIANT BAND AND TOP FRONT MAN!!! :-)

  33. I.... S....

    Sounds good, pretty good actually

    I.... S....

    +IIvan Nuno I like all of their old stuff but King Animal I hate to say about half the album is great... I have been seeing some new stuff on here and it's like hit and miss , which all their old stuff was great even the least liked song was good, but their changing and getting old, so as long as they can get a song or two out that sounds kick ass I'll take it , and mostly of all they get into ROCK IN ROLL HALL OF FAME !!

    I.... S....

    +9rugbyroy King Animal is brilliant all the way through. It has been my favorite record of the last 10+ years. Amazing album.

  34. �.... ....

    What a song,,

  35. L.... S....

    Great track...

  36. L.... D....

    It has a poppy sound and a positive message.

    L.... D....

    Leland Dyer positive message? LOL this song is dark as hell

    L.... D....

    Ummm it's a great song, but positive message......nope haha

  37. S.... ....

    Wow. In the intro, Chris Cornell's voice sounds a little Stephen Stills used to in his prime.

    S.... ....

    Nice parallel. Love young Stills. And old Cornell.

  38. h.... ....

    The only one I didn't like so much was By Crooked Steps, but it's still decent. The rest are amazing.

  39. h.... ....

    My second favorite off the album.

  40. O.... B....

    rowing my friends rowing is the best new track i have spoken it is so

  41. g.... ....

    something about this song...hit a nerve and left me pretty disturbed. I now see and realize that the band has not lost their angst. It has merely evolved.

  42. d.... ....

    Best on the album, matches black hole sun and outshines imo

  43. A.... H....

    The art work in this video is beautiful, and it matches the message this great song delivers.

  44. D.... ....

    Kuddos.

  45. M.... P....

    Why isn't this available on mobile?

  46. w.... ....

    I fuckin love this track. Fuck that shit about ABBA. I'm just an asshole

  47. w.... ....

    Is this about the ABBA tribute band? (Bjorn again)?

    w.... ....

    Lmao Bjorn again

  48. B.... ....

    Bones of birds and Black saturday.....best album traks

  49. R.... ....

    a few months on & still loving the album but this song lyrically hits my cognital g spot!!! it depicts to me the need for each other & the very destinct rebirth/reinvention of ourselves we undertake each passing day, whilst the sometimes unexpectedly random support by others can really put an awesome spin on this existance!!!! =)

  50. c.... k....

    Burn out any memory of me ever breathing...till Im born again.

  51. M.... ....

    This song has a sexy groove bay bay!

  52. T.... E....

    I predict this will be one of the next singles.

  53. d.... ....

    Dave needs to make a video for this.

  54. T.... S....

    I don't know why but I get kind of a Spoonman feel to this song. But I love it <3

  55. R.... H....

    FUCKING UN-REAL

  56. M.... U....

    i love every song on this. but bones of birds is my favorite soundgarden song ever! along with jesus christ pose and rusty cage and bulldozer. lol. bones of birds blows my burnt mind.

  57. V.... C....

    I like this one a lot to...wish there was more of the part at 2:00 or so...awesome ambiance, classic Soundgarden space noise

  58. M.... A....

    Birds of Bones is a favorite of mine too, every time I listen to the album those three are musts

  59. j.... g....

    your caption is wrong LOL

  60. n.... ....

    2:06 - the most beautiful moment of your life begins...

  61. M.... U....

    im loving every song on KING ANIMAL. my first favorite was my crooked steps then halfway there- then bones of birds lol i love em all. now black saturday :)

  62. G.... ....

    I'll say it again. Good on you for enjoying it. I didn't.

  63. P.... ....

    Seriously? I really liked every song on this album after 3 or so listens.

  64. G.... ....

    There's been plenty to grow on me. Black Saturday and Rowing are the only two I've grown comfortable with. I really can't stand the rest of it, no matter how much I listen to it. Good on you for enjoying the rest, but I don't.

  65. G.... ....

    You got to let the other songs Grow on You. They did for me.

  66. M.... R....

    love it!!!!!!!!!!! check out my cover of this song on my channel!

  67. G.... ....

    This is the one song off their new album that I actually liked, and they are and always will be my favorite band. When I first listened to this album, I was not impressed by their return. I gave it another try a few weeks later though and ran across this song again. Because of this song, my faith in them has returned. They still have it in them after all.

  68. M.... ....

    I really like the new album, Soundgarden keeps evolving & surprising me. This is one of my favorites so far. I'd love to see them release some of the B-sides & unreleased songs from the past. Some of my favorites are: Heretic, Fresh Deadly Roses, Blind Dogs, Karaoke, & they did a great version of Dark Globe too. I know they talked about it for a while but maybe now that they're together again, if enough people mention it, maybe they'll finally do it.

  69. A.... T....

    This,Taree and Birds of Bones are my favorite songs off King Animal

  70. M.... A....

    I swear, this was the best song off the album o.O well okay I loved Taree as well, but this was great

  71. K.... M....

    Looks like you have awesome taste in music. Subscribed!

  72. m.... ....

    Beatiful paintings! Amazing song! Great video!! :-)

    m.... ....

    does anyone know who painted them?

  73. b.... ....

    One of my favs from the new album

  74. K.... ....

    much thanks, great song
