Soundgarden - Halfway There Lyrics
I woke up with my feet nailed down
And my head moving the speed of sound
Had a dream I was caught in a maze
And I couldn't find my way back out
Some were born to move mountains around
I get an itch and when I am scratching
Everything can go to hell
And how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what our dreams have become?
Sometimes when you're shooting an arrow
I would go all the way to the sun
If I didn't have to come back down
And how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won
Is that what our dreams have become?
Have you got a car?
Somewhere to sleep?
Someone who loves you?
Something to eat?
I would say you're doing better than most
Though maybe not as well as some
And how far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what our dreams have become?
Is that what our dreams have become?

Rest in peace Chris Cornell
King Animal and AICs Black Gives Way To Blue were such killer comeback albums. That's how you do a comeback! RIP Cornell. Saw him live twice and that voice was there never wavering all show. Really something to witness. Beautiful voice
This is so original. I love it!
Praying for my father. Moving with conviction.

Chris..you will never know how much your creativity is missed..
This song and music video is so 1999/2000. Had the band stayed together this is what we would've had back then as a follow up to Down On The Upside. Guess they didn't miss a beat...
Before Interstellar.
I'd never been effected by any public persona's passing before, but after Bowie, and then Chris dying, whenever I hear certain songs of theirs, it makes me break down and cry, and plead with them to come back, by any means possible, just get back here....the joke's not funny anymore....just come back.....
I miss you .Loud love .
Like every single album from them EXCEPT this one. I hope I'm not going crazy!
Am I the only one who thinks that the video is been affected by stanley Kubrick's works so much?
2019 anyone?
This video in the 90's on MTV would have been number 1 for weeks. Great song, amazing band, R.I.P. Chris.
Like a stone...
I love this song, it's amazing, is one of my favorities
Pretty damn lovely
Lyrics
I woke up with
My feet nailed down
And my head moving
The speed of sound
Had a dream I was
Caught in a maze
And I couldn't find
My way back out
Some were born to
Move mountains around
And some to rot away in jail
I get an itch and
When I am scratching
Everything can go to hell
And how far is
Halfway there?
I didn't see you
On the trail
Did almost become
Good enough?
Should a good life
Be so hard won?
Is that what our
Dreams have become?
Sometimes when you're
Shooting an arrow
It can fly across
The sky so proud
I would go all
The way to the sun
If I didn't have to
Come back down
And how far is
Halfway there?
I didn't see you
On the trail
Did almost become
Good enough?
Should a good life
Be so hard won?
Is that what our
Dreams have become?
[Guitar Solo]
Have you got a car?
Somewhere to sleep?
Someone who loves you?
Something to eat?
I would say you're
Doing better than most
Though maybe not
As well as some
And how far is
Halfway there?
I didn't see you
On the trail
Did almost become
Good enough?
Should a good life
Be so hard won?
Is that what our
Dreams have become?
This is phenomenal. King Animal was a great album from beginning to end! Gems are By Crooked Steps, Taree, Bones Of Birds, Blood On The Valley Floor & Halfway There. Killer album! They got better as a band the more albums they dropped! R.I.P. Chris Cornell...
🌿 Super Hero 💗
👍Still 👦SG 👽
I am listening this song again and again and again, and satiation is not here...
Another soundgarden gem. Rip chris
i miss piloting my astra ...
Some people didin't like this song when the album dropped, as it sounds maybe a little like a Cornell solo track, but man some chords are really a bitch to play! I mean some are harder than the chords in "Preaching The End Of The World', and that's a song with over 20 chords lol.
Great song.
Miss you man.
Galletozo 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Soundgarden ❤
wow 1.2 mill
Yup, this sounds very soundgarden to my ears...
1990s Seattle grunge music is better than 2000s southern California skate punk scene
Miss you Chris Cornell, Soundgarden lives on...
Superunknown is still their signature release. It's the perfect Soundgarden album and nothing came close before or after which is understandable since it is next to impossible to follow up let alone supercede perfection.
R.I.P Chris.
Open your eyes folks
the best singer of every genre. hands down nothing left to say
still miss you chris,..see you in the superunknown.
The Earth is flat.
Soundgarden for life
Haven't even heard the song yet. RIP Chris. Another one of my Gen X muso heroes gone. Thanks for being here, and leaving us with what you did. See you in the afterlife mate; and you can teach me how to sing. Love Brother ... xx
Simply beautiful... Chris still had so much to give to the world, and maybe he didin´t know !! It will be deeply missed
How did I miss this song.
It’s not a question either.
Great lyrics from chris !! and amazins song as usual from this band
How far.........epic ....
Epic song
dude.... he left his friends to be in the sun... to pay the ultimate price... keep listening and keep him alive... make sure his price was worth it!
Chris Cornell's voice = classy rock
Crazy I'm 22 and this song speaks volumes about my struggle. Especially " have you got a car? And somewhere to sleep? Someone who loves you? Something to eat? I would say you're doing better than most. Though maybe not as good as some
O well!
The best Voice
Beautiful! Completely love Matt Cameron on drums, he suits Soundgarden so much...
How far is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
Did almost become good enough?
Should a good life be so hard won?
Is that what are dreams have become?
if someday is going to be a 2001: A Space Odyssey remake, I hope it looks like this.
Anyone here actually watching this? Like, currently? Not one or two years ago?
Cada día más te Amo,SOS la perfección por completo.
RIP Mikey- you were MY Chris Cornell
Miss you Chris you awoke me to life
That unique blend of fragility and power that is Mr Chris Cornell! BRAVO
You are 'there' Chris, see you... 'there', where our dreams can become.
"Should a good life be so hard won? is that what our dreams have become?" hit me right on the nutsack
RiP chris...u voice still alive forever
Maybe this song...Said that Chris is live in MARTE o MOON as slave mining or experiments...not suicide not not!!!
One of my favorite songs and music videos.. RIP
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Worst song on the album. Sadly, the most radio friendly. Chris knew...this one was for the idiots, and it was a vessel to get the rest of the album out there to the rest of us.
Nonsense. There are plenty of bands out there who throw commercial singles onto an album just to maximise sales, anyone with any experience of Soundgarden will know they've never played that game. Chris' solo music in recent years had been much more like Halfway There than Soundgarden's heavy stuff, it's more likely this was one of his works which morphed into a band song.
Gracias por tu música Chris, eres la inspiracion de muchos, descansa en paz y sigue componiendo en la eternidad...
RIP C.C one of my favourite rock singer
Minha preferida do retorno deles.
Beatles now
Aún recuerdo cuando ví por primera vez este video tenía 400 reproducciones en 2013 estaba en la escuela ahora el ya no está con nosotros hasta pronto Chris Cornell
I cried when I first heard this two weeks ago.
Always loved what Chris put his vocals/talent to, can't believe I wasn't paying attention back in 2013.
This song is beautiful through and through.
Such a great song. love it!
amazing video
sh2h brother
God bless Chris
and you too!
long live
knights of the
soundtable!
There's something really weird with Soundgarden's songs. From Black Hole Sun to this one, each time i was like "oh well another soundgarden song" and tried to go back to work, but i simply couldn't. Because there are such strange chord combinations, such great melodies and rhythms from the beginning to the end of each song, it makes me wanna stop everything and just L I S T E N. Their songs make me feel good and i can't really explain why, i guess that's simply what happens when you listen to very talented people.
And dont forget cryptic lyrics that can have you pondering for years...
I feel the same way! It makes me feel....weird. But its so amazing! I just sit for a damn long time just Listening and not wanting to think about anything else. It feels as if I heard the songs before, in a past life or something and im listening again in this life. I dont know how to explain it. It is just amazing music that makes you feel amazing.
You just explained how I feel perfectly! I’ve been trying forever to combine these words you just typed in a sentence. Thank you for that!
You are so right. its so weird, but good. Thats how I feel about crooked steps - its so strange, but it works!
For some reason this is my favorite track off King Animal although you can't pick just one with Soundgarden.
Dammit this song makes me so sad. It was the last Soundgarden song I heard before Chris's passing. With it already sounding peacefully mellow, it will never phase me the way it used to. Brings me to tears every time. He guided me through every step of life ever since I could remember, a true human. Chris, I love you so much and miss you man. Never even met you and you were like a brother to me. Rest well, friend
Soundgarden meets Coldplay? Not for me.
R.I.P. Chris. The world is a sadder place without you.
I loved king animal and waited for a follow up. What a shame for Chris. RIP
Classic Cornell.. RIP
Should a good life be so hard won? Is that what our dreams have become?
Mas que música fantástica! Diz muito da minha vida ou da vida de qualquer um que olha para trás e vê de longe o caminho que percorreu e o quanto ainda virá e o que fez de sua vida e o que sonhava fazer. Nossa, é uma reflexão muito profunda, é um talento extraordinário pôr tudo isso numa música que é excelente. Chris Cornell, fique com Deus amigo e até qualquer dia!
such a fantastic track! its so so sad..R.I.P. Chris!
mis respetos a este pedazo de musico,, Q.e.p,d
I love you Chris
*Good luck out there Chris*
I have never felt so affected by a celebrity's passing before. This song has always been special to me, but it brings a tear to my eye now that Chris is gone. We lost rock and rolls greatest singer on that fateful night. May Chris, his soul, his friends, and his family be at peace.
Jake Lodico same here only cobain when I was 15 but even this is different because he seemed like he had it all together had a will to live
He's not a celebrity. Chris Cornell is a Musician.
Been crying on and off ever since ... RIP good soul. Only the good die young ....
R.I.P. Friend
Now this song fills me with anguish, sadness and melancholy... Say Hello 2 Heaven Chris...
i love you Chris, i wish i could see you again
Chris Cornell was an amazing person, let's hope he finds the peace he longed for. Much love to him!!!!!
Cuando muere la escencia de tu banda favorita, muere en alguna forma parte de ti. Y eso que ya no soy el niño de 18...... como te quise Soundgarden.
RIP in the superunkown legend. I hope there are many more like you. I am however doubtful :(
RIP Chris. I am still listening this till today. You bright up my life with your positive words in Sydney 2015. Thank you X
So sad, miss you Cris
and now he's halfway to heaven
Rest in Peace Chris, see you on the other side <3
To the greatest singer of my generation RIP Chris Cornell. You will be immensely missed.
Oh no Chris. RIP
How long it's the halfway there? not too long :(
R.I.P Chris Cornell
