Soundgarden - I Awake Lyrics






Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not your fault
I know it hurts

Remember, I love you, love you
Remember, I love you, love you
I love

Woke up depressed
I left for work
You have a good day
It's not my fault
I know it hurts

    The lyrics of "I Awake" were originally part of a note written by Yamamoto's then girlfriend Kate McDonald. In the late 1990s, an urban legend circulated on internet message boards which stated that Yamamoto, after writing the music, wrote some lyrics on the back side of McDonald's note. When Yamamoto gave the paper containing these lyrics to Cornell, Cornell looked at the wrong side of the sheet and believed McDonald's note was the lyrics to Yamamoto's song.

    there are not enough updoots in the universe for this song and album

  19. T.... R....

    Wow, Chris really had an impressive range. The way he hits some of those super high notes!

  20. W.... ....

    it really fucking hurts..





    really bad.

    my REAL woman is magnificent.... 'YOU BLACK BASTASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!’

  23. M.... B....

    Sabbath meets Zep. ...\m/

  24. B.... L....

    That riff is badass

  25. K.... B....

    THIS SONG IS WAY BETTER THEN BLACK HOLE SUN

  26. r.... g....

    This is probably in their top 5 for heaviest

    r.... g....

    I think it's their heaviest. It's so dark and pummeling.

  27. T.... ....

    Twisted sludge metal. Kim Thayil's guitar just sounds hellish

    T.... ....

    That riff man yeah man it drives u into hell

    T.... ....

    IKR, Kim just had a thing for doomy and dark riffs. Love it.

  28. s.... 9....

    Matt Cameron's drumming is Scary on this!

    s.... 9....

    Very creepy song all together. And I fucking love the horror

  29. h.... m....

    I hear this song when i m angry

  30. M.... R....

    the beginning A long lost friend brought it by when it came out. Changed me

  31. J.... D....

    Soundgarden was better with Hiro...definitely...

    J.... D....

    I think Ben is better. I mean don't get me wrong Hiro was really good especially helping with songs (or creating ones like this) but still Ben has written some really good ones to

    J.... D....

    Cassady Schraub Yeah..but Hiro was a major founding member. When you were around during the time...it DEFINITELY matters.

    J.... D....

    He wrote this tune also...

    J.... D....

    Slow your roll Jeff ole buddy. Hiro was solid, but Ben has that attitude. Love both those guys.

  32. A.... R....

    This is a really fucking song , Learn with it Brazil please .

  33. s.... D....

    this song had always dug at me like a rat in a hot pot . placed on a prisoners stomach. it just gets to you.

  34. M.... R....

    This song is so full of rage and power.. love it!

  35. G.... M....

    Can we say this is an underrated álbum? no remaster, no reissue... no bonus tracks... no box set... Strange record, some flower blues metal power with some grunge underneath? Still heavy. Great band.

    G.... M....

    Definitely Underrated...I think Louder Than Love is right up there with albums like Badmotorfinger, Superunknown.....

  36. M.... S....

    I never sleep because I love my job. LOL

  37. L.... B....

    Oh shit i almost forgot about the song Little Joe!!!Donovan Davis.dude Nazi driver is a bad ass song..my personal favorite is incessant mace tho..but like i say that album is my favorite..but i love soundgarden always and forever!!!!

  38. L.... ....

    THE BEST!!!!

  39. H.... ....

    My favourite Soundgarden song. Nobody can sing like this anymore.

  40. Z.... L....

    JEEEEEEEEESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IS MY FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND

    Z.... L....

    Porca di quella troia della vergine Maria che lo piglia in culo dai cavalli Cristo redentore Delle mie palle San Pietro e San Paolo rotti in culo

    Z.... L....

    Porco dio

  41. j.... f....

    Woke up depressed

    It's not your fault
    I know it hurts

    R.I.P. Vocal Master

  45. U.... O....

    R.I.P Chris. My heart hurt when I heard the news today. Felt like a Tyson punch and I tried not to lose it when I was driving and Hurt by Nine Inch Nails came on the radio.

  46. A.... M....

    Say hello to heaven Chris. You will be missed. RIP. 😞

  47. N.... G....

    Wake up Chris, this isn't funny anymore!

  48. B.... G....

    I know it hurts. Thank you for the great music and great fucking memories. RIP.

  49. A.... ....

    RIP Chris, your fans love you too.

  50. B.... J....

    six people went to sleep

  51. J.... D....

    the end breaks my heart

  52. J.... A....

    Credits to Hiro Yammamoto, who wrote the lyrics of this song.

    J.... A....

    He wrote the song. Hiro's girlfriend wrote the lyrics. This is supposed to be love letter for him, not a song lyric.

  53. b.... ....

    Hiro Yamamoto wrote this song.

    b.... ....

    She was Hiro's girlfriend. The lyrics were taken from a note she left Hiro one morning

    b.... ....

    Ok, thanks for the info.

    b.... ....

    Hiro was one of the major reasons the band came together.

    b.... ....

    Hiro's contribution was so underrated. Kim brought the heavy, but Hiro brought the weird. Lotta people saying that Badmotorfinger is their heaviest or best or whatever. After Hiro left, my friends and I knew things were going to be different. I blame Chris' serial killer mustache.

    b.... ....

    @Dineen Serpa  I don't disagree with you at all. Kim is the heavy and Hiro was the weird but the reason Ben worked is because is weird and writes weird shit too. I still say that to this day Badmotorfinger is EASILY one of the top 3 heavy albums(actually just top 3 period) from top to bottom. I got into Soundgarden in 86 due to the fact I grew up in Fayetteville(Fort Bragg), NC so I benefit of that was I used to get hold of all kinds of bootlegs of bands most had never heard. Anyway my main point it is awesome to be discussing crazy music details of one of the greatest bands ever with another music nerd!!!

  54. M.... M....

    where is the fucking lyric? hijo de puta. y siii... soy mexicano puto y porfa pon la letra

  55. J.... D....

    This song breaks my heart

  56. J.... F....

    soooo heavy when it came out!

  57. N.... ....

    That shit is just so friggin badass. I get chills through the whole thing, specially at that intro scream... goddamn fuck, Chris isn't human

    N.... ....

    Incubus??!? FUCK YEAH HOMIE

    N.... ....

    *high five*

  58. f.... m....

    i love grunge

  59. k.... ....

    My favourite Soundgarden song. It's so different from anything else they've produced. Odd lyrics, odd song, but crazy wailing and some really interesting guitar stuff. Thumbs up.

    k.... ....

    Yeah, too bad they didn't keep it that way musically (I mean this is my favorite Soundgarden era...early Soundgarden, doomy and heavy)...just my personal opinion ofc....so nevermind.

  60. J.... W....

    This song is just badass & Soundgarden had that dark heavy vibe perfect on it

  61. b.... D....

    This song sounds so much like the Dazed And Confused cover by Led Zeppelin.

  62. G.... J....

    Wow, I hear so much Alice In Chains in this. I mean that in only the best possible way. Soundgarden and AIC are two of my favorite bands from this time

    G.... J....

    Until the record companies sold them as grunge.

    G.... J....

    @TheGreaterGood80 BAMMM!!!! Thank you for dropping the knowledge bomb I was about to unload. Well Done! The Melvins influence EVERYBODY. Buzz taught Kim from Soundgarden drop D tuning. And Kurt Cobain admitted when he started a band he wanted to be a combination of the Melvins and the Pixies.  I'm rambling but thanks for correcting this thread.

    G.... J....

    Jeff Ghendar This could be an AIC song for sure!

    G.... J....

    Jdry 1234 BLANKENSHIP yep, once nirvana hit, both bands who were marketed as metal previously, suddenly became “grunge.” That retroactive marketing has happened quite a bit. My favorite one is Pantera. Pantera, largely considered a thrash band (vulgar display of power forward) became known as “groove metal” retroactively.

    G.... J....

    Me too, they were the best Bands out of Seattle or anywhere in or around the world imo.

  63. C.... J....

    I wake up depressed and go to work. But I don't have anyone to say "Remember, I love you."

    It's not my fault and it hurts.

    C.... J....

    Remember, I love you.

    C.... J....

    He’s talking to you,remember

    C.... J....

    Love everyone in here, stay positive! Be good to each other.

    C.... J....

    @C.John Smith Remember, I love you Love you..Love you...

  64. M.... C....

    This was dedicated to Chris's friend Andrew Woods, Chris's roomate, and he was the vocalist for Mother Love Bone.

    M.... C....

    +Alex Murray actually it's a letter by Kate McDonald, Hiro's girlfriend, to Hiro. That's why she got lyrical credit for it. It's probably the only original song by SG that doesn't have a member as a credited writer of the lyrics.

    M.... C....

    @TheImmortalCheneys oh right

    M.... C....

    This record sold well. Until today, from time to time, mysterious checks of a hundred dollars arrive at Kate's mailbox.

    M.... C....

    Andre was also vocalist and bassist of the grunge band: Malfunkshun. I think Malfunkshun is and will be always better than Fucking Love bone.

    M.... C....

    Jefferson Araujo Good to know, but it’s been established already that Andrew Wood had nothing to do with this song’s writing.

  65. h.... ....

    True Nirvana fans love Bleach best. I think this is the album that true Soundgarden fans love best.

    h.... ....

    yup./ :)

    h.... ....

    I like in utero. Im such a poser and I deserve to die

    h.... ....

    I see you all over youtube man, you got great taste!

    h.... ....

    Idk man,I’ve been a huge SG fan from Screaming Life/Fopp to King Animal and IMO their greatest was Down On The Upside since I feel each album of their original run got better everytime

  66. R.... S....

    One of their heaviest songs

  67. S.... D....

    Soundgarden chills me to the bone...25 years and it never bores me!!!  All time favorit! 

  68. m.... m....

    How does this song only have 678 views? My friend, back when I was maybe 13yrs old (31 now) bought me the Loud Love VHS as a present after he visited his family in the states. Since that day I listened to this song for the first time that guitar riff still gives me chills.

    m.... m....

    blame pop my friend.

  69. T.... ....

    It's not your fault.  I know it hurts.
