Soundgarden - Room A Thousand Years Wide Lyrics






Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
He walks in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow

Soundgarden Room A Thousand Years Wide Comments
  1. D.... T....

    My favorite. They ended their set with this at Lollapalooza. They put their guitars down as they resonated feedback from their amps until the guitar techs silenced them. I stood with my jaw in the ground with goosebumps. Forever burned in my memory. RIP Chris. Thank you

  2. M.... M....

    That saxophone reminded me of some Mad Season song

  3. C.... G....

    Is it me, or does Thayil’s guitar at the end sound like some solid jazz sax or trumpet playing that would fit in well with Mingus’ band?

  4. b.... ....

    Saxophone? Wow.

  5. S.... S....

    I love the Saxo

  6. M.... B....

    Big bang?

  7. J.... B....

    Louder than fuck!

  8. A.... N....

    123t IUP X 2 + FLEUR AS GOD OF SEX

  9. L.... M....

    This was THE Soundgarden song for me in ways I couldn't even fathom. And now in his passing, Chris's vocals in this song hurt my heart forevermore. Love and light Chris, you are so missed.

  10. M.... B....

    Monday! Mjb.

    Lyrics

    Listen here
    He is inside
    One who lives
    While others lie
    I close my eyes and
    Walk a thousand years
    A thousand years
    That aren't mine
    Hey

    It seems he's near
    Me as I walk
    One who loved
    What love denied
    He lives these years
    That I walk blind
    All these years
    Cannot be mine

    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow

    A thousand doors
    A thousand lies
    Rooms a thousand years wide
    I walk in the cold
    Sun and wind
    All these years
    Will not begin

    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow

    Tomorrow
    Yeah
    Hey
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Tomorrow
    Begat
    Tomorrow

    Lyrics: Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron

  12. M.... H....

    This whole album is the perfect companion for working a sleep deprived 3rd shift shitty job. Like I did back in the 90s.

  13. T.... ....

    The power of the motherfucking riff compels me!!!

  14. D.... Y....

    Most powerful voice in R&R 🤘💔

  15. K.... J....

    2:42 that funking scream

  16. d.... ....

    Nearly 30 years old now.
    Still a magic album.

  17. E.... R....

    I miss Chris Cornell, and this song is about the thousand years beyond his death

  18. b.... 5....

    That voice was epic ..we were robbed!!!!!!😰😰😰😰😰

  19. S.... B....

    Beautiful vocals

  20. T.... ....

    I love this song!!! I didn't hear it until after Chris left us. This man is the definition of primal scream to me!!!!!

  21. J.... F....

    Probablemente la canción que más tristeza, rabia, alegría, odio, paranoia y tranquilidad me transmite de todas las canciones Grunge que haya escuchado en mi vida. Es increíble cómo una sola canción puede llenarte de tantos sentimientos encontrados. Una tremenda obra maestra. Gracias Chris. Gracias por tu poderoso legado.

  22. J.... C....

    RIP Chris

  23. C.... B....

    You'd be hard pressed to find a better screamer-singer in all of rock...

  24. #.... ....

  33. C.... S....

    Broke my damn hand on replay button.

  34. D.... D....

    Fuck this whole "grunge" shit Soundgarden and especially Badmotorfinger was Sabbathian worship brilliance.

  35. d.... ....

    0:55 scream sick!

  36. J.... D....

    Cochise.

  37. A.... T....

    All time favourite garden track! ... still has that sonic boot to the face ! 👊❌

  38. M.... H....

    F F F F FOOLIN
    AHHH F F F FOOLIN

  39. R.... B....

    NOW IN EVERY CONCERT ALL PEOPLE WITH CELLULAR OR I-PAD: SHITIME!!!!

  40. J.... S....

    FUCKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!

  41. A.... E....

    I was an 18 y.o. metal kid in 1991 when I bought this record. This was my favorite song, I would put on my headphones and play it endlessly.
    Released in 1991, Badmotorfinger IS the most metal record to come out of the seattle "grunge" movement. I dislike the term grunge. This is Darker, heavier, harder and more metal than AIC's Facelift.

    A.... E....

    SG and AIC were not grunge

  42. B.... C....

    When he sing "I closed my eyes for a thousand years, a thousand years that weren't mine" reminds me of when PsychedSubstance took too much DMT and said he lived a thousand lives. Then I saw OPs name. Awesome!

  43. i.... ....

    A definite highlight on his album. I’ve always loved that discordant guitar in this, it adds an air of unease to the song. And the lyrics are amazing.

    i.... ....

    ...brilliant!

  44. R.... B....

    I love the saxophone in the outro

  45. f.... ....

    The one thing I just noticed, listening back, is that this might be one of the few songs off that era where a saxophone doesn't sound like a "period-correct addition", which I can't say for other songs off this period that included saxophone in them (at least, I think it's a saxophone, anyway...). Great song, awesome album. Rest in peace, Chris Cornell.

    f.... ....

    Skin Yard - The Birds 1986
    Has saxophone.

  46. M.... B....

    This is M E T A L!!!!!

    M.... B....

    no, it had some of that but was something uniquely different. give thanks for this. not everything needs to fall within neat and immediately definable.

  47. C.... B....

    Best album of it's time by FAR!.So thick and crunchy. And with great music and lyrics. Oh and the best voice EVER! Each and every song.

  48. R.... ....

    ...kicking ass!!

  49. T.... H....

    Loved you then, still love you now. You will always be in my heart.

  50. O.... Z....

    Esto es musica de otra galaxia... gracias por haber llegado a esta tierra crhis con tus grandes temas y grandes músicos. Espero verte pronto estes donde estes

  51. M.... M....

    So happy to see this song live.. ate an 8th of shrooms, 8 out of the 13 songs or so they played were off BMF. Could of sworn I was back in 1992

  52. J.... B....

    He is Inside !

  53. G.... ....

    Nobody touches this...................

  54. j.... ....

    This song will make you cry.

  55. s.... ....

    Without contest, this is my absolute favourite Soundgarden track. I can't stress enough how criminally underrated it truly is. 2:41 - 3:03 is one of the best and most slept on Chris Cornell moments. Incredible track. Unbelievably underrated!

    s.... ....

    s2thep you're right it is monumental, the opening is like a musical atom bomb, but there are several other tracks it's equal. It would be criminal to rule out just about anything off Superunknown. This is probably on a par with Limowreck, another distinctive Cornell vocal masterwork.

    s.... ....

    I believe this song was written by the bass player and the drummer it is an amazing tune that no one else could have sung

  56. T.... W....

    One of the most underrated SOUND GARDEN songs R.I.P. CHRIS CORNELL

  57. C.... H....

    HAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

  58. M.... U....

    Still remember the day I got this cd. Picked up my friends with this cd blasting loud enough for 3 counties to hear. Had a Cheech and Chong smoke out on the way to the tattoo shop. 1991. Damn! 26 years ago! Memories a thousand years wide

  59. L.... G....

    The amount of times I've listened to this song feels a thousand years wide.

  60. J.... B....

    A thousand Years cannot Define

  61. J.... P....

    The starting is chilling

  62. J.... ....

    This is my all time favorite Soundgarden song...I can listen to it over and over and over....Love the way he sang this song...I miss you Chris...<3

    J.... ....

    JADE GIRL you can sure as hell say that again

  63. M.... ....

    its hard to pick a favorite soundgarden song but if i had to then this would be it.

  64. M.... A....

    When people say music is dead it's not pop and rap are the only things that get played regularly on tv the radio and damn near every commercial, if your so damn bothered by the state of music buy more music that suits what your looking for and not whatever is on the radio the media is usually late you want a musical revolution make it happen and stop bitching about what is and isn't keep in mind during the time the Seattle sound was coming about all that was on the radio was michael Jackson and hair bands it took people doing there part

  65. B.... B....

    ive listened to this 156,000 times wtf?? typo?

  66. C.... ....

    LOVE CHRIS" WAIL!... TOMOROOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

  67. I.... P....

    there will never be another,R.I.P Chris....OUR FRIEND.

    I.... P....

    Yes our great friend!!!! He is missed!!!!

  68. i.... ....

    my mantra

  69. L.... K....

    Hard to believe we'll never hear this voice in the future.

    L.... K....

    Lori K, I agree, but console to what he has left behind, a voice that never dies.

    L.... K....

    I agree, I play Badmotorfinger EVERYDAY! And specifically listen to Slaves and bulldozers, (Those fucking screams on the verses!) Gives me freaking Goosebumps every time! I also listen to, New damage, and pretty much the rest of the album everyday. And I know my girlfriend is really getting tired of it, she said she likes Soundgarden and loves Chris Cornell's voice, but she doesn't understand and love the power of that man's voice that are far and few between and will always be that way! That's why I can't get through one day without listening to Soundgarden!

    L.... K....

    Saw them live twice.Just like listening to the recording, only better, cuz they are right in front of you.

    L.... K....

    Cornell's best days were behind him when he shed this mortal coil. I'll always remember him young, long haired, bare chested and bellowing Beyond the Wheel at the top of his lungs.

    L.... K....

    i think the same thing on weekly basis. he was my favorite artist of all time!

  70. B.... J....

    Chris Cornell died yesterday, now I'm going to listen to Soundgarden for 3 days and mourn RIP

    B.... J....

    Bob Jones that was my plan and I'm a year and a day into my listening and mourning. Still going strong. Rocking out to SG everyday.

    B.... J....

    Me too.

    B.... J....

    #justiceforchris!

  71. B.... M....

    Chris is loved and will be missed.

  86. A.... A....

    This is my favorite song by Soundgarden!

  87. t.... ....

    You know your life is going to change when you first hear those crushing riffs....

  88. D.... P....

    their last good album.

    D.... P....

    experimental???? lol. they became a pure skin yard ripoff on superunknown (listen to skin yard's inside the eye and you will be enlightened), then a bad attempt at experimentation on down on the upside, and king animal is basically just a piece of pop-rock garbage that Chris Cornell wrote making a once great band into a bad continuation of his solo albums.



    experimental??? there is absolutely nothig experimental about it.

    D.... P....

    Pop-rock? ok I hope you die slowly and painfully

    D.... P....

    i stand by what i said. the only sorta good song was blood on the valley floor. the rest is garbage.

    D.... P....

    Bullshit!

  89. M.... M....

    Great grunge sound, they are the kings of grunge rock

    M.... M....

    Don't Ask they are amazing but Alice in Chains i think has better songs overall

    M.... M....

    Kings of Grunge? I'd say hell yeah!

  90. K.... S....

    fuck one of my faves

  91. n.... g....

    kim trayil lirycs !!

    n.... g....

    Chris is an awesome lyricist, but Kim also kills it, both room and never the machine forever has some of the most deepest concepts ever.c

  92. D.... B....

    never gets old

  93. D.... B....

    awesome fuckin album! listen to it over and over

  94. J.... B....

    dam this song is awesome

  95. T.... ....

    Now this is music. :)

  96. I.... ....

    For ten people tomorrow begat no tomorrow

    I.... ....
