Soundgarden - Zero Chance Lyrics

I remember the copiapo mine disaster. I posted this song years ago when it happened. It was a miracle. Lyrics go together to an almost tragic event.

Sounds like Pearl Jam or Creed

This is some Big Brain music right here for those of you that can analyze form, meter, and chords. At the same time it’s just a great song that anyone can appreciate, some real masters here.

What an unbelievably deep and soulful song, Chris you and your brothers made history with this one. RIP

A beautiful Aria.

I'm high right now and listening to this song is the best feeling ever!

Great song. So soothing but depressing at the same time.

you are Forgiven Chris, your Penance recognized, your Absolution assured - see you on the Ledge My Brother. They Say If You Look Hard - You'll Find Your Way Back Home....listening this for 1 minute on my shit Shure earbuds - my Skullcandy's are way better at 1/5 the cost .

Definitively, Chris Cornell is the dark knight and voice of the new generation
We won't see anyone like him

This song is a drug.

2:53 chris put all is guts

My top ten favorite SG songs:
10. Black Hole Sun
9. Birth Ritual
8. I awake
7. Loud love
6. Sunshower
6. Nothing to say
5. Rowing
4. Cold bitch
3. INCESSANT Mace
2. Beyond the wheel
1. Zero Chance

Reflecting on life like....

ah chris...me, i am just trying to survive the pain of life in my late 20s but it seems like such a long road to go

hope you are ok and things only get better for you from here on out :)

@Alwyn Sam thank you, kind stranger :)

​@meshel n i can't claim to really understand much about what you're going through but sometimes a few words is all it takes to sense a kindred spirit...

Happy Birthday to the most talented, beautiful, man in Rock History, we remember May 18, we remember July 20th, most of all dear Chris, we remember you and all of your beautiful and soul shaking music that influenced us all, not a day goes by where I don't think about you and miss you terribly, my Sister say I must let go, but I never will..When I need to come near you, I come here and start the love affair all over again from when I was 14 and discovered you and Grunge, that was the day my life changed for the better,I carry you in my heart always.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

Been liked since day 1 btw, the most fav song I bought out the goodwill, lol despite the baby cockroach falling out the double case💯

Why doesn't anyone believe in loneliness ah yes

Still weep when I hear you!

It's been over 2 yrs and I can now listen to his music but get teary eyed every now and then..

Brings me to tears.

Fuck!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

That God of Music always may bless you Chris Cornell, for these wonderful and inspired songs!

Fuckin legendary

"doesn't anyone believe in loneliness?"

Rest in Peace, legend! Thanks for immortalizing yourself through high quality music such as this magical tune.

Damn CC was one hell of a singer man

Dang, the bass and drums are phenomenal!

depressed and crying i had this as my teenage anthem. rest in peace <3 so sad he did end up dying alone. :(

Speechless

Beautiful song, ain't it ? Melancholic & yet kinda uplifting..one of SG's best, IMO

why doesn't anyone believe in loneliness

Perfect!

Chris was and always will be an iconic figure for the quiet, lonely and contemplative.

One of their best songs

First soundgarden album I brought ! cassette tape

Very powerful! Most country music sound like trash compared to this. I love this song

best ever, miss you brother.

on the plus and minus ZERO CHANCE. what a masterpiece. it sucks so bad that he's gone

What a song, even though he is gone he will never be really gone; his music has made this man immortal, he painted masterpieces with his words, arangements and voice. What a genius, how can someone be so talented in every aspect as a musician? He could sing, write, play. Long live Chris Cornell

"Stand up and everyone will see your holiness"

This was my coming out to myself song in the mid-late 90's...

Hoy senti mucha pena, siempre escuche este disco en particular, como si cornell cantara mi pena, asi lo siento, increíble esta canción es hermosa.

I've been listening to this song for 19 years (since I was a baby) and till this day, it brings tears to my eyes especially knowing that Chris is gone now... we love you Chris. Can't believe you left this world almost 2 years ago, seems so unreal...

You were lucky to have discovered SG long before I did. It felt like I was walking through a fog for weeks after Chris passed away. This song is one of their best, IMO. Chris's sad & yet oddly uplifting lyrics blend perfectly with Ben's music & lend the song an ineffable beauty. That's something only rare songwriters can accomplish..hurts every time I think we'll never hear from him again

Someone commented on another video (Metallica's Nothing Else Matters) that it was their funeral song. This could well be my funeral song.

Happened with this and some other Cornell's songs... I heard them and was immediately sure it was a cover of some old songs... But it was just because they sounded so great, as if they'd been always there... Worried moon was another one. Oh and Billy Jean. Joking

Ben composed the music for this one but it does feel like the creation of an individual 'cuz the music & the haunting lyrics blend so well...your description "they sounded so great, as if they'd always been there" is damn near perfect

@Alwyn Sam ah didnt know Ben wrote the music to this one... Anyways... This magic is now gone for good. How hard is it to believe? Damn

​@cinzia co Indeed...it's good that every remaining member has said they'd never want to replace Chris in SG...I often think abt what could've been if SG hadn't broken up...they delivered 3 amazing albums in succession & were gone for 15 long years before returning with King Animal...while still a good album, KA felt like a disjointed effort, perhaps 'cuz they were never quite together for an extended period of times, squeezing in small sessions when they could find time in their busy schedules..

Just feels like Chris left with a lot left unsaid...

@Alwyn Sam a lot left unsaid. Indeed. So sad. Too bad

48 people have mental retardation

It leaves me breathless everytime i listening it.

Cris cornel esteja en paz onde estiver!!😢🎸🎸🎙🎙🎙👽👽👽👽

Soldgarden a maior banda de grunge de todo o planeta!!!🎵🎶🎶🎙🎙🎸🎸🎸👽👽😎😎😎😎😎

El fue pura pasión 🤘💖😢

Never got to see Soundgarden live 😭 such an epic band

"Of the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever turning this around..." still makes the hair raise on my arms all these years later

Funny how a song with words like that can offer...hope

Lyrics

Yeah
Ooh

I think
I know the answer
I stumbled on and all
The world fell down
And all the
Sky went silent
Cracked like
Glass and slowly
Tumbled to the ground

They'll say
If you look hard
You'll find your
Way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone

Hey
Oh
Ooo
Ooo

I'm thinking
Of your highness
Lying long upon the loss
I've found
And on the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever
Turning this around
Hey

Why doesn't
Anyone believe
In loneliness
Stand up and
Everyone will see
Your holiness
Oh
Yes

They say
If you look hard
You'll find your
Way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone
Ooo

My big brother was hurt on July 3rd and suffered a traumatic brain injury. He went from a perfectly healthy fully functioning 45 year old man to essentially a baby. He cracked like glass..and tumbled to the ground. He lives in a nursing home. He can't eat, speak, sit up, walk, he has a trache in this throat that has to be suctioned constantly. He can't communicate much. He just exists. My funny, obnoxious, loud brother that would sweep into the room and make it come alive is gone. He can't find his way home and it is breaking my heart. He really has zero chance. I can't be there every second because I have four kids and most like he WILL die alone. I needed to share that. Chris's lyrics help me through so much. This is just one more instance. R.I.P. sweet Chris.

Jenn D can’t even begin to imagine how you feel. Glad that this song helps you.

He didn't die alone. He died in my arms on November 6th. I'm so grateful I was there for him and with him. Always.

@Jenn D Truly sorry that you lost him, Jenn. I hope you find the strength to carry on & some measure of peace down the road. Take care of yourself.

Jenn D he's found the peace his unfortunate circumstances denied him, sister. I feel your pain, though. Life can be extremely cruel but we can also hope to find a modicum of relief given time. I wish you all the best from now on.

I fucking love you who ever you are. Look hard and find your way back home. And read the book Zel for fun it's trippy ( Fictional Novel ) Thank me later.............................. Fuckers!!!

This song and band has always helped me and of course others, thank you soundgarden.

Still haven't gotten over his passing. This song kills me every time...

I had a dream I had a sword and was defending my self in a life & death fight I got him I told him now it looks like you need to go to the hospital he said yes it does look like that.

Wonderful song!!!

I cant believe the lyrics looking back now... My god Chris. Come back...

every now and then i completely forget about this song.the day i do somehow find myself listening to it . i fall in love with it all over again.. this world is too fucking cruel for taking you away from us .. R.I.P. Chris Cornell

persecutory delusions

Whoaaa i thought i was the only one who knew this. I wish ive met you but its too late.

This is the most beautiful song my ears have ever been blessed with. Thank you so much Chris Cornell....

I wish I could find my way home

I miss Chris 😢

This song reminds me of the quieter moments in Led Zeppelin's work, and it's freaking awesome. Chris' lyrics were painful, poetic and often memorable. Wish he'd found the strenght to stay with us until his moment would come. RIP

he fought for so long. thank you CC

I believe in you.

OMG. I was making cool-aid today after church and then this was the second song to play on my friends cell phone. I almost lost it/and cried. This song started me remembering all the days when I was young and I started to see all my cousins/good friends young again in my head agaian. (3) Third eye WOW. It was spiritual.

Thanks for the video. Justice for Chris Cornell. Rip Our Beautiful Rock Legend.

I often think of this song when I think of friends or loved ones who have passed on

Repeat repeat repeat ♥

Good song, from a good album. I actually at one point liked this album better than superunknown. But like both equally on their own merits. GOd/Jesus bless and save all that read this.

loneliness is really not a phase for some of us out there. don't ever automatically assume that. look at him, for instance, amongst the many others.. there's an abundance of them to choose from. i don't know about the bodyguard incident and i do think the drugs could have been laced but it doesn't matter how much money you have or if you're good or bad - it doesn't fucking discriminate. they say god (or whatever/whomever) makes it so life only gives you all you're prepared to take. sometimes that just isn't true. people just tell themselves that to feel less responsible, or feel better about unbelievably unfair situations. sometimes it hits somebody so very many times, but you wouldn't ever be able to tell until it ended and if and when it did end bystanders would say "i knew it" or "coulda told you that was going to happen"

Am I weird because this song is so down and sad it makes me happy inside??

You might be weird but you are not alone in that regard :) I think the song is oddly uplifting.

Stand up and everyone will see your Holiness i Guess....

I absolutely love this song

This is the most addictive song in the world.

We miss you Chris.

I can't believe it's been a year already!!! It still hurts like it happened today! This song is eerily too fitting.
"I'm thinking of your highness
And crying long upon the loss
I've found
And on the plus and minus
zero chance of ever
Turning this around"

My heart aches.

The lyrics get me every time...one of his best, I think...the wound still feels fresh...the song is oddly uplifting though..

Pearl jam type vibe to this but they were best friends even having the same drummer so doesn't suprise me rip cris❤

I hope you found your way home Chris...thinking of you today and everyday. 💔

I can't wait for my time to come ... I'm tired of seeing the sun rise and go down every day ... I'm really tired of everything

I hope you feel differently now than when you wrote this comment, Vitor. Take care man.

sometimes life gets really bleak and all there is are distractions and when those distractions go or you lose interest and motivation towards them it can seem like its really over because me personally, i get bedridden

Amazing song... RIP Chris.

goosebumps may 2018

Sounds like Mad Season's River of Deceit.

Best song to leave this world one day

I feel even more empty now with Chris on the upside of this plane. Helium......hmmmmmm

Same here...If you don't mind, why were you feeling empty prior to that ?

Such an underrated song and album.

Save Eddie Vedder please.. dont let him die

Wish Ico was available on ps4.. -_-

33 people don't like this song... What a shame

Save eddie vedder please. Dont let him die

With tremendous competition, this might well be my favorite piece of music of theirs. Reminds me of a long journey taken many years ago, a spiritually transcendent 4 minutes. Miss you, Chris

Does anyone feel happy when listening to sad/ gloomy / dark songs and annoyed while listening to poppy / happy songs?
I think I do.

I do , not all the time but often. I wonder if that's cuz I happiness for me has been a distant, alien feeling for a while.

Hey man, don't loose faith. Just hang in there. Time will heal everything I hope.

Thanks for your kindness. I hope you're doing good :)

on the plus and minus

Memories always and forever

"And lying long upon the loss I've found; and on the plus and minus - zero chance of ever... Turning this around."

Why doesn't anyone believe in loneliness?

this is one of the saddest and yet most beautiful things I have ever read

life is a rough journey with many ups and downs. I knew that Chris has suffered a lot of pain throughout his life form many of the songs that he had written. May he rest in peace.
