[Intro]

Life, a thousand days ago
Hours sinking in a hole
Try to melt into the walls
Now I am here inside the bowl

Here in the cold
Where no one stands behind me

Now a thousand days have gone
Again, like the sun and moon at war
And give or take a thousand more

Here in the cold
Where no one stayed behind me
I’ll be on my own side
You know where to find me
You know where to find me

[Solo]

Here in the cold
Where no one stayed beside me
I’ll be on my own side
You know where to find me
You know where to find me

Born with a thousand little holes
And a tear to fill up every one
A thousand to ignore
I’ll be on my own side...
I’ll be on my own side...
I’ll be on my own side!
Hey!

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
