Soundgarden - Let Me Drown
This is a great opening track from 1994’s blockbuster of an album Superunknown.
Gritty lyrics, sick guitar solos and Matt Cameron holding it down with his drumming skills, “Let Me Drown” is your classic Soundgarden tune, and one of my favorites byt them.
Recently, Cornell has been using it as the opening number during his concerts, while it’s not exactly the same, it still kicked you in the face.
Here are the lyrics:
Stretch the bones over my skin
Stretch the skin over my head
Im going to the holy land
Stretch the marks over my eyes
Burn the candles deep inside
Yeah you know where Im coming from
Give up to greed, you dont have to feed me
Give up to fate, you dont have to need me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
Slip down the darkness to the mouth
Damn the water burn the wine
Im going home for the very last time
So throw it away, you dont have to take me
Make no mistakes Im what you make me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
I see you turn around and burning down
The feeling starts to sink
I feel the hurt surround me
Please dissolve me
Shes resolved to be
Heal my wounds without a trace
Seal my tomb without my face
Im going to the lonely place
Give up to greed, you dont have to feed me
Give up to fate, you dont have to need me
So let it go, let it go, wont you let it
Drown me in you, drown me in you, drown me in you
Here’s a live performance from like 1996.
