Soundgarden - Rhinosaur

Soundgarden - Rhinosaur
Lyrics: Chris Cornell
Music: Matt Cameron
Genre: Grunge
Recorded: 1996

I like this song. Reminds me of high school. Anyway, I made this one for all you Soundgarden fans.

Standing with my enemies
Hung on my horns
With haste and reverie
Killing with charm

Only happy when you hurt
Only deadly in a swarm
Only healthy in the dirt
Only empty in your arms

I play, I'm sick and tame
Drawing the hordes
I wait, and show the lame
The meaning of harm
The skulls beneath my feet
Like feathers in sand
I graze among the graves
A feeling of peace

Only bending when you break
Only feeding when you're cold
Only healing when you ache
Only feeling when you don't

They're BACK baby!

[fruscianteman]

i love the way chris sings "only" in the chorus.

[Lekter]

Yeah I agree with you man. That's exactly why I like this song.

[SoundgardenReunion]

I think what really makes this song great is how Chris says "Only", agreed? good.

[Lekter]

Agreed 100%

[GRUNGERINNIRVANA]

I miss this band

[SmileyFryFever]

Don't worry about the awesomeness of this song guys. Its only deadly when it hits your ears.

[DragonGP]

@fruscianteman My favorite part is when he sings, "I graze among the graves". Killer timing and groove.

@thedude652 They said it was going to be a retrospective album, no anouncement of being entirely new material. so really it was expected. We're lucky it HAD new material on it.

Kim Thayil's guitar gave birth at 2:03.

@kingdiamond2 They probably felt they'd done everything they could do, musically. I haven't read what they may have said about it yet.

Ever offered? Perhaps not (there can be only one #1, and that's Led Zeppelin, of course), but they're way, way up there in the all-time greatest list!

[daveeeed]

[thedude652]

AAAAGGH why did Telephantasm have to be a compilation album :(

[buckshideout]

Matt Cameron wrote this tune. Sounds good!

[Deadheaddead]

"Killing with charm..."

Soundgarden summed up perfectly.
