Outshined
Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
Oh yeah
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
Oh yeah
So now you know
Who gets mystified
So now you know
Who gets mystified
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
Yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Oh yeah
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding
Oh yeah
I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
So now you know
Who gets mystified
So now you know
Who gets mystified
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That i'm down on my knees today
yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Ooh yeah!
Outshined
So now you know
Who gets mystified
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again
Oh I'm feeling
Oh i'm feeling
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
Yeah it gives me the butterflies, gives me away
'til I'm up on my feet again
Oh I'm feeling
Oh I'm feeling
outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined
Outshined
From the 1991 debut album *Soul Music*, "Outshined" stands as a defining track in the grunge movement, showcasing Soundgarden's signature blend of heavy distortion and melodic sensibility. The song features Chris Cornell's soaring vocals layered over a driving rhythm section, establishing the band's dynamic range early in their career. While often overshadowed by later hits like "Black Hole Sun," this recording captures the raw energy and atmospheric depth that would characterize their work throughout the 1990s. Released on the compilation *5 Classic Albums [2012]*, the track remains a testament to the Seattle sound's ability to fuse alternative rock with emotional intensity, influencing countless bands that followed in its wake.
