Overfloater

Soundgarden · 5 Classic Albums [2012]

Come on in and take me on an override

Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's

Now trouble's far away, and mother in her cage

And nothings gonna pinch this nerve of mine

I wanna make it right

Close the door and pull the shades

And climb the walls

Feel medicine heal the lines of age

I'm here and now I'm gone

I'm there and far beyond

And nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine

Nothing's gonna pinch this nerve of mine

I wanna make it right

I'm on the wire over and higher

Over the pretense over the (spire) why

On and connected I'm overfloating now

I'm overfloating alone

Hold the potion up

Remember to forget and then rename your shame

I wanna make it right

I'm on the wire over and higher

Over the pretense over the (spire) why

On and connected I'm overfloating now

I'm overfloating alone

Overfloater - Soundgarden

Released on the compilation album 5 Classic Albums [2012], "Overfloater" stands as a quintessential example of Soundgarden's grunge and alternative rock sound. The track features the band's signature blend of Matt Cameron's driving drumming and Chris Cornell's emotive vocals, delivering a heavy, atmospheric tone that defined the Seattle scene of the early 1990s. While the song did not achieve the same chart-topping status as hits like "Black Hole Sun," it remains a staple of the band's discography, showcasing their ability to craft complex, melodic riffs. The recording captures the raw energy and sonic experimentation characteristic of Soundgarden's peak era, serving as a powerful reminder of their influence on modern rock music.
