I've come to the conclusion, after reading and studying Jerry's myriad lyrics, that he's truly a broken man, who's literally just going through the motions. So much regret, anger, fear, and self-loathing in the man. He's like a modern Solomon. He has (owns) everything, has tried everything, has done everything, but he's still riddled with guilt, fear of aging, fear of death. He still reminisces over his glory days with the band way back when he was "once a chosen son." I worry about him, especially with songs like this mentioning guns pointed at heads and such. 😳
Yeah. This is some dark shit right here, like a lot of their songs. Throughout the verse and chorus you can tell this guy is/has gone through some serious depression. Then the last part of “not going to save you, preform euthanasia”. Holy shit…glad he’s made it so far.
OMG Peter, I absolutely agree. I cannot stop listening to this song... I have been done it for years now. I love the whole song, the bridge is absolutely AMAZING. And the ambient and melodies from there to the end are simply incredible. Such a beautiful composition!!!. This is priceless... It is pure magic, pure art...
GetYourPull18 he sings in all the new songs on harmonies with jerry. U mean just him alone? Check out so far under from the new album. He does need more solo songs tho.
Yeah it really would be awesome. It would have been very powerful even more so than it already is. You know that with artificial intelligence they're working on a program that can sync up artists voice with different songs that they have absolutely nothing to do with or even etched the same lyrics, it doesn't matter. For example in the near future you could hear Layne Staley sing Smells like teen spirit and it would sound like he organically recorded a cover version of it and you couldn't tell that it was a.i. That's how good it will be. Right now it has a lot of kinks but won't for long. If this does work out I would love to hear Layne's voice on the entire first Godsmack album...can you imagine Layne singing Keep Away or Voodoo!!!??? That would be so epic I'd probably get so excited that I'd piss myself but a part of me thinks there's something morally wrong with that technology but my greedy consumer self wants it so badly...
[Verse 1] Hung on a hook I'm a mirror Cracked down the center I split you Counting the clouds in a storm behind your eyes Show you the face of a man who Not that he wants but he has to Look at the thing he's become, what I see [Chorus] I'm caught in a still life with no frame Sometimes people do, the world it don't change Give up awaiting someday Future between a gun and your head [Verse 2] Pieces of me on a tile floor Look up at you as you change more Floating in fear I appear a hundred times Hold a reflection inside me I cannot feel you are empty Throw me away I am broken not your time [Chorus] I'm caught in a still life with no frame Sometimes people do, the world it don't change Give up awaiting someday Future between a gun and your head [Outro] Not going to save you Perform euthanasia

Layne floating around the studio
Those verses are fucking haunting. This album is a masterpiece of atmosphere.

My favorite song on this record. That’s very difficult to say because this is one of their best records in my humble opinion.
Agreed.
I agree. Fantastic record.
3:47 to the end of the song probably one of my favorite 1.5 minutes in all of music

I am another one who has the end of this song resonating in my mind at any time, all day and anywhere.
@@elfrugal i came to listen to this after a year. . The melody got stuck in my head out of nowhere. I just had to listen. Haha
Shivers after listening to that last minute and a half.
I mean honestly
William should sing in more songs
GetYourPull18 he sings in all the new songs on harmonies with jerry. U mean just him alone? Check out so far under from the new album. He does need more solo songs tho.
Dont matter! This song is as good as anything off of the almighty DIRT! This song sounds like it could have been on DIRT. FUCKING INCREDIBLE!
Well that's a reason to have ears
Imagine if Layne was still alive and he was singing this
Yeah it really would be awesome. It would have been very powerful even more so than it already is.

Sounds like lyane is here..lol great song
[Verse 1]
Hung on a hook I'm a mirror
Cracked down the center I split you
Counting the clouds in a storm behind your eyes
Show you the face of a man who
Not that he wants but he has to
Look at the thing he's become, what I see
[Chorus]
I'm caught in a still life with no frame
Sometimes people do, the world it don't change
Give up awaiting someday
Future between a gun and your head
[Verse 2]
Pieces of me on a tile floor
Look up at you as you change more
Floating in fear I appear a hundred times
Hold a reflection inside me
I cannot feel you are empty
Throw me away
I am broken not your time
[Chorus]
I'm caught in a still life with no frame
Sometimes people do, the world it don't change
Give up awaiting someday
Future between a gun and your head
[Outro]
Not going to save you
Perform euthanasia
"You shouldn't hang me on a hook.
My mother hung me on a hook once.
Once."
That voiceeee jizzzz
One of th most extended albums of Alice..
I really like this song
I am quite literally hung on this hook. Well not literally but..
This sounds like Whale and Wasp, and Confusion mixed together kinda
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I FELT
and a little bit of black hole sun too
I Wonder How It Would Sound Like If Layne Was Alive!
Hung on a hook I'm a mirror
Cracked down the center I split you
Counting the clouds in a storm behind your eyes
Show you the face of a man who
Not that he wants but he has to
Look at the thing he's become, what I see
I'm caught in a still life with no frame
Sometimes people do, the world it don't change
Give up awaiting someday
Future between a gun and your head
Pieces of me on a tile floor
Look up at you as you change more
Floating in fear I appear a hundred times
Hold a reflection inside me
I cannot feel you are empty
Throw me away
I am broken not your time
I'm caught in a still life with no frame
Sometimes people do, the world it don't change
Give up awaiting someday
Future between a gun and your head
Not gonna save you
Perform euthanasia
Destiny White awesome thank you
