The Spiral Lyrics

Sometimes we only live for the here and now.
Sometimes we're lonely.
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded,
Or fly away again.

[Chorus]
I will fly away again.
I feel rain pouring down.
I wait to rot away, live again, here forever, The Spiral never ends.

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found.
We fly away again.

[Chorus]

The Spiral

This song deals with the Wiccan belief in Reincarnation and how when a person's soul is reincarnated, they begin to see the same things they saw in their past lives. It is similar to the 1997 Godsmack song "Voodoo" in that it has a spiritual meaning and somewhat of a tribal sound. It uses some of the same percussion instruments used in "Voodoo." (thanks, Natasha - Saint Robert, MO)

"The Spiral" is a combination of 2 tracks on the Awake CD: "The Journey" and "Spiral." "The Journey" is the 49 second intro to "Spiral." They are generally considered one song.

The music to "The Journey" was written by Sully Erna and Tony Rambola. The lyrics to "Spiral" were written by Sully Erna and the music to "Spiral" was written by Sully Erna and Tony Rambola.

Katrina Chester of the band Luxx provides the vocals in the middle of the song.

An acoustic version of this song was included on Godsmack's 2004 acoustic EP The Other Side. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 4)

Greed Lyrics

Two faced!
I feel you crawling under my skin
Sickened by your face
By the way, to think that you're so fucking kind?
You ain't!

Hard to find how I feel,
Especially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear,
You gotta get him away, yeah
Hey little bitch!
Be glad you finally walked away or you may have not lived another day.

Hard to find how I feel,
Especially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel,
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel,
You Greedy little baby

Hard to find, hard to find, hard to find
Hard to find, hard to find, hard to find
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Hard to find how I feel,
Specially when you're smothering me
Hard to find how I feel,
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel,
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel,
You greedy little baby

Greed

This song is about a former friend of the band who lent them money to record the indie version of their first CD. He said he didn't want any money back, but the band paid him back anyway along with an additional $10,000 as thanks. This guy then tried to sue them, saying he owned 10 percent of Godsmack. The song is just telling him off for being ungrateful and putting them through a year of negotiating with lawyers.

This was the second single from the album.

The music and lyrics were written by lead singer Sully Erna. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 3)

Awake

Godsmack lead singer Sully Erna wrote this. It became one of their most popular songs and hit #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

The CD was released on Halloween.

This was used in commercials for the US Navy's "Accelerate Your Life" recruiting campaign. The Navy also used the Godsmack song "Sick Of Life."

The radio version is significantly shorter.

On Godsmack's 2004 acoustic EP The Other Side, there is a new version of this song called "Asleep." The music is softer, the song is much shorter and there is the presence of a piano in the song. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for all above)
