Someone In London Lyrics

Someone In London

An instrumental interlude that is about a minute long, it's the only music on the album that lead singer Sully Erna had no part in writing. It was written by guitarist Tony Rombola.

"Mind the gap" is what is repeated at the beginning. It is what the British subway engineers tell their passengers before they let them out so they don't fall into the gap in the track. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for above 2)

Straight Out Of Line Lyrics

There's no reason
There's no compromise
Change in seasons
Living the high life
I don't know you
So don't freak on me
I can't control you
You're not my destiny

Straight Out Of Line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me

I'll confess this you're my tragedy
I paid you to rest this
As fast as you turned on me
Gone for ever
Vanished the memories
This face of pleasure
Are masked by your misery

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to lie to me
Lie to me

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason
Why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason
You don't need to, don't need to lie to me

Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

Straight Out Of Line

This was the first single off of Faceless. It was written by Sully Erna. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ)

This song was used in the 2004 video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, along with "I Stand Alone." This song was used (without the helicopter intro) for the game's credits. It helped to set the more dark and desperate feeling of the second game in the series. Many fans of the games did not care for the Inclusion of Godsmack's music, and the third, and final game of the series, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, used the original Indian-Like musical score. (thanks, Neil - Conroe, TX)

I Stand Alone Lyrics

Now I've told you this once before
You can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna break
I feel your every nothing that you're doing for me

I'm picking you out of me
You run away
I Stand Alone
Inside

I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can see your face
Resurrected back before the final fallen

Now they've arrest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
You and your sting down inside me

I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone

Inside
I stand alone
And now its my time (now its my time)
It's my time to dream (my time to dream)

Dream of the sky (dream of the sky)
Make me believe that this place is inplagued
By the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out

Before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside

I stand alone
You and your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone

Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

Inside
I stand alone
Inside
I stand alone

Inside

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)

Voodoo Lyrics

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

Candles raise my desire
Why I'm so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay
Freezing feeling, breathe in, breathe in
I'm coming back again

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moon light
Why my thought aren't so clear
Demons dreaming, breathe in, breathe in
I'm coming back again

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did want to be here again
And I don't remember why I came

Voodo, voodo, voodo, voodo
Voodo, voodo, voodo, voodo

So far away
I'm not the one who's so far away
I'm not the one who's so far away
I'm not the one who's so far away

Voodoo

Probably Godsmack's most popular song, it was written by lead singer Sully Erna and bass player Robbie Merril. Sully is a member of the Wiccan religion and its influence on this song is obvious. It uses many percussion instruments used in tribal celebrations.

Sully decided to write this song after watching the movie The Serpent and the Rainbow, a film involving Voodoo and Witchcraft. Many believe it is about drugs, specifically a heroin addiction ("The snakebite enter my veins").

This is the last track on Godsmack's self-titled album. After the CD ends, there is about 2 minutes of silence, then percussion instruments can be heard, the same kind used in "Voodoo." Under the constant drum beat, voices of the band members and their producers can be heard talking about how they put the album together. Eventually, a crowd is heard in the background chanting the chorus of "Voodoo." One of the voices chatting on this secret track is that of Katrina Chester of the band Luxx.

The version played on the radio is slightly shorter. (thanks, Nick - Paramus, NJ, for all above)

When Erna's daughter Skyler was still in the womb, they would put headphones on her mother's belly and play this over and over. She still listens to Godsmack.

The vocals-only intro to this song was used as the title-theme for the short-lived MTV series Fear. (thanks, Jay - Reading, England)

Turning To Stone Lyrics

Leave me bleeding, leave me dying on my own
Leave me wanting, climb your way into my soul
I don't like it, I can't live without a trace
I can't hide it, I can't take away its face

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone, Turning To Stone

You can't hear me, you can't see me in your space
You don't believe in me, even when you kneel and pray
Since I found you, I've been wanting you so bad
I'm all around you, willing to take those things I never had

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone, turning to stone

Turning To Stone

Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin and guitarist Tony Rombola originally wrote this song down at their Florida HQ, before frontman Sully Erna added some finishing touches. Larkin recalled to Artist Direct : "When Sully came down here, I was playing the drum beat I had off a ride cymbal. He was like, 'Dude, I want to create space.' He wrote the drum beat that ended up being the verse to that. It's really tribal. He's very good at the hand drums and tribal sounds. He heard this beat, and I thought, 'Oh my God, I never would've thought of that.'"

"After we played it a bunch of times at pre-production up in Boston, it came together," Larkin continued. "It created a lot of space. It's different. It has a 'Voodoo' vibe to it. Shout out to my boy Sully Erna! He took a song Tony and I had written, put his stamp on it, and made it sound like this cool, dark Godsmack song."
