never the machine forever

• sözleri soundgarden'ın felsefe diplomalı gitaristi kim thayil tarafından yazılan, aslında alegorik bir dille hoş bir düzen eleştirisi yapan down on the upside şarkısı:
  
  sarki boyunca chris cornell asagidaki gibi bagirir:
  
  i cant live when it lives
  it wont live if i die
  machine has no heart to give
  heart it takes could be mine
  come on
  come down
  come out from where you hide
  follows me down the river
  shadows me through the sky
  a sideways glance in the mirror
  stalemate machine in a tie
  come on
  come down
  come out from where you hide
  get up get off
  get on with your life
  forever means all is not seen
  never means forever brings everything
  i fashion will and desire
  always i and i survive
  mercurial mind the fire
  ferrivorous direction and drive
  come on
  come down
  come out from where you hide
  get up
  get off
  get on with your life
  presently, i see myself clearer
  why time i visualize
  i spy device in the mirror
  checkmate watch machine die
