About This Track
“It’s about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive, which I’ve always had a problem with. It’s about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone. It’s actually, in a way, a hopeful song.
Especially the lines “One more time around/Might get it,” which is basically saying, ‘I tried today to understand and belong and get along with other people, and I failed, but I’ll probably try again tomorrow.’ A lot of people misinterpreted that song as a suicide-note song. Taking the word live too literally. “The Day I Tried to Live” means more like the day I actually tried to open up myself and experience everything that’s going on around me as opposed to blowing it all off and hiding in a cave.” - Chris Cornell

I'm a shy introverted fuck who only wants the best for everyone I see. We all want to branch out and be more open during one point or another in our lives. I saw them live last month. Pretty exhilarating I must say. Life is a cool breeze at times. I also like when he sings 'just like yooou' toward the end.
