Silverchairare one of Australia’s most successful contemporary rock bands. The group has had more top twenty hits during the last decade than any other local artist and they have sold over six million albums worldwide. In 1994, at the age of only 15, Silverchair got their big break when the band won a national competition called "Pick Me" with the demo of their song, "Tomorrow". Playing that year at Big Day Out as the prize of their win. Silverchair's earlier material could be described as "grunge" and the media was quick to point out comparisons to contemporaries such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Asylum Lyrics
Silverchair
Contained in my cotton crib
Where I feel no turbulence
The ocean sleeps upon a shelf and it feeds my apathy
But i can feel it in the night
Like rain upon my skin inside a winter
But you began to splinter
If I decide to recognise my thorns
'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away in the night
I feel the sun before it's light
And it fades away into the night
I was afraid, I feed myself
I cleared the shelf and killed the shame
But I can feel it in the night
Collect the rocks and throw them over borders
To shake the muddy waters
And clear myself from hiding every thorn
'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
And we grow, before we go over the windows
You're just a fool for him
'Cause every time I see your face in a cloud I feel no violence
So tilt the water 'til it turns me around
To my own asylum
Dry in the day, and fading away
Dry in the day, and fading away
Dry in the day, and fading away in the night
