...and nothing else!!

barren roads empty corridors
echoes of silence
a lonely shadow to follow
and nothing else

burdened by memories
trusted but forlorn
a shadow of a doubt
and nothing else

wild beginnings
carefree days
happy endings
all fade into a fabric of my gloom
and nothing else

desperate to belong
trying hard to prove
the emptiness cannot be filled
with lies you tell yourself

but by the resonating freedom
of 4 chords played right
with the only people
you call your own

Music for music's sake
and nothing else

These are famous words from one of the most famous grunge vocalist.
Someone guess the name and put it in comments!:)
