| Pearl Jam – Off He Goes Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I'd say this song is deffinitly about Layne Staley of alice in chains and how due to his addiction to drugs he seemed to come and go from the music scene quite frequently. the lyrics all fit perfectly to him too: Know a man His face seemed pulled and tense Like he's ridin' on a motorbike In the strongest winds So I approach with tact Suggest that he should relax But he's movin' much too fast - Layne had grown skinny and tense looking after years of drug abuse, and Eddie and others would try and get him clean and to "relax" but he was into the drugs way to deep to be saved Said he'll see me on the flip side On this trip he's taken for a ride He's been takin' too much on There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes There he goes - He's been taking on too much of the heroin and forced alice to stop touring while he dissapeared for a little while... plus the unkept clothes and flip side remark (traditional grunge wear and slang) He's yet to come back But I seen his picture It doesn't look the same up on the rack We go way back I wonder 'bout his insides It's like his thoughts are too big for his size - He is saying that its been a while since he's seen and heard from Layne but it hits him harder than it does fans of his because he sees Layne as a friend unlike the fans who just see him on a cd rack and don't really know how bad its gotten... but him and Eddie go way back (to the days of mookie baylock opening for alice) And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned For he still smiles... And he's still strong Nothing changed but the surroundin' bullshit That has grown - Everyone thought Layne was pretty much finished but he seemed to return a few times, for the Alice unplugged show and for Mad Season with Mike from PJ... the "bullshit that has grown" is the media constantly referring to layne as a hopeless junkie And now he's home and we're laughin' Like we did, my same old, same old friend Until a quarter to ten I saw the strain creep in He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next Before his first step, he's off again - even though Layne is back for now they know that it wont be too long before he's off again this theory kind of makes sence because the song came out around '97 i think and the last time most people saw Layne was in '96 after the unplugged. |

| Alice in Chains – Bleed The Freak Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| i don't think this song is about heroin because i dont think anyone in the band had tried heroin at the time this song was written | |
| Mad Season – Long Gone Day Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| to me this song is about how the grunge era was dying, and by the time this song was writting people from the grunge scene like Cobain and Andy Wood had died, and alice in chains seemed like they were finished as well. I think Layne is saying that it came and went by really fast and he uses a summer as a metafore to this saying he's the only one who still remembers all the good times about it. I think the song is trying to justify truthfully the reasons that this genre of music was fading by stating the obvious drug abuse that everyone (not just layne was going through), also in Layne's thanks in the booklet instead of thanking his friends he thanks the people who shared that Long Gone Day (aka Grunge). | |

this song is amazing... truly one of the most meaningful songs done by alice in chains, even though no words are spoken theres still a feeling of pure emotion put into this song... it's simply unbeleivable they should deffinitly make a video for this song as a tribute to Layne, it would be so perfect. rip layne/aic |

| Dry Kill Logic – TRACK 13 Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
i've had the line "if i can't find my way from here" stuck in my head for the past 2 days and i couldn't remember who did the song, it was annoying me so much, i knew exactly how it was sung and how the back up vocals went over it and everything... finally i searched for the line on here and found it, what a releif. also i don't know what the songs about and don't care too much neither |

| KoЯn – Good God Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| I personally don't think this song is really about a friend that Jon had, well it is in a way but not the traditional kind of friend. I think he's talking about Drugs, we all know he's had quite the histroy with drugs and I think this song is about how he trusted drugs to make everything in his life better and they turned on him and left him with nothing. If you read the lyrics and think of it as being about drugs it does make sence, plus the fact that Jonathan didn't have many friends just adds to this point. so in my opinion this song is about Jon becoming a slave to drugs. | |
| Jerry Cantrell – Locked On Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| its simply about him admitting to the drug abuse and just saying that he doesn't care what others think because he's gonna live his life for himself and nobody else | |
| A Perfect Circle – Sleeping Beauty Lyrics | 23 years ago |
| personally i think that this song is about how people often blame them selves when someone close to them dies, like they think that if they had've done one thing different it never would have happened like the line: truly thought I could make it right if I Kissed you one more time. I think this is this person realizing that there was nothing they could do and that they they couldn't have done n e thing to change the outcome. but people often tend to blame them sleves for things that happen to other people, thats what i got from the song at least. | |
