| Alice in Chains – Sea Of Sorrow Lyrics

To me, it's about seeing a friend make a huge mistake and you learn from watching them what not to do so you never have to make the mistake yourself. "I think of you, oh yes I do, such a crime" "I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow". It's pretty apparent. |

This song must be about wanting to fuck without a condom but resisting the urge to avoid procreation. "Want to travel south this year", "Won't prevent safe passage here". Hello! |

This is one of the few songs that actually is about drugs. I think the rest of them may sound like it but actually have deeper meaning. |

I don't think it's necassarily about drugs. It may have some references, like "hit the vein and struck a nerve", but that's just a metaphor. I think this song is simply about lying to yourself when you secretly know what you should be doing. "Most of us hiding, others are shining". Meaning most of us hiding from the truth. |

Most likely about the deep friendship between them and never running away from each other. Beautiful song. |

This song is about trusting someone with your life after being betrayed by everyone else but questioning whether or not they'll pull you through. |

Sounds like it's describing a friend that you do several favors for and they keep screwing you over time after time. |

I think it's about someone not wanting to do as they're told because they feel the person bossing them around is a hypocrite. |

I think it's about having to hear lots of criticism when you're in a band and the frustration of having to please so many people. |

This is probably my fave song. I think it's about someone making fun of someone else, putting them down but really they're just making themselves look bad. |

Sounds like it's about how when one does another wrong, they suffer more than the person they fucked over because they carry the guilt. |

| Alice in Chains – Head Creeps Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the song being about the media, but I think it's about Layne being fed up with himself (maybe the addiction or maybe sick of the fame), and wanting to be a different person. I think the title "head creeps" sort of means the mind leaving the body and imagining being someone else. The "too lazy" part may mean being too lazy to make an attempt to alter his life.
"Untangle you from me"
-Untangling from oneself and leaving the past behind. |

| Alice in Chains – Sludge Factory Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
I really think very few of AIC songs are actually about drugs. If you look deeper into it, there's more meaning. To me, Sludge Factory sounds like it's using the metaphor of someone's plan to commit suicide to someone consciously shutting themselves out of interacting with others, and therefore no longer having to worry about social responsibilities. Basically when you die, nothing exists anymore and it all doesn't matter.
"Once again you see an in discolored skin gives you away. So afraid you kindly gurgle out a date for me"
-Someone is so afraid of something bad happening to them that they put you down to elevate themselves. Gurgle a date for me probably means telling you when you're going to die. |

I think this song is about someone being sociable and popular when they're young but then distancing themselves from people as they grow older because they're done wrong so many times.
"What does friend mean to you? A word so wrongfully abused"
-Meaning when you are young and naive, you think a lot of people are your friends when they're not. And he says next that he is confused.
"Sounds of silence often soothe. Shapes and colors shift the mood"
-It becomes more appealing to be aloof because different things you notice about people change your opinion.
"Innocence spins cold coccoon. Grow to see the pain too soon"
-When you're young and innocent, you are vulnerable to coldness because you're new to things. Having lots of bad experiences will make you grow old faster because you become more vulnerable.
Well, this is how I see the song. I'm sure it could be interpreted several ways. |
