| Corrosion Of Conformity – Clean My Wounds Lyrics | 9 months ago |
|
"Clean My Wounds" seems to be a song about the horrors of war and the psychological scars it leaves behind. It’s about someone grappling with despair, looking for salvation but realizing that some wounds can never truly be healed. War and violence: "I see the world thru blood shot eyes. Streets filled with blood from distant lies." - A world plagued by war, conflict, and deception—perhaps alluding to how governments or leaders manipulate people into war under false pretenses. Spiritual Disillusionment: "Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds," suggests is a desperate cry for salvation, healing, or redemption. The response—"He said he cannot heal that kind"—implies a deep, irreparable wound, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. This could symbolize the futility of seeking divine intervention in a world so broken, or his own feeling of being beyond redemption because of what he's done. Suicide: "Buckshot through the dome makes a big fucking mess" is almost surely a reference to suicide. "He said it happens every time..." suggests a cycle of destruction and death that repeats endlessly, with no lessons learned, no change, and no salvation. |

Drift and Die = Not all those who wander are lost. Go away from me = Not all that glitters is gold. In short, just live your life - don't chase material things, believe in your inner truth. |

| Alice in Chains – Would? [Album Version] Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I feel like this is about addiction and how it subtly lures you into what you at first feel are higher states of consciousness. After a while though, you realize that you may have gone too far to recover on your own. Know me broken by my master Teach thee on child, love hereafter [Let me tell you about my addiction (master) and how it broke me] [I'll remind you that in the end, all there is, is love] Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way [I tried to recover, but relapsed. I thought it would be better/easier this time - please try to understand] Drifting body, it's sole desertion Flying, not yet quite the notion [I love the feeling of being high, but I still know that it is slowly killing me] Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way [Going back to the addiction] Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way [Going back to the addiction] Am I wrong? Have I run too far to get home? Have I gone? Left you here alone? [This is self reflection - asking yourself whether or not you've taken your addiction too far and have no way of recovering on your own.] Am I wrong? Have I run too far to get home? Have I gone? Left you here alone? If I would, could you? [If i WOULD (try), COULD (you do it physically) - makes me think this was Layne referring to heroin and the horrible physical pain of recovery. A question to himself about whether or not he could stand it if he tried.] |
