Alice in Chains – Love, Hate, Love Lyrics 7 years ago
Here's my interpretation that doesn't involve any cheating.


I tried to love you I thought I could

—> Trying to love her, but ends up doing a shitty job at it.

I tried to own you I thought I would

—> Admitting that he tried to control and own her. (Sister and also shameful)

I want to peel the skin from your face

—> I want to take off your mask. This is the mask that the relationship has created for her - a fake version of herself. In the fucked up fog of the relationship, Layne has somehow learned to see her as someone deserving of his abuse.

Before the real you lays to waste

In the song, Layne finally realizes what he’s done, and wishes to free her of this mask. If he keeps abusing this “punching doll” mask he’s created, the real girl beneath the mask is going to be ruined - layed to waste.



You told me I'm the only one

—> You actually committed to a relationship with me - ha!

Sweet little angel you should have run

—> You’re a fool for dating me. If you knew what’s good for you, you would have stayed away because I’m a monster.

Lying, crying, dying to leave

—> Now she wishes she could leave, she’s suffering but for some reason doesn’t leave.

Innocence creates my hell

—> Because she is so innocent, she doesn’t know how to leave him or fight back. Unfortunately, this just perpetuates the abuse, creating a cycle of hell for both of them.



Cheating myself still you know more

—> I’m cheating myself because I could have a good relationship but I’m ruining it. He realizes she understands things better than he does.

It would be so easy with a whore

—> She’s not a whore, he actually cares about her, which makes things hard.

Try to understand me little girl
My twisted passion to be your world
Lost inside my sick head
I live for you but I'm not alive


—> Explaining to her that he knows his controlling behavior is messed up.

Take my hand before I kill

—> I’m reaching out - please help me stop my violent behavior.

I still love you, but, I still burn

—> I really do love you, but I am consumed by anger.
