Put You Down Lyrics
Heartbreaker, feelin' alright
Body over...mind
It's slower, reduction is addictive too
Personality overview
I can see what the cost will be
You know I don't need you
I just can't put you down
I can see what it all means to me
Honey I don't need you
I just can't put you down
I can't put you down
Hard drinker...feelin' uptight
Your maker...mine
It's slower...reduction is addictive too
Personality overview
I can see what the cost will be
You know I don't need you
I just can't put you down
I can see what it all means to me
Honey I don't need you
I just can't put you down
Put you down, down, down, gonna put you down, down
Everything you buy is for the jingle
Every time you lie it's all the same
Ooo, if you need a rhyme to kill the singer
Shoot me dead before I may be through
this is obviously about a girl he cant stop thinking about.
"Heartbreaker, feelin' alright" -definatly a girl, not drugs.
"Honey I don't need you I just can't put you down" -again, NOT DRUGS
not every alice in chains song is about drugs. they dealt with everyday problems aside from drugs just like all of us.
I concur with sicman. Not always about drugs people.

Just mostly. Haha.

to me, seems to me like it's about a bad habit, one that's personified as a girl.
it could be a girl, too.
This song appears to be another about Layne's addictions. "I can see what the cost will be, you know I don't need you, I just can't put you down" - He knows it's destroying him, but he knows he doesn't need it but still doesn't have it in him to fully give up, na'am sayin'?!
@MrKASADY It's written by Jerry, not about Layne's addictions

great song and one comment? wow.
come on guys, why so few posts? this song was one of the best ones aic made. so some love guys
One question MrKASADY, how the fuck could it be about Layne's drug addictions when it was written by Jerry Cantrell?
sympathy? :P well, I believe Jerry Cantrell had his time with drugs too.

Sympathy with an added idea of a broken relationship maybe.

Kinda reminds me of Mr Brownstone for some reason. Good tune.
i think he's obsessed or at least interested in a girl who probably has no personality.
Sicman, lyrics dont have to be taking literally..there are these things called metaphors...
There's also this thing called thorough analysis.

This is one of my favorite alice in chains songs, but then again, I say that about almost every AIC song. Anyways, my favorite line is "Personality overview" because I have a habit of overviewing and analyzing my personality, and this song makes me think Layne and/or Jerry did the same.
