Cover art for Don't Follow lyrics by Alice in Chains

Looking at this from a psycholigical standpoint...this song is one of acceptance....specifically, acceptance of self. He is accepting he is an intravert, and is going to extreme mesures (including drug use and drinking) to seperate himself from from the outside world...kinda like the enitre Pink Floyd album, The Wall, in one beautiful short song. he is shutting the rest of the world, out of his world. I would refer to specific lines, but every one would be mentioned. I hope you can see my point.
