K I'm not trying to be the one to say 'this tracks about drugs.' Rumors were going around at that time though that Layne was missing fingers and even DEAD because of his drug abuse.
In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it's a see through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah
This song was sort of a response to that by saying.. He was just saying 'I'm still here, I'm alive and the rumors are bs.'
Buuut then the part of the song...
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don't grind
Personally I can't help but to understand that as the state your body goes through when you are in withdrawal. During that time the pupils become very large and sensitive to light and you are in a state of hellish insomnia and anxiety so as a result the teeth chatter and grind.
Hear a sound from a voice inside
I understand that simply like your head telling you over and over "I need more NOW"..
This song was written by Jerry, but the songs meaning is definitely speaking for Layne about the rumors the media made up as well as the reality of the lifestyle Layne choose...
