I agree that Staley wanted to talk about heroin here, but i totally hate the way people start to argue about the meaning of the song. It could have 1000 different meanings, this is what art means, it depends on what each listener needs to hear. To me, it's about hating someone that made you feel like crap and caused you to lose self-esteem, and the need to get revenge for that. But that's just my humble opinion.
@zmonk I'd argue it still is about internal struggles within one self more so than with someone else ... but yes agree, each to their own (and your personal experiences may determine whether you see it as an internal struggle or an external one).

@zmonk Yeah I read that "it is definitely about drugs" but my interpretation is the weakness you have towards other human beings and so you choose the easy way and ask them to "bury" you"instead of trying to understand you.
