Cover art for Choke lyrics by Alice in Chains

Seems to me the lyrics are about a goodbye. Well, that's pretty obvious, but my point who's saying goodbye to whom. Maybe it's a father/mother saying goodbye to their son/daughter, or a man/woman saying goodbye to their lover. One way or the other, the person who's speaking is tired of a situation that is tearing both him/her and the other person apart, and him/her is also tired of the other person being so proud and never admitting his/her mistakes or whatever. Still seems to me that the person who speaks is a father/mother who is saying goodbye to their son/daughter, and this one is leaving the house because he can't bear living in it anymore.
