"It's to my long-time love. It's the reality of my life, the path I've chosen and in a weird way it kind of foretold where we are right now. It's hard for us both to understand.. that this life is not conducive to much success with long term relationships." Cantrell, who wrote this. NOT Staley.
It's about a relationship, obviously. He's comparing the relationship to a tomb, but a pretty one. Human desire to escape and to survive. The verse ending with "I will speak no more of my feelings beneath" seems to be the proper way to argue with women. Just shutting up.
"You don't know who they thought I was supposed to be" They being his friends, expecting him to party all night and fuck everyone, perhaps, something he had to give up. The line "Oh I want to be inside of you," could either refer to him wanting to be with her, or the urge to fuck that caused them to start dating in the first place, and a want for things to be like that again.
Honestly, how the Hell is it OBVIOUSLY about addiction? I've seen that mentioned about most AiC songs here, yet rarely with any sort of back-up.
One huge mistake.."you dont understand who they thot i was supposed to be"...i dont think this one is only about addiction...it can be applied in many other areas of his life...imho

i THINK IS A SONG ABOUT A BROKEN LOVE. May be a non corresponded love, and an announcement of suicide, beacause the love that he wants doesn´t want him or even understand him. He gave the most precious that he had but she didn´t appreciated it. He still wants her, but she can´t have her, he never flied with her....is a really sad song. That´s the way I understand it. Indescribable sad and lonely....

I like your thoughts on the song but I think it is about drug addiction as well. Love is a lot like drug addiction. I think the verse "I will speak no more of my feelings beneath" is because he uses the drugs to run away and escape from the reality of the pain he feels. Really sad way to live...and the more they feel this pain, the more they do more drugs to escape it and it eventually leads to their demise.
