Our inevitable biblical path and self destruction by us and the elite. Thankyou you comment was the one I was looking for and summed up exactly why it relates to. I was a heroin addict for 15 years but I managed to kick my demons & my habit. Jennifer Davies from PennsylvaniaThis is a beautiful but haunting song.I truly wish Layne would have made it because life is beautiful on the other side of depression and addiction! Though I still struggle today with the depression I would take this life over that life any day! Nutshell lyrics will be printed on my grave! I have now been clean for 12 years but everything he says in this song I felt while I was in active addiction. I totally agree that this is about his addiction. Nick from New JerseyThis has been my favorite song since I was 17 and I’m now going on 37.And also, there are misprinted lines in the Bible, but that's beside the point. Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganWhen Aaron Lewis says "a fallen hero", a dude in the audience says, "John Lennon?" Sorry, that was bugging' me, 'cuz I seem to be the only one who knew the answer.Īnywayz, Bloodaxe and whoever else are wrong, Layne was never overtly political, they wrote about autobiographical things, emotion-filled topics, though they were never emo.BTW, this song makes me tear up every f-king time. Anyway, Dude was a f-king titanic talent that touched a ton of people and is greatly missed. Listen to it again right after you read this, he says it! "No one to cry to, no place to call home" Dude was a very intelligent, sensitive guy that was misunderstood 100% and that really f-ked with him. He was pissed that that was what was focused on and not the band. Dude felt like he had no-one to turn to because they would have preconcieved notions about him off the bat because of what was written. A f-kING TON!!!! Layne was by far one of the most if not the most ostracized of them all. Think about that, how many artists, not only musicians, have had serious drug problems. But he's saying and really reaching out to everyone, is HEY MAN, I'm more that this crap that you're assuming and writing, focus on our music and the boys in our band, not my personal things you think you know but most definitely don't. Dude didn't hide from his personal demons, quite the opposite actually. All that did was make him retreat even further, making him feeling even more trapped and alone. They focused and made up stories that had nothing to do with the music, and focused on his personal demons that took everything away from the actual music they made, which, BTW, was nothing short of incredible. What this song is about, and what Layne is saying, is that what has been written about him is not only false, it was taking away from the incredible music AIC made. Shaga Bar from CaboThis is such a simple, Beautifully sad, perfect song, on every level.It was Staley in a nutshell, but it was also the '90s zeitgeist in a nutshell. Staley embodied that ("if I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead"). The spirit of '90s youth was a refusal to submit to "the machine," not in a political sense so much as a personal and spiritual one. The grunge era of the '90s was largely a reaction to the '80s, which were seen as a decade of conformity, soulless corporatism, and formulaic music (this epitaph is oversimplified yet is almost universal). Staley also reveals his problems with fame ("we chase misprinted lies") and his general battle with modern life. There's more to the song than heroin struggles, though. He was deep into that fight while recording this song, and we can hear it in the opening lyrics. The rest of the band (guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike Inez, and drummer Sean Kinney) wrote the music.Īfter completing the Jar Of Flies album, Staley entered rehab for his well-documented heroin addiction.
