Alice In Chains Lyrics

    ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

Why there are so many reviews about America being good, or America being bad, or whatever? And I didn't quite get the message of the last one, about WW II... Don't know, for me this song is just a curse to all wars, to all this cruelty and all people suffering from it, Americans, Vietnamese, whoever... And no song said it better, really.

    ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

There's been said a lot about depression, suicide and all the rest of it... But for me this song is not so dark as most of AiC.

And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone...

This word "fight" is sort of stressed. And even the line "I'd better feel dead" makes me wanna fight for being my own self... And there's something painfully light in the music... That's what life is - sad, bitter, but beautiful and worth struggling for. Even if you're alone... Maybe it sounds strange, but I feel this song sort of positive .

    ------ About the song Rotten Apple performed by Alice In Chains

This is the best song of Jar of Flies, and it holds all of AiC in itself... Every moment I recall this tune, even when I don't actually hear it, it makes me feel terribly sorrowful. Like a death lullaby... But this is their magic. When you listen to Layne's voice you just realize there was someone who felt so much worse than you... Strange. Superb.

By the way, the lines "I'm crawling back to start" do mean death, IMHO. Oblivion, non-existence - the same thing that was before the birth. For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return...

I am extremely fond of Nirvana and Soundgarden, but if I were to choose the best "grunge" band I'd point to Alice in Chains. There had never been, and will never be anyone like them.

    ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

I myself know-that-

since I can't be MY own I will feel better dead, because being my own isn't what others want for me.There is no category to put me into other than addict in most peoples eyes,and like Layne,I don't want to be categorized.
I(will inevitably)FADE AWAY(as well)

    ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but the Rooster is America, and the song is made to be set in the Vietnam war. There was no word for Eagle in the Vietnamese language, so they called us the Roosters (in their own language of course). And while we're on the subject, is America the best damned thing that's happened to the world? Certainly not. Ask yourselves though, if we had not become involved in World War II (and subsequently the aftermath effects of Vietnam and Korea as part of the Cold War)would Hitler rule the world? The fascist regime would not have stopped at Jews. The Jewish people were the first on the list, with Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Islam, all on the list to follow. Sure, we as a nation have not done the greatest things in our past. But I'll be damned if anyone in this world would rather have Nazi Germany as the world's superpower.

I have always thought Layne had the most amazing VOICE!...i have ever heard for a Grunge band he ROCCD!!!!....to NO end...wish he was still here to make his beyond awesome music!...

    ------ About the song Your Decision performed by Alice In Chains

Alice In Chains isn't my favorite band, but this song stands out to me as one I like a lot. Simple chord progression and no cool time signature changes, but simplicity has its place and this song is a brilliant example. Lots of emotion. I like how the pattern of the song isn't the extremely overused verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-solo-chorus. Instead it has a long first verse, a pre-chorus, a chorus, then a really pretty solo, then a short second verse, then the pre-chorus and chorus again. Clever format.

    ------ About the song Don't Follow performed by Alice In Chains

I heard this song the first time when I was like 8 years old, and since then I've been a AIC fan. Twelve years listening to all the albums over and over again and the thing is that it's as powerful as the first time I really listened to it.
It seems that every AIC fan out there's special in a special kind of way. I think you know what I mean, deep in a pure but horrible dirty way. Holy in it's unholyness.

This song has always been it for me. It has traveled with me my whole life. Through extremely strong examples. My first love left me without any explenation, it was there. One of my best friends that took a heroin overdose the first time she took it in a age of 16, it was there.

Whatever, the song is it. I've thought that this is the song that will be played at my funeral but fuck that, I wanna hear it while I dies.
