The rhythm is 60 beats per second, a very mellow dramatic composition. The preparation of raping the fabric around his arm to cut the circulation, getting ready to inject him self with the only essence he knows of that brings him life clarification. At the end of the song, the solo at the end is Staley’s drug addiction due to his depression of not reaching the blissfulness he sought after his whole career. His weeping of seeking a dream that never gave him happiness. At the end each verse there is a riff with a note bend, this is the weeping of Staley. This is Staley exaggerating the depressive dark feelings that he feels. Along with his voice, long strenuous flat notes. As if walking through life on a thin rope, swaying along this rope very loosely not caring if Staley falls to his death. When in a depressive state, it is as if the world around moves much slower and has this teeter tauter swaying. This is Staley’s feeling of his life, dark and depressing. In most of Alice in Chains’s songs, the musical tone or notes are tuned in E flat causing a dark melody. “And yet I find repeating in my head, if I cant be my own, I’d feel better dead,” this meaning that his fans expect a certain persona from him and he just wants to be his own, a non conforming vision. “My privacy is raked,” this is from his fans and the media constantly wanting to know what he is doing and violating his personal space. “My gift of self is raped,” this meaning the thing he wished most of being a rock star, has caused him a feeling of being constantly violated to business associates and fans. “Oooh…” is the agony, sweat, pain, that he has gone through. “And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone” being repeated, emphasizing that it is a long struggle to get where you want to go and no one is there to help you. “We face the path of time,” this meaning it takes time to become good at something in this case singing and writing and that we only have so much time to do it in.

"We chase misprinted lies,” this is a flash back of his child hood. He will be his own person or die.Īwesome perspective on Alice In Chains "Nutshell" His feelings that he lives in a world that expects and demands him to conform to its standards of normality and never question its values and beliefs.
