Nutshell
Struggling Alone: Unveiling the Raw Emotions in Alice in Chains' 'Nutshell'
Lyrics
We chase misprinted lies
We pursue distorted or false beliefs
We face the path of time
We confront the inevitable passage of time
And yet I fight
Despite challenges, I resist
And yet I fight
Emphasizes the ongoing struggle
This battle all alone
I face this struggle in isolation
No one to cry to
No one is there to share my pain with
No place to call home
I lack a place of comfort or belonging
Ooh
Repetitive vocalizations, conveying emotion or distress
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
-My gift of self is raped
I feel violated as my genuine self is taken advantage of
My privacy is raked
My personal space and boundaries are violated
And yet I find
Despite hardships, I discover
And yet I find
Emphasizes the ongoing process of discovery
Repeating in my head
A thought persists in my mind
If I can't be my own
If I cannot be true to myself
I'd feel better dead
Death might bring a sense of relief
Ooh
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly indicating emotional turmoil
Ooh
-Ooh
-Ooh
