    I found a quote from Layne about the song:
    "That was a song about myself and my girlfriend and I wrote it during a time when I was treating her really badly and didn’t know how to break the pattern. It was kind of therapeutic, you know? When you really don’t know how to break a sick pattern, then you write it down and sing it and it kind of breaks the pattern.” - from an interview with Ian McFarlane, 1991"

    Great song 🎵 by AIC as usual. Layne wrote this song about his very difficult relationship with Demri. They loved each other but kept on cheating on each other. In the end she died from complications from using heroin. After she died he never got over it. Soon after he spent 6 years in a apartment shooting heroin and coke until it killed him. He made a comment the day before he died that he saw Demri,that she had come to him. Such a sad love story 💔

    Hi Nikki, hadn’t heard AIC for ages, this reminds me of how good they used to be!
    The lyrics of this song tell the story of a man struggling internally with his feelings towards a woman. More specifically it is an open love letter to Demri, expanding on his frustrations with their relationship. It starts out with Layne expressing that from the first day he fell in love with her he tried his best to be exclusive with her but they both seem to struggle with loyalty. The end of this relationship was tragic, Demri died after an overdose of drugs and Layne never got over it and took to drugs which eventually ended his life too.
    It’s a great song that’s very dark and the music/lyrics are a masterpiece! I really enjoyed your reaction, maybe we can see more of AIC?

    It’s not about heroin, Skippy, for f*ck sakes. Do your research before you start spouting off stupid shit. Yes the Dirt album delves into that but this is about Demri.
    “Peel the skin from your face” is not literal - it’s a metaphor for wanting to continue to see her as the beautiful & innocent person she portrayed herself to be. When, in the reality, the ‘real her’ was far from innocent & was not devoted exclusively to him, like she said she was.
    “I cheated myself, still, you know more”…….he admits he wasn’t faithful (life on the road &/or of a budding rock star) but, he knows she has had many affairs as well.
    She was the one person that the power to make or break him ……all of us but Skippy, apparently, knows she chose the latter. If she was just a ‘whore’, it wouldn’t hurt so bad…..he could’ve just walked away, but he loved her, deeply.
    All of that being said - that rocky relationship was the fuel for one of the most perfect & powerful performances from Layne (he has many, but this one is arguably the best). The entire set is an iconic performance from the band which is amazing in itself since they were still so young.

    Alice In Chains is the best, the guitarist is Jerry Cantrell the primary songwriter for the band, he’s the GOAT songwriter in my book and Layne one of the best vocalists ever, a truly special duo. All AIC rules, RIP Layne. Definitely check out more AIC, like some unplugged stuff so you get to hear Layne and Jerry sing together which kinda made their signature sound, just don’t do nutshell because that’s really just Layne. Down in a hole or got me wrong or over now are good ones.
