Lyrics Nutshell

Nutshell is a song by Alice in Chains, primarily written by Jerry Cantrell. Known for its melancholic melody and introspective lyrics, the song reflects internal struggles and personal pain, particularly relating to Layne Staleys battle with addiction. The lyrics convey feelings of loneliness and despair, and were seen as an emotional outpouring during a challenging period for the band.

We, we chase misprinted lies
We, we face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone
No one to cry to, no place to call home
WHOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOO WHOOOO
WHOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOO WHOOOO

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find repeating in my head
If i can't be my own, I'd feel better dead
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOO
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOO
(Repeat Music four times)
