- Down In A Hole LyricsBury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In her tomb in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I've decorated like a grave
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin'' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In her tomb in bloom
(Oh I want to be inside)
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In her tomb in bloom
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I've decorated like a grave
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
Of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin'' my soul
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In her tomb in bloom
(Oh I want to be inside)
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

When we try to understand the message behind it, Alice In Chains' 'Down In A Hole' is all about the feelings of being trapped, lost, and overwhelmed, and the imagery used is that of a person being buried alive. The words indicate that the person is going through a lot of emotional pain and wants to be freed from that and the physical as well. Basically, the lyrics of down in a hole talk about the most intense feelings of angst, despair, heartbreak, solitude, and meditation. On the other hand, the whole song shows us how important the negative feelings and the struggle for self-identity are, and how they contribute to the longing for freedom. These were the main themes of the song: emotional struggle and loss which might not be suitable for a 13-year-old. The repeated references to being 'down in a hole' and 'losing my soul' imply deeper emotional states, and the phrase 'oh, I wanna be inside of you' could be taken as having sexual overtures which place the song in the PG-13 category.

The song has nothing to do with laynes life, does an actress or actor actually live the fictional movie , lets all just live in reality and understand that he and many others in this world .....

pimp's comment is wrong. Mike Starr smoked crack with his dad and Layne did heroin with his dad. Jerry was close to his dad and prob. never did drugs with him. I don't know what the song is about.
