Alice in Chains - Angry Chair (lyrics)

[darlilg]

im the only one in my grade who like..or knows who alice in chains are...if you ask my friends "do you like alice in chains'' they'll say ''whos that?'' im like the only person in 5th grade and in the whole school who likes and knows who they are but they might say "but i do like justen bieber'' thats what its like at my school

[Rarkoth]

@darlilg Im in 9th and I felt the same way in 5th!!! XD Hell its still the same way!

[sniperbeast123]

its about a bad acid trip

[Ilikeyourcowheh]

dear god people I'm pretty sure it's about his childhood. Didn't his dad abuse him or was really strict with him or something? And then the angry chair was sorta like time out?

[daberko120ch]

@Ilikeyourcowheh Your idea makes the most sense. The lyrics match the idea not some drug that people assume he took.

[loshmeefunky]

@Flyfar420 its about acid

[darlilg]

god,

we'll give you justen bieber and madonna for kurt cobain and lane staley

and we'll throw in selena gomez for free!

[malmalspur]

@darlilg Fuck that. I'd give Justin Bieber, Madonna, Selena Gomez, The Kardashians, The Jonas Brothers, the cast of Glee, and the cast of Jersey Shore for just Layne Staley.

[PewienWilk]

@malmalspur Yeah...

I'd give 'em twice...

We miss you, Layne, you druggie.

[LongviewGD182]

@malmalspur So basically shit for gold? Cmoon, God needs a fair trade

[1solidrocker]

@malmalspur any day no ?s asked

[kc0tma]

Corporate prison we stay, I'm a dull boy work all day, so I'm strung out all day. Lonliness is not a phase, field of pain is where I graze. Serenity is far away. Saw my reflection and cried, so little hope that I died. Feed me your lies open wide. Weight of my heart not the size.

Thats the part that really stands out to me because my dead end desk job is slowly killing me.

[MechaDestoroyah8]

People need to understand this song dumbasses

[tickedoffnow]

ACTUALLY THIS SONG IS REALLY ABOUT BEING IN A POSITION THAT PISSES YOU OFF.

THIS IS WHY I RELATE TO THIS SONG SO MUCH.

[436543]

Gives me a paranoid feeling

[436543]

Gives a paranoid

[darlilg]

this makes me want to head bang all day long and throw a chair through a window

[Kriscollier87]

Rip layne I will never forget you

[ovywan08]

who the hell cares what this song's about, it's making me ANGRY!!!!!

[Kurdt1990]

This song is DEEP.

[rhodes2385]

@austinbrake44 There grunge dumbass what the fuck r u listening to

[grannybenson]

@rhodes2385 Why were they nominated for so many heavy metal awards then?

[InaGameComa]

Too metal to be grunge. Too grunge to be metal. You're all wrong. Now stop the fucking arguing.

[dieselrage]

The music studio liked to refer to their style as "sludge"-rock. Hence the song Sludge Factory, which is about getting their album out on time to please the timid studio suits.

[dreamtheaterfan360]

Grunge metal. problem solved

[oldsouls48]

Cant really put a label on Alice. They suit whatever mood you're in

[andyevs10191]

@austinbrake44 NO there way more grunge than they are alternative metal lol

[Scarred4Life1437]

I came here cause i thought the song title was strange.... is that weird O.o

[resdsox1]

@austinbrake44 Well there grunge aswell they are a mixture of Grunge, Alternative Metal & Heavy Metal

[wangtangbowler]

idclev25

[SoThatsGoot]

"Candles when I have a bath..."

[ken0176]

DOOM 2 FTW!

[zimbo1221]

@ken0176 HELL YEAH! That and Plutonia were two of my FAVORITE WADS.

[CoolHandFlash]

I miss those vocals.. :/

[darlilg]

my fave alice in chains song

[1962drob]

Jerry Cantrell Is A Guitar Genius!!!!

R.I.P. Layne Staley :(

[MissTyranicide]

Lonliness is not a phase, field of pain is where I graze,

Serenity is far away.

Saw my reflection and cried, so little hope that I died,

Feed me your lies, open wide.

Weight of my heart not the size.

I'm pretty sure that's the most depressed depressing verse ever.

Serious.

Show me a sadder lyric then that and sung with such melancholy.

[TheMikeylover95]

@MissTyranicide Yeah It sounds straight from a diary entry or a suicide letter :(

[XxJustinxx88]

R..I.P....Layne Staley! One of the fucking greatest

[KriegerAurelius]

i remember this band when i was young. To this day, I still consider them an amazement. RIP Layne Staley and Mike Starr

[MrSr777]

dear dislikers

look at the dislike bar

now on your dick

no diffrence huh

[emmythehockeygurl30]

this song is amazing

[BrownProdctions]

i miss the 90s!

[bbspike94]

such an awesome intro!

[wooi76]

have you ver sat in an angry chair?

[ThouHastEnabled]

@wooi76 Unfortunately yes. Such a surreal song for some of us.

[wooi76]

@ThouHastEnabled

yea this is one of the most depressing songs iv'e ever heard.

[fireofdoom56]

@wooi76 its still a good song

[kirscherine23]

4 people havent met dr hofmann



[Flyfar420]

This songs either about meth, or a toilet..

[santabamf666]

@Flyfar420 I lol'd hard

[ThouHastEnabled]

@Flyfar420 Meth = a toilet. Its about heroin.

[rhodes2385]

@Flyfar420 Its about heroin Layne didnt do meth

[AliceNchainz011]

@rhodes2385 The only line that relates directly to heroin is "so im strung out anyway." The angry chair is about Layne's childhood from what i read (his father would punish him with a timeout by making him sit on a chair). Just because Layne was a heroin addict doesnt mean virtually every song is about heroin

[purplesquirrl]

@AliceNchainz011 I always heard it was about his heroin withdrawals from when he quit, he had to spend a lot of time on the toilet cause one of the major parts of the withdrawals is constipation...

But after hearing what you said, reading the lyrics again, I think it has to do with both really.

[Fancy69insanity]

@Flyfar420 def a toilet. he says "cant find it anywhere"

[PetrifiedMushroom67]

@Flyfar420 your mom giving a lap dance

[Kudblythe3]

@Flyfar420 heroin :)

[StrengthIsMySound]

@Flyfar420 or heroin?

[hittman837]

@StrengthIsMySound definitely.

[gorow911]

This song is about a kid getting into a Timeout right?

[resdsox1]

@gorow911 More like my father's anger problems

[notavailableisnotava]

@gorow911 I think he was being sarcastic when he said that

[gorow911]

@notavailableisnotava I was serious, but ok

[TestECull]

Oh fuck you SME. You disallow playing this in playlists? Fine. I won't play this one at all. It's not the only copy of Angry Chair on youtube anyways...fucking record industry dicksmokers.

[umbreoncinderpelt]

CLOUDS AREN'T PINK

[92jdeg]

the chorus gives me chills

[andyevs10191]

Really sick of how the top rated comments are usually the result of an argument. THUMBS THIS UP FOR GRUNGE!

[bjthepumpkinguy]

@andyevs10191

..and a little bit of sludge metal on that! \,,/

[isaacwilk]

@andyevs10191 Really sick of how the top rated comments are the result of attention seekers.

[andyevs10191]

@isaacwilk really sick of your gay ass replying to mine

[LegoBoy0077]

@andyevs10191 xD hes just jelly cause he never had top comment on a vid lol

[diggledongs]

@andyevs10191 Honestly I'm sick of top rated comments asking for thumbs up.

[JOECHOPYTACO]

i actually have a chair that looks pissed off, its more like a grumpy old man kinda pissed off, its pretty funny id make a video but the mother fucker vanished one morning, how is that even possible? it was a fucking rocking chair too!

[zimbo1221]

@JOECHOPYTACO Who knows what happened? Maybe he walked off, maybe he was a ghost? Idk, so many theories.

[danteras23]

@1998thekiss all of their songs are upbeat if you get it

[snajper505]

4 people are chairs without ears...

[HunterFtomHellQX]

wow this is fucking angry chair !!!

[danteras23]

I love my Angry Chair. Fuck this world.

[oreokitty116]

I love Alice in Chains, one of the few good bands around:)

[tzero440]

sitting on a shitty chair

the stench of shit fills the air

the stomach hurts but i dont care

im taking a shit on an angry chair ;D

[dragon8143]

imma slipknot fan, aic fan, a7x fan, mudvayne fan, mm fan, koRn fan, and any other metal i like i am a fan of

[LongviewGD182]

@dragon8143 PSsst Alice in Chains is not metal. Neither is mm

[H1N1777]

THATS IT, I'M AN AIC FAN.

[danteras23]

so awesome. too awesome. as good as it gets.

[USAxOWNS1776]

i sing this song when my little brother has to sit in a chair for a time out

[submissivelover]

"Candles red, i have a pair

Shadows dancing everywhere

Burning on the angry chair

Little boy made a mistake

Pink cloud has now turn to grey" Wow, Just incredible. Amazing lyrics, my favorite of the song.

[JuggalocodeChile1988]

The old-school Alice In Chains is BETTER than their new stuff, even though I like their new stuff, but I prefer the Layne Staley's vocals, so dark, raw and bad ass.

RIP Layne Staley.

[danteras23]

such a good song. anyone who doesn't like aic is a little douchebag bitch. from my angry chair. yeah!

[MrThembones]

@danteras23 oh man, look through my comments and look at what this faggot "SinisterLonging" said about them.

[yeee941]

drums are sick SON

[bullheadcopyshop]

I always mis-heard that line as "Candles when I have a bath."

[bullheadcopyshop]

I always mis-heard that line as "Candle when I have a bath."

[conan6400]

Ha this song is in doom

[MrThembones]

@conan6400 I was about to say you were thinking of them bones when I realized that, yes the first part was the bass of one of the levels in DOOM2.

[jazzmaster909]

@MrThembones i think its the DooM II song adrian's asleep

[SmokingolingUp]

"Loneliness is not a phase

Field of pain is where I graze

Serenity is far away"

The best lines ever. Layne staley was a lyrical genius, and he could write kick ass music too - this song proves it. R.I.P

by the way I used to think this song is about sitting on the toilet when I was little:D

[danteras23]

@SmokingolingUp absolutely. in almost every song you get some of the best and most meaningful lyrics ever written. pure genius.

[nolnol7]

i lol´d at the songs name

[CreatureLikeGod]

Rest In Peace Mike Starr

[MrProfessornutbutter]

"Serenity is far away" LOVE that line

[TheBigCheeserNG1]

hey i watched the music video and some guy left a (highly rated) comment about the song reminding him of rehab. is that what the song's about???

[italianXnightmare]

@TheBigCheeserNG1 Not to disrespect Layne Staley's memory, but I doubt it, because he even said he had no intentions of ever dropping his drug habits and he wrote most of this song.

[dangerousbusiness07]

@TheBigCheeserNG1 The electric chair

[Megadeth757]

@dangerousbusiness07 uh, no.

[dangerousbusiness07]

@Megadeth757 What then?

[danteras23]

@TheBigCheeserNG1 not really. it's about being an artist,. you wouldn't understand. it's too complicated for your little brain.

[TheBigCheeserNG1]

i'm learning this song for drum, not that difficult, but i asked my teacher why the tempo changed suddenly, and he said the song is behind the (metronome) beat. Still a good song. Haven't got it down yet. Hopefully I can improve.

[Biff947]

I hate the WMM font Dx

[rockerduff1231]

this is such a great song

[Algoody421]

Not that I dont agree with it being about heroin withdrawl, I do. But I think it also has to do with being raised catholic and having his childhood taken away by religion. So much so that when he goes off into the world an angry young man, he turns to drugs, which he hopes will give him "peace of mind"/happiness. Unfortunately he finally realizes drug use is the same as religion, addicting to the point of madness.... He shows it in many songs, his disdain for christianity at least.

[TheMovieman2011]

I love A.I.C

[ljlantow]

1 person needs to sit in an ANGRY CHAIR FOR DISLIKING THIS AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnnyjr1994]

@ljlantow add 3 more ppl to that

[twerkingmyass]

Love it.

[maddieku115]

[Psychicgothboy]

[zimbo1221]

@Psychicgothboy Yes it did, in the bloodfalls level i believe.

[MrThembones]

@zimbo1221 AiC them bones and this were in doom as well as pantera's this love.

[TheSANFILLIPO]

its def bout heroin withdrawl not the electric chair dude

[wwejohncena619]

@TheSANFILLIPO yes its about herion withdrawl , but he wrote it in rehab, its about him qutting drugs.

[TheSANFILLIPO]

@wwejohncena619 its about going through withdrawl of course he is gonna write about this in rehab.... Been there!!!! this is def about withdrawl not gettin clean, or doing drugs. PLAIN withdrawl Period...

[dragon8143]

this song helps me calm down when i get mad

[dragon8143]

ive heard this song on vh1 one time the music video looked awesome

[firemedic277]

its about heroin withdrawal!

[danteras23]

@firemedic277 so, that's all it's about? that;s all you got out of it? idiots. see, this is why we sit on an angry chair. it's about being an artist. it's amazing that you can listen to those lyrics and just say it's about "heroin withdrawal". open up your mind a little. listen. fucking shit.

[RedAndBlackSharpies]

I swear this song makes me feel, like I'm on Mars. Like away from reality... Weird.

[haloreachisawsome117]

sounds like marilyn manson

[thegirlnextdoor215]

@haloreachisawsome117 no...it doesnt...not at all dude

[rolithegreat]

It's tone it's scary and it changes to happiness! Like this song!!!

[Dafluffy1]

@ErickPoragua, its not about him being put in an electric chair... its about drugs.

[firemedic277]

@Dafluffy1 heroin withdrawal to be exact

[joaokosta1989]

I don't mind

[kurtiloveuforever]

[supersmashman9999]
