Alice in Chains - Voices



I like these lyrics, here's my take on them.

" Used to stand  Where I kneel" -

Reminds me of the TSA, the militarization of the police, police brutality and the loss of Constitutional rights.

"I want more Than I need I don't know What is real." -

Makes me think of the spoiled American consumer and mesmerized TV heads that get all of their information from mainstream media.


LYRICS

Who am I?
Is this me?
Am I One?
Or thirteen?

I've gone cold
Hard to deal
Used to stand
Where I kneel

Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?

I want more
Than I need
I don't know
What is real

Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?

Anytime I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?

Whispering their names
Faces, uniforms I've worn
And all that it's gone
Always climbing
To fall down again
Holding on to everything
That's not what it seems

I've been told
Dreaming's free
Think I'll go
Back to sleep

Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?

Anytime I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?

Calling out the names
Faces, uniforms I've worn
And all that is gone
Always climbing
To fall down again
Holding on to everything
That's not what it seems
