“Down in a Hole” is a single from Alice in Chains’ album Dirt (1992). It is the fourth song on most pressings of the album and twelfth on others. The song was included on the compilation albums Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (1999) and Music Bank (1999).<\/p>\n

Songwriter and guitarist Jerry Cantrell was at first hesitant to present the song to the band, feeling that the song was too soft, but after a positive response from the band, they followed through and recorded it. The composition is written in A minor, utilizing Dorian mode, and is centered mainly around A minor – G major – D major chord progression, with Layne Staley’s and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal parts intricately harmonizing.<\/p>\n

Lyrics<\/h1>\n
Bury me softly in this womb\r\nI give this part of me for you\r\nSand rains down and here I sit\r\nHolding rare flowers\r\nIn a tomb... in Bloom\r\n\r\nDown in a hole and I don't know\r\nif I can be saved\r\nI sing my heart out decorated\r\nlike a grave\r\nYou don't understand who they\r\nthought I was supposed to be\r\nLook at me now a man\r\nwho won't let himself be\r\n\r\nDown in a hole, feelin' so small\r\nDown in a hole, losin' my soul\r\nI'd like to fly,\r\nBut my wings have been so denied\r\n\r\nDown in a hole and they've put all\r\nThe stones in their place\r\nI've eaten the sun so my tongue\r\nHas been burned of the taste\r\nI have been guilty\r\nOf kicking myself in the teeth\r\nI will speak no more\r\nOf my feelings beneath\r\n\r\nDown in a hole, feelin' so small\r\nDown in a hole, losin' my soul\r\nI'd like to fly but my\r\nWings have been so denied\r\n\r\nBury me softly in this womb\r\nOh I want to be inside of you\r\nI give this part of me for you\r\nOh I want to be inside of you\r\nSand rains down and here I sit\r\nHolding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you)\r\nIn a tomb...in bloom\r\nOh I want to be inside...\r\n\r\nDown in a hole, feelin' so small\r\nDown in a hole, losin' my soul\r\nDown in a hole, feelin' so small\r\nDown in a hole, outta control\r\nI'd like to fly but my\r\nWings have been so denied<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
