Discover the story of the song > Black Gives Way To Blue Piano Mix – Alice In Chains

The protagonist is feeling numb and doesn't want to feel anything anymore. It's easier for him to keep falling into that numbness rather than facing his emotions. He feels empty and haunted by the memory of his partner. He knows that eventually, the darkness and sadness will fade away and be replaced by something better, represented by the color blue. He wants his partner to lay down and rest, but he promises to always remember her. The protagonist is deliberately avoiding making any changes and is closing himself off from the future. He knows that saying goodbye is inevitable, but he wishes his partner could understand that he will always remember her.
