Discover the story of the song > Brother Unplugged – Alice In Chains

This song is about a guy who feels stuck and lonely. He is not afraid to express his emotions and talk about his pain. He is searching for his brother, hoping to find him and reconnect. He compares his emotions to frozen places and his mind to a canvas that he can paint. He used to run away from his pain, but now he wants to face it and not run away anymore. He compares his emotions to roses with thorns, and he feels like he's pulling the leaves hard. He has pictures of his partner at home, but they are old and hard to see because they are yellow and moldy. He wonders how his partner's face would look like now. Even though his partner is far away, he knows the pain she is going through so he doesn't want her to run away like she used to.
