Discover the story of the song > Choke – Alice In Chains

The lyrics are about a person (the protagonist) who is telling their romantic partner (a female) that if she doesn't feel happy in their relationship, she should leave. The protagonist is saying that he doesn't need anyone to save him and that he is doing fine on his own. He mentions that they have been through tough times together, but now it may be time to say goodbye. The chorus repeats the message that if she doesn't feel right living with him, she should leave and eat her pride alone. The song ends with the same message, emphasizing that if she doesn't feel right, she should just leave and be alone.
