Discover the story of the song > Deaf Ears Blind Eyes – Alice In Chains

In these lyrics, the protagonist feels alone and ignored by those around him. He is sinking into sadness and wasting his time, even when surrounded by others. He feels like he owns everything, but he keeps whining and complaining, which only makes his soul burn even more. His pain surrounds him and he can't see the truth because he is numb. The protagonist wishes he could let go of the past and move on, but it's hard for him. He feels like a fake and realizes that time is passing by without making any meaningful memories. Despite feeling like he owns everything, his soul is still on fire and crying out for help.
