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

The protagonist of these lyrics is feeling alone and ignored in a crowded room. He feels like he owns everything, but his partner is always complaining and his soul is crying out in pain. He is surrounded by hurt and feels blinded by it, but he wants to let go of the past and move on. He is torn inside and feels a deep inner coldness. He feels like a fake and wonders where all the time has gone. He sees memories passing by like they are just outside a window. Despite feeling this way, he still feels like he owns everything and his soul is on fire.
