Discover the story of the song > Dirt Live – Alice In Chains

In these lyrics, the protagonist is expressing a lot of frustration and feeling like he has no control over himself. He wants his partner to kill him and bury him because he doesn't want to live anymore. He feels like someone who doesn't care shouldn't be around, but he's tried to hide himself from what's wrong for him. He wants to experience something dirty and painful, like a gun in his mouth, and he wants his partner to scrape him off the walls and go crazy. He says that his partner is special because she has the ability to make him feel like dirt, and she uses that ability to bury him and cover him in dirt. He says again that someone who doesn't care shouldn't be there, and he's tried to hide from what's wrong for him.
