Discover the story of the song > Hate To Feel – Alice In Chains

The song is about a person who is feeling lost and full of anger. They feel like they are drowning and can't see clearly. They compare themselves to a plastic man and a paper face, feeling like a waste. They want to change and start over. They feel judged by others and wish they couldn't see or feel anything. They go through a period of self-reflection and realize that they are becoming like their father, which they didn't want to happen. Despite this realization, they still hate the way they feel and wish they could be different.
