Discover the story of the song > Rotten Apple – Alice In Chains

The lyrics describe the downfall of the protagonist as he loses his innocence, becomes ignorant, broken, and arrogant. He realizes that what he sees is unreal, but it's too late, he has written his own sad story. He has fallen in love, but it has ended badly and he regrets his decisions. The apple represents a temptation that has led him down this path, and he is now crawling back to the starting point.
