Nutshell Lyrics

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Nutshell

It's likely that this is about going through life's path: "We face the path of time," and believing things that aren't true at some point of our lives: "We chase misprinted lies." It is also saying that at one point or another, you could wind up without any friends: "And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone. No one to cry to, no place to call home." You will have to do some things in life without any guidance. (thanks, Billy Ross - Hagerstown, MD)

No Excuses Lyrics

No Excuses Song Chart

This is about lead singer Layne Staley's battle to overcome his heroin addiction. The band became inactive 2 years later when his drug problems became too troublesome. Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002.

Jar of Flies was the first EP (extended play, like an LP except shorter) to ever top the Billboard charts. It debuted at #1.

Alice in Chains was the third band from the Seattle grunge scene to top the charts. Pearl Jam and Nirvana were the others.

This was not released as a single, but got a lot of airplay before the EP was released.

The title of the EP was taken from a high school science project done by guitarist Jerry Cantrell.
