Alice In Chains - Am I Inside Lyrics






Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
And because so, once was mine
I walk this maze alone

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

The man's beside himself, man's below himself
Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

Alice In Chains Am I Inside Comments
  1. D.... R....

    Pure sad emotion. The ultimate Alice In Chains track.. Am I Inside myself??

  2. A.... F....

    Ahhh it felt so good to hear this again I somehow forgot how much this song meant to me during a very dark time a while back

  3. T.... W....

    There's a unique echo in the background that always made us feel extra spaced and distant when listening to this stoned.

  4. D.... L....

    It looks like a satellite over the moon. I'm an old head.

  5. C.... C....

    Nothing quite like classic A.I.C , although I still enjoy the new stuff...,Jerry still kicks ass , Sean and Mike are always solid and Will does a great job with vocals and harmonizing with Jerry, but its different. Layne had such a powerful, emotional voice, it cant be duplicated. . I cant help but wonder where A.I.Cs music would be today if Layne had made it though his addiction. 3 L.Ps and 2 E.Ps just wasn't enough.

    C.... C....

    Same😎 but his career was still pretty prolific considering everything they put out was absoltely amazing. I can't think of any other band that I can say that about. Not one bad song 🤑

  6. J.... A....

    And because so once was mine...

  7. V.... C....

    he doesnt credit Layne with the vocals and even though jerry does at most back up vocals he gets the whole vocal credit lol

    V.... C....

    Composer, Lyricist: Layne Staley

    V.... C....

    Maybe you missed it, I said he doesnt credit Layne with the vocals ( singing the song) yes he helped compose it, yes he was involved in the writing of it.

    V.... C....

    That's just YouTube being dumb bud trust me

  8. a.... s....

    Okay if you are hear listening to this beauty you are officially a Big, Alice in chains fan

  9. g.... ....

    What a beautifully written song. Evokes so much emotion, and mystery.

  10. A.... D....

    I think we all wonder where we are sometimes. Who we are? Where we are? What we are? Its not always especially positive when we seek & find some of these answers. I think I almost have my full picture of who I think I am. Sometimes its best not to search...

  11. g.... ....

    6:22 in Jax Fl. Gloomy, cool day. Packing the bong and getting lost in this.

  12. t.... ....

    The guitar background sounds like "the devil put dinosaurs here"

    t.... ....

    No the background from devil put dinosaurs here sounds like THIS!

    t.... ....

    This is REAL,original AiC...wo layne just not same...good new music,but the pain of laynes voice MADE AiC!

    t.... ....

    @NEPA SRP Yea Layne had pain in his voice, no disrespect to William hes doing gods work. But it doesn't have the sensation, it might sound the same, but its just not as emotionally heavy. Layne was like no other. Williams couldn't write a song like this.

  13. t.... ....

    "black is all I feel so this is how it feels to be free"...this particular line gets me every time..

  14. L.... S....

    Wow I don't think I've heard this song in 15 years. It still gives me chills.

  15. S.... M....

    It's fuck up but I'd rather be all alone in this world far from everyone

  16. y.... �....

    This song is so beautiful!

  17. K.... C....

    This song is dark and haunting even for Alice in Chains. It's also one of the most beautiful songs they've ever written.

    K.... C....

    Their blend of light and dark is what makes their music so great. It's never been done before and nobody will be able to replicate their sound, not in a million years. Layne and Jerry had a chemistry together.

  18. j.... z....

    Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
    Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it
    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
    Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
    And because so, once was mine
    I walk this maze alone
    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
    Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
    Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
    Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
    Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me
    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

  23. D.... E....

    Loneliness it shadows me, quicker than darkness
    Crawls to the surface of my skin, visibly surrounded by it

    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

    Surrounded by empty souls, artificial courage used
    And because so, once was mine
    I walk this maze alone

    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

    Chaos and hate shadow me, pain it fills me up
    Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself

    Chaos and hate shadow me, hate it fills me up
    Only one thing makes me feel, missing better half of me

    Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free

    The man's beside himself, man's below himself
    Man's behind himself, Am I inside myself
