Alice In Chains - Got Me Wrong Lyrics






Yeh, it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life
No color clay
Individuality not safe

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong

I can't let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me to

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong

I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's gotta turn out right

You sugar taste
Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
Stay if you please
You may not be here when I leave

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong

I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's gotta turn out right

Alice In Chains Got Me Wrong Comments
  1. n.... ....

    Never can get over how far from the mic Layne keeps his voice. It's so damn powerful. Just pure god given ability that he has mastered with hard work and knowing his voice and sound so well to know little tricks like that. One of the best characteristics of AIC as a whole is how much focus emphasis they put into making their sound

  2. d.... ....

    Other and good times!

  3. A.... B....

    MOST ICONIC VOA DUO... EVER... BEST HARMONIES... GENIUSES

  4. N.... S....

    Clerks anyone? Love Alice In Chains just got into them for real I mean I listsed to them before but now for the first time ynow

    N.... S....

    Some good shows to check out for you... Live at The Moore, Live at The Marquee in Dallas, Glasgow 1993, England 1993. These guys were great live, do yourself a favor and listen

  5. F.... M....

  8. E.... N....

    Thinking of you, Tracie . . .

  9. A.... V....

    I have R.I.P LAYNE STALEY , tattood on my neck and it's so sad how he ended.. long sleeves and gloves so you can't see his tracks and glasses to hide the bags....

  10. J.... S....

    I just absolutely admire his ability to show up and kick ass despite clearly not feeling umm too well. Love him. Love them.

  11. M.... F....

    this song is sad but it's also a huge turn on for me hahaha

  12. m.... ....

    In the liner notes of the 1999 Music Bank box set, Jerry Cantrell, who wrote the song, said: "That's about a girl I was dating in between one of the times I broke up with my true love [Courtney Clarke]. A lot of times you'll tell someone how you don't want to be in a relationship and why, and what kind of person you are, and they hear all that but think that they can change you. That's what the song's about, getting me wrong and the different ways that men and women see each other."

  13. K.... M....

    I can't stop watching this entire unplugged concert 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

  14. A.... C....

    Iconic.

  15. h.... ....

    Damn, Layne and Jerry's voices go together so smoothly. So harmonic. I miss Layne :(

  17. K.... Q....

    Layne ur so hot my love and u sang so well. Ur perfect 4 me layne. I love u. S.l S.

  18. W.... O....

    Killer duo harmony, their voices blend into one almost perfectly at 0:37 anyone who doesn't know Alice won't be able to tell who's who without looking very closely

  19. D.... K....

    Contrary to what ppl think he looks good here——- most awesome performances I’ve seen ppl were high as shit

  20. J.... I....

    JUST A FANTASTIC SONG !!!! oh just in case you got me wrong B***H !!! Love to all AIC fans. Miss you Layne. I haven't felt like this in so long
    Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
    That don't last forever
    Something's gotta turn out right

  21. D.... Z....

    Sound engineers did a great job with Mr. Staley's mic. Warm, pure and natural.

  22. E.... F....

    I feel like I knew him.

  23. U.... T....

    The way he incorporated "Individuality" is genius

  24. U.... T....

    AIC melodies are beautiful and haunting at the same time kinda lik... I hav no words to express it

  25. R.... J....

    I could jam to the unplugged album all day

  26. J.... M....

    Such an underrated song ughhhhh

  27. F.... I....

    So many of my heroes have gone...

  28. T.... T....

    Fantastic song and what a great performance. The guitars and Stayley's and Cantrell's vocals are out of this world.

  29. J.... ....

    Love you Layne RIP brother

  30. D.... ....

    2019, E CONTINUA IMBATIVEL AINDA. S OEASY

  31. J.... S....

    Those pipes on both of em. Layne looked like he was feelin this one

  32. J.... l....

    Something's gotta turn out right

  33. S.... ....

    Quick shoutout Scott Olson

  34. L.... a....

    my 6th grade teacher used to play this song on his guitar during lunch

  35. G.... S....

    Layne and Jerry's harnonies are so beautiful. They made like one voice. They were musical soulmates.

  36. O.... T....

    It's pretty fucking sad Layne wasted away until his demise. Fucking drugs...

  37. s.... ....

    One of my top fav AIC songs

  38. R.... S....

    And he did this show with no teeth.

  39. J.... B....

    👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇱

  40. T.... S....

    Killer 🎶 music

  41. E.... M....

    People this is simply as good as it gets!

  42. M.... B....

    Damn, Jerry kills this... But they are nothing without Layne.. 😥

  43. G.... C....

    Layne came back to us as lil peep 😢

  44. N.... B....

    Yesterday my best friend and I were in studio to record, smoking with our Soundmaker friend on the platform. I once again talked about AIC, to explain why I got myself a n acoustic bass, and G went like "remove Alice In Chains from his life and he jumps down the platform"


    And I believe it's true. I discovered AIC ten years ago, after Nirvana, and well I must say AIC influencd me more than I can say. It's completely true. Remove AIC from my life and I'm completely lost.

  45. d.... ....

    This is art.

  46. N.... B....

    youtube perfectly knows I'm high again

  47. F.... S....

    those high notes layne hits on the chorus, man. I wish I could sing like that

  48. J.... J....

    Layne Staley was an amazing singer... He had not even realized the full potential of his voice when he died

  49. J.... J....

    Layne Staley was an amazing singer... He had not even realized the full potential of his voice when he died

  50. S.... R....

    When I think she has me all wrong, my beautiful Kat Taylor has me figured out....She ain't right Hehehe
    Thanks Layne Staley,..missing you bunch...ROCK ON! S. ROBIN

  51. K.... ....

    Damn Layne can "sang". I love how he switches to take the high on that beautiful harmony of theirs

  52. n.... ....

    And to all those saying Laynes this and that and about to die and stoned out of his mind- first 🖕. Second , turn off the video and crank up the audio and just listen to what all is going on in this song vocally. Please. Someone who's screwed up as much as some want to say, you're just a hater. Mad that you could never be on your best day what he was on any of his worst. Such an ignorant part of human nature these days:the need to tear down and destroy others so they can feel elevated. Well, good luck with that 😂😂😂

    n.... ....

    Its so true.. let the vocals do the talking!

  53. n.... ....

    Did these dudes take choir in school? Lol. When people try and compare others to AIC- Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, one of the big things that sets AIC apart is their harmonizing. Imo Laynes individual talent is bigger than all the rest , but none of fhem have Jerry, and the combo those two make. The pitch and tones they mix are so remarkable. I can't hear any AIC song now without always hearing both of them and the unique sound they bring to a song. Wether it's Layne dominating or Jerry coming in alone, it's just so ingenious the way they structure music. They arent just basic chords and just singing the song together, but they really go to some different places that really make them sound just head and shoulders above anyone else. I would love to watch the two of them come up with some of the nuances they choose and see how they do it. This song really is a good demonstration of that. One of countless masterpieces.

    n.... ....

    noahkb80 Jerry did. He was also choir president.

    n.... ....

    @Jessica P I thought I remembered reading that somewhere but wasnt sure . Really is incredible the amount of detail , especially in this acoustic set. I wonder if it's intentional or just the way it worked out

  54. R.... S....

    I'll say this a million times these Men are nothing but FUCKIN HOTT!!!! I just LOVE them!!!!💝💝💝 R.I.P my baby LAYNE💝💝💝💝

  55. D.... B....

    belly is a little strange

  56. M.... B....

    Oh I love that song so much 🎶💗🤘🏼

  57. V.... A....

    Layne was a fucking good singer, a good man too, i feel so much emotions when i see him hurting like he did, hope he found peace.

  58. S.... H....

    The greatest live performance I've ever heard...

  59. J.... S....

    Beli kaset bekasnya di Dewi Sartika Alun² Bandung.

  60. M.... W....

    Excuse me ... you got me wrong

  61. T.... H....

    Somethings gotta turn out right.

  62. J.... D....

    Layne's voice slays

  63. K.... K....

    is no one going to give credit to the second guitarist? holy crap man hes amazing .

  64. B.... B....

    As good as they harmonize and for all that was created, Cantrell comes off like a prick. Who leaves their best partner off to die like that then does several tours as if Layne wasn't missing? Disloyal AF.

    B.... B....

    You obviously dont know the full story.

  65. R.... C....

    Dam I miss Layne

  66. D.... S....

    3:10 Layne switched verses but corrected it

  67. D.... S....

    He should be top 10 best vocals ever

  68. B.... C....

    Be honest, Who is the better singer Layne or Jerry? You know who,the guy NOT on Herion

    B.... C....

    Get the fuck outta here man. Laynes dead and he already did his suffering let him rest. he was one of the greatest and there is no alice in chains without layne.

    B.... C....

    Nah.Layne all fucked up heroin sounded,and with his music still living on sounds better than in my opinion any rock singer.

  69. T.... F....

    how can a heroine addict with no teeth, ghostly complexion and nervous mannerisms be so much fucking cooler than me

  70. B.... E....

    so sad to see Layne like this

  71. A.... M....

    02:13 my favorite part of this song

  72. m.... ....

    Amazing mic control from Layne. That’s a real subtlety when it comes to being a serious, pro level singer. Knowing how to back off and blend is something that a shocking number of high profile singers don’t get right. He backs off right until the exact moment when he clicks in perfectly with Jerry.

  73. S.... n....

    INSANE!!! 2 different voices yet totally the same in harmony and they created a freaking masterpiece!!!!! WOW mad props

  74. A.... C....

    How hard are laynes parts to sing in any aic song !??! Very special talent !

  75. B.... Z....

    Rip layne 😇

  76. J.... N....

    Sad you can tell Layne was missing most of his teeth already. Poor health and tons of sugar. Heroin and sugar hit a lot of the same receptors in the brain. You’ll see a lot of opaite addicts eating tons of sugar.

  77. C.... C....

    Scott Olson's guitar playing is so tasty in this song

  78. V.... E....

    I don't understand the people who go out of their way to dislike videos like this, your lives must really suck.

  79. J.... W....

    What a performance.

  80. P.... S....

    Ok but does anyone know where some tabs are for the second guitar part?

  81. D.... C....

    Anyone else noticed they each sing a different lyric around 3 mins mark? Pretty sure Layne sings "reach for something strong" while Jerry sings "run for something strong". Please let me know if I'm just crazy.

  82. J.... A....

    It’s mind boggling how Layne still has the greatest voice even in 1996, 30 pounds lighter then ‘89, he had no teeth at this performance which severely altered his voice, and to top it all he was broken down in bad health. It’s crazy to put that all in perspective and listen to this performance and he still has the greatest vocals in the history of music. Period. So sad he succumbed to heroin. R.I.P to Layne and Mike Starr.

    J.... A....

    He still had teeth you can see them at time throughout the performance. His teeth were starting to get messed up by this time so he’s doing his best to to hide them but he still had them.if you listen to some of his last stuff like get born again you can tell he’s missing some teeth because he says S’s with a lisp but here it’s not a problem. Anyway your point still stands, he still had an amazing voice even in really bad health, definitely an all time great singer and his performance here was fantastic especially given the circumstances

    J.... A....

    @Puppetmaster 85 He has a slight lisp in this performance too.

    J.... A....

    Aleksa Stamenkovic I think that’s just from all the drug use, he still has his top on bottom teeth in this and you can see them throughout the performance, some of the last songs he did tho the lisp is far more severe and it’s definitely because he was probably missing a few teeth up front

  83. c.... b....

    Its so electrifying watching it on YouTube. In my wildest dreams i couldnt ever imaginge witnessing this live. Please take me back to the 90s.

  84. L.... f....

    Iam intoxicated with those two..❤️

  85. J.... M....

    bad ass what a great decade all gone now ,nope great music will always bear her head ,RIP laney we all love you man peace forever for you my friend

  86. L.... A....

    De lo mejor que vi en un unplugged..👏👏mas aun mejor que nirvana.

  87. M.... ....

    We never knew how good we had it.

  88. D.... K....

    This song is about me— I let them

  89. T.... A....

    Saw this amazing band 3x with Amazing Perfect voice of human being.

  90. M.... S....

    These two dam, so perfect

  91. D.... C....

    Simon&Garfunkel of the 90s, singing harmony wise.

  92. d.... ....

    It’s just soo sad he died.

  93. J.... P....

    Their voices are so amazing. During the chorus, its just such raw singing. It sounds like normal electric guitars but theyre really just playing acoustics

  94. R.... ....

    Layne's voice is just powerful

  95. G.... G....

    You...sugar taste...sweetness doesn't often touch my face...those lyrics go straight to my heart. Sing to me Layne...💜

  96. K.... C....

    This is the most epic song on unplugged ever...oh yeah MTV ahem go fuck yourselves

  97. R.... S....

    Does anybody know how old layne was when he died?
