Alice In Chains - Shame In You Lyrics






When I waken, and I'm achin', time for sleepin, yeah
When I'm sayin time to go and, I've been hurtin, yeah
When I'm layin, I'm still tryin, concentrating on dyin', yeah

You're right as rain, but you're all to blame
Agreed my crime's the same
My sins I'll claim, give you back shed pain
Go find a place for own shame
So you can deal with this thing unreal
No one made you feel any hurt, yeah

Body's movin, only provin, no one needs to move
Still believin, yet mistaken, all God's children, yeah
And I must say, I was stupid, selfishly she consumed, yeah

And you must change patterns all we trained
Or n'er regain peace you seek
Now you hear me, for the things I see
Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah

Throw out, blow up, hold in
Show fine, no signs, grow blind

  25. T.... ....

    Listening to this in 2019..it's still feels as fresh as when it was first released. A masterpiece of a song (ye-aa) Pure raw emotion felt in every word and musical note.

  26. J.... D....

    The brilliance never fades

  27. D.... D....

    One of the most underrated alice songs i always listen to it when i am ill

  28. M.... ....

    One of his Greatest songs of all time! And there’s a shit ton of em!! RIP Mr. Staley you are Sorely missed!!!

    Nobody:

    Stanley: *yEaH*

  30. B.... B....

    He looks like nacho from better call saul lol

  31. L.... M....

    Who is Abigail? It says Abigail during the outro but is never sung in the song.

  32. A.... V....

    god damn i remember when i used to sit in my truck thinking my life was a dead end.... 4 .. 5 years ago, shit went by fast, could only image how u older dudes feel. Fuck u emily and casey! This music rocks and you SUCK. I was so inspired with depression and i wish i was musically gifted because I REALLY felt it in 2015 and 2016 man.... fuck cheers to better days hope everyone overcomes it for reals there is hope and happiness for a good minute.

  33. F.... T....

    Quand je serai grand, je serai Layne Staley

  34. L.... M....

    Ok.. the outro.. it's like the thunderstorm at it's darkest part of his drug abuse at the very end & the night Layne died. Leaving his drug damaged, 80lb body and his soul being released to that inner peace he could never "catch" on Earth... The storm ends, the clouds part, the sun comes out as you look into the most breath taking rainbow and realize you're in Heaven 😇, you're free! Jesus suffered the rest on the Cross to get you there. That's the outro for me. RIP L.S. M.S. and many, many more.

  35. M.... m....

    Whoever disliked is definitely a Beiber & Nickleback fan. Layne has the most hauntingly BEAUTIFUL, pain filled, raw emotional voice period! Thus is true talent kids, & true poetry. Shame in You has always been one of my top favorite Alice w/ Layne songs. Alice in Chains is not Alice in Chains w/o Layne. I honestly refuse to see them live now with thst William dude who tries so hard to sound like Layne...but there can never be any comparisons to Layne's for he was God's gift to us with a voice of a fallen angel. In am extremely grateful I got to experience Layne live in all his glory. Rest in peace my Savior,

  36. M.... J....

    My day to day life is this song

  37. B.... L....

    So Fucking sad and relating at the same time! 😰

  38. B.... C....

    I what nutshell to be played at my funeral

  39. t.... c....

    "And you must change patterns all we trained or ne'er regain peace you seek" this line hits me like a truck everytime.

  40. s.... ....

    my favorite...

  41. e.... ....

    i cried lots of times to this

  42. J.... D....

    I played this song at least 10 times a day in my blacklight bedroom growing up!

  43. K.... K....

    Peace for those in pain . Lyrics say it all 77i

  44. C.... A....

    I feel it man

  45. A.... T....

    Dam..to be honest..words that should not be heard just yet for many. Dangerous little stuff

  46. S.... ....

    Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing

  47. S.... ....

    Rock n f'n roll Alice. Goddamn!

  48. S.... ....

    Drugs must be pretty good if after all the pain you still took em Layne.

  49. C.... F....

    Laynes voice is just beyond this world maybe that’s why he could only stay around for 34 years? Such a sensitive beautiful soul, we miss you Layne hope I get to meet you on the other side someday!

  50. D.... P....

    one of the best voices ever rip

  51. J.... M....

    My favorite AIC song ever. I saw them twice with Layne and I do NOT take that for granted. I cry to this...

  52. j.... h....

    indecent exposure feels so good!!!!

  53. B.... B....

    Layne your words ring through my soul brother. I wish we could've met but we were worlds apart. Rest easy friend.

  54. B.... D....

    This is hard song for me, LAYNE rip brother. Glad some understand

  55. F.... M....

    This is a message from Layne to us. Magnificent. RIP.

  56. d.... a....

    Drugs.God.Drugs.

  57. T.... B....

    This song is when the drug totally beats You, when you plead no contest to what You've done, and no words, no money, nothing will get You out of the pain. Lane was holding the Son and it finally consumed Him. God I miss You Man.

  58. K.... ....

    This picture shows how skinny and damaged he was from his addiction

  59. K.... W....

    That outro is a total fucking eargasm

  60. D.... ....

    fuck this makes me miss her so much

  61. H.... G....

    "Give back Champagne"

  62. J.... V....

    He knew he was finished and wasn't interested on being rehabilitated sad life his choice though,still love him and the music hits home hard thank you Layne Staley my music saviour perfect all your music.👌

  63. P.... R....

    4:08 The beginning of a vision: Sitting in heaven with everyone you lost in life you love, finally reunited with them. The presence of god within you.

  64. e.... p....

    Masterpiece

    e.... p....

    Absolutely

  65. J.... M....

    To be honest, this whole song describes my life

  66. S.... T....

    Ooff! It hurts!

  67. J.... L....

    Now you hear me, for the things I see 
    Yeah, I believe in inner peace, yeah

  68. A.... P....

    I've had people I know that have died. Even though I didn't know Layne face to face I felt like I got punched in the gut when I heard he died..only time I've ever had that feeling.

  69. R.... G....

    I have just heard this for the first time.....wow. one of my favorite songs now. Underrated

  70. m.... ....

    And still sorely missed.

  71. n.... ....

    Rip Layne Staley

  72. �.... K....

    so crazzyy

  73. l.... m....

    17 years ago

  74. R.... G....

    I still don't know why so much haters layne is fucking great lyricist

  75. M.... J....

    Its so hard to say what there best album is. Facelift created alternative/grunge music. The album was there in everyone's face a full year before Ten, Nevermind, or Badmotorfinger and 2 full years before Core. Dirt is arguably the most powerful album released in the entire history of the genre but the 3rd self titled release had qualities that neither album had. This song being an excellent example. So much good music. Every time I want to say that's my favorite song or album I have to correct myself. Thank You Lane

  76. J.... V....

    65 people shouldn't even be here piss off Layne Staley is a ledgend

  77. A.... 6....

    Layne was the mane

  78. J.... H....

    Has anyone checked out Youtube T.V. on a wide screen monitor, I thought it Rocked.

  79. V.... B....

    This song gets you thru that thing past the facked up hell he went thru.. and i wish so bad they've would've played it at Mtv unplugged, but we have a gift as Layne and this tune and frogs..I cry when i think about him but just as many tears of joy when i hear him.

  80. S.... T....

    Beautiful.... Flawless....

  81. T.... T....

    I should have given more time to Alice in chains.

  82. A.... P....

    I wish I could have just gave him a big hug...

  83. a.... m....

    I dreamed of layne last night

  84. J.... H....

    Who's next?

  85. T.... T....

    My personal favorite AiC song

  86. E.... F....

    An unhappy inability turns black as you carcegenize

  87. K.... R....

    OMG the YEAH Gives me chills EVERY-TIME!!!💕

  88. u.... ....

    in my opinion alice in chains music was getting better . you can here in the last songs they were growing up and learning to work together more as a team . how many times I wish I could back to the 1990's and talk to layne to warn him what will happen

    u.... ....

    warn him about him killiing himself?

  89. K.... R....

    Damn I wish you were still here so bad!!!!

  90. B.... P....

    I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this track BUT never with the lyrics.  Ouch!!  Talk about 'killing you softly'!  I don't know what/ who the inspiration was for it but, damn, that is a slap down if ever I heard one!!

  91. N.... D....

    That's the best image of Layne in my opinion, hugging the mic! Love your soul, Layne!

  92. N.... D....

    Love this song!

  93. K.... W....

    The outro gives me a chub

  94. G.... U....

    You're wrong to blame, not all to blame. It's about his ex who overdosed in 96, Great video though 👌

  95. T.... P....

    I love his voice and how this song can change people's lives

  96. J.... A....

    When I'm waken, And I'm achin', time for sleepin' , yeah,
    When I'm sayin' , Time to go and
    I been hurtin' , yeahh
    When I'm layin
    I'm still tryin'
    concentratin' on dyin'
    yeah
    Your right as rain, but your all too blame
    Agreed my crimes the same
    My sins i'll claim, give you backshed pain
    Go find a place for own shame
    so you can deal
    with this thing unreal
    no one made you feel any hurt
    Bodie's movin'
    Only provin'
    Noone needed to move
    still believin'
    yet mistaken
    all gods children yeah
    And I must say
    I was stupid
    selfishly she consumed
    and you must change patterns all retrained
    Or never regain peace you seek
    now you hear me for the things i've seen
    Yeah I believe in inner peace yeah
    Throw Out
    Blow Up
    Hold In
    Show Fine
    No Sign
    Grow Blind.
    I think I got that right , IDK I didn't look at any lyrics just listened closely, some of the deepest lyrics of ANY song. If I need corrections just comment without being mean about it. We all love AIC and if I heard a lyric wrong you have the right too call me out on it, and I will fix it. I think the last verse I got a word or 2 wrong on possibly. I was typing and listening at the same time lol

  97. B.... M....

    The perfect song...I wonder what Jerry thinks of it...and the rest of the band. Never played live...

    B.... M....

    Brian McNamara Jerry said this album was so hard to do and fucking sad, because they were apart as a band...

  98. j.... c....

    Your right as rain but your all to blame

  99. V.... A....

    Somebody knows the name of the font?
