Alice In Chains - So Close Lyrics






"I'm serious, there's big money going on"
"Big big money!"

Why are here again?
It's the same old sit down roll around chewed up pen

Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin thrilling me...

Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now

Man I nearly snapped my twig
Then again I nearly snapped a few of you

So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think...

Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now

Why? [3x]

  5. M.... E....

  6. J.... H....

    I love the "maaaaaannn I nearly snapped my twig"

  7. A.... M....

    These shorter 2 minute songs are always the best of the album, except for whale and wasp

    A.... M....

  8. L.... L....

    Underrated song

  9. M.... a....

    This album shouldn’be been called Over Now

  10. K.... W....

    The song is highly underrated as his head creeps and Sickman

  11. K.... W....

    All AIC albums are masterpieces

  12. K.... W....

    It took awhile for this song to grow on me as did sickmam n head creeps now they are my faves beside nutshell unplugged that show is haunting

  13. T.... G....

    AIC best band ever

  14. J.... T....

    I wanna hurt those journalists that hurt Layne during this era, their bullshit is the reason he wrote these songs, journalists tend to be scum of the earth

  15. U.... A....

    that opening..
    (0:08~0:12)

  16. V.... L....

    Alice in Chains three-legged dog self-titled whatever you want to call it album. Holds up today I mean and really heavy really dark!!!! Awesome just has really unique sound you know and doesn't sound dated.. I mean I know that Alice in Chains is back and Jerry Cantrell is very essential to the singing as well but it especially for example Grand you know with him singing in the opening part and then Layne coming in I mean they just messed well so good that in my opinion this was the last Alice in Chains record.. but very underrated album I know that it did do well in sales Platinum wise but you know dirt it is regarded as like the best album you know and I mean I think all the albums are great but I think this one gets over overlooked a lot more and another good one is Alice in Chains sap album

    V.... L....

    The blue tape.

  17. D.... ....

    whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ' ?

  18. M.... ....

    Essa é boa

  19. A.... W....

    I always thought the beginning was some dude screaming “They took my life!”

    A.... W....

    I think he's say they take money or some shit I have know idea

    A.... W....

    He says "I'm serious there's big money going on. Big big money!"

  20. J.... W....

    Nothing good in me , too much bad

    J.... W....

    Joseph Wilson straight from the book in the album, it’s “nothing thrilling me too much, yea”

    J.... W....

    @MustObeyTheRules ty bro

  21. C.... D....

    Thers's no AIC with no Layne Staley! PERIOD!

    C.... D....

    Then how did a new album come out in august? HMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    C.... D....

    AIC is my favorite band. I’m grateful the rest of the band moved on and are still making music, whether it’s with Layne or not.

    C.... D....

    Take your music elitist bulllllllllllSHIT elsewhere, i feel bad for you not enjoying the 2nd half of their discography, i just saw them last month, KICKED. FUCKING. ASS!!!!

    C.... D....

    Alice today is still putting out great music, and their performances live are better than ever.

  22. E.... S....

    "I'm serious, there's big money going on"
    "Big big money!"

    Why are here again?
    It's the same old sit down roll around chewed up pen

    Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
    Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
    Nothin thrilling me too much, yeah
    Nothin thrilling me...

    Yeah, so close now
    Yeah, so close now

    Man I nearly snapped my twig
    Then again I nearly snapped a few of you

    So I hear you think highly now
    So I hear you think highly now
    So I hear you think highly now
    So I hear you think...

    Yeah, so close now
    Yeah, so close now

    Why? [3x]

  23. M.... ....

    I thought the intro said
    "MAH LEG"

  24. g.... ....

    Layne's vocals on this one sound a lot like "Died." You can sense a little weakness and less power. His vocals in this era had to be enhanced digitally due to them being weakened.

    g.... ....

    Yes Layne's vocals were diminishing in power along with the rest of his body, but not only did the studio digitally enhance the vocal volume on his tracks but Layne tracked and tracked and tracked vocals on top of each other which took crazy skill to do as a singer, and created a "new" hauntingly immense sound that was Alice In chains until Layne's death.

  25. S.... F....

    LAYNE!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhh

  26. L.... F....

    Nothin' gluin' me to my chair

    L.... F....

    Nothin' thrilling me too much yet

    L.... F....

    Blaze 276
    I think it's "too much, yeah", I posted this as a joke.

    L.... F....

    I think its nothing good in me too much bad

  27. B.... A....

    This album is what is called a “MASTERPIECE”

    B.... A....

    Chains FOREVER! the greatest band of all time, however Dirt IS the greatest release of ALL time, Layne was on top of the world and taken from us so young, I miss you Layne truly an amazing act!

    B.... A....

    Not their best but so good

    B.... A....

    @subhash record All previous recorded efforts all are great, regardless of Layne being effed up. There's a confidence factor on this album within the band here. This is what you would call a "throwaway song" filler for that matter, but its not. I would like to hear the cut songs from this album one day and compare to this awesome track. I hope there is some cut songs still out there in the ether from the self titled.

    B.... A....

    Yo what's the name of thos album ??

    B.... A....

    @Tibearius the king self titled: Alice In Chains

  28. d.... ....

    good music to die to

  29. S.... F....

    Aic forever !!!!!

  30. W.... V....

    *jizzes pants*

  31. T.... E....

    How appropriate that a band from SEATTLE has a song called "SO CLOSE" ;)

  32. L.... S....

    why are we here again?? 8/22/17 happy birthday layne.. RIP

    L.... S....

    lol That's my birthday, too.

    L.... S....

    BlazeMachine22 , very good day!! ich hoffe haben eine guten tag!! i hope you had a good day, that is.. :)))) are you an old or new AIC fan?? i have seen many comments from people saying they only now come across AIC and because chris cornell brought them to AIC video/music.. i grew up with these bands and in middle of seattle grunge scene.. i was lucky.. very gute stuff!! grunge should make a comeback in my view hahahaha!! i am looking for musicians who like old grunge like this like i do.. it is in my blood..

    oh i suppose i should say, i grew up half at germany and half at bellevue/seattle.. then college at seattle U.. even college was great years for grunge music to me.. i was in college not only at seattle U however from 1999-2005, sadly my touring seattle electronica-based rock band disbanded this year in 2005, my mother was terminal ill, i felt she needed me therefore i moved to her at arkansas then.. we still play music together when possible however the electronica-rock is dead now.. my band was one which began this then with only few others.. possible if i had not had to leave doing vocals and composing we may have made much money and have had a bigger label than the small record company at seattle at this time, possible this style of music could still be popular today.. i suppose now it could* be classified as industrial type of indie however indie is too wide a genre range.. first label does say most how my band then sounded.. now we play more metal, punk, grunge.. mixes with industrial type any genre.. always jazz twist as most of us went to jazz school in california 1998-1999/2000.. there is a guitarist famous now whom i went to jazz school with.. no, will not say who.. however they are certainly one of the most talented musicians i know!! i am happy to have privilege to work with them, have since 1999..

    why i ramble here?? do not know.. i like to hear others' stories however.. i may post a video to share my social media pages soon.. have thought off on about this.. some days i think i would have stalkers, some i think possible i may gain more followers.. this is my fourth YT channel.. it is fairly new.. got rid of older ones (videos i can see only that is) because of my life changes.. anyone who views any videos, i am thankful!! no one must understand any of it.. i am much misunderstood anyhow.. hahahaha

    gute nacht!! :))))) i hope your birthday was special.. you share your born day with a beautiful soul, layne staley!! my brüder.. <333

    L.... S....
