Alice In Chains - The One You Know Lyrics






I'm a little alike you before, things had changed
Inner compass aligned, all this feels rearranged

Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An imposter, I'm not the one you know

I look the same outside
Nearly me, even though
I carry something I hide
Underneath the one you know

Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An imposter, soldiers on

Are you surprised
Black water flows
From wells run dry
I'm not the one you know

Lay me out with flowered guilt
Watch the explosions falling
Cannot live within this tilt
Carrying over
I'm not the one you know

Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An imposter, soldiers on

Are you surprised
Black water flows
From wells run dry
I'm not the one you know
I'm not the one you know

  26. D.... R....

    I thought it was a opeth's song

  27. F.... L....

    Incrível como o Alice in chains nunca perde a essência sombria e pesada do bom e velho rock..AMAZING.

  28. g.... ....

    is no one else gonna mention Inez and his stellar bass work? Jesus this band is bursting at the seams with uber talented musicians. 47 two weeks ago, gf bought me Facelift my senior yr. Been an Alicehead ever since. Old, new, it ALL kicks ASS and haters go fuck yourselves.
    Long live CHAINS!!

  29. S.... P....

    Pqp, do caralho demais!!!

  30. s.... j....

    Is it me or do u guys get a 80s vibe

  31. A.... M....

    If all these assnoids would stop comparing Will to Llane and just rate the music for what it is regardless of the stigma, there wouldn't be half the bullshit or debates there are. At the end of the fuckin day, this is still Alice in Chains whether you like it or not...and really, why are you even bothering to come here and comment if you don't like it, if you have anything against Duvall you come in to it knowing how you will react? Leave it to those of us who are over it and who actually respect Duvall for what he does. Oh and btw, you might wish to consider that it was Jerry who chose William, so you are essentially also being disrespectful toward him by shitting all over Duvall.

  32. P.... W....

    Think people really get it.
    Jerry is carrying on the band in the memory of Layne.. for Layne.. because without Layne.. life just seems hollow.
    We owe it to Layne.. Jerry.. to keep Layne in our hearts.
    Really think the way the band is going is completely respectful to the fans and memory of their brother Layne.

  33. J.... ....

    I love that they show organisms from my line of work - they seem so un-rock-ish when looking at them through a microscope,! It's kinda like American rock bands using the letter Ø instead of O, because it looks metal. If they would hear how their band names would be pronounced with Ø instead of O, they would change it right back X'D

  34. D.... B....

    This band cant give up.....Jerry you rule brother.

  35. M.... M....

    i think layne would be proud of the current alice in chains stuff. they still sound wonderful, the aic style remains! god bless the 90's!!!!

  36. R.... P....

    William DuVall 😎🎸🎵🎉

  37. X.... T....

    Sorry guys. This is why most bands stop when someone passes. No hate but I'm out

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

    FUCK YEAHHHHH.
    Jezzas voice stands alone.
    Great fukn tune you blokes🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺😎🇦🇺🍺🤘🤘🤘

  39. B.... M....

    Damn laynes death really hurt this band but they still kinda rock

  40. T.... N....

    Cool song. I just don't like the sound of the guitar or the mix. Just sounds like the disrortion tone is lacking. Idk. Maybe it's the different recording technology compared to the early 90's.

  41. m.... g....

    what a harmony.,,dam good vocals..sing it Jerry,,,reminds me of layne and jerry!!

  42. F.... ....

    What a chorus!

    Tell me does it matter, if I’m still here or I’m gone!

  43. k.... c....

    Alice inspired me to write and sing. At least I tried lol https://youtu.be/FNEybPA0xtY

  44. M.... C....

    imagine if layne would have sang this

  45. w.... !....

    Why is there so many dislikes this is a hell of a good song.

  46. P.... H....

    So glad I had the chance to see these legends live for the first time this year. Yeah they still kick ass

  47. r.... g....

    HELL YEAH....

  48. d.... ....

    Saw them 2 nights ago, william Duvall cant hit the notes but big respect for all he doesn. Jerry is a god

  49. G.... ....

    This video is c o n f u s i o n

  50. G.... ....

    William really won this spot. I wouldn’t have anyone else be the newest front man.

  51. J.... H....

    Shit gives me goosebumps bc my ex of 13 years left me for some punk. Who couldn't handle me. Yet I'm in a program that wouldn't allow chin check-in is f** ass.

    J.... H....

    B.... K....

    Nigel_ 807 bahaaa

    B.... K....

    Jerrys kids

  60. R.... T....

    Alice in Chains was NEVER GRUNGE! Just METAL that's all and glad there still making music today.

    R.... T....

    omg you're so wrong. have you even heard early soundgarden? you would say that wasn't grunge either. and you would say early nirvana was punk. you're WRONG af.

  61. B.... D....

    Going to see them August 20th will be wearing a rolling thunder hat in a blue wheelchair stop bye and say hello if you want I hope I can meet them but I understand if it's a no it would suck but atleast I get to see a show

  62. R.... R....

    That riff is just nasty.

  63. G.... C....

    Sounds like gojira stranded

  64. J.... Z....

    Best shit in a lonnnngggg time!!!!...

  65. T.... L....

    How can they still sound soooo authentic Alice in Chains...

    T.... L....

    Jerry
    Sean
    Mike

  66. G.... D....

    AIC 2.0 is better than AIC 1.0. Fight me about it

  67. k.... B....

    Reptilian ?
    Yes.

  68. B.... K....

    Just came in here to see all the sell outs.... Was hoping we would shut them down by now as reaal aic fans but no..to many goddamn yuppies......anyways ..down with LAYNE MOTHER FUCKERS!! real layne fans dont listen to this shit

    B.... K....

    @Nigel_ 807 I do love Alice In Chains music..... This isnt Alice.. how many more members of the band have to die for it not to be AIC anymore? When Jerry cantrell's dead and someone replaces him are you still gonna say it's Alice n chains.... When does it end with you yuppie sell outs?...

    B.... K....

    @Nigel_ 807 us true fans complaining? Welll get used to it Cause there are a lot of us

    B.... K....

    @nigel_807 that's right delete your comment that you can't back up

  69. L.... M....

    Great song

  70. J.... C....

    This reminds me of tripod

    J.... C....

    Tripod 🖤

  71. E.... C....

    Just saw them play live yesterday and went wild when they played this song 😭 They were so amazing. The set they played was just perfect.

  72. G.... J....

    I genuinely hate the fact that they tried to find a ‘replacement’ for Layne 👎🏻

  73. T.... F....

    They still jam

  74. R.... D....

    This song "FUCKING ROCKS"! I was worried after Layne died it was gonna be the end of AIC, but Jerry is to good of a musician to call it quits, and i know Layne would want AIC to go on. RIP Layne, you are my all time favorite singer your voice was hands down incredible. Jerry said it best that Layne had the best voice he ever heard.

  75. t.... ....

    Beautiful singing...I'm so glad that AIC is writing GOOD SONGS and not trying to out ''heavy" the competition. Alice's heaviness has always come from the emotional weight of great songs with clever, powerful riffs and chord progressions that contrast dissonance and melodic harmonizing with poignant and thoughtful subject matter that a listener can really relate to...I gotta say that I was a bit concerned by TheDevilPutDinosaurs here...I didnt feel like it was up to par with all the other great albums including BlackGivesWayToBlue...This album WILL stand the test of time!

  76. L.... ....

    Alice in Chains will NEVER die!!

  77. E.... V....

    Degradation Trip Vol. 26

  78. C.... M....

    The whole thing is awesome, so that's all I can say

  79. C.... M....

  80. S.... ....

    This is one of few songs that I really like on the new record.

  83. M.... F....

    Are the lyrics in the chorus "An impostor soldiers on" or "An impostor so disowned?" I think it's the first one but it's hard to tell

    M.... F....

    Soldiers on

  84. M.... F....

    To me the lyrics are about depression. Anyone else agree?

  85. D.... D....

    Can't wait to see you guys.... Finally tomorrow night

  86. L.... l....

    Alice in chains sempre foda

  87. S.... A....

    Can't stop listening

  88. A.... M....

    Kinda reminds me of man in the box

  89. F.... o....

    Listening to the new Alice in chains made me go back and listen to boggy depot!

    F.... o....

    That is such an amazing album!

  90. 1.... ....

    So there are a lot of different feelings about Will joining AIC. A lot of people regard Jerry as the soul, the brains & other good things in the band. He is also the person to meet Will & eventually play guitar in Duvalls band & Duvall would jump onstage to sing with Jerry's Band, at that time. They meshed well together. Cantrell was the one who introduced Will to the rest of AIC & they all thought he was the best person for the job. Not to replace Layne but to make AiC a complete band again. I honestly think Layne & Will would've been good friends. I think he's looking down on them, smiling, laughing & proud. If you say something negative about Will you're saying Jerry didn't know what he was doing when he invited WD to join AIC.

  91. M.... ....

    Uma das melhores do álbum🤘

  92. R.... P....

    See y'all soon Dallas TX

  93. I.... ....

    People give Will too much shit man. Just enjoy the music, as a hardcore Layne fan myself, I can still appreciate the new stuff and the sounds they are now incorporating. Just enjoy the music.

    I.... ....

    Right on

    I.... ....

    No kidding...people are STILL banging on about it 10 years later. Unbelievable...I only care about the music.

    I.... ....

    For sure! Just saw them live at Denver last night and he knocked it out of the fucking park! He was amazing

  94. G.... L....

    My friend said This black fellow picks!

  95. S.... S....

    What's Eddie Vedder doing at that laundromat?!

  96. c.... ....

    thank men thank

  97. S.... O....

    The all seeing eye.

  98. R.... K....

    This song has such an awesome build up at the start. Such a rush at their show, especially when this song started!
