Here is an Alice in Chains song. It is the first song of the first album after their original lead singer committed suicide. A sad and hopeful opening. It is as if the wings of the phoenix born from its ashes are broken. I mean, the old glamorous days are over, like a retired colonel watching the children on the street from his corner. Let’s look at the lyrics of the song.
Hope, a new beginning
Time, time to start living
Like just before we died
There’s no going back to the place we started from
Hurt, falling through fingers
Trust, trust in the feeling
There’s something left inside
There’s no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known
Calm, old wounds are healing
Strong, truth is worth saving
I want to feel alive
There’s no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known
I worked hard on this song. Though I know my efforts are not even close to the original, I wanted to celebrate myself in tackling this emotionally and musically tough song 🙂
