Dive deep into the haunting world of addiction and isolation with 'Shadows and Chains' by Alice in Chains. This grungy anthem subtly captures the agony and despair of battling inner demons, echoing the band's signature style of melancholic riffs and soulful lyrics.
Verse 1:
In these shadows, where I lay
My mind's a prison, night and day
Chains of sorrow, wrapped so tight
Gripping hard, draining the light
Pre-Chorus:
Falling deeper, can't break free
Silent screams, inside of me
Chorus:
Oh, these shadows and chains
Binding me in endless pain
Lost in the whispers, of my mind
In this dark, I cannot find
Verse 2:
Faces fading, friends are ghosts
Empty bottles, haunted hosts
Isolation, my closest friend
Counting days that never end
Pre-Chorus:
Falling deeper, can't break free
Silent screams, inside of me
Chorus:
Oh, these shadows and chains
Binding me in endless pain
Lost in the whispers, of my mind
In this dark, I cannot find
Bridge:
Breaking fingers on these walls
Clawing out of all my falls
Will I see the light again?
Or drown in shadows till the end?
Chorus:
Oh, these shadows and chains
Binding me in endless pain
Lost in the whispers, of my mind
In this dark, I cannot find
Outro:
In these shadows, where I lay
My mind’s a prison, night and day
Chains of sorrow, wrapped so tight
Gripping hard, draining the light

The depression felt while fighting horrible addiction and isolation. Grungy in nature and not overt.
