Angry Chair
Alice In Chains · Live [2000]
Angry walls that steal the air
Stomach hurts and I don't care
What do I see across the way, hey
See myself molded in clay, oh
Stares at me, yeah I'm afraid, hey
Changing the shape of his face, aw yeah
Candles red I have a pair
Shadows dancing everywhere
Burning on the angry chair
Little boy made a mistake, hey
Pink cloud has now turned to gray, oh
All that I want is to play, hey
Get on your knees, time to pray, boy
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah
But I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind
Corporate prison, we stay, hey
I'm a dull boy, work all day, oh
So I'm strung out anyway, hey
Loneliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
Saw my reflection and cried, hey
So little hope that I died, oh
Feed me your lies, open wide, hey
Weight of my heart, not the size, oh
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
I don't mind, yeah
I don't mind, I-I-I
Lost my mind, yeah
But I don't mind, I-I-I
Can't find it anywhere
I don't mind, I-I-I
Pink cloud has now turned to gray
All that I want is to play
Get on your knees time to pray, boy
Angry Chair
Recorded during the live sessions for Alice in Chains' 2000 compilation, 'Angry Chair' captures the band's raw, high-energy performance style characteristic of their late 1990s era. The track features the group's signature blend of melodic guitar riffs and heavy, rhythmic drumming, delivered with the intensity that defined their work on albums like 'Jar of Flies' and 'Down in the Hole.' As part of the 'Live [2000]' recording, the song showcases the band's dynamic interplay between vocalist Layne Staley's emotive delivery and the guitar-driven sound that made them a cornerstone of the grunge genre. This recording serves as a testament to their ability to deliver powerful, cathartic performances that resonated deeply with fans and critics alike during their peak years.
