6/20/2023 0 Comments The box lyricsHis eyes are sewn shut because at this point he has lost all hope. Now you've sewn them shut - The drug makes Layne feel like shit for giving into the drug again. He is crying out with less passion, he is giving up and giving into the drug addiction thus the drug (which rules his life) then tells him Will be wasted - he chose the word wasted to represent when people use drug they are “getting wasted”įeed my eyes now - means the same thing as before, but as you will notice when you listen to the song he is no longer crying out the same. He is thinking about what will happen if he tries to stop using the drug and then the voice or the drug says. He who tries - (this is no longer part of his prayer) He listened to the voice that told him to deny his maker and realized that in the past the millions of times that his has tried to stop using his drugs he has failed. (once again not his voice singing or part of his prayer) Jesus Christ - Proof that he is crying out to his God for help.ĭeny your maker - The drug or the addiction is telling him that God cannot save him. Won't you come and save me, save me - you is referring to God or anyone that can helpĪt this point in the song it is important to note that his prayer continues only with what he sings.įeed my eyes - This is his way of desperately pleading “please God give me hope, something to look forward to in life, some sort of light, something I can see, something I can live for.Ĭan you sew them shut - Asking layne if he can take all the hope away - sung by a different person because it represents a different person or thing like the drug. He is bound by his addition just like animals are confined to their box. My liver is not functioning, and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this shit. To quote him, "I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. He is calling himself the man in the box because of his drug additions. Animals like this are buried in there own shit, raised in a box, not seeing anything in the world but what their fed (Pretty obvious from the video). He is comparing himself to animals who lives their life in a box and can never get out unless it is to die. I'm the man in the box Burried in my shit. This song is Layne's prayer, important to note that he said he was very wasted when he wrote it.
