Layne Staley’s Quotes
————————————————-

I made this because I really love this man.He knew something about pain, As many of us…He lived in pain, As many of us.And he died in pain, as many of those who are no longer here.I don’t believe in heaven or something like that but, I hope wherever he is, is smiling

We love you Layne and never forget about you.

I wish I could just hug you all, but I’m not gonna.

I’ve always looked for the perfect life to step into. I’ve taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me.

Music is the career I’m lucky enough to get paid for, but I have other desires and passions.

My bad habits aren’t my title. My strengths and my talent are my title.

My bed isn’t made, I’m tired, I haven’t slept well for two weeks. I haven’t been laid in a month. I don’t have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.

Our perception of songs that we’ve written… the meaning changes from day to day… to whatever stage we’re at in our life and careers.

People have a right to ask questions and dig deep when you’re hurting people and things around you.

The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote ‘em down, and when you listen to ‘em, whatever you think it’s about… THAT’S what it’s about!

There are lasting consequences for using drugs. I’ll still be paying for my prior use.

There were a lot of drugs. We kinda just passed the time that way. For a couple of years we were all doin’ anything we could get our hands on.

There’s no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we’ve grown and are learning to accommodate each others’ differences.

We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.

Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be.

When everyone goes home, you’re stuck with yourself.

At home I’m just a guy who has interests that extend far beyond music.

Being me is no different than being most anyone else, I guess.

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won’t lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.

Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I’m using or not.

Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain’t my title.

I don’t do much else but stay in my hotel room.

I don’t take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That’s still there if you want it, but I don’t really seek that out any more.

I don’t think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.

I guess I can go anywhere I want. If only I knew where to go.

I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

Kurt and I weren’t the closest of friends, but I knew him well enough to be devastated by his death. For such a quiet person, he was so excited about having a child.

It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don’t see that same intimacy happening very much today.

Katastrophy Wife - Layne To Rest

Mother’s dead hurts my head
Doctor said take my med’s

I know that things look brighter on the other side, hell yeah
I know I’d feel quite lighter on the other side, hell yeah
I want to go away because my friends are all dead there
I want to sing them songs because my heart’s beyond repair

Layne is dead failed the test
Life’s a mess be my guest

I want to feel the pain of me screaming in your ears
I want to see your fear as I bring you far too near
I want to feel the weight of you pushing me too far
Repeat the frenzy-heat of me burning on your car

Alice said eat your head
Chained to med’s kills Layne dead

Mother’s dead hurts my head
Doctor said no more med’s

Layne to rest failed the test
Life’s a mess be my guest
