Alice In Chains: Rotten Apple Meaning
Rotten Apple Lyrics
Hey Ah Na Na
Innocence is over
Over
Ignorance is spoken
Spoken
Confidence is broken
Broken
Sustenance is stolen
Stolen
Arrogance is potent
What I see is unreal
I’ve written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I’m crawling.

To me, it is all about heroin addiction and how he knows that he is doomed.
The first 5 lines talk about how now that now that he has used heroin, there is no going back to pre-use innocence. He knows it will take his life (sustenance is stolen) and he is paying the price of thinking it wouldn’t grab him (arrogance is potent.)
Then he says I repent tomorrow, I suspend my sorrow — I’m going to get clean, but not today — I’ll do it when the time is right.
This is my interpretation; of course it could mean many different things.

Being traumatized as a child, growing up and realizing how it still controls your actions and life in adult hood, and having to crawl back to start to learn what u didn’t learn as a result of your childhood trauma to recover yourself and learn how to live as you should have in the beginning
I think the lyrics were inspired by very specific events in the life of the author, but they are described in somewhat abstract terms, and so other people with other struggles can describe their situation using the authors words: the legislature of a state passes unconstitutional laws, affected citizens feel betrayed and attacked by the government that was supposed to guarantee their rights. The government threatens to confiscate property of those who have had their rights stripped away. The politicians believe they will be reelected no matter what they do, so they act with impunity. I look at the world around me and it has become an unrecognizable horror. Yet it is partly my fault. When I was younger I was told that if I voted a certain way it would lead to prosperity. The people who now strip me of my rights gained access to power in part because I voted for them. Now they are so powerful they crush their opposition. My only recourse is to get a bank loan to buy a new house in a different state.
It about adam eating the apple and dealing with the results. I think?
Inanna was an ancient Mesopotamian goddess, also known as Ishtar and Aphrodite. She was a seductress and often used her feminine beauty to control and destroy men. This is a hidden esoteric meaning of the opening most which people are not even aware. The rest of the song is also deeply religious with references to Genesis and occultist ideology.
This song is Satan speaking thru Layne about Eve eating the forbidden fruit and the consequences of that act.DEATH.
Layne overdose,died and rotted for a week before he was discovered. His songs foretold his doom. He was a pawn of Satan. Death was his reward. That’s what he wanted. DEATH.
Throwing away your innocence before being fully grown enough to know the consequences, in whatever form you may do that, then struggling to regain some of your lost innocence. Basically the story of most of our lives.
It’s describing an addict.
This song could be whatever you want it to be that’s the great thing about music a song can take on a completely different meaning to someone than that of the person who wrote it. But if you take its meaning from the person whos singing it ( layne ) then my guess is its about doing heroin/crack for the first time realising you’ve lost your innocence being judged by the people around you now you’ve become a drug addict your fans reaction what I see is unreal the roads you go down being a junkie written my own part laynes legacy when hes come to terms hes going to die theres also hope in this and many of chains songs eat of the apple so young crawling back to start doing this shit so young in life i’m getting cleaned up and starting my life again. Rip layne thank you for your gift to us you are truly missed.
The real meaning is losing your goals in life and starting over.
