My InterpretationAll I know is the last verse has to do with Laynes longtime girlfriend.She died from bacterial endocarditis in the mid 90s (infection of the heart valve normally from IV drug use) "Hey, Your weak will won't help her heal her heart Hey, I'll bet it really eats you up" His weak will, his addiction, helped kill her and it ate him up. although jerry has said the song is about his friend in mother love bone, it's not and he is not allowed to say what it is about but if you listen and know your bible it becomes obvious the song is about a fallen angel cast down to earth wrapped in "chains of darkness" in the desert covered with rock and "dirt". For me, I related to being traped in my ex girlfreinds love again.

I'm not the one you know [Verse 2] I look the same outside, nearly me, even though I carry something I hide, underneath the one you know [Chorus] Tell me does it matter if I'm still here or I'm gone Shifting to the after, an imposter soldiers on Are you surprised Black water flows From wells run dry I'm not the one you know [Interlude] [Bridge] The One You Know by Alice in Chains song meaning, lyric interpretation, video and chart position Features Song Lyrics for Alice In Chains's The One You Know album.
