Sea of Sorrow Lyrics

Mind, of destructive taste
I choose to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart lost in the dark
Call off the chase
Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time
I think of you, oh, yes I do
Such a crime
You opened...

    I think the song is once again about his interpretation (Cantrell’s) of his relationship with his father, whom was a Nam Vet.

    My dad was in Nam and he wasn’t the best to live with and although he never really had a bad relationship, it was not ideal or great.

    That is my guess.

    It's clearly a song about a toxic relationship. The other person is posessive and unstable but at the same cold and perhaps sarcastic. The relationship is addictive but toxic.
