I was listening to music when this song came on and I was struck with how well it spoke to Dave's mindset on the day of The Incident.
I do not own Glee or the song.
Barely 18, still a virgin and his life is over. He lays out his best suit, so when he is found he won't look like the loser he knows he is. Ahead lays only darkness and pain. He just wants to end the pain. His life is over, he just needs his body to catch up.
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb... in bloom
Less than a day as his true self and his mother thinks he is diseased, his best friend no longer wants to speak to him and hundreds of so called friends had joined together in a single voice of hatred. They all want him to be someone other than himself. He has spent his whole life trying to be that other person. He doesn't know how to be him. He doesn't want to be him.
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who wont let himself be
Rejected by everyone, he has no where to turn. He could be himself, but he doesn't know how. The one who could help him, might help him be himself, won't.
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' control
I'd like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied
He revealed himself, all his secrets to the one he tormented. Tormented out of fear and longing. Peeling back the layers one by one he slowly let himself be seen by the one. Hoping against hope, but the one turned away. It's what he deserves, loneliness and pain.
Down in a hole and they've put all
The stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath
The song is "Down In A Hole" by "Alice in Chain" from the Album 1992 "Dirt"
