Layne Staley has struggled with addiction for most of his career and the pain and frustration that comes along with it is a key inspiration for his writing. “Alice in Chains were at a definite crossroads when they emerged from a three-year concert hiatus to perform an all-acoustic set for the 'MTV Unplugged' series on April 10, 1996. Singer Staley -- whose problems with heroin addiction and subsequent hospitalization to treat them put AIC on hold” (TV’s Most Surreal Music Performances – Alice In Chains On ‘MTV Unplugged’).

Stella confides the inside secret having impulsive aggression, and this doctor – he had sexual relations with patients several times – tells her that it is a natural instinctual drive and recommends its cancellation by killing animals or spurious suicide (reckless driving or gambling). However, she can’t get satisfied with them and kills him at last. The tragic ending of this story that is a kind of thriller, where Moorhead seems to represent sex drive (Libido), so does Stella death drive, is caused because she had believed his opinion.
