The song "Between" by Jerry Cantrell tells the story of a journey across different states in the United States. The lyrics mention California, Texas, New York City, and Seattle. The protagonist is looking for something, perhaps a sense of purpose or clarity when he says "try and find my head." He seeks adventure and excitement by swimming in the ocean and fishing. The chorus repeats the lines "Somewhere in between the wrong and right, we fight. It's fair to say that in your eyes I'm wrong, and in my mind that's alright." This suggests a struggle to find balance between two opposing forces, maybe good and evil, or right and wrong. This internal conflict causes tension in relationships, and the protagonist acknowledges that his actions may be perceived as "wrong" by others, but in his mind, they are acceptable. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's experiences, from scratching his nose on a girlfriend's barette in New York City to throwing up in Seattle. The song captures the sense of restlessness and longing for something more, mixed with a willing acceptance of imperfection and the ambiguity of life.
