The Alice In Chains song "Over Now" which is essentially a song about the band breaking up would become a bit of an eerie prophecy following Layne Staley's passing because it would go down in history as the final song on the final album featuring the late singer. As Guitarist Jerry Cantrell told Request Magazine:

"That's about the band. It's about the breakup that took place between us. Those lines "Can you stand right here and look me in the eye and tell me it's over?" We couldn't, when it came right down to it. Even if it ended today, though, I love the guys in this band, even if we never recorded again. I would be sad, but if it came down to where it's killing us and we're growing too far apart... It's like that line, "When it's all worn out, I'd rather go without."" - Cantrell, The Dimmer Twins, Marc Weingartner, Request Magazine (Feb 1996)

Drummer Sean Kinney would also add:

"Yeah, the last thing we'd want to do is fall on our faces in front of 30,000 people every night. We didn't want to end up like fat Elvis, doped up on pills, crying onstage in Vegas." - Kinney, The Dimmer Twins, Marc Weingartner, Request Magazine (Feb 1996)
