does anyone know more about the relationship of Lane and Demri? i was looking today a long time to her pics and she looks in one way very sweet and innocent and on the other side she has this dark looks and i wonder if Layne was really happy with her. i know several people addicted to heroin and for shure you can never stop if you re wth a partner who is still a user. mostly all users had real familyproblems in their very early childhood, all people i know using heroin had been left by her mothers in an very early age and someone said h feels like a hug from a mother (just in the first times, after your addicted and it feels like nothing, only stops the physicals pains caused by the abuse)
so i wonder what happened to him at home and what role demri played in his life.
sorry about my poor english

Well I got a bit of info from someone who knew them. We all got the impression of a beautiful relationship. I researched a bit. and the true is that their relation was a toxic one. I’m still checking out if they had an open relationship or they were unfaithful to each other. While with Demri, Layne got it with a mtv reporter and maybe with Hole’s bassist, Kristen (RIP). I though she just walked off maybe because of his infidelities in 94. but apparently was him who broke with her in 93 while he was on tour.

From 94- to her death, her addiction increased to the point where she was arrested in different counties for prostitution. Apparently she had a boyfriend when she died, who was her dealer too.

I always thought this song was about her & their breakup, even when there was very little information about Demri around. I would love to know why they broke up, but the song explains most of it. I think Laynes sounds depressed, heartbroken and bitter on this album, as well as the self titled aic album from around the same time. Thats one of the reasons I think he is such a great singer the way he conveys his emotions through singing.
