Alice in chains rain when i die lyrics

Alice In Chains Rain when I die
Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain

When I die

She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry

Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Prob'ly not, I know why, can't explain me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

Hey everyone, I was listening to Rain When I Die and looking at the lyrics in Spotify and was struck by wondering what if any the official meaning is. It looks like it’s Layne’s lyrics(? Could be Jerry but Down in a Hole was more his love song for the album if I’m not mistaken). Online it doesn’t look as though it’s been broken down by anyone who wrote it, so if anyone has any insight I’d love to hear about it.

My two cents is that it’s Layne musing on the issues between him and Demri and their relationship. It doesn’t look to be specifically about addiction but maybe the whole one trying to get clean and then struggling while becoming frustrated has influence. Maybe splitting up with someone and wondering if they think about you, an agonized cry of someone who’s been cheated on wondering if their partner at least thought of them? It also seems like she wanted to return or mend things ‘she won’t let me hide/she don’t want me to cry’ but he doesn’t or can’t solve himself or figure out how to get to a place that works for both of them. A bit of rambling but in several Native American beliefs, rain when someone dies frees their spirits so maybe he’s saying he’ll only be freed from the guilt and shame of everything when he dies?

I didn’t intend to make this so long but please share your thoughts I’d love to hear what you think this masterpiece means :)

Is she ready to know my frustration? 
What she slippin' inside, slow castration 
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me 
Did she come here to try, try to take me 

Did she call my name? 
I think it's gonna rain 
Oh, when I die 

Was it something I said, held against me? 
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing 
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing 
I can help her but won't, now she hates me 

Did she call my name? 
I think it's gonna rain 
Oh, when I die 

She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry 
Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me 
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me 
Could she love me again, or will she hate me 
Probably not, I know why, can't explain me 
Did she call my name? 
I think it's gonna rain 
Oh, when I die
