"Man in the Box" is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released in 1990 as the second single from their debut album, Facelift. It's one of the band's most recognizable and popular songs.
The song's lyrics, written primarily by Layne Staley, are often interpreted as being about government censorship and media manipulation. The "Man in the Box" represents someone trapped and controlled by these forces. Jerry Cantrell has also mentioned a connection to his stepfather, who was a soldier.
The song is known for its distinctive guitar riff, composed by Jerry Cantrell, and Layne Staley's powerful vocals and distinctive vocal harmonies with Cantrell.
The song's success helped propel Facelift to double platinum status and earned Alice in Chains a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1992.
