Fatal is un-understandable.
I have no idea what 'fatal' is about. i have been listening to it before bed for the last few days. can some intelligent,brilliant and poetic people shed some light... well, i do know that interpretations are personal, but for this one i couldn't be any more imaginative... how good is he? how warm are his eyes you'll see…

lyrics are personal
I started a thread about Satan's Bed and mentioned something personal about e.v. which is connected to the song. I guess this went against guidelines and the thread is gone. When there is a criticism of lyrics, words, art, most of the time the artist's life is taken into consideration. Can you seperate the artist from his…

~Show Some RVM Love~
okay, a raise of hands of who LOVES this song! :D this song has gotten me through several rough times in my life, especially during my break up. This song is TOO powerful. From the beginning to the middle of the song, and then the climaxic ending. what more can you ask for a song? This band just gives us TOO much. This…

Black debate - Am I crazy?
Ok, so I see many people and lyric websites showing this - "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star" I could swear I saw an official PJ songbook for Ten with this - "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a sun" After listening to Black and listening very close, I'd swear…

something about an "unworthy band"?
I heard this live playing of "Mankind" and at the end Ed says something like, "alright, here's a song that some unworthy band was trying to play last night, at some award show or something. Well, we're going to stomp on them by showing them how it's really done. And to all these corporate cocksuckers..." Anybody know what…

One of the funniest PJ lyric misconceptions
My friend was listening to "Sad" with me the other day, and for the first line of the second chorus he thought it said "He likes to masturbate in bed." When the real line is "He lights a match, he lays in bed." Funny stuff. Thank you Eddie for making us all wonder what the hell it is you're saying.

Funny/Odd Interpretations
Songs can be interpreted many different ways, which is why music is so great. That is unless you are into this emo punk crap, and country music, but that's aside from the point. I want to hear funny and strange interpretations of Pearl Jam songs from everyone. I'll begin (of course). Ever since I've had the Vitalogy album,…

given to fly
this song reminds me of my life alone and wanting to leave a bad situation, and get the heck out of here go for hundreds of miles. My favorite line from the song he made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree, the wind rose up set him down on his knee" I dont know what Ed was thinking when he jotted this one down but im…

She dreams in color
So I'm looking at my daughter's graded paper, a sleep log she kept for a week. The teacher wrote a comment, "Most people dream in black and white" next to where my daughter mentioned she had a dream in black and white. Is that true? Do most people dream in black and white? I don't recall ever having dreamt in anything but…

Influences on Eddie's songs
So I was wondering what effect Vedder's split with his wife had on his song writing? I know this borders on "band member's personal lives", but at the same time, it is still a legit and meaningful question on their music -- whenever I've split with girls, it's affected my music and song-writing. I think No Code shows this…

Yellow Ledbetter Revelation...
Not sure why this didn't occur to me before...I always thought YL was about a family receiving a soldier's death notice...but I didn't realize until today that the story is told from the perspective of the dead soldier. The people on the porch don't wave because they don't see him (the soldier)...because he's dead. the "I…

Poems that Remind you of Eddie's lyrics
This poem by Pablo Neruda comes to mind.. " Right, comrade, it’s the hour of the garden and the hour up in arms, each day follows from flower or blood: our time surrenders us to an obligation to water the jasmines or bleed to death in a dark street: virtue or pain blows off into frozen realms, into hissing embers, and…

How can you distinguish a top 5?
When someone posts a song, inevitably people respond with "definitely in my top 5." I'm not saying that a given song isn't in those people's top 5's, but for me, I could never narrow a list to 5 or even 10. how do you put dissident ahead or behind betterman, or Go ahead or behind Evenflow, or Down ahead or behind…
