parachutes about band?
so last night the lyrics to parachutes were stuck in my head, and all of the sudden i thought, "i don't think this is about a woman at all! i think it's about the band!!" think about how ed uses "love" in so many of his lyrics... so much more than just a romantic kind of love. and lately in several interviews he's been…

Your "Alive" story
So what's your alive story? My father died when I was 14, he died of an accute anurisim it was fatal but not until he had hours of life to ponder his existance without seeing his wife or son. I went the whole day through school unaware of what was going on as my mom chased his ambulance around town since 10am. I was even…

Influence of Nietzsche in PJ lyrics?
Im a huge fan of PJ and just recently started to read Nietzche and the more I read the more I thought about PJ. For instance, "Given to fly" "He floated back down, cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere" Can you quote others?

2010
I'm sure this is a rehashed thread, but I'm new to the messageboard, so can somebody tell me what they think the meaning of "2010, watch it go to fire" is. Is it a reference to the year 2010 and the endtimes?

Last Exit... hmmm....
Just from the lyrics, it would seem like this would be a grim song about death. But the music makes it seem like it's about letting go of the past and starting new. Kind of like Life Wasted. Hmmm..... thoughts? The "three/four days" motif is kind of confusing, also. I think it's about letting go of a troublesome past. Like…

Faithfull
This song confuses me... at times it seems like it criticizes organized religion, at others it seems like it's criticizing religion in general, and at others it seems like it is criticizing agnosticism or athiesm. But there are times when Ed has said that it is just about believing in something and having faith to pull…

Lukin Video!
Dear Pearl Jam, If you really, and I mean REALLY want to be known and relevant again, what you need to do is hire the guy who made you this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5758135381268171833 I know I hate it when people send little video clips and shit around on the internet, going "Oh, look at this!" or,…

Thumbing My Way
Is Thumbing My Way about regret not being able to get back together with his wife? I am in a similar position, and can relate to the notion of "just walking the miles" through the rest of your life. Am I just plain interpreting this incorrectly? I'm thinking about the following lines: "I have not been home since you left…

I'm Open
Far be it from me to criticize a song, but... does anyone else feel like Ed way rushes through some very important words as I'm Open ends? Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers He decides to dream... Dream up a new self... for himself

I got shit!!!
I love this song... it´s awesome... and the lyrics... brilliant!!!! But what is your interpretation about these lyrics?? For me it´s about a guy who´s in love by some girl, but she doesn´t know that or she´s not in love with him, so he only can be with her in his dreams... For me is what this song is about, what´s your…

Has PJ Changed Anyones Lives?
Through Music or lyrics or mabye even through fans (here?) I remember a few years back, I had this idol who promoted the whole 'be unique' thing, I was about to do just that, I died my hair, I wore weird clothes and was trying too hard to put it simply. When I heard Corduroy, I heard the lyric "I'll end up alone just like…

I'm open
I was in bed listening to my ipod on shuffle the other night when this song came on, it's been a while since i heard it and forgot how haunting the lyrics in this song are. A man lies in his bed in a room with no door He waits hoping for a presense; something, anything to enter After spending half his life searching, he…
