the song has no meaning its a bunch of mumbo jumbo i mean the music is great but im sorry the words kill it for me unless some one here knows the inspiration eddie had or the meaning eddie had behind this song then that would really help me get into this song but from the surface its just random. So if you can a quote from some one in the band to just tell me what this song means... thank you

It does have meaning.
For me the children's book, movie release 10/16, Where the Wild Things Are comes out in the lyrics. I have made a post Where the Wild Things Are detailing this, but only a few have commented.
You are right the music is great, but the lyrics are too.
"All the thoughts,... You never see,... You’re always thinking,...
Brain is wired,... Brain is deep,.."
I think of my 6 year old son who is ALWAYS thinking whenever I listen to this song. Anyone else out there with boys know where I am coming from.
Peace.
PERIOD
Agreed
And "worsed"? What the hell does that even mean?
And "Unthought Unknown"? That song's not even on the Backspacer album.
What you meant to write was, "unthought known is the worst" and even then you were horribly wrong.
the above will give you EV's insight on each and every song on Backspacer.
hears what he said about Unthought known:
“It's about a conversation with Catherine Keener, and a book – I think it might have even been called Unthought Known . I got back late to my hotel in New York, and I pushed it that extra hour. I pushed the limits of how much you can drink and smoke, and this song came out of it. I think the thought of the song is that there are things that you know, and they're in us, but we just haven't thought of them. But they're there, and we base decisions on them.”
It was pointed out to me after I made the Where The Wild things Are connection that Catherine Keener plays Max's mother in the movie. Very cool.
If you have never read the book do so while playing Unthought known.
i'm never out to get every meaning behind every word of Ed's ... I've just been takin in, gratefully, whatever Pearl Jam give, for a very long time now, and it all just emcompasses me, shapes me, fucks with me, pains me...but guides me as i go on.... consciously, subconsciously... and unconsciously:) ... but that's just me...
Just because you don't understand something don't go calling it "the worst" or, even "the worsed".
Read some of the ideas about the song and maybe you'll grow to like the words a bit more.
I think it's a song about ideas. Beauty vs. negativity. What is a person to choose? A trip to the moon or a day by your own personal garbage dump?!
I also think it's meant to remind people that they create their own world to live in by what they choose to think about and do.
You're being overly critical. Evre thought of a job at Pitchfork? :roll:
I for one was not critical, just offering insight dude.
Hope you find peace life is too short.
for the least they could possibly do
