Meaning that the person wrote the lyrics and the music. For jeff it's nothingman, eddie its off he goes or lukin, stone its of the girl IMO. Overall I'd have to say Jeff's nothingman, hits home every time.

    Also. . Jeff wrote the music to Nothingman, but those are Ed's lyrics.

    Yeah I think a lot of people get confused because the Vitalogy liner notes say "All music written by Pearl Jam except Better Man (Vedder), Nothingman (Ament) and Satan's Bed (Gossard)" in the middle of the page but down in the bottom right hand corner it says "Lyrics: Eddie Vedder"

    Ahhh, I'm so dumb, I always thought those lyrics were a little to deep to be written by anyone on the planet other than eddie, my bad. Guess I'll go with off he goes then... It also hits home every time.

Despite the convincing DNA evidence that surfaced over a year ago or longer, there was NO BLOOD AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME, just a confession from a mentally challenged teenager, I know a few mentally challenged people, I could convince them to admit to a murder in 30 minutes, let alone a 5 hour interrogation by 3 detectives and no food or water....)
