What's up PJ fans! Simply out of curiosity just wanted to know people's favorite Pearl Jam lyric, if you feel like posting a reason why, feel free. Was talking about this with a friend recently and figured more opinions would be better. Mine is from Garden "After all is done we're still alone I won't be taken yet I'll go...with my hands bound I will walk...with my face blood, I will walk...with my shadow flag" these lyrics seem to make me never want to give up on life, no matter how bad things may get you still just have to keep living no matter the circumstances. I don't know just my own interpretation :shock:
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself - EV

    humm.... hard to pick my favorite lyric.

    Sometimes-
    Seek my part... devote myself
    My small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

    Faithfull-
    M.Y.T.H. is
    Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
    We never listen
    Voice inside so drowned out

    I Am Mine-
    We're all different behind the eyes
    There's no need to hide

    There are others but I'm out of time.

    Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them." -- Albert Einstein

    From their earlier, angrier days, I always liked the lyric in Leash: "Drop the leash, drop the leash, get outta my fuckin' face..."


    And always liked I Am Mine's: "I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between in mine."

    And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.

    "I wish that I could hold you... I wish that I had..."

    That's a go-home-and-hug-your-significant-other-NOW lyric if ever there was one...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    "All the rusted signs, we ignored throughout our lives choosing the shiny ones instead"

    Makes me feel that all these girls are missing out by not being with me.

    "How I choose to feel, is how I am."

    Whenever I need motivation, I go to this song.
    I got some if you need it.

    and that is DEFINITELY one of mine as well

    I always loved the lyrics from Habit too.

    Seen it happen to a couple of friends...
    See it happen and the message it sends...
    Taking off for what's an obvious fall...
    Just to see what all the fuss is about...



    Oh, and the entire lyrics for Sleight of Hand. :lol: fucking love that song

    I've never really thought "England" there but I have many times shouted "hooray" as I sang along with it.

    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame...

    I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
    Breathing insecurity out and in...
    If the good lord intended us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates!

    From "The Whipping":

    "Don't need a helmet, got a hard hard head"

    which pretty much describes me.
