    And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly.

    Chills every time.

    yep...that one is one of my very favorites...

    then there's :

    Did I say that I need you? Oh, did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,..
    No one knows this more than me. As I come clean.
    all is as it will be, as it should be

    Gotta agree with the in my tree line. All of the lyrics in that song are the most underrated greatest poetry I have ever heard!

    quite a few favorites.
    one of which was..

    Do you see the way that tree bends?
    Does it inspire?

    But since my dad passed in January its been..

    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    For you to speak to me

    Just thinking, does this thread have to be just for pearl jam lyrics because if not, my 2 all time fav lyrics are ..

    1) the black crows - my morning song..........


    If music got to free your mind
    Just let it go cause you never know, you never know
    If your rhythm ever falls out of time
    You can bring it to me and I will make it alright
    And if your soul is let go
    Oh you never know, no you never know
    And if your heart is beating free
    For the very first time it'll be alright

    and 2nd.
    Mother love bone.. man of golden words...

    Wanna show you something like
    The joy inside my heart
    Seems I've been living in the temple of the dog
    Where would I live, if I were a man of golden words?
    And would I live, at all?
    Words and music, my only tools
    Communication
    and when i was younger, going through tough times of struggles... this hit a chord with me...

    blind melon, - I wonder....

    All alone the broadening skies
    Under the every night I will lie
    Scratching claw and grip the rails
    Every day my living hell
    Oh God you know I've tried
    I know how hard I tried
    and oh I tried....

    It's probably already been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but...

    "hold me and make it the truth... that when all is lost there will be you... cuz to the universe i don't mean a thing and there's just one word that i still believe, and it's love..."
    to the universe i don't mean a thing,
    and there's just one word that i still believe,
    and it's love... love

    "empty stares acrossed a shared prison cell,
    one just escapes, the other stands inside the well" (Nothingman)

    is one of many, but when I first understood this song that line hit me like a hammer.

    one last one:

    "all the advantages this life's got on me, picture an empty cup in the middle of the sea" -(I got ID)

    I love that line too. Sums up the feeling in the song perfectly

    I feel like going back there but never for long
    I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone

    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    If not for love, I would be drowning.

    Got a tattoo of it, and the initials of my grandfather, mom, and brother, and a small wave, on my arm.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Oh, and I must refuse your test
    Push me and I will resist
    This behavior's not unique
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there....

    He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles
    He made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
    The wind rose up set him down on his knee

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
    Delivered him wings "Hey look at me now"
    .......

    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
    His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
    By faceless men, well, fuckers
    He still stands

    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away


    (I guess it's a paragraph, but I say this to myself when I'm angry)
