ALIVE

i love this song, and also i have heard many opinions about what the song means.......is it the story of a son getting over a fathers death or is it about the mother wanting her son in a sick way? or maybe both? well like i said before im never sure what songs are supposed to mean so i take what i get from the song i choose to use the song as a way to rejoice the fact that im alive! so i get all pumped up when i hear this ...makes me want to sing and be all happy....
peace

i do wonder sometimes about this song, becuase if it is about a mother wanting her son in a sexual way and it ends up messing the kid up (in the head) for the rest of his life that is a very sad situation........................................................................................

    It's the 1st of the 3 songs that make up the murderer trilogy - Alive, Once, Footsteps. It is a good song if you ignore what it is about. Finding out the "real" meaning of the song made it drop on my favorite list, but I do like it better when I hear it followed by Once and Footsteps (figure that one out).
    "So i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream,
    where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me."

    ''Part 2 of Eddie's mini-opera, which is commonly referred to as the "Mamasan trilogy" (Alive > Once > Footsteps). In Once, the tortured man from Alive doesn't know how to deal with life anymore and loses control of himself. He goes out killing people and becomes a serial killer. ''

    there's a part that goes
    ''While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
    Your real daddy was dyin'..''

    it's relates to Ed. his father died when he was 13...
    he puts a lot of himself in all of his songs...
    luckily he didn't go like the guy from 'Alive', otherwize PJ would never existed
    Pearl Jam pieces...

    This is how I saw it one day: Insignificance at the Porch of Mankind
