What song has the best lyrics?

One of the best songs i think that has been wrote by eddie would be Alive because It has extra meaning to me because I learned who my real dad was when I was 13 and at the time the doctors told me he had cancer. I liked Pearl jam and I Knew the song but when I learned all this About my dad the words fit into place.

Stone-Thin Air (My song to my Girl)

Did Jeff write Nothing as it seems?
I Wish I was as Fortunate as Fortunate as Tennesse....

    i think sleight of hand has the best lyrics
  • shareshare Posts: 551
    wow - how hard is that to peg down!!!

    i love sleight of hand and in my tree

    present tense is like that great story you read
    to your kids - it's so beautiful, a life lesson

    i can't just leave it at three - pretty well all the
    songs have some special meaning to me, they've
    all captured a moment in my life or something that
    somebody I know has gone through

    well - ok - maybe not lukin, but I do live
    close to scarborough so give it time
    (bad canadian reference but what the heck)

    to forget what summer looks like

    bummer on the snow......

    was it a lot or just enough to say it snowed?
  • I have had to choose 5 songs, which took some doing!

    However I have gone for the following:

    Smile - This song shows that people can have an immense impact on your life, but as we all realise we dont figure this until we loose our loved ones. Also that when you do loose a loved one you can look back on the good times and 'SMILE'. Eddie really came good with this track.

    Cant Keep - Goes to show we have no power over our time on this life, we should live it to the maximum and enjoy ourselves. I think this track came about due to 9/11, Vedder is really reflective on here about life and how we are really just here as part of a cycle. But enjoy it while you are here.

    Wishlist - Really simple track but it really hit me, we all have gone through this when we think we have seen the girl/guy of our dreams but no it will never come true. And you do wish you were something else to get closer to that person.

    Black - What can be said about this song that has'nt already been mentioned a thousand times before. Awsome.

    In My Tree- this represents the mind, place we all can go to and be ourselves, you know! To escape the mad world, sit back reflect on life or whatever. Or in my case when you play music on your headphones and I go into another world of dreams and escaping stresful thoughts etc.

    Well thats my choice, out of note the following just missed out:

    I Got Shit
    NothingMan
    Present Tense
    1/2 Full
    Long Road
    Oceans
    Who You Are
    Somtimes i know, sometimes i rise,sometimes i fall,sometimes i dont,sometimes i cringe,somtimes i live sometimes i walk,sometimes i kneel,somtimes i speek of nothing at all,sometimes i reach to myself dear god

    official redmosquito#3
  • I wish that I could pick one song that has the best lyrics, but I find it impossible. I have a few favorites though.
    Black
    Elderly Woman
    Given to Fly
    Nothingman
    In my Tree
    Present Tense
    Save You
    Sleight of Hand
    etc....
    the list goes on and on!
    Heather
    know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
    like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds - "Off He Goes"
  • I would have to say that the following are some of the best, lyrically:
    corduroy
    satan's bed
    sleight of hand
    porch
    and ive been into "untitled" lately
    Spin the Black Circle!

    i can or i need to say that it's :
    TREMOR CHRIST

    and

    DEAD MAN this song is a b side and i really don't know why it's a great song ...
    such a lyrcis eats your brain out ...melodys melts you heart ...i think it's all made by ed ..

    listen to it and till me what do you think !!!
    abragadabra milk life...
    we love you.
  • I like the line out of Back "i know someday you'll have a beautiful life i know you'll be a star in somebody elses sky but why cant it be mine"

    But there are to many songs that i can relate to. Anything from Eddie is fine by me.

    i too can relate to this.whether it's in the same way you do..who knows?believe it or not,this song helped unblock memories i wish had stayed hidden..i'm having trouble dealing with the consequences of this new found knowledge..i can't speak it..so i write..in my journal,i tell all..to other people,i hint..not good for me i know but that's how i was raised..the good old f---ing british stiff upper lip.....
    "heaven doesn't want me
    and hell's afraid i'll take over"

    fear of death is gain

    scratching the walls of my glass coffin,scraping, raping my nails on the glass on the bottom..is there no end? when will this end? if i was u, i'd fucking hate me too

    rock bottom's safest place to be..
    ..you can't fall any further

    life aint a bitch..it's jeffrey dahmer

    how 'bout arc?! heh.


    yeah, what they said... how do you pick just one? or 30? depends on what strikes a chord within each of us. or just something beautiful and amazing that moves you. or just makes you break into a sh*t-eating grin and scream, "i love this f*cking band!"

    love: thin air. how to be happy and true, is the quest we're taking on together

    loss: thumbing my way. if there was a key you took it in your hand. there's no wrong or right, but i know there's good and bad, the questions linger overhead

    disillusionment: sleight of hand. he found himself staring down at his own hands. not remembering the change, not recalling the plan. was it...?

    joy: faithful. like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this: we're faithful, we all believe

    futility: i'm open. after spending half his life searching he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared. he is alive, but feels absolutely nothing. so is he?

    confidence: driftin'. my road it may be lonely, just because it's not paved it's good for driftin', driftin' away

    hope: in my tree. my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse, of my innocence. got back my innocence. still got it. still got it

    disgust, coupled with pity: soon forget (for me this one's a kind of a f*ck you to an ex, who lost himself) sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent. seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get

    hahahhahahahaha: olympic platinum. i will get up. and i will win. i will win my, my olympic dream

    and just because i really like this part: push me pull me. i've had enough. fair enough. felt enough, i'm fine now. see ya later.


    well, i guess pretty much everything makes me scream, i love this f*cking band! 'cause i really, really do. really.
    you paid to get in, you're free to leave.

    can't believe i forgot this one. not one of my fav songs, but love these lyrics. gotta give props to jeff.

    pilate: stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back, sees me too clearly and i swore i'd never go there again

    Down
    Man Of THe Hour
    In My Tree
    Present Tense
    Faithfull
    I'm Open
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing
  • Oh well it's gotta be BUGS. j/k

    I think I am gonna cast my vote for Garden and Release. They are similar in tone and message in my opinion.

    a song off of "lost dogs" titled "dismisal"

    How good is he? how worn are his eyes, you'll see its not a reprise;
    that he arrives, too late and to tethered away to put on his and his tie.
    How good is he? how warm is his hard earned ego telling him which place to park. that he relays, the message is clearly, hardly grounds for dissmisal i write
  • I have to say:
    Corduroy
    I Got Shit
    In My Tree
    Rearviewmirror
    Drifting
    Parting Ways
    All or None

    But honestly, I could make a case for damn near every song of their's.
    Can't Touch the Bottom:
    10-20-01/ 10-21-01/ 2-26-02/ 12-6-02/ 12-8-02/ 12-9-02/ 6-1-03/ 6-2-03/ 6-3-03/ 6-5-03/ 6-6-03/ 10-25-03/ 10-26-03/ 10-28-03/ 9-1-05/ 9-2-05/ 7-13-06/ 7-15-06/ 7-16-06/ 7-18-06/ 7-20-06/ 7-22-06/ 7-23-06

    i think the end of black or in drifting when he says "...my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved..."
  • Given To Fly has to up there

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw...delivered him wings 'HEY, look at me now'
    Arms wide open with the sea as his floor...He's FLYIN
    Wave came crashing...

    That would be "Fatal", not "dismissal".

    I think "Nothingman" has the best lyrics.

    Yes, anything from Pearl Jam is more than fine, is amazing , because the most part of the time (when the band wrotes something) is with their souls, their hearts. But they are human beings, so yes, somethings don´t please some peoples...
  • TheSkyEtcTheSkyEtc Posts: 66
    kinda hard to answer that..

    Indifference
    Bugs
    Tremor Christ
    In my tree
    Given to fly
    Wishlist (definitely)
    Sleight of hand
    Parting ways
    Thumbing my way
    A whisper through a megaphone

    long road... it is such a great mourning song. i dont think anyone really caught on to it untill ed mike and neal played it for the vh1 comp.
    He who forgets will be destined to
    remember....
  • My favorite is Black but I will have to vote for Footsteps for some reason this line just cuts right through to my inner core..."i got scratches, all over my arms
    one for each day, since i fell apart"

    I guess it reminds me of one girl I met while working at a of home for abused girls...this one girl watched her father's girlfriend murder him and she became a "cutter" as a teenager. She had a lot of scars on her arms.
