- Even flow thoughts arive like butterflies
- she holds the hand that holds her down
- I don't wanna take what you can't give
- are you woman enough to be my man
It Takes ALL to make the song! I have watched many bands do that funny "head nodding" thing when they groove? Ed is the Smooth Voice that says everything. An interpreter? Anyone agree?

To choose just one line seems impossible, there are so many! Yet I like this simple but powerful line
It's an art to live with pain, mix the light into grey.
Nature has it's own religion, gospel from the land.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly...
A few lines actually. Forgive me.

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Reading everyone's favorite lyrics is seriously giving me chills!!
I personally like this one best: "I wonder ’bout his insides. It’s like his thoughts are too big for his size..."

Just wanted to say that when ever I need a little push I love to click on this thread and then a random page. It usually gives me some help if I need it.
Up here so high the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Baby got it, still got it
She holds the hand that holds her down...
She will... rise above...
ed_lvs_me got it right many years ago in my humble opinion
"first he was stripped, then he was stabbed by the faceless men, well fuckers, he still stands"
"God created surfing and Pearl Jam so that the truely gifted, talented and most intelligent people wouldnt rule the world"...adapted from my bumper sticker
I only want life.... to be...
I just want to be...
I will feel alive... as long as I am free...
I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?
...So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
It's growing up just like me.
Comments
so inspiring....

"He reaches for her and the water turns a red hot, woken up to be burnt burnt again" (I may have made up some words there).
And ofcourse the countless other lines that have been posted before.
Having a bit of a blonde moment :oops: what line is this song from?

I stayed where my last step left me.
,..if he can't sleep how will he ever dream again?
no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
every time I get me some it gets the best of me not much left you see
I see the words on a rocking horse of time
Took one from each record. The album that speaks to me the least is Vs.
The one with the greatest collection of lyrics has to be Yield
I will stare the sun down until me eyes go blind
push me and I will resist this behaviors not unique
I want a last breath I don't let out
my small self like a book amongst the many on the shelf
He's okay but wondering about wandering

.........
Leced means what? I looked up the word in the dictionary, it said the word meant an ameboa plant!
then i looked at the origin of the word, and one old english translation said it meant cloak. So how smart Eddie is!
So, what does leced mean in the context of the song to you?
Thanks!
Peace

Paint a picture visions only grey
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames.
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long.
But then, I would probably say the whole of 'hard to imagine'!
And probably every other song :)
I just want to be...
I will feel alive... as long as I am free...
