I am Mine!

bigsky

This song moves me! How about you and what does it mean to YOU? I am short on time. I will share tonight at work if I get time

Thanks!



The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocents broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
(We may need to hide)

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
There's no need to hide

I really like this part of the lyrics:

The agony it arises in me is somehow relieving.

To know that no matter what happens, one can still be his own.
And yet the antagonizing effect never to have someone that would then be 'yours'... (at least in my case ) it has on the hope it irradiates....

Never mind, life is ours, we're safe tonight !

I am mine.
i am not right and i am not wrong.
one should not judge others for what they see.
a hard task to obtain.
behind the eyes is you.
hopefuly you, is beauty.
no matter what happens to me, beings i am mine, no one has my own.
this being said in this life we know here and now, is in this clock.
our ticking clock, a stop watch, ready, set, go, stop.
inbetween ready set go, and stop, i am mine.
let the games begin.
but maybe i can share my, i am mine, with some hot ass f'in sex crazed
chicy who will share her, i am mine, with my, i am mine.
maybe making a lil i am mine or 2.
haha.

Uninspired

this song is about living like every other pearl jam song except dirty frank

wolfbear

Yep, love this song. My fav line is: :I know I was born and I know that I'll die
the in between is mine."

It's my tattoo! Would have gotten the whole song done, but that's a lot of f'n ink. http://www.tattooedeverything.com Page 4

actually, if you look at the official liner notes ... ed vacillates between all the "innocents" and all the "innocence" lost at one time.

Those two lines mean two different things. I love that about ed's writing.

It's akin to Daughter -- "young girl ... violins(ence)."

jamjam

i like the lines we're all safe tonight.

I Am Mine is truly a great celebration of being yourself and getting on with life, both of which can be difficult at times. It was the first song I took an instant shining to on Riot Act and is still one of my favourites.

I am mine is one of my favorite songs of all time. When I first heard It I thought RA would be HUGE!! Still dont understand why it wasnt but there are endless threads about that stuff.

I love that song though, I play it all the time...in fact...gimme a sec im gonna play it...ok, got that outta my system for now. We have a guitar in our office.

I think that song is about accecpting yourself, accecpting the world around you, and finding power in yourself.

eMMI

I love love love the song!

when I first heard the lyrics, I fell in love.

like already said, it's about being who you are, all through your life.

One of the first PJ songs I heard! I love it so much....
I always loved:
The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

prodacake

got to be in my top 10 PJ tracks,

Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

josevolution

I agree with you on the 9/11 reference, I think it's an indirect response to trying to move on after something so horrific. I disagree with you on not listening to it, I always do because it has some kind of emotional connection with me.

"Indirect" response? I kind of think of this as PJ's "9-11" song. To me, it is their DIRECT response to 9-11.

xavier mcdaniel

fair enough, i say indirect because it doesn't specifically say the events that happened but i can certainly see the direct response point of view.
