Awesome lyrics.
Could not have been written better, so true.

    Very much ageed !!

    Underneath this smile Lies everything
    All my hopes, anger, pride and shame

    Make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
    Just for today,... I am free


    All of the songs on that album have amaziing lyrics !!
    I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    The way

    Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
    Pursuing the greater way for all,.. human light.

    is sung, is just out of this world.

    Let me run into the rain
    To be a human light again

    Let me run into the rain
    To shine a human light today

    Life comes from within your heart and desire

    Gives me goosebumps!
    Take me for a ride before we leave...

    One of my all time favorite songs...the intro and lyrics are awesome

    I love the song, its almost like your inside of your head searching.

    It starts off slow, until you find your purpose of introspection, then it snaps to a heavy cresendo. Kinda like you've found what you were searching for. At least thats the way I feel it.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Vedder's lyrics but McCready truly shines in this one! I totally agree! I guess Eddie adds luster in the performance. I like that it deviates from the norm.

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Mike wrote this song. :)

    This song is a gem off of Avocado. Mike did a wonderful job with it.

    There's something beautiful about the self reflection in the song. It's a song that we can all relate to in some way or another.

    it starts off... something yesterday and end up hopeful for the future
    it takes it's time
    the lyrics are perfect
    the singer conveys them captivatingly
    it builds towards a crescendo
    guitar and drum
    leaving the listener wanting more guitar and drum
    not the lyrics, because they are perfect
    the point was made
    ed knows when to let the music take over
    but he still joins in, not lyrically
    but emotionally
    never taking away, always adding
    and this song ends before i want it to
    but it's still perfect

    Probably my favorite song of Pearl Jam. Beautiful lyrics
