What’s The Darkest Pearl Jam Song?

There’s no shortage of PJ songs that touch on dark subjects and soundscapes. Which one would you say is the absolute darkest, bleakest track in their repertoire.

Subject wise, I would say the Alive -> Once -> Footsteps trilogy and really all of Ten qualify, plus Tremor Christ which I always interpreted as selling your soul in either a literal or metaphorical way. 

Sonically, Indifference and Dead Man are both very sparse and spacey, with an increasingly tense atmosphere that drives home the darkness of the lyrics.

A lot of Binaural has a very evil energy to it: Nothing as It Seems, Rival, Soon Forget, Parting Ways.
