"If he can't sleep how will he ever dream" - bad night sleep last night - this song is AWESOME - life is so full of pressure - I start every day with a jog and my PJ section of songs - always start with Given to Fly - love it!!! Would love to know the meaning though
When I first heard this song I was amazed it was on a b-sides compillation.
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
About 4 years ago I lost a friend that took his own life. I remember this song, although the lyrics are very plain and simple, in the context of the music relaxed my mind a bit in a very difficult time.
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
When the sun don't shine? (Shine at all)
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make you smile?
Don't it make me smile?
When the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
Don't it make me smile?
I miss you already... I miss you always
I miss you already... I miss you all day
This is how I feel...
I miss you already... I miss you always
Three crooked hearts and swirls all around... I miss you all day
Don't you think you oughtta rest?
Don't you think you oughtta lay you head down?
Don't you think you want to sleep?
Don't you think you oughtta lay your head down
Tonight?
Don't you think you've done enough?
Oh, don't you think you've got enough? well maybe...
You don't think there's time to stop
There's time enough for you to lay your head down,
Tonight, tonight
Let it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you?
Drifting off and doing all the things...
That we... all do
Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those yesterdays
All those paper plates
All those yesterdays
You've got time... you've got time to escape
There's still time... it's no crime to escape
It's no crime to escape... it's no crime to escape
There's still time, so escape
It's no crime, crime..
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love, yeah
If you're my only one, so could you only one?
I want to be your one, enough...
Your one...your one...your one...
the sun was in clout the sun looked out exposed a trail of mist and spout
ships followed the aciently deceiving friends under the sea.
they wont fight back, im sure they know how.
means they love, or are too proud
they swim, its really free, its a beuatiful thing to see
they sing... ( vedder adds here, its amazing)
hunters of land hunters of see exploit anything for money
i refer to anybody who takes advantage of what that is free
take their lives sell their parts, but theres not taking of there hearts.
(kind of like the war in lebanon right now)
if i was lost at sea that harpoon boat in front of me, its the whale id like to be.
"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." John Lennon
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return, but now here you are, and here i am.
.. oh the winds of change ... i'm stuck beneath the rain .. i wish you could help me up .. out of my mind .. out of my mind .. once inside, i'm out of my mind out .. out of my mind
~i wanna rise .. and say g'nite .. i wanna take .. a look on the other side~

"You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense"
"She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to feel is weak. She could play pretend , she could join the game, oh , she could be another joke."
"I'll not loose my Faith . its an inside job today. oh i know this one thing well."
A piece of my heart goes out with every single one of them. A PIECE OF MY HEART!!!

You think you know. . . . . But u have NO idea
A man lies in his bed, in a room with no door
He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter
After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
As the ceiling at which he's staring
He's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
So, is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
No trade-backs...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...
I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in
I'm open
I'm open
Come in
Come in
Come in
Come in
Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers
He decides to dream...
Dream up a new self... for himself
If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
"You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets

You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself

very simple yet VERY meaningful
Indeed---this one changed the direction I was going--to a much better one.
Thanks Pearl Jam!
PEARL JAM in 2024! Dark Matter and MORE ! THANK YOU!! Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!
thanks to spending the day with a fellow jammer...humming/singing this tune off and on, now i can't get it out of my head either.
If just one wish could bring her back
It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
It's sad... he will always love you
It's sad
also too...looking on pearljam.com, just realized...i was witness to the very FIRST time it was ever played live, reading PA, VFC tour 2004. pretty feckin' cool. :cool:
".....I don't want to hear from those who know...
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes...
I don't want to limp for them to walk...
Never would have known of me before...
I don't want to be held in your debt...
I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed...
I'm already cut up and half dead...
I'll end up alone like I began...
Everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed"
Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference, I'm not trying to make a difference, I'll stop trying to make a difference, no way...
"Everyone wants to be the sun that lights up your life, but I'd rather be your moon so I can shine on you during your darkest hour when your sun's not around."
things were different then, all is different now........
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Seeing as how I'm right in the middle of young and old that line gets me every time.
Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Cause this time I'm gone
In the far off distance
As my tail-lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday
Feel like a question is forming
and the answers far
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town
For the lights of this city
They have lost all feeling
Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time
I'm gone
Just because I am moving in two weeks to what I hope will be a brighter future...don't know why I am nervous about it
Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former.

You think you know. . . . . But u have NO idea
And every night, what I'm waiting for
Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
To the one I'll never please
But I still try to run on
No, I still try to run on
But it's all or none
All or none.

Thoughts arive like butterflies
And he dont know
So he chases them away
those lyrics have been stuck in my head for the longest tyme
He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter
After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank
As the ceiling at which he's staring
He's alive, but feels absolutely nothing
So, is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact
No trade-backs...

I'm open

such a simple, yet meaningful line.
never paid much attention to it, but it really suits the situation i am in right now with a girl. beautiful.
Indeed---this one changed the direction I was going--to a much better one.
Thanks Pearl Jam!
Peace Love & Pearl Jam forever!!
