I never held you in real life- I got Id

wow, coming to the realization of this recently made me feel like less than zero...super angry at first, then felt like a complete fool, loser, so much disbelieve...so much pain...then numbness. im getting better each day, but after almost 4 years, it's not fucken easy to feel like it was a complete illusion.

i never held you in real life...

what your saddest pearl jam line?

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    "Its a hopeless situation, that I'm trying to believe. That this hopeless situation is what I'm trying to achieve."
    "To myself I surrender, to the one I'll never please."
    "It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that you see,.. it's home..."
    "It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here..."
    "Mondays were made to fall,... lost on a road he knew by heart"
    "The end, comes near, I'm here but not much longer."

    These are the ones that hit me the most.

    A very close second to:

    My last message to you ~

    You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!

    At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!

    wow those are some good ones. for some reason i find this line the saddest in the entire song, always gets to me.. might be because of the regretful undertone it carries..

    "if just one wish could bring her back,
    it's sad"

    That one always gets me right there, particularly the way Ed delivers the vocal.

    I have felt this many times. I wish things would just fall into place.

    Good friend of mine, her bro-in-law got cancer and died. He was 30 odd and left a wife and 2 young kids. So pretty much all of The End.

    I heard the song first around a month after he died. Hit me like a goods train!

    And sometimes you're there
    And you're talking back to me
    Come the morning I could swear you're next to me


    Lost my Dad to cancer almost 4 years ago. I cry every time I hear this song.

    And four years ago me and the brothers and sisters were discussing palliative care for our Mam. Captain C is such a leveller. It discriminates for no one! Hope you have made friends with the sad thoughts. If you can do that, you can bear it, just about.

    "I got scratches all over my arms. One for each day since I fell apart".

    This line gets to me every time I hear it. One of my favorite PJ songs though.

    "I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
    I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

    How much difference
    How much difference
    How much difference does it make
    How much difference does it make..."


    I make no difference ... is just how I felt ... absolute defeat

    I was wrong... we all make a difference

    Me too, I actually find that line sung on Riot Act, and the following line the one of the saddest points in Pearl Jam's music
