    Personally I don't have any interest in analyzing it much beyond that but there's definitely a theme

    Yes, this album is about Eddie's imminent divorce. Just like Parting Ways was about the bands imminent break up and retirement.
    Back in 09 people were freaking out that The End was the final song on Backspacer :lol:

    Oh wow.  My divorce hearing is May 20th.  This is perfect timing!  Hooray!!!
    She got the house.  I got my 10Club number.     
    Oh shit, sorry to hear this Lew. I hope you are doing ok and this is going to be a positive thing in your life. 


    Hi Paul!  No worries.  It's a positive change for me.  It was a very caustic relationship- borderline personality disorder.  I felt totally trapped.  I'm much happier and healthy now.  I'm in a great little town in a peaceful house with my daughter.  We have house plants!  We have both of the dogs!  I'm able to breathe again.  There's definitely life after divorce.

    It's a recurring theme in a few of the songs, so I'm going to assume it's autobiographical. Can't see him being that gripped by someone else's relationship issues.

    He's written plenty of songs that are telling stories about characters he makes up. "Better Man" is a prominent example of a song about a strained relationship that is not about him.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Speculating that the lyrics suggest a certain topic is one thing, however, speculating about a band member's personal life is not ok. The band's personal lives are private. Gossip, not ok. Please don't do it.  It's all in the Posting Guidelines: https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/228366/forum-posting-guidelines

    Thank you
