I love this thread because Pearl jam are an intense band. Some songs are obviouse such as black, but personally I think that RELEASE is well up there. Also DISSIDENT.
For a more 'upbeat' choice which is for me still intense I have to go with LEASH "get outa my fuckin face" And my all time fave RVM
And we're all allowed to dream of the next time we touch.
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
I agree. Some of these are a given such as Black.
There are so many, i'm still having a hard time picking! I know out of the newer songs, cropduster to me has intense and great lyrics. I dunno, I guess footsteps would def be one of the most intense. Betterman is one of my all time favorites as far as the lyrics go. Pretty intense stuff. So true to women who actually live this nightmare in real life. Very Very intense.

Garden, especially since the death of a close freind of mine, has meant a lot to me. It even makes me cry at times.
Why Go makes me think of my sister, especially when she was hospitalized for anorexia and threatened with hospitalization again for her anxiety.
Betterman, like I stated in another post, has helped me get past bad relationships, especially one with a guy who cheated on me numerous times, went to jail, and treated me like a worthless piece of crap. Still, I felt drawn to him, and still do sometimes.
Release is my "getaway" song. When things get rough, this song is my natural high.
Indifference speaks for itself. To me, it's about finally realizing that no matter how much you strive for and how much you accomplish, you'll always fall short of expectations of yourself or others in some way.
Daughter is definitely a powerful one for me. It's about shutting yourself out from the world, not wanting peoples' affection or sympathy, betrayal, cruelty, etc.
Leash is another "freedom anthem", basically stating what Bob Dylan once did in his song "The Times They Are A' Changin"
Originally posted by EDDIEisMINE Okay. All PJ song's have intense lyrics, but which one has the most intense lyrics and what are the lyrics?
I got shit...
An empty shell seems so easy to crack...
Got all these questions don't know who i could even ask...
So i'll just lie alone and wait for the dream...
Where i'm not ugly and your lookin' at me...
And i stare you back...
Oh blue eyes, see them...
If just once i could feel love...
Oh stare back at me, yeah...

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
all of the above, i must agree and of course *
*sleight of hand
*thin air ~ love can keep on moving in both directions
*red mosquito
*given to fly
*state of love and trust
*rats

This is how I saw it one day: Insignificance at the Porch of Mankind
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
