"no matter how cold the winter there's the springtime ahead" TMW

Fantastic lyric.

Ms. Progressive · January 2005

"...and if hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done."

LittleSecrets · January 2005

Ok I think this is Jeff's but I love this one...

Stunned by my own reflection, it's looking back, sees me too clearly and swore I'd never be here again. ~Pilate

Some more current favorites...

And he who forgets, will be destined to remember.~Nothingman

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off.~Wishlist

Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent, seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get.~Soon forget

She holds the hands that holds her down.~Daughter

"No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead..." I love that line.

I am mine · January 2005

Impossible to pick just one....

My favorite is: I know i was born and i know that i'll die, the inbetween is mine, I am mine....

and the one from my signature ofcourse......

LovesLikeSuicide · January 2005

There is far too much greatness to possibly pick one line.

given2fly5 · January 2005

"All the advantages this lid'es go on me, picture a cup in the middle of th sea."

"When I surfaced all of my being was enlightened."

"Twisted thoughts that pin around my head."

ellamyles · January 2005

"It's egg rolling thick and heavy, all the past you carry"

"Are you woman enough to be my man"

Will · January 2005

Let's face it, there aren't many songs in the Pearl Jam catalogue that don't have at least one great line.

Just one example.

In Hiding -

"I swallowed my words to keep from lying.
I swallowed my face just to keep from biting."

don't see some men as half empty... see them half full of shit.

always funny

sennin · January 2005

-Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place so near to her

-It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind.

-So I’ll just lie down and wait for the dream
Where I’m not ugly and you’re lookin’ at me

-All that's sacred comes from youth

-you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself

Soldier_Of_Love · January 2005

Here are some of my fav's...

"This land is min, this land is free. I do what I want and Irresponsibly..."

"Daddy didn't give attention...ohh...to the fact that mummy didn't care..."

"sometimes he sees a strange spot in the sky, a human being that was given to fly" I know it's jeff's amazing mind that created this one, but it's freaking awesome. Actually that whole song is full of gorgeous lines. another is

"He floated back down cause he wanted to share the key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere."

There are so many aren't there! I love Pearl Jam!!!!

I think he is an amazing writer. What his words mean to us is ussually a personal interpretation which is the beauty behind art, music etc. However, I feel there are some often some genius of brevity that comes out of his pen, meanings that are universally understood, some more ambiguous..anyone have any favorites?
Feel free to share !

My personal favorites:
"Clouds roll by, reeling is what they say,
or is it just my way?" -Lowlight

"He who forgets, will be destined to remember"-Nothingman

he didn't write low light - jeff did - anyway - it is a good line nonetheless.

- "..Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll ever be..." Black

- "..and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head..won't you help me..help me from myself.." SOLAT

eddies grrl · January 2005

I hate these threads, b/c there's no way I can pick out just a few great ones. He's brimming with them. And depending on my mood, they all mean something to me.

Right now, I'm thinking of:

Gorgeous was his saviour
She's drowning in his wake

thisideup · January 2005

A lot!! I think that i can't take only one (or 25), but one of all is the final line from black:I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be the star in somebody else's sky why can't it be mine. When I heard(excuse me, it writes this way in past tense?) it and understand it for first time I thought: " What kind of bitch!!! Poor boy, if someone tell me something like this I'll never let him anyway!!!!!" It's very beautiful.

Aband4theSun · January 2005

This is my first post ever... Hello all! I hope I do the forum justice with it!

LittleSecrets read my mind, and how tough is it to follow the post right before me, but here goes (I apologize now if I mis-quote)

- i wish i was the full moon shining off your camaro's hood

And the one that has sat on my brain ever since I heard it:

- I'm like an openning band for the sun (this is the one I hope I quted correctly)

little_wish · January 2005

Welcome to the board Aband4theSun!!!!
I love Tremor Christ so my favourite lines are from that:

- I'll decide. Take the dive.
Take my time, not my life.
Wait for signs, believe in lies.
To get by, it's divine.

Ali · January 2005

I am the shoreline..you are the sea....:):):):):):):)

Try to forget this...
Try to erase this...
