    Great quote on life!

    How about:
    Like weeds, with big leaves, stealing light from what's beneath, where they have more, still they take more..
    Green Disease is a rockin jam! I just wish it was longer, had another verse or two,.,it flys!

    after spending half his life searching he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he stared... he is alive, but feels absolutely nothing... so is he?


    i think, sadly, many of us feel this way, more often than we should.


    (and yeah, i cheated... it's more than a line, but it *is* one thought.)

    Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
    Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time

    "To myself I surrender, to the one I'll never please"

    "Like a cloud dropping rain, I'm discarding all thought. I'll dry up Leaving puddles on the ground. I'm like an opening band for the sun.

    'Life existed long before greed"

    "Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow"

    "No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all"

    "If for once I could feel love, oh stare back at me yeah"

    I usually use a line from a song as my msn name. I've used most of the lines that are posted here. Like others say, it's too hard to pick a best line. I guess it all depends on circumstances. "It's funny how things change so much, it's all state of mind". Great line too. I've never found a line that sounded perfect to me and covers exactly how I feel. I've never managed to express my feelings in one line either, so I guess I'll never find it. Limited as it is, language is a beautiful thing.

    Me I figure as each breath goes by,
    I only own my mind,..

    Seek my part, devote myself, my small self,
    like a book amongst the many on the shelf,.

    I swallowed my words to keep from lying,
    I swallowed my face just to keep from biting,
    I swallowed my breath, went deep, I was diving,..diving
    I surfaced when all of being was enlightened,
    ah dum,,
    Im in hiding, ooohhhhhhhh im in hiding..

    She will rise above...

    Stop light plays its part, so I would say you've got a part...

    Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip...

    And everything is you. Me you, you me, it's all related...

    I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in-between is mine...

    Reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn too fast... (That one is a Stone lyric, right?)

    I am a huge Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder fan.
    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

    I need to note: the above lyrics of Low Light you quote as Ed. - are by Jeff Ament. Kind regards

    it's impossible for me. just when i think he can't top himself, he does.
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    I've heard it a few times from Benaroya Hall cd, but not enough to know it by heart. I'm gonna listen for that line next time.

    that's the song that Eddie got nominated for a grammy for, right?--from the movie Big Fish. I thought that was a great movie. what other films has Tim Burton done?

    "and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything"
    Black

    probably my favourite line
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
