The best song ever made. period.

I swear Vedder says sin in there somewhere but the lyrics say sad 9x.

hmmm.
All the photographs were peeling...
And colours turned to grey.
He stayed...
In his room with memories for days.
He faced...
An undertow of futures laid to waste.
Embraced...
By the loss of what he could not replace.

    sad is a pretty cool song but the most incredible song ever by pearl jam has to be either Yellow Ledbetter or Man of the Hour

    all the photographs are peeling
    and colors turn to gray, he's stayin'
    in his room with memories for days, he faced
    an undertow of futures laid to waste, embraced
    by the loss of one he could not replace
    and there's no reason that she'd pass
    and there is no god with the plan, it's sad
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad
    the door swings through a passing fable
    a fate we may delay, we say
    holding on, to live within our embrace
    eleven nights, he laid in bed
    hoping that dreams would bring her back, it's sad
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he could only love you, it's sad
    holding his last breath, believing
    he'll make his way
    but she's not forgotten
    he's haunted
    he's searching for escape
    if just one wish could bring her back, it's sent
    and his holiness is proof, it's sad
    he will always love you, it's sad
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    Cheers for that. Looks like a man beleiving in God when he shouldn't. Not sure if he's been dumped or she's died. I have the same confusion with Pillow of Winds.

    I take it as a man who is haunted by the loss of his loved one and feels the only way to end the hurt and find her is leaving this world on his own terms........it's sad.
