Greatest Line Eddie Ever Wrote

What do the songs mean to you? Pearl Jam's lyrics and interpretations here.

It actually goes "Those who can be trusted can change their minds" I think.

Anyway, it's in B Girl. A song Ed and Jeff played on a radio show I believe.
"Each betrayal begins with trust."

Most meaningful to me:
It makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense

Other greats:
No matter how cold a winter, there's a springtime ahead

Up here so high the boughs they break/ up here so high the sky I scrape/ and my eyes feel both wide open/ and I got a glimpse/ of my inner sense/ got back my innocence/ still got it/ still got it

Even flow... thoughts arrive like butterflies

All of "All or None"
Makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense.

Shows: 05/30/03, 09/02/05, 09/04/05, 09/05/05, 09/24/05, 09/25/05, 07/22/06, 04/02/08 (EV solo), 08/08/09, 08/23/09, 08/24/09, 09/25/09, 09/21/11, 09/23/11... many more to come!

and the cross I'm bearing home ain't indicative of my place... left the porch.
Bic lighter = $1.79
Cigarettes = $6.00
Pearl Jam tickets = $60
12 beers for you and your buddy = $60
gut punched and ejected from a Pearl Jam concert by Rent-a-Cop security for smoking = priceless!"

a lot to choose from, so I'll list a few

"everything has chains
absolutely nothing's changed
take my hand, not my picture
spilled my tincture"
- Corduroy

"i know someday you'll have a beautiful life
i know you'll be a star
in somebody else's sky
but why, why, WHY
why can't it be, why can't it be mine?"
-Black

"let the ocean dissolve way my past
four days and not much longer
let my spirit pass
this is, this is, this is my last exit"
-Last Exit

"I seem to recognize your face
Haunting familiar yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name"
-Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

"We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's,...
Choking on leaves"
-Green Disease

"Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
To find an approach and a way to live...
Are we gettin' something out of this all-encompassing trip?"
-Present Tense

"cannot stop the thought
of running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign
all good truants must decide"
-Immortality

there's more but that's what jumps to mind right now
everything has chains
absolutely nothing's changed
take my hand, not my picture
spilled my tincture...

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

Maybe I'm wrong--but didn't Jeff write this song?

My fav line--all time is offa Breathe, "If I knew where it was, I would take you there, there's much more than this!"

Chills bro, wrote that to a girl in a love letter in high school, and she was mine.
We're gonna need a bigger boat...

Id say the whole Yellow Ledbetter song


"Small town predicts my faith" from elderly woman behind a counter in a small town (acoustic) no idea why I like it, but I do.

And "Lemon Yellow Sun" from jeremy of course I think I like it so much because its so decriptive of how people draw suns.
no matter where you go,
there you are.

Where do you walk when your not around? I don't see you...


In my mind theirs a clearing black clouds blow through grey steel skies, the birds don't even whisper...

"It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth and she's standing outside hating everyone here." - Breakerfall

I've felt like this... I think PJ's catalogue so extense and of such quality that somehow it get's to us all deeply on various emotions.

"Once divided...nothing left to subtract..."[...]"Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking..." - Nothingman

Me turned into the rambling upset freaky monster that resourfaces with every heartbreak...

EDIT: to quote Mohab's "Feel the resonance of distance, in the blood the iron lies.." - Insignificance
