| Pearl Jam – Alone Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Its been a long day at the bottom of the hill She died of a broken heart She told me I was livin' in the past Drinkin' from a broken glass [Im alone, I never wanna be alone Now I, turn to face the cold Im alone, I never wanna be alone Now I, turn to travel home] I walked down to the other end today Just to catch those last few rays I held out my hands and slowly waved goodbye I turn now my eyes up to the sky [Im alone, I never wanna be alone Now I, turn to face the cold Im alone, I never wanna be alone Now I, turn to travel home] She'll come back to me (2x) All alone in its misery those are the real lyrics to "alone".. |

| Pearl Jam – Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i am with DMBgirlz and Benplace.... what feindishloki says is also valid.... from the woman's point of view. a powerful rendition personally i also think its not just about this particular elderly woman "stuck upon the shelf". its about almost everyone who has a stagnant life, not necesarily due to the fact that he/she lives in a laid back small town. through this particular woman, he tells the story of all of us, who have been stuck in life for some or the other reason and then the people who were once part of our lives one day came back - the friends had changed but we hadn't. best line "cannot find the candle of thought to light your name" |

| Pearl Jam – Breakerfall Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this song is about a girl who is on ... the end of the line, inches from the edge of some precipice (in life, not real). and the only possible way she can be bailed out of this precarious situation is if someone welcomes her into his life with genuine love (for her). "its like she's lost her invitation to the party on earth.." just sums her situation up... she is now a "nobody's child" with only her doll to cry to, no human shoulder. voted the best pearl jam punk rock song in an opinion poll by Vault, the official Ten fanclub. |

| Pearl Jam – Better Man Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
not the clearest of PJ songs. i too think its about his mom and dad. she loved him, but he didnt really reciprocate. came home late every night - not necessarily abused her. "she dreams in colour......." i feeel more than the word "red" whats important here is the "colour" bit. like she dreams/imagines/longs for a very colourful married life, as different from this one sided relationship. "Red" is used to drive home that her dreams are of a "bright" warm and vibrant sort, unlike the cold, dark realities of her married life. however she fails to (1) find that "betterman" who will make all those colourful dreams come true and (2) muster enough courage and resolve to tell her husband on the face that she's had enough and now wants to walk away. she did however love this man once (so she cant so easily leave him this way and go) but now that love is waned, so she "lies and says she's in love with him". |

| Pearl Jam – Around the Bend Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
a sort of "goodwish" showered on someone, not necessarily an infant, in the form of a soothing lullaby.... i feel, even if slightly, this song's concept is similar to simon and garfunkel's "bridge over troubled waters"... especially the 2nd part of that song... " sail on silver girl.. sail on by...all your dreams are on their way (off you dream my little child, there's a sun around the bend)...." |

| Pearl Jam – All Those Yesterdays Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| i think its about old people .... and how they try to run away from the inevitable fact that they are slowly and surely nearing the end, by sometimes trying to work harder than their ageing body would allow, just so as to give the impression that they are young and active yet.... " what are you running from, taking pills to get along, ...so no one catches you drifting off" | |
