| Pearl Jam – Given to Fly Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Clearly it is about Eddie.. Think about it. "Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out. He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles." coming from a bad family Eddie moved from chicago to seattle to join Pearl jam, thats hundreds of miles. "Arms wide open with the sea as his floor." Reference to his surfing "But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed by faceless men.Well fuckers, he still stands." About his trouble with the media and how he overcame it. "And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly." As the sea and sky are both blue on real clear days it's sometimes hard to tell the horizon, this, I think is another reference to eddies love of surfing. |
