| Jerry Cantrell – 31/32 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Pant size thing is possible, in a funny way. But notice this: The title "is 31/32" on the album, not "31 32". Just geeking out a bit here, but perhaps the slash is significant and he means it as a fraction... like 1/2, 3/4ths, 7/8ths, 15/16ths ... So, 31/32nds. Almost to (the "whole" number) 1, but not quite. Carpenters & DIY folks, you follow me, right? Like being 96% there... I mean, Jerry is not a Neil Peart (Rush) kind of lyricist... he's not that over-the-top cerebral. But I'd wildly speculate maybe he was looking at a ruler or something w/ numbers and was thinking about expressing how something (relationship w/ his dad) wasn't "whole" in his life, but, "ok, it's close enough" or "It’s getting there/healing" somehow. Otherwise, maybe he was just looking for a good country-sounding rhyme. (???) Whatever the significance, still a great little diddy. | |
