i think this long is simply about falling in love, and letting the rest of the world slide away, watching it all from the distance like a fireworks show. But unlike the rest of the world, pop culture, even cold wars (i.e. the fireworks)... "one thing doesn't have to go away" :). |

| Pearl Jam – The Fixer Lyrics

The whole vibe of optimism kind of makes sense until you reach the lines:
"I'll burn as a way to make light
I'll dig your grave..."
Why would you burn to make light? It seems like this part of the song shows the extreme parts of being "the fixer" - when you try to fix everything to the point where you start going insane or maybe because it shows signs of some kind of neurotic attachment? I wonder if this has to do with the Obama administration at all too...not sure

but also remember that this EP is just a bunch of songs that never made it on the earlier albums, not necessarily "new stuff". So they could very well keep going with the style of "we were dead before the ship even sank"..but then Isaac will change eventually anyways, he always like playing with new sounds |

I think this is similar to "tiny cities made of ashes" on Moon and Antarctica...Isaac seems to sing about trying to find a way out of this existance...which for most people is a mundane grind of going to your office job, working hard, coming home exhausted..and then seeing whats on TV: Survivor, big brother, reality TV, shows that talk about nothing, media hosts (i.e. CNN) who talk and gossip about politicians (i.e. nothing of value). Its difficult to say who he is a "scout" for, because then everything would become a bit over the top in my head about a group of people trying to escape reincarnation or something like that..so I won't even go there. But he's definately looking for a better life; whether its him going through frustration about meaninglessness or how God could let life go on in this way, or him trying to be positive and "float on" as he says |
