| Pearl Jam – Hard to Imagine Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Does everyone remember the "Mamason" trilogy? I believe that it has something to do with those 3 songs about the young man on death row. "Paint a picture, using only gray Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames I tell a story, no one listen that long It's hard to imagine" I believe he is still in his prison cell awaiting the day for his execution. He said he would tell a story but no one would listen that long. Like he tried to explain what he was going through and all the crap that happened, but no one was willing to listen to him. "Tear into yourself cuttings on your arm Heart-a-beatin', tickin' like a bomb After having seen all that they saw It's hard to imagine" If you remember in the song footsteps he mentions self mutilation also. He says his heart is beating, ticking like a bomb, to me it means that he is reliving all the murders while he awaits his own death. After having seen all that they saw....it means to me that he couldn't imagine himself doing something like this. As Eddie has stated, the meaning to their songs are what you feel the mean. It can change the next time you hear it!! |
