| Pearl Jam – Immortality Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
When I first heard this song many years ago I believed it was about the containment of the Jews in Germany. It has several references that make sence to that if you put it together in that way. For example: vacate is the word, people were forced to leave their homes, their country, everything they had. Victims in demand for public show: many were beaten and killed on the street by the Nazis. Holier than thou: probably refers to , how Hitler thought his race was supreme and how could he kill because he thought his race was better than others. Stripped and sold Mom, seperated from the mother going into the concentration camps, auctioned forearm: in reference to the tattoos that they recieved in the camps. Whiskers in the sink, all Jewish prisioners had to shave their whole bodys. Some die just to live: I believe that many of the Jews in the camp that new what their fate was, gave in because they knew they were dying for their religious beliefs. I may be totally wrong, but that is what I always thought that song was about. |
