| Pearl Jam – Nothing as It Seems Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I don't think Downs or Homeless. I think about Klinefelter's Syndrome *extra chromosome*. I think about a male who feels he can never achieve masculinity, no matter what. And his self-abuse *heroin/methadone* is a product of this feeling of inadequacy according to societal norms. I don't read *home* as being back at a childhood place. I read it as a safeplace where no one can pass judgement on him. I guess that is more in alignment with the Gender Identity conflict theory. This is an incredible song with perplexing, yet moving lyrics. | |
