| @[musicnuts:48521] no that is wrong. It is about the women Eddie Vedder went to high school with and how they will never be able to get over the fact that they could have hooked up with an International Rock Star but instead have to settle for some blue collar loser and it will literally drive them to the brink of insanity knowing what they missed out on | |

Eddie Vedder wrote this song with a specific meaning in mind, and the lyrics were changed to make them more palatable to a 90's grunge audience. Here's the unedited lyrics and meaning.... >THIS SECTION IS ABOUT HOW SHE IS IN AN UNSATISFYING RELATIONSHIP WITH A SUB PAR MAN WHO DOESN'T MEET HER EXPECTATIONS. HE WORKS NIGHT SHIFT IN A BLUE COLLAR JOB AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE KIND OF LIFE SHE DESERVES WHEN SHE COULD HAVE HAD EDDIE VEDDER Waitin', watchin' the clock It's four o'clock, it's got to stop Tell him, "Take no more" She practices her speech As he opens the door, she rolls over Pretends to sleep as he looks her over >THIS SECTION IS ABOUT HOW SHE LIES HER HUSBAND AND SAYS SHES IN LOVE WITH HIM, WHEN REALLY SHE'S IN LOVE WITH EDDIE VEDDER. ("SHE DREAMS IN CAUSE SHE DREAMS OF ME" IS HER DREAMING OF BEING WITH EDDIE VEDDER WHILE SUFFERING LAYING NEXT TO HER HUSBAND) THE SONG IS ABOUT MOST OF THE WOMEN HE WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH, HOW NO MATTER HOW GOOD OF A RELATIONSHIP THEY GET IN THEY WILL ALWAYS KNOW THEY BLEW THEIR SHOT AT HOOKING UP WITH AN INTERNATIONAL ROCK STAR (EDDIE VEDDER) She lies and says she's in love with him Can't find a better man She dreams in cause she dreams of me Can't find a better man Can't find a better man Can't find a better man Oh >SO THIS SECTION IS ABOUT HOW SHE'S LITERALLY GOING INSANE AND CAN'T HANDLE SETTLING FOR A LESSER MAN ANYMORE WHEN THE MAN SHE WANTS (EDDIE VEDDER) IS AVAILABLE. HER HUSBAND DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT SHE'S SNEAKING OFF TO THE VIP AFTERPARTY OF THE SEATTLE CONCERT TO HOOK UP WITH HIM AND CONFESS HER LOVE TO HIM (EDDIE VEDDER) Talkin' to herself There's no one else who needs to know She tells herself, oh Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to come along Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone She lies and says she's in love with him Can't find a better man She dreams in cause she dreams of me Can't find a better man She lies and says she still loves him Can't find a better man She dreams in cause she dreams of me Can't find a better man Can't find a better man Can't find a better man >THIS SECTION IS ABOUT HOW SHE HOOKED UP WITH HIM AND IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF HER LIFE BUT HE DOESN'T WANT A RELATIONSHIP SO SHE NEEDS TO RECONCILE IN HER BRAIN WHAT SHE DESERVES VERSUS WHAT HE IS WILLING TO GIVE HER (BEING A GROUPIE). SHE DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS WAY (MEDIOCRE LIFE WITH HER HUSBAND) AND SO SHE DECIDES THAT SHE WILL BE ONE OF EDDIE VEDDERS GROUPIES AND ADJUST HER DESIRES TO SUIT THIS She loved him, yeah She don't want to live this way She needs him, yeah That's why she'll be back again >THIS IS FROM EDDIE VEDDERS PERSPECTIVE ANNOUNCING THAT HE IS THE BETTER MAN THAT SHE DESERVES I am the better man (I am the better man) I am the better man (I am the better man) I am the better man (I am the better man) I am the better man (I am the better man) |
