Infallible Lyrics
Keep on locking your doors
Keep on just as before
Pay disasters no mind
Didn't get you this time
No friends left at the crime
Our ship's come in and it's sinking
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin here at the end
Want a third second chance
Put your faith in big hands
Pay no more than a glance
All good things come to an end
This could be good as it gets
How's the view from the fence
You think we've been here before
You are mistaken
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
When progress could be plausible
In the verse we curse ourselves
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin here at the end
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Oh we are tempting fate instead
Time we best begin here at the end
Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before
Keep on just as before
Pay disasters no mind
Didn't get you this time
No friends left at the crime
Our ship's come in and it's sinking
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
Somehow it is the biggest things
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Time we best begin here at the end
Want a third second chance
Put your faith in big hands
Pay no more than a glance
All good things come to an end
How's the view from the fence
You think we've been here before
You are mistaken
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
In the verse we curse ourselves
By thinking we're infallible
Time we best begin here at the end
Of everything that's possible
In the hearts and minds of man
That keep on slipping right through our hands
By thinking we're infallible
Time we best begin here at the end
Keep on locking your doors
Keep on building your floors
Keep on just as before

I agree but also hear more. I think he's recognizing how bad humanity it getting. And he is frustrated because we could do such grate things. But we are are too ignorant to see that things are going to shit ("you think we've been here before, you are mistaken") Really powerful shit! It's not too late!!! We best begin here at the ending!
Listening to this song what came to my mind was the way we're destroying the planet and even though it's getting more and more obvious, we just keep on living our lives the same way thinking we'll be fine anyway... knowing Eddie Vedder's quite concerned with ecology too, I guess that's plausible...
Mocking man-kind for our confidence, stupidity and optimism
Plain and simple—this sound is about climate change/global warming. It’s about ignoring climate change and just going on with your life. “The disaster didn’t get you this time.”
“You think we’ve been here before..you are mistaken.” That is argument Republicans make is this is just normal climate partners that happen with the earth.
Amazing song
Its about love... and someone who breaks it with another amid a self-induced self assured self settled 'state of love and trust,' w/neither recognition of his/her contribution to the collapse nor accountability for the anguish, carnage and desolation residing in the wake of his/her disaffection.
I think this songs a reminder that you have the power to do/change something if you want to. A lot of EV songs/lyrics are like this - makes much more sense...to live...in the present tense!!!
