I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me but who came up with love?
Push me pull me push me or pull me out
Push me pull me or pull me out {2X}

So if there were no angels would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
Somewhere nice make it nice
Where the land meets high tide
Push me, pull me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me? {2X}

Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me {6X}
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine, still in it?

    This song is existencialism at its very essence. I really identify myself with these lyrics because they perfectly represent my innermost conceptualization of life: a brief travel through universe. "We're all just visiting... all just breaking like waves". On these few verses Pearl Jam makes a very strong statement of the futility of life, from the point of view of being impossible to avoid our final destiny of emptiness and forgetfulness.

    I also feel like an opening band for the sun...
