Cover art for Eons lyrics by 311

This song has had so much meaning to me since the first time I heard it. To me, Eons is a song about how hard life gets sometimes, and how most people would love to just throw their burdens and problems on other people and have them take care of them. This song talks about how most of the time you don't realize that you feel hatred towards some people because they carry the same qualities that you hate in yourself. When you have a problem, don't blame other people...just "shut it down" and learn from the experience, and move on.
