Contrary to what everyone else thinks this song is clearly about the plight of Native Americans in the US. To vacate refers to the mass relocation of native americans onto reservations. vengence has no meaning in that they could not enact revenge. To be a truant (or someone without a place in society) as the native americans are. The trap door in the sun refers to a common native american belief in the sun being godlike and was worshipped however when they prayed for the killing and relocation to stop their worship of the sun ment nothing and they seemed to have been tricked into worshipping it. Victims in demand for public show refers to the many circus acts that payed many native americans to "act like indians" in their shows. This song also in its title refers to both the everlasting hate and pain that has been felt by the native americans.
Dude, no. Pearl Jam songs generally fit into 2 categories... internal and external. That is an external conflict. Immortality definitely deals with something that goes on within a person.

@Duder Please tell me more about the trap door sun. Why did they begin believing that suns came artificially? Sun was the original basis for many cultures.

@Duder a truant is someone who actively shirks duty. It's not a displaced person.
