Lyric discussion by Mojomoon 

Cover art for I Am Mine lyrics by Pearl Jam

Eddie Vedder wrote this in reaction to the June 30, 2000 Roskilde Festival in Denmark where 9 fans were crushed to death while Pearl Jam was playing. Vedder wrote the song in his hotel room before their first show after the incident. FACT!

If that's true then it must be about retreating into his deepest center just to ... cope. beautiful. we all must cope.

@Mojomoon I remember that Day like yesterday. I was so sad I had to work and couldn't go to roskilde that year. But seeing the news at home was terrifying-I had friends over there. I remembered it as being 8 people, but still awful.
