Kinda think that some of this has to do with 90s society like already mentioned. The first lines are about Kurt Kobain, (at least those lines seem sorta like his life anyways.. I was an accident, I drove way too fast couldn't stop, let the moment last
It's not the guilt, it's not from the company I keep (IE Cobain didn't blame his fame or his guilt over being famous, in fact he didn't want to be famous at all, and I think he was also referencing some of Cobain's gfs/ courtney love, saying ti wasnt her fault either, it was all on him).
2nd lines could be about OJ.. in a messed up way, or maybe it's the narrator again (this song was written by Neil Young, he just recorded MirrorBall with his friends Pearl Jam. They idolized Neil Young, and btw I think he needed their support in some ways, he took Cobain's death rather hard.. esp since he quoted Neil Young in his note)
Next set of lyrics= about Cobain again.. basically about the pressures of being famous, and looking back saying now matter what he said it doesn't matter now. (the line I can't see you, but I know what's in my way" seems similar to some of the lyrics in Something's in the Way by Nirvana ( which is about Kurt's homelessness)
the next set I have never been positive about but I sorta think it's about the 90s random violence..
Not sure what the next set references either, maybe the 1989 Earthquake in San Francisco?
Next set talks about Vietnam Vets and Vets from the First Gulf War that were left homeless and ignored while people watched and played sports and gambled.. (Neil Young has always been against war and also has helped the Homeless. Watch Keep onRocking in the Free World Video, and you can see him in action walking the streets of LA as a homeless man)
The next set is about OJ and the trial, and all the circus that happened in the mid 90s during the trial...
The last line is about Kurt Cobain, and his death, think he is describing what happened before he found out. He went to bed alone, woke up from a dream and saw the rider (guess this could be Courtney Love, or it could be Nichole or maybe someone else..
