Last Exit Lyrics

Cover art for Last Exit lyrics by Pearl Jam

This song is about how fame open lives and ruins them by turning them into marketing. Fame can be fleeting & after a little time, no one will remember your existence. During the song, lots of metaphores lead to the understanding of running away and letting natural things destroy what's left of the person, just like the sun and the oceans (references vocalist Eddie Vedders surf passion). Closing the song, Eddie insists that his existence remains now under a strong decision of being depersonalized because, out of desperation, this is his last exit for survival.
