Pearl Jam Lyrics

    ------ About the song Better Man performed by Pearl Jam

This song reminds me of me and my ex Gf, she was a really important person in my life, sometimes i thought she felt like the woman in this song (I listened it just a weeks ago) and the only reason we ended apart is because she left the country (exactly 10 months ago) and won't come back. Sadly I still love her, and althought I'm happy because she found a betterman in her new place, I can't deny I'd Like to be by her side her again.

I think my feelings right now can be known through the lyrics of Betterman, Nothingman and Black. I know nobody cares, I just wanted some relief, so if you are reading this I'm really thankful.

Pearl jam makes me laugh, Eddie vedder just ruins this for me. But I find his singing quite comical. Ooooo.. Oooooo yeah, dudoodudoodoodooduuuu.... Terrible. Worst than bob Dylan!

    ------ About the song Long road performed by Pearl Jam

My 17 year old son was killed in a motor vehicle crash this year and through all of the sadness and grief two things stood out: not having the chance to say goodbye and the absence of his presence; I am Catholic and I always was comforted during Mass when the Lord's Prayer is recited as it gave me the opportunity to hold my son's hand as I did when he was a child. This song seems to address such a profound loss. I consider it a prayer and I am grateful for it.

    ------ About the song Rats performed by Pearl Jam

Where to begin... firstly... this track is about SOCIETY ETHICS CAPITALISM AND CONSUMERISM and how it affects PEOPLE. It's about the soulless greedy nature of consumerist societies and how far we have gone from our roots as human beings. Sucking the blood of friends - running in packs there are plenty of references and what it depicts is that even RATS have more morals. Which in itself is ironic as RATS in the English language are considered dirty, unsanitary, plaguing animals or by association a human RAT is considered an untrustworthy sneak thief? The clever part of this track is even Humans are more of a plague than rats... Pure lyrical genius. Also the old Ben quote from the 70's MJ track in there for good measure for Eddie and the bass players nostalgia.

    ------ About the song State Of Love And Trust performed by Pearl Jam

If you read PJ20, or seen PJ20, Eddie Vedder says this song is about being 'faithful'. The person who posted 'cheating on significant other' explained it the best. Eddie has lots of emotions, as do we all, in which we can relate too. He is genius, as another post commented on saying.

    ------ About the song State Of Love And Trust performed by Pearl Jam

Wow emotion, beyond anything anyone would allow us to see and hear. Eddie gives his all, more than what we deserve, letting us see inside him, overwelming, raw'it touches your soul and makes you feel naked. Eddie's honesty makes you feel almost embarresed with its truthfullness, it reaches youe emotions so deeply its almost uncomfortable, eddie is a genius

    ------ About the song Bugs performed by Pearl Jam

Apparently Eddie Vedder said this song is about dealing with the stress and loss of privacy that comes with fame. It's not necessarily the most musical piece I've ever heard, but I like it none the less

    ------ About the song Plush performed by Pearl Jam

Although the sound is similar, this is not Pearl Jam. This song is performed by Stone Temple Pilots who compiled other hits such as "Dead & Bloated" & "Interstate Long Song". Check 'em out!

    ------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam

For the rock 1000, which is held every year by the Rock radio station, this song came in at number six which says a lot about how many people love Pearl Jam and voted for them. I just love this song. I own the album and it is amazing. I love Pearl Jam

    ------ About the song Bushleaguer performed by Pearl Jam

The circumstances may be different, but the "born on third, thinks he got a triple" is just brilliant. Reminds me of the drones running companies with their faux sincerity and their 'go get em' tedium, adding and doing nothing for the bottom line. Bonus points for PJ making the baseball reference, since GWB previously ran the Texas Rangers. Love this tune.
