I think this is their second best song all time behind Even Flow. Makes me feel alive every time I hear it. 'Now I hold the broken glass, of what was everything'.

Decipher the lyrics, find the true meaning, and you will agree with me. If you've been heartbroken, listen to this song. I really don't think this song needs much arguing to be considered Pearl Jam's best, and it also happens to be my favorite song of all time. This song becomes the integral part of my feelings, like it is being played within my head, my head moves uncontrollably with the beats and eyes remains closed. It touches your soul and your emotions flows with the beats and vocals.

And the last verse is just what it says WHY NOT ME!īlack is by far the most emotionally powerful song I have heard. So the first verse is pretty much the meaning of the song. Then he ends the verse by saying that the main thing we near to live (air). Then he tells that he thinks she is so beautiful that the whole world revolves around her like the earth dose the sun.

The canvis and clay are empty.then it tells how she didn't love him. The first of the first verse he's saying she was his inspiration and he's not inspired with out her. She tryed to show him love in return but it wasn't real. Its about a guy who loved a girl who just didn't feel the same. I've seen this song misinterpreted so many times.
