I'm sorry this is bugging me, why "her problems WON'T die

[Let's all laugh at Rangers]

with you"?

Surely it would make more sense if they will?

[Jorge]

Also, is it "beastly overgrown" or "obesely overgrown"?

[bodysnatcher]

i always thought Arc was "ahhhh-uhhh-huuuhhhh AHHHHH", not "ahhhh-uhhh-huUUUHHH ahhhh"

[mikejasond]

Do any of the lyrics of this song make sense?

[PearlJames]

I'm still figuring out "I surfaced when all of my pen wasn't writing" from In Hiding to even attempt this song

[Anders]

If it's about mother earth or about an idea, then her problems probably won't die with you.

[Jorge]

IDEAS DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS

[mikejasond]

Im sorry but the worst Pearl Jam line of all time is definitely 100% "North is to south what the clock is to time"

It means absolutely nothing Eddie just thinks he sounds really clever when he says it.

The absolute nadir of Eddie Vedder lyrics

that's not the right lyric, mjd

[Norris]

but the real lyric is just as dumb

[mikejasond]

I edited to reflect the correct dumb lyric

"I'm just a human bean."

Really, Ed?

IDEAS DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS

An idea (or a process) is often something that needs solving, and if you put the idea out there, its problem won't die with you. Thought that was obvious.

It means absolutely nothing Eddie just thinks he sounds really clever when he says it

"The North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine"

The directions on a map or a compass tell you where you are, a clock tells you what time it is. You know you are born, and you know you will die. But only you can decide what and where you spend your time. Time or place does not decide for you. In that context they are the same.

It's an awful fucking lyric stop trying to defend it.

[PearlJames]

"We were butt stones"

?????

[Anders]

I disagree.

[E.H. Ruddock]

It's an awful fucking lyric stop trying to defend it.

yeah, I mean, it is practically cut up and half dead already

[Jorge]

I don't really mind that line
