I AM MINE
Pearl Jam

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

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

And the feeling, it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
Significant, behind the eyes
There's no need to hide...
We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind
All the innocents broken with lies
Significance, between the lines
(We may need to hide)

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocents lost at one time
We're all different behind the eyes
There's no need to hide

That Eddie Vedder is a literary genius. Where the hell is he, anyway?

That I'm not listening to current music is a blessing to me. At least, I get to wallow in Old rock (like this one)that has meaning and is introspective. What you hear these days is a bunch of crap about s*x, violence, murder. That's music? Shizz. This here is Emo, long before emo started. But it's hard rock. Take that!

I don't like to take crap from musicians who can't even truly carry out a tune much less write a stanza or two. And that's what you mostly get nowadays. Back in the mid-90's, music was a fever and it was contagious. These days, Music is like gonnorrhea. You get infected when you consent to it. And I heard there's a strain that has no cure. Hell, I don't want THAT.
