Pearl Jam's Immortality. Many say that it was written about Kurt Cobain's death but I think that some of the lyrics can pertain to anyone's life:
Vacate is the word
Vengence has no place he swears to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tears, vessel stabbed "Next up volunteers"...
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home, and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun
Immortality
As priveledged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than how. How?
Surrendered, executed anyhow.
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor.
A truant finds home, and a wish a to hold on to
He saw a trap door in the sun
Immortality
Cannot stop the thought running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold mom
Auctioned forearm
And whiskers in the sink
Truants move on, cannot stay long
Some die just to live....
Then,
Pearl Jam's Betterman which I think many girls out there can relate to.
Waiting....watching the clock it's 4 o'clock
It's got to stop
Tell him. Take no more.
She practices her speech as he opens the door.
She rolls over, pretends to sleep as he looks her over.
She lies and says she's in love with him.
Can't find a betterman.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red.
Can't find a betterman....
Talking to herself, "there's no one else so he's the one"
She tells herself
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it now she swears he's gone
She's lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a betterman
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a betterman....
She loved him, she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a betterman....
