Down

Artist: Pearl Jam
Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...
Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won't let the light escape from me.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.

(So long)

Comments

I adore this song. Great melody and fabulous lyrics.
It has a kind of REM feel to it circa "Life's Rich Pageant", the jangly guitars make it upbeat and poppy, yet the lyrics and Ed's voice take it to a whole different level. Yet another example of Pearl Jam's great diversity
