Nothing As it Seems

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Ament
Don't feel like home,.. he's a little out...
And all these words elope,.. it's nothing like your poem...
Putting in,.. inputting in,.. don't feel like methadone...
Scratching voice.. all alone,.. it's nothing like your baritone
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that he needs,. it's home
The little that he sees,.. is nothing. He concedes,.. it's home

One uninvited chromosome,.. a blanket like the ozone.
It's nothing as it seems, all that he needs,. it's home...
The little that he frees,.. is nothing, he believes...

Saving up a sunny day,.. something maybe two tone...
Anything to call his own,.. a chip off the cornerstone...
Who's kidding, rainy day,...one way ticket headstone...
Occupations overthrown,.. a whisper thru a megaphone...

It's nothing as it seems,... the little that he needs,... it's home
The little that he sees, ..is nothing. He concedes,. it's home...
And all that he frees,... a little bittersweet,.. it's home...
It's nothing as it seems,.. the little that you see,.. it's home...

Great song......

Another one of my absolute favorites. It's a song that touches me, musically and lyrically. It makes me sad but in such a beautiful way. I especially like the part 'it's home'. Somehow at the moment I have the feeling that I don't have one anymore. That gives this part of the lyrics an even stronger personal value/meaning.

Probably my favorite. Right up there with Rearviewmirror and Yellow Led.
