Porch
Pearl Jam/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Could have learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me?
Would you hit me?
Oh whoa whoa, oh
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place, left the porch
Left the porch, oh oh oh
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know when I would not ever touch you
Hold you, feel you in my arms ever again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve deeper into the themes of identity and purpose in life.

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to Heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'til the fourth of July!
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew away howling on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to Heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'til the fourth of July
People cry and people moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to Heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
See 'em again 'til the fourth of July

... quand j'étais petit , j'enregistrais ce solo de guitare dans une boucle sur mon lecteur de disque laser ...
Je l'écoutais pendant des heures...
"When I was young, I recorded this loop on my CD player... I listened to it for hours... "
