Pearl Jam - Severed Hand Lyrics






Big man stands behind an open door
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."

"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said "Yeah,..."

I've no fear but for falling down
so look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
a way home.

Tried to walk, found a severed hand,
recognized it by the wedding band.

"It's okay, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."
I said, "Yeah,..."

"Understand, I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,..."
I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound
in waves.

In waves, lets me stay calm.

If I don't lose control
explore and not explode
a preternatural other plane
with the power to maintain.

Like a tear in all we know
once dissolved, we are free to grow
"What is human?,... What is more?"
I'll answer this
when I get home.

    I've always had this in common with Eddie. I too have a grandmother called Pearl and she has made homemade jams from time to time. Weird!

  19. M.... ....

    my favorite fuckin song from this album besides all the others

  20. j.... s....

    its actually tear


  21. J.... H....

    "Like a tare".a tare..not tear.just sayin

    J.... H....

    Tear, as it rhymes with hair. The one you're referring to, tare, is what is done to a scale to zero it out. And while that might be clever word play on Ed's part 5o use tare, I don't think that's what happened.
    It's tear in the fabric of reality it torn.

  22. S.... N....

    This song has to be the best song I've ever heard from PJ. I used to trip hard on all kinds of stuff and these lyrics match my experiences pretty closely. Hell, isn't Pearl Jam after all named that because of Eddie's Grandma's mushroom jelly she made?

  23. s.... ....

    psilocybes cubensis!

  24. s.... ....
