These aren't great by any means, but they're definitely better than quite a few Eddie songs. He's not that untouchable as a lyricist.

But this is a great, slippery song. It's hard to get a handle on it (in a good way), which matches my feelings on the record thus far.

quite a few? Eddie only really has one song I can think of where the lyrics are just bad (got some)

this song is the warm blanket i need right now.

to be clear - this is still a great song, despite the lyrics.

this is exactly how i feel.

it's different musically. that's the only thing i ever want in a pearl jam album. and i feel that jeff really is the one that pushes this envelope. eddie, on the other hand, is at the completely opposite end of the spectrum musically (i think he's becoming a one-trick pony).

with that said, alright perfectly captures how i feel about the entire album. it has its flaws for sure, but i really, really like it.

I like the lyrics to several of the verses here.

The lines in tree's tell the story of how old they are. I think it means that the tree holds no secrets in that regard? Or something?

The lies don't go away with time? Can't outgrow the lies? Can't bury the lies in history? Something like that.

Does he have lies he's trying to hide, but realizes they cannot be hidden in a tree?

Do you have lies in a tree? Don't bother trying to hide them.

I think so.

That line just sticks out for me. I quickly settle in and the song is one of my absolute favourites so far.
