Since there's no SOTM up for me to post on, let me tell you what I think this song's about: Surviving the end of the world. I can't support that, but all the lyrics are just fleeting images or tangential references to emotion. So it's one of those songs that can be about anything. One of the band's bleakest and most lyrically intricate songs. I love it to death, but I don't mind it not being played live since Eddie so rarely nails it. (Listening to an exception right now, Seattle #2 2000)
Some die just to live.

I brought it up because it still gets radio play, is a great song, and it would have fit really well into some of the shows on the last tour. I didnt realize I would miss it from the live sets until it was gone.

This is one of my favorite songs from PJ... although the lyrics & the feel of the song paint a picture of KDC (Kurt) for some... lately when I hear it... I think of the 'Deadwood' series.. it has this kind of 'old west' air about it...

Chris Farley: O-kay.. remember.. you remember when you were with The Beatles, and you were supposed to be dead, and, uh, there was all these clues, that, like, uh, you played some song backwards, and it'd say, like, "Paul Is Dead", and, uh, everyone thought that you were dead? That was, um, a hoax, right?
Paul McCartney: Yeah. I wasn't really dead.
- sorry
