forever way satellites
Leave it to me as I find a way to be Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me Guaranteed
world comfort this-world
Cannot find the comfort in this world.
cocky healthy competition
Competition is healthy, if you can turn it off and on. When someone gets too cocky in victory, that can ruin the positive aspect.
war atheism way
The word religion has such bad connotations for me, that it's been responsible for wars, and it shouldn't be that way at all, it's just the way the meaning of the word has evolved to me. I have to wonder what we did on this planet before religion.
optimistic hopeful frustrated
I'm optimistic yet disillusioned, hopeful yet frustrated.
real fall people
Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.
strong guitar typewriters
There are times where I would keep three typewriters on a table, and I'd have three complete thoughts going. With computers, you make folders, files - I don't know about those things. I have sheaves of paper polluted with words and paragraphs. I found it a good tool for me. And it keeps your hands strong for guitar playing.
thinking way kind
I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.
years three stage
The one thing about going from the audience to the stage in just three years is that you know how it feels to be down there.

Any conversations we hear about 'So who are Pearl Jam marketing to?' are despicable.
reality drug needs
I don't need drugs to make my life tragic.
sorrow bigger grows
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.
car long guy
I had a long talk with Bruce Springsteen on a rooftop during the Vote for Change tour (in 2004). And it boiled down to this: That guy you used to be, he’s still in the car. He’ll always be in the car. Just don’t let him drive. He might be shouting out directions. But whatever you do, don’t let him get behind the wheel.
eye sandwiches want
I feel like we have to keep our eyes on the road. Being nostalgic is like taking an offramp and getting a sandwich - and then you get back on the highway. I don't want to be spending the rest of my life at the gas station.
