Eddie Vedder, vokalis Pearl Jam menulis lirik lagu ini setelah membaca berita tentang anak sekolah yang bunuh diri di depan kelas, di hadapan guru dan teman-temannya. Dikisahkan, Jeremy merupakan anak pemurung yang jarang bicara. Doi pun salah satu korban bully di sekolahnya. Berniat balas dendam, bocah itu pun berusaha meneror teman-temanooh, and all i taught her was everything ooh, i know she gave me all that she wore. and now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything. oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…. i take a walk outside, i’m surrounded by some kids at play i can feel their laughter, so why do i sear? oh, and The sun was in clouds, the sun looked out Exposed a trail of mist and spouts Ships followed the ancient lead Deceiving friends under the sea Wow, imagine that? they won't fight back I got a theory on that A whale's heart is as big as a car A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark They won't fight back I'm sure they know how Means they Pearl Jam How long must she stand Before the ground gives way To an endless fall She can feel this War on her face Stars on her pillow Folding in the darkness Begging for slumber I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like lightning In my child's eye I'm not frantic I can feel it coming Violently shakes My body Her son's slanted Always giving her The sideways eye An empty chair where Dad sits
