Tonight
Don't you think you've done enough?
Don't you think you've got enough? Well maybe
You don't think there's time to stop
Time enough for you to lay your head down
Tonight
Let it wash away
All those yesterdays
What are you running from?
Taking pills to get along
Creating walls to call your own
So no one catches you?
Drifing off and doing all the things
That we all do
Let them wash away
All those yesterdays
All those ...
You got time...
You got time to escape
There still time...
It's no crime to escape
There still time to escape
It's no crime to escape
All those yesterdays.

| I agree that the feeling of the song has to do with sleep, rest and escape, but I relate more with SoBeR's ideas of the walls we build and the difficulties we have in changing. We often feel it's wrong (a "crime" even) to change our ideas and admit that we've been wrong in our atitudes for some time ("all those yesterdays"). So the song's saying: give up your struggle, cause it's only doing you harm and it's ok to admit you were wrong or off track. Coupled with this comes the seductiveness of rest as an escape and it feels to me that the resting is sort of the acknowledgement of defeat (that you were wrong in something and are giving up). The rest and escape is something a person might have been fighting against, but should give in to and admit their mistakes. | |

| I have a friend who I think about every time I hear this song. She's an insomniac, and has an addiction to her various prescriptions, which she frequently takes too much of. Sometimes I play this song when she's around, hoping that she'll really listen to it, really listen to the message of the song "it's no crime to escape" and just let go of all those pills, and all those yesterdays. I sometimes write songs about various people and situations in my life, just to vent...but I can't write a song for her, because Eddie Vedder already did, and I could never put it better. | |
