| Thanks cornerstone. Not even animals gang rape like humans do. This really sealed the deal on the gang rape meaning and I have no doubt that's what it's about now. | |

| cornerstone i see your point and it seems to me that youve been reading too much anthoy burgees. it is about rape it is about media it is about eds mother it is about animal rights and it is about the maneger of the band!!!! think what you want to think about this song. anthony burgeess always seems to have that in his books too. this is a song that you dont have to look deep into to find the real meaninf cuz the real meanig is in your heart. | |

| Both meanings are probably right...most Pearl Jam songs are about more than one thing. Just on the band vs the media thing, when Eddie says the 5 against 1 bit, I think you can take it 2 ways: 1) Five guys from the media against Eddie and 2) Five guys in the band against one institution, as if everyone from the media is a generic journalist. | |

| This song is about the bands hatred towards the media. They feel outnumbered and abused by them. | |

| I have some recollection of seeing a clip of Pearl Jam live where Eddie introduced the song by saying "this song's about my mother, it's called animal". I hate to think of it being about a gang rape. The topic is a world too dark for such a energetic song. | |

| Its gang rape, they have talked about it. 5 'animals', raping a woman. 'Torture from you to me Abducted from the street' 'Why would you wanna hurt me, oh Oh, so frightened of your pain...yeah...ooh... ' Very clear... | |
