| JF, maybe use a comma or maybe a period next time. It helps, you know to just let people know how to read it | |

| Eddie on an accordian, haha, do you know when he made this song he was playing it to everyone and jokingly saying "this is the best song we've ever done" or something along those lines. | |

| In all seriousness, i thought the song was about incest, and the "prison syndrome", in which people gradually come to relate to their "masters (for a lack of a better word)"... like just about every Pearl Jam song it is terrific i think. | |

| This song is great. I think you can sense what it's about, it's not supposed to be hyper analyzed. It's just about having stresses and problems in your life and feeling like your will is being usurped. | |

| its not about insects. its bugs as in listening devices. but its not about those either. basically, this song is a lot like corduroy or not for you or half the songs on vitalogy. as he gets more famous, his privacy is being invaded and its making him uncomfortable and confused. he doesnt know what to do about all the attention. in the end, everyone knows so much about him that its like hes naked. | |

| I just picture Eddie lying around in his living room drinking diet soda when all these butterflies invade and swarm and by the end he decides to "join them" so he dances around with them. I am so messed up. | |
