Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture IM A MAN WHO C Rhythm Player	#1 by IM A MAN WHO CHANGED INTO A BEAST at Jun 3, 1974 at 7:22 AM EST
	Well, when I said "so that life can continue in other forms" all I meant was that when you die, all the biological material that was formerly trapped in your body will be used as food for insects, plants and eventually other animals so that they may live. So, the energy that was in you still exists, it doesn't just disappear. I wasn't actually meaning that a persons conciousness continues to exist after they die. I'm just clarifying what I was talking about though, not knocking your own beliefs. I did also say that no one really knows what happens when we die and I stand by that.

No Picture Trent Average	#2 by Trent Zelasney at Dec 31, 1977 at 12:02 PM EST
	other side wasnt written by eddie though, sleight of hand and cant keep were written by eddie, and in sleight of hand he definitely isnt talking about death the line i dont live forever you cant keep me here is saying that he doesnt have much time on this earth and you cant keep him in reality, he wants to dream and experience new things

No Picture MetJustice Wanna Be	#3 by MetJustice at Jan 8, 1987 at 3:04 AM EST
	What I love about the album Riot Act is that it starts with Can't keep, clearly to me about suicide and actually pointing out the wonderful sides of death even, an then the song "Save you" which to me is about the first person in Can't Keep. A friend of his or hers who said "Fucke me if i care but im not leaving you". I love the way pearl jam albums have sons that seem to be in dialogue with eachother. Isn't that just genious.

No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#4 by Andrew Long at Sep 13, 1987 at 4:35 PM EST
	"A time to dream to himself. He waves goodbye to his self. I'll see you on the other side. Another man moved by slight of hand." this is a verse from Sleight of Hand the first line in this verse talks about dreaming and on the socond line he says"I'll see you on the other side" the connection between Sleight of Hand and this song is this line"i wanna take a look on the other side" it seems that eddie refers to dreaming as the "other side"this is what convinced me that this song is about dreaming

No Picture Colleen Average	#5 by Colleen Shmeltin at Jul 10, 2005 at 7:55 PM EST
	i tnink that this song is about dreaming "i've lived all these lives it's been wonderful at night" hes saying that hes been so many places and done so many things in his dreams "i wanna leave this mind and shout" hes saying he wants to stop thinking of what is going on and his life and dream" "i wanna race with the sundown" another reference to dreaming and i think you cant keep me here is refering to in his own life and body, he wants to go to far away to far away places
