	This is an incredible song about friendship, its like your friend has gone of the rail and they cant help themself, and u tell them u are always there for them when they need u, but u cant do it all yourself, they have to help you help them. everyone needs a friend to be there for them.

	This song does an excellent job of conveying a frantic urgency that both the speaker and the subject face.... The comfortable use of "fuck" shows just how far it has gone because Eddie rarely says fuck more than 2 or even three times in one song but in this song he says it about nine times truly showing the distress or necessity that the subject is in..... I personally think it is about eddie trying to save his marriage to Beth but I don't know..... This is a great fast paced and unique song...... Kudos to Pearl Jam once again......

	Yo, well to me...well... i got a friend. he's like totally ill. not been able to leave his house for 11 months, he has lost contact with everyone else apart from me, he's my best friend, known him since i was 5 and noone knows what's wrong with him. He's seriously depressed and refuses now to see and cure that isnt 100% as a failure. They think its probably a psychological problem causing it. Id like to play him this song. Fits well. See also "Off he goes" for similar thoughts. Dunno why i decided to tell u all this but, mah, this song is my voice.

	I was in a situation with a girl who was depressed to an extreme. She would tell me constantly that I was the one with the problems because I cared about her, and she told me she didn't want me to care. Now, I can't say things went well, what ended up happening was I found out that she was purposely trying to get me to hate her because she didn't believe she should be cared about. She was self destructive, but blamed me for her destruction, because I cared and wanted to help, even when she told me that she could make it on her own...because...as U2 has said, "Sometimes you can make it on your own." Anyways, when I was in this situation, this song really helped me, because I felt that Eddie was talking specifically about me and what was happening. In my opinion it's about how he's struggling to help a person who doesn't want him there,"Fuck me if I care, but I'm not leaving here." I'd also like to say that he's not saying from me...he's saying "fuck me". I think he's showing his anger with the situation, and his anger that he can't help this person that matters so much to him. I can relate completely, and this song will always be one of my all time favorites.

	It has a heavy riff backed by Boom Kaspar on keyboards, which I think worsened the song. Without keyboards, the song would have sounded much looser and angrier. The song is still great, however. It, to me, is tied for the best song on Riot Act with Love Boat Captain. Very good.
