| My friend told me that this song summed up her relationship with her bf. I know he doesnt abuse her, but she says she loves him because she doesn't think she can do much better. Like having the best car on the market, but u don't like it all that much but u don't wanna get rid of it cuz it the best. Shitty metaphore but. | |

| maybe since red is an anrgy colour it's about the anger she has stored up inside of her because of him. Or maybe its about her dreaming that one day she will take action since red is the colour of war. | |

| I agree with some of you. The song is about a woman in a bad relationship. She's says she will leave him but does not have the strength to do so. And if she does, she will end up going back to him, because she cannot find "A Better Man." Greatly sung by Vedder. | |

| i love this song soo much... one of my favourite of all time its just about a woman... too scared to leave this guy.. because she just doesnt want to end up alone i love the beginning the best "its got to stop.. tell him.. take no more she practices her speech as he opens the door.. she rolls over.. pretends to sleep as he looks her over" she was prepared to stand up to him and end it... but then when the moment came she backed down and about the "she dreams in colour she dreams in red"... i think it does actually mean that she dreams of love... because she doesnt have it in her own life red has always, traditionally, symbolised love and passion... not blood... but i could be wrong. everyone is entitled to their own opinions this song rocks | |

| i also think its a woman whos been with the same guy for so long that she thinks theres noone else better out there for her. shes just so used to being with him. i think this songs about eddie vedder's step father also.. i think he might have been abusive...dont quote me on that though. | |

| vedder once introduced this song at a concert by saying "this is for the bastard who married my mama", so yeah, its partly about his mom and step dad | |

| Yeah, it's tied w/ his mom marrying some abusive guy and her too scared to leave. Eddie said he would ask her to leave but she would say "No I can't." (That's what I heard anyway." | |
