ok, the down-syndrom theory works... but the song's too dark to be about it... can it????

"One uninvited chromosome" I know that mentally retarted people have one extra chromosome...and when you read the song over again it may have new meaning. just my opinion

I think "one univited chromosome" is referreing to unwanted pregnancy. Like the speaker wasn't planned and wasn't wanted by his mother. I don't know about the "blanket like the ozone" though

Downs Syndome explanation speaks loudy to me. "A chip off the old cornerstone." I actually think this is a nice song about a mentally challenged kid who sees the world differently and needs very little to be happy.

i agree with sworn to the balck. eddie did have a drug addiction before he was in pearl jam. 'With little money or goals, he had begun sinking into a shadowy world that brought out his survival instincts. "There is a thing that happens when you are not as priviledged and you start hanging out with a seedier crowd because you can afford to do the same things," he says. "And all of a sudden the big night out is sitting in somebody's trailer, smoking something or getting hold of something to put up your nose." "It is real easy to get into the lower depths and get intertwined. But I was always aware of that kind of thing. . . . I didn't want to be put on a leash by any kind of conservative, constrictive parent." "I didn't want to be in that world, but I also didn't want to be in the web of this other thing. I was getting swallowed up in it, but something made me realize it was time to get away or I was going to be just another loser." ' something i came across in an article i was reading

Does anyone else think that the beginning of this song (before the singing starts) has a pink floydish kind of feel to it? the way stone is strumming his guitar with mcready's lead in the background reminds me of something like that, i dont know...

I'm with michaelru1651. I think its about addiction. Pearl Jam been around long enough and have seen their friends like Andrew Woods and Layne die from drug addiction. I don't really get the connection with down syndrome. I can see how it can be about being homeless but...drug addiction fits a little bit more properly in my opinion. I think the person in this song finds that comfort in drugs which probably parallel the comfort of home. Maybe he's a homeless drug addict and the drug is a surrogate home.

oh, in reflection to eternaljam's theory, i figured out what the 'blanket like the ozone' is. forgive me if i'm wrong, but the ozone holds things in right? or protects them. well that uninvited chromozone is holding his true self in, or protecting it from everyone else. that could be it...

MarcyBoy is right. This song is about being homeless. It's just like Even Flow. Not about Eddie. Jeff wrote this. Not a gender crisis. Maybe a down-syndrome man but I cant imagine him using methadone. The blanket is the street, the sun. he has no home. and that's all he wants is a home. he was abandoned.

Im pretty postive this song is about down syndrome. "one uninvited chromosome...etc" "a blanket like the ozone" refers to how that one chromosome protects him from the world and how hard it can be. it also chokes off any deep knowledge connection he could have with others. He has a harsh startling voice that will never be poetic and he just wants something for himself.

Hey paranoid and droid or wateva... this song could be about someone with downs syndrome, people with that have 47 chromoZomes instead of 46... one uninvited chromozome.... Sweet song. HAUNTING
