Rearviewmirror

Rearviewmirror
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Pissed on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gaged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things
Clearer
Once you, were in my rearviewmirror
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades, are raised, hey
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you
Rearviewmirror
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, oh yeah
La canción 'Rearviewmirror' de Pearl Jam narra una historia de liberación y fortaleza personal. Comienza con un sentimiento de emancipación al tomar un viaje en auto, reflexionando sobre las experiencias pasadas que lo han hecho más sabio, sin sentir la necesidad de agradecer o disculparse por ello...
