Rearview Mirror Lyrics

Artist: Pearl Jam
Album: Vs

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 kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged united by fear
'Posed 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
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things
Clearer
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...

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...
Rearview mirror

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

I'm getting divorced by a man who left me w/out a word and abused me with his tortorous bag of bullshit for ten years.....this song says it all...I drove away without looking back. Fuck him. He doesn't deserve what he's losing.

The entire album is an ode to abuse... And Terri K... Good for you love, ACT-CHOOSE-ENJOY YOUR NEW BEGINNING!

Everything's right except for instead of "kissing the ground" it's "pushed to the ground."

It's "pissed on my plate", not "fist on my plate."
