Pearl Jam - Seven O'Clock lyrics
[Pearl Jam - Seven O'Clock lyrics]
Oh, seven o'clock in the morning
Got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are
Dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter
relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful
Mutant messages were heard
Moved on from my despondency and
Left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping
Or maybe kill it better yet?
For this is no time for
Depression or self-indulgent hesitance
This fucked up situation calls for all hands
Hands on deck
Freedom is as freedom does and
Freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight
To keep that what you've earned
We saw the destination
Got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and
Do not be deterred
Floodlight dreams go drifting past
All the lines we could've had
Distant loves floating above
Close these eyes, they've seen enough
Caught the butterfly
Broke it's wings then put it on display
Stripped of all it's beauty once it
Could not fly high away
Oh, still alive like a passerby
Overdosed on gamma rays
Another god's creation destined to
Be thrown away sitting Bull and Crazy Horse
They forged the north and west
Then you got Sitting Bullshit
As our sitting president
Oh, talking to his mirror, what's he say
What's it say back? A tragedy of errors
Who'll be the last to have a laugh?
His best days gone, hard to admit
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
Fading lights, lost eloquence
There's still a fire in the engine room
Knows relief will be coming soon
What's to be done?
Carve a path for rivers reign
Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves, oh
Held by these thoughts
They refuse to slip away, oh
Hangman in dreamland about to call your name
Much to be done much to be
Much to be done much to be
Much to be done much to be
Much to be done
Got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are
Dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter
relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful
Mutant messages were heard
Moved on from my despondency and
Left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping
Or maybe kill it better yet?
For this is no time for
Depression or self-indulgent hesitance
This fucked up situation calls for all hands
Hands on deck
Freedom is as freedom does and
Freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight
To keep that what you've earned
We saw the destination
Got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and
Do not be deterred
Floodlight dreams go drifting past
All the lines we could've had
Distant loves floating above
Close these eyes, they've seen enough
Caught the butterfly
Broke it's wings then put it on display
Stripped of all it's beauty once it
Could not fly high away
Oh, still alive like a passerby
Overdosed on gamma rays

Much to be done much to be
Much to be done much to be
