Pearl Jam – Black, Red, Yellow Lyrics 1 month ago
Pearl Jam are known for multiple layers of interpretation, as well as a significant focus on social themes. Therefore, a game of basketball, for instance, can also be seen as a metaphor for war. I believe that there are several verses that imply aspects of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as blocks in the mind, with Freud on the sidelines and what's left of the leg. The face of the devil and the color might also be about war itself. This is a recurrent sensitive theme in American culture, also portrayed in other songs, like 'Yellow Ledbetter.' Cheers."
