This broken wheel is coming undone
And the road's exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you
Love is a tower, and you're the key
Leading me higher, when you let me in
Keeping us close (so close)
Oh, on down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Moving along with you
You are a tower, of strength to me
The darkening hour, sees light again
Again...
Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are...
Love is a tower, of strength to me
I am the shoreline, but you're the sea
The sea
You are, you are...
...
And the road's exploding
But you're keeping me strong
Rolling along with you
Love is a tower, and you're the key
Leading me higher, when you let me in
Keeping us close (so close)
Oh, on down the line
Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun
With no one knowing
But you're keeping me strong
Moving along with you
You are a tower, of strength to me
The darkening hour, sees light again
Again...
Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are...
Love is a tower, of strength to me
I am the shoreline, but you're the sea
The sea
You are, you are...
...

"sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun" - This is about the suffering that every love has. It is not easy to love so much to the point of feeling pain. You want to be close to that person, no matter what.
"you are a tower, of strength to me" - Love gives you strenght and pain at the same time. You abide by love, try to gather forces from it, even if it is the same thing that makes you suffer.
"this broken wheel is coming undone
and the road's exploding"
I love those lines because sometimes you feel that everything is going down and even yourself don't know what kind of hope you should have. Love might be the only one, but sometimes to have hope is to live somewhat far from reality.
The point of the lines "love is a tower" seems like...a something so distant. It makes you higher but far away from everything else. Maybe even from the beloved one.
The instrumental part of this song is unique, the guitar effects...
"Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun" means?
anywho, the guitars actually have a delay for all of you idiots who cant pick that out. and why do pearl jam need to be angry and frustrated? there musicians and they write about there emotions, are they always gonna be pissed off?
i belive matt cameron wrote this to his wife. but then again if you listen to it, it reminds me of a couple, who were once together, and then the female breaks up with the male, but he cant let go cos he;s obsessive. it sounds like he's making a vowe of his love to her and is unwilling to let go and its scaring the girl. it seems like a song about a stalker.
newho thats just my interpretation of their lyrics. sometimes bands also write music for their audience to put there own meanings ot their songs
