Nothing As It Seems Lyrics
Don't feel like home. He's a little out.
And all these words elope. It's nothing like your poem. Putting in. Inputting in. Don't feel like methadone. A scratching voice all alone it's nothing like your baritone. It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It's home. The little that he sees. Is nothing he concedes. It's home. One uninvited chromosome. A blanket like the ozone. It's nothing as it seems. All that he needs. It's home. The little that he frees is nothing he believes. Saving up a sunny day. Something maybe two tone. Anything of his own. A chip off the corner stone. Who's kidding? Rainy day. A one way ticket headstone. Occupations overthrown. A whisper through a megaphone. It's nothing as it seems. The little that he needs. It's home. The little that he sees is nothing he concedes. It's home. And all that he frees. A little bittersweet. It's home. It's nothing as it seems. The little that you see it's home. |

I know that mentally retarted people have one extra chromosome...and when you read the song over again it may have new meaning.
just my opinion

"one uninvited chromosome...etc"
"a blanket like the ozone" refers to how that one chromosome protects him from the world and how hard it can be. it also chokes off any deep knowledge connection he could have with others.
He has a harsh startling voice that will never be poetic and he just wants something for himself.

'With little money or goals, he had begun sinking into a shadowy world that brought out his survival instincts. "There is a thing that happens when you are not as priviledged and you start hanging out with a seedier crowd because you can afford to do the same things," he says. "And all of a sudden the big night out is sitting in somebody's trailer, smoking something or getting hold of something to put up your nose." "It is real easy to get into the lower depths and get intertwined. But I was always aware of that kind of thing. . . . I didn't want to be put on a leash by any kind of conservative, constrictive parent." "I didn't want to be in that world, but I also didn't want to be in the web of this other thing. I was getting swallowed up in it, but something made me realize it was time to get away or I was going to be just another loser." '
something i came across in an article i was reading

i have deep feelings for that man
ok about the song i can see the realtions with the downsyndrome and i believe it has a good piece in the song and if its true that ed took drugs the other part i think is about how he was saved from it and how he struggled but made his way through or it could be his own personal problems when younger than drug usage hence home in the song and i dont think he was one for home. seems like a strong word in his voice when he sings it

forgive me if i'm wrong, but the ozone holds things in right? or protects them. well that uninvited chromozone is holding his true self in, or protecting it from everyone else.
that could be it...

As for the lyrics, and coming from a recovering heroin addict, nearly everything in the song seems to fit. Heroin is like a blanket and that chromosome? heroin addicts form a receptor in the brain to accept opiates making them physically different (in the brain) from non addicts.
Need anything else? would be happy to go lyric by lyric

I think the person in this song finds that comfort in drugs which probably parallel the comfort of home. Maybe he's a homeless drug addict and the drug is a surrogate home.

The gender confusion may be possible too.

First being that the song itself sets a far from aggressive tone. Also, " This makes them more aggressive" is a misconception or a generalisation of the condition.
The study that found that many supermales are in prisons failed to mention that the majority of men with XXY syndrome are actually not in prison.
I dont think pearl jam would have written a song based on a biased label given to a genetic disorder.
Either way, XXY Syndrome increasing chances of having learning difficulties which may also play into the theory that this song is about homelessness.
