Can't Keep
Embracing Transcendence: Eddie Vedder's Can't Keep
Lyrics
I wanna shake, I wanna wind out
The desire to break free and release tension.
I wanna leave this mind and shout
Expressing the wish to escape from the current state of mind with a vocal outburst.
I've lived all these lives
Reflection on multiple experiences or phases lived.
Like an ocean in disguise
Comparing life to an ocean, possibly indicating depth and hidden complexities.
I won't live forever
Acknowledging mortality and the finite nature of life.
Oh, you can't keep me here
Asserting the resistance to being confined or restrained.
I wanna race with the sundown
Expressing a desire to compete with time, possibly emphasizing the urgency of living fully.
I want a last breath that I don't let out
Desiring a final breath without holding back, possibly embracing mortality.
Forgive every being
Seeking forgiveness for all living beings, suggesting a compassionate perspective.
The bad feelings, it's just me
Acknowledging negative emotions as a personal experience rather than blaming others.
I won't wait for answers
Rejecting the idea of waiting for solutions or clarity.
Oh, you can't keep me here
Reiterating the resistance to being confined or restrained.
I wanna rise and say a goodnight
Expressing a desire to elevate and bid farewell on a positive note.
I wanna take a look on the other side
Curiosity about exploring different perspectives or dimensions of life.
I've lived all these lives
Repeating the theme of multiple lived experiences.
It's been wonderful tonight
Reflecting on the wonder and positivity experienced during the current phase of life.
I won't live forever
Reiterating the acknowledgment of mortality and the transient nature of life.
Oh, you can't keep me here
Emphasizing the inability to be confined or restrained.
