Lagu "Severed Hand" oleh Pearl Jam berkisah tentang seorang laki-laki yang menghadapi situasi sulit dan berbahaya. Dia mencoba untuk melarikan diri dari situasi tersebut, tetapi dia menemukan dirinya dalam bahaya yang lebih besar. Dia mencoba untuk tetap tenang dan menjaga kendali, tetapi dia menyadari bahwa dia tidak bisa melakukan semuanya sendirian. Dia membutuhkan bantuan untuk menemukan jalan pulang.
Severed Hand Lyrics
Pearl Jam
Big man stands behind an open door
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said "Yeah,..."
I've no fear but for falling down
so look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
a way home.
Tried to walk, found a severed hand,
recognized it by the wedding band.
"It's okay, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Understand, I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now,..."
I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound
in waves.
In waves, lets me stay calm.
If I don't lose control
explore and not explode
a preternatural other plane
with the power to maintain.
Like a tear in all we know
once dissolved, we are free to grow
"What is human?,... What is more?"
I'll answer this
when I get home.
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks, wanna take ride?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said "Yeah,..."
I've no fear but for falling down
so look out below, I am falling now
Oh please understand, I just need my friend
a way home.
Tried to walk, found a severed hand,
recognized it by the wedding band.
"It's okay, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeah,..."
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..."
I said, "Yeah,..."
"Understand, I'm not falling down"

I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound

In waves, lets me stay calm.
If I don't lose control
explore and not explode
a preternatural other plane
with the power to maintain.
Like a tear in all we know
once dissolved, we are free to grow
"What is human?,... What is more?"
I'll answer this
when I get home.
