Eddie Vedder said “Force of Nature” is “about the strength of one person in the relationship, when they can withstand some of the faults in another.”

Force of Nature / Pearl Jam (Backspacer)

Understand She’s a Force of Nature
Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Exercising her will to lose control
She let’s go

Common Man he don’t stand a chance no
One to love who allowed his in the hole
No way to save someone who wont take the role
And just let’s go

One Man Stands the edge of the ocean
A beacon on dry land
Eyes above the horizon
In the dark before the dawn

Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
Gale force shaking windows in the storm
Shipwreck from a love that he calls home
One light on

Somewhere there’s a siren singing
Solemnly he hears
All the strengths you might think would
Disappear resolving

One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
[ Pearl Jam Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Eyes above the horizon
In the dark before the
Darkness leaves the dawn

Makes me ache
Makes me shake
Is it so wrong to think that
Love can keep us safe?

Last I saw he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light full moon
In the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore

Somewhere there’s a siren singing
Solemnly he hears
All the strength
That you might think would disappear, resolving

One man stands alone awaiting for her to come home
Eyes are closed, you cannot know
But his heart don’t seem to know…
Grow…
Home…
