PEARL JAM
- Dead Man LyricsSailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.
I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
Cast a shadow across, onto me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.
I'm a dead man walking. Dead man walking. Dead man walking.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.
I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.
I'm a dead man walking. Dead man walking. Dead man walking.

When we try to understand the message behind it, Pearl Jam's "Dead Man" presents a reflective view of the artist's guilt and regrets, showing the mind tormented by his past and decisions with a hammer hanging over his head and the deriding corridors as one of the indications. The lyrics of Dead man concentrate mainly on despair, angst, reflection, solitude, and anger. Through this, however, the song accentuates the necessity of self-examination and sorrow, inescapable guilt, existential fear, and fate's inevitability. The lyrics portray the same themes of regret, guilt, and self-reflection but at a very powerful level for the younger listeners. The artist's repeated statement "I'm a dead man walking" puts forth the meaning of a doom or consequence that is going to happen soon, which might be disturbing for kids. Besides, the picture of "a hammer that I once brought down now hovers over me" indicates an action from the past that had a heavy price, which could be too grown-ups' theme for the young ones.
