Drowning in their dissertations
Random speakers in my mind
Yeah, they never stop their fortifications
And blocking my precious time
You used to let it go and let it float away
You don't get to speak with twice as much to say
It's all delivery
Oh, said the messenger who is now dead
Was all on the periphery
I didn't see him but I heard what he said
Oh, sideways talk poisoning our thoughts
Everyone walks and it's no one's fault
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where every scar is
Blinking stars, beneath you roam
Room to tomb and cradle to grave
All the answers will be found
In the mistakes that we have made
One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes a village but don't take mine
Living forward in a backwards town
I feed 'em drinks just to watch 'em drown
Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we'll be together again
But I won't give up
No I won't give up on satisfaction, satisfaction
Give up on satisfaction
Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness blurs, I'm in need of a light
Out of balance, balance, balance this time
I'm feeling fading calling as I'm falling out of sight
As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
And ventricles pumping, working overtime
Our freedoms fraught with danger being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised
A rubble of commandments from the road, step aside
A rumble of commandments in the road, step aside
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Whoever said it's all been said
Gave up on satisfaction
Satisfaction

Superblood Wolfmoon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
I ask for forgiveness
I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, knock it off the shelf
Right now I feel
A lack of innocence searchin' for reveal
Hypnotonic resonance, I feel
Not much of anything
And the cause is life or death
Don't allow for hopelessness
Focus on your focusness
I've been hopin' that our hope does last
I don't know anything
I question everything
This life I love is goin' way too fast
Both my hands are swollen
My face is broken
And I'm hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your fist
She was a stunner and I am stunned
And the first thought and second thought was "could be the one"
I was a prisoner, her keys and her cuffs
Yeah, I was feelin' fortunate to be locked up
But the world kept on spinnin'
Always felt like it was endin'
And love notwithstandin'
We are each of us f*cked
I'm in danger
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
I ask for forgiveness
I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, now get off the scale
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
Focus on your focusness
Don't allow for hopelessness
I've been hopin' that our hope does last

This life I love is goin' way too fast

Dance Of The Clairvoyants
Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big
Big as the ocean
And equally hard to control
So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions
Love is friction
Ripe for comfort
Endless equations
And tugging persuasions
Doors open up
To interpretation
Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow
Is the same as before
The looser things get
The tighter you become
The looser things get
Tighter
Not one man can be greater than the sun
That's not a negative thought
I'm positive, positive, positive
Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river
Expecting perfection
Leaves a lot to endure
When the past is the present
And the future's no more
When every tomorrow
Is the same as before
Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes
Windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots
Not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants
'Cause they're out of this world
I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks, and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Drown in the river
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back (Their dicks, and fix and fire things)
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes

Quick Escape
Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar
Queen cranking on the blaster
And the Mercury did rise
Came along where we all belonged
You were yours, and I was mine
Yeah, yeah
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
Had
Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir to Marrakesh
The lengths we had to go to then
To find a place Trump hadn't f*cked up yet
Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
And here we are, the red planet
Craters cross the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time
Oh, and we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Should've known, so fragile
Avoided this one-way flight
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape
Had
In the old world not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar
Queen cranking on the blaster
And the Mercury did rise
Came along where we all belonged
You were yours, and I was mine
Yeah, yeah

Alright
You can't hide the lies
In the rings of a tree
If your heart still beats free
Keep it for yourself
When you want to run
And leave some part unrevealed
Like the flight of the bee
Keep it for yourself
It's alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It's your own
It's alright to quiet up
To disappear in thin air
It's your own
Should your living truth die
Could be an acid trip
Leave the Eucharist whole
Keep it for yourself
If you tire of the game
Hit the road towards the clouds
Find your groove in the sound
Keep it for yourself
It's alright to say no
Be a disappointment in your own home
It's alright to turn it off
Ignore the rules of the state
It's your own
It's alright to shut it down
Disappear in thin air
It's your home
It's alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It's your own
You can't hide your eyes
In the rings of a tree
If your heart still beats free
Keep it for yourself
When you want to run
And leave some part unrevealed
Like the flight of the bee
Keep it for yourself
It's alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It's your own
It's alright to quiet up
To disappear in thin air
It's your own
Should your living truth die
Could be an acid trip
Leave the Eucharist whole
Keep it for yourself
If you tire of the game
Hit the road towards the clouds
Find your groove in the sound
Keep it for yourself
It's alright to say no
Be a disappointment in your own home
It's alright to turn it off
Ignore the rules of the state
It's your own
It's alright to shut it down
Disappear in thin air
It's your home
It's alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It's your own
You can't hide your eyes

Seven OClock
Seven o'clock in the morning, got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful mutant messages were heard
Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it, better yet?
For this is no time for depression or self-indulgent hesitance
This f*cked-up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck
Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you've earned
We saw the destination, got so close before it turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred
Floodlight dreams go drifting past
All the lines we could've had
Distant loves floating above
Close these eyes, they've seen enough
Caught the butterfly, broke its wing then put it on display
Was stripped of all its beauty once it could not fly high away
Oh, still alive like a passer-by overdosed on gamma rays
Another God's creation destined to be thrown away
Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse they forged the north and west
Then you got Sitting Bullshit as our sitting President
Oh, talking to his mirror, what's he say? What's it say back?
A tragedy of errors, who'll be the last to have a laugh?
His best days gone, hard to admit
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
Fading lights, lost eloquence
There's still a fire in the engine room
Knows relief will be coming soon
What's to be done
Carve a path for rivers reign
Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves
So held by these thoughts
They refuse to slip away
Hangman in dreamland
About to call your name
Much to be done
Much to be
Much to be done
Much to be
Much to be done
Much to be
Much to be done
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful mutant messages were heard
Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it, better yet?

Never Destination
Blisters on my fingers, blisters on my brain
Blisters on the voices, crazy makes insane
There's an angry sea, an ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling, I'm becoming blind
I won't be taken, won't take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Feels like illusion, is this taking place?
Disease of confusion, stripped of our grace
Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial
Some resolution, some justice tied
To this collusion hiding in plain sight
Say see-ya later, never say goodbye
This is a little trick I play on my own mind
I'm a recluse in search of new friends
Are they gonna find me back where the road ends?
Off in the distance, Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on our innocence
Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial
I can't believe it, these endless lies
Never destination, just more denial
More denial
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, should we survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Thank you Bob Honey, thanks Paul Theroux
If ever I die, to this place let me go
Off in the distance, Leviathans
50 foot and breaking on my innocence
I won't be taken, won't take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Say see-ya later, never say goodbye
This a little trick I play on my own mind
Don't wanna believe it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
She was a singer in a rock-n-roll band
Had command of all her voices
Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices
So I say 'til then, never say goodbye
A little trick I play on my mind
Blisters on the voices, crazy makes insane
There's an angry sea, an ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling, I'm becoming blind
I won't be taken, won't take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Feels like illusion, is this taking place?

Take The Long Way
You got me through these feelings
That separate me from you
I put myself through a beating
I need you to pull me through
I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
Now's the time to resurface
Take back me and you
The hammer will fall on purpose
Oh, our time, our truth
I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
Plant a seed in your mind
What's yours is mine
Show me how to live divine
What's yours is mine
Back to a moment in your mind
Go back in time
Show me how to live divine
What's yours is mine
That separate me from you
I put myself through a beating
I need you to pull me through
I'll break through these feelings
I'll break through the ceiling
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way

Buckle Up
I got blood
Blood on my hands
The stain of, of a human
I finally awoke
To my mother's wrath
Call lights
Bed sores and sponge baths
Firstly do no harm
Then put your seatbelt on
Buckle up
Buckle up
The drapes pull back
Reveal her wound
Her boy on her lap
A murderer groomed
Antiquities lost
Lost to the Nile
A sudden slip
A fall on the tile
Firstly do no harm
Then put your seatbelt on
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up
Buckle up
Blood on my hands
The stain of, of a human
I finally awoke
To my mother's wrath
Call lights
Bed sores and sponge baths
Firstly do no harm
Then put your seatbelt on
Buckle up
Buckle up
The drapes pull back
Reveal her wound
Her boy on her lap
A murderer groomed
Antiquities lost
Lost to the Nile
A sudden slip

Firstly do no harm

Comes Then Goes
High or low, where'd you go
Are you stuck in the middle
A spectral invisible ghost
I'm here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes
Where you been, can I find
A glimpse of my friend
Don't know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Can I say, how ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes, with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?
Is this you?
Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain
Self-neglecting again
Like you, I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
Yeah, it's all vivisection in the end
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end
Where'd ya sleep
Can I find a deeper connection
In the face of rejection
I'm trying
I'm trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads to me to believe we missed the signs
Can I try one last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes 'cause some of it was mine
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Are you stuck in the middle
A spectral invisible ghost
I'm here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes
Where you been, can I find

Retrograde
Comes the summer rain
Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
And meditations, lifting out in the sound
The more mistakes the more resolve
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up
Stars align they say when things are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round
Accelerate the change
Feeling equal, and opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout the echo, turning back but now changed
The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up
Stars align they say when times are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round
Hear the sound, in the distance now
Could be thunder, or a crowd
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
And meditations, lifting out in the sound
The more mistakes the more resolve
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up
Stars align they say when things are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round
Accelerate the change
Feeling equal, and opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout the echo, turning back but now changed
The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up
Stars align they say when times are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
Feel the retrograde all around, round
Hear the sound, in the distance now
Could be thunder, or a crowd
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)
(Hear the sound)

River Cross
Always thought I'd cross that river
The other side distant now
As I got close it turned and widened
Horizon now, fading out
Drifting off in the undertow
Can't spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had
None to be had
I used to tell time by my shadow
'Til the thunder clouds
They took the stage
These days will end, as do the light's rays
Another read of the same page
Wide awake through this deepest night
Still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiply
Find a star to soldier on
Oh, living beneath a lion's paw
Knowing nothing can be tamed
Can be tamed
I want this dream to last forever
A wish denied to lengthen our time
I wish this moment was never ending
Let it be a lie that all futures die
While the government thrives on discontent
And there's no such thing as clear
Proselytizing and profitizing
As our will all but disappears
Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down
And all these talk of rapture
Look around at the promise now
Here and now
Here and now
Can't hold me down
Can't hold me down
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down
Live it out
Let it out
Get it out
Shout it out
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down
Share the light
Won't hold us down

Gigaton is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released March 27, 2020. It was preceded by the singles "Dance of the Clairvoyants", "Superblood Wolfmoon" and "Quick Escape". It is the band's first studio album in six and half years, and their first album since 2006's eponymous album to feature more collaboration for the lyrics, rather than them being written solely by the frontman Eddie Vedder.
The cover artwork was produced by photographer Paul Nicklen. Its release was scheduled to coincide with a tour of North America. However, the North American leg was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually rescheduled for 2022.
