what is the song even flow by pearl jam about
Even Flow The stark lyrics by Vedder for "Even Flow" describe the experience of being a homeless man.[9] The subject sleeps "on a pillow made of concrete" and panhandles passersby for spare change. In addition to being illiterate, he may also be mentally ill, as he "looks insane" when he smiles and struggles to keep coherent thoughts ("Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies/Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away").
