Pearl Jam's, "Even Flow"
The Lyrics:
Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Why:
The song seems upbeat and lively, but the lyrics describe the experience of being homeless. And this is only the first verse.

Pearl Jam's, "Jeremy"
The Lyrics:
Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
Why:
This song is actually about the kid - Jeremy - committing suicide. It's based on a true story that one of the band members had read in the newspaper.
