(From Wikipedia) Vocalist Eddie Vedder about “Dissident”:
In “Dissident”, I’m actually talking about a woman who takes in someone who’s being sought after by the authorities for political reasons. He’s on the run, and she offers him a refuge. But she just can’t handle the responsibility. She turns...
Dissident Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say? What to say?
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past, a holy no
She had to turn around
[Chorus]
When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissidence, a dissident is here
[Verse 2]
And to this day she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
But when she had contact with the conflict
There was meaning but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
[Chorus]
When she couldn't hold, she folded
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh!
[Bridge]
Oh
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
She gave him away when she couldn't hold
No, she folded, a dissident is here
Escape is never the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
Oh, couldn't hold on, she couldn't hold
No, she folded, a dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place
Oh, a dissident is here
