1) Go
Time: 3:13
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

"Go" is about how abused people (especially if they were abused by their parents) usually pass on the abuse to other generations.

2) Animal
Time: 2:48
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

About the band versus the things that made them mad or changed their life (media, fame, ticketmaster, etc).

3) Daughter
Time: 3:54
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

"Daughter" is about an abused daughter. I've always thought that this was the sequel to "Why Go" from Ten with "Rearviewmirror" being after "Daughter."

4) Glorified G
Time: 3:25
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

About gun control and how we (as a country) have an obsession with guns.

5) Dissident
Time: 3:35
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

In the dictionary, "Dissident" is "disagreeing, as in opinion or belief" (adjective) or "one who disagrees; a dissenter" (noun).
It could also be about a man who is running from the government and decides to hide out at either his wife/ex-girlfriend/girlfriend's house. but then she gives into pressure and gives him up and turns him in.

6) W.M.A.
Time: 5:59
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

Stands for "White Male American." Rumor says that while Vs was being recorded Eddie and a black friend were talking outside the recording studio (it happened to be in a "bad" part of town). A white police officer walked up to them and started harassing Eddie's friend, but acted like Eddie wasn't even there (left him alone).

7) Blood
Time: 2:49
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

About how the media sucked the life out of the band. Made them become their own enemies.

8) Rearviewmirror
Time: 4:43
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

This is about someone who was abused so they fled the situation.

9) Rats
Time: 4:14
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

"Rats" is about society and how we, as part of society, are no better then Rats.

10) Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
Time: 3:15
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

This is about when you see someone that you haven't seen in a long time.

11) Leash
Time: 3:08
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

"Leash" is about control and telling that controlling person to fuck off. Some have said it is the sequel to "Why Go" from Ten.

12) Indifference
Time: 5:02
Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Vedder

About losing love. Also about how your live is changed when there isn't anybody in your life anymore.
