Dead lay in pools of maroon below Daddy didn't give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care King Jeremy the wicked Oh, ruled his world. Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Clearly I remember Pickin' on the boy. Seemed a harmless little fuck But we unleashed a lion Gnashed his teeth. And bit the recessed lady's breast How could I forget He hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurting. Dropped wide open Just like the day Like the day I heard Daddy didn't give affection.
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear King Jeremy the wicked Ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today. Try to forget this, Try to erase this, From the blackboard. Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in spoke in Jeremy spoke in spoke in Jeremy spoke in class today.
Pearl Jam Wiki Explore. Pearl Jam. Apparently the insurance money ran out at the hospital and he was deemed as "cured" and released. Subsequently he went to live with his dad and was trasferred to Richardson HS. Shortly after arriving at Richardson Jeremy's locker was searched and some controversial but not illegal religeous items were found. Also, Jeremy had made some statements regarding two Richardson faculty members that may have gone over the line.
You have to believe that being moved around like this and immediately being labeled a trouble maker would have a profound effect on a 16 year old. They pretty much put him in ISS because of the locker search and because of his stay at the psychiatric hospital, were I understand he was happier and got along with the other patients. Lisa stated that Jeremy wanted to discuss the boy she was dating and also mentioned he was having trouble with one of his techers.
She was probably the closest person to Jeremy at the time. It was pretty much solitary confinement, they didn't talk to you and you couldn't talk. Considering Jeremy was described as a quiet, lonely and distant boy, isolation was the last thing he should've been given. Lisa and Jeremy would secretly write notes back and forth at ISS and he would alway write "Write Back" on the bottom of each note. On Monday January 7th, he wrote "Later Days". She told Jeremy that he needed a pricipal's pass to even be in her room.
By this time Jeremy's life was in turmoil and he was unhappy, his parents divorced at an early age and his Dad barely knew he was even there. His school life was no better. Plus I believe there may have been underlying psychiatric problems. Jeremy got out of his seat and was gone for less than 10 minutes, Instead of going to the pricipals' office he went to his locker and retrieved a. When he returned to Barnett's class he quietly entered the classromm and walked to the front.
With no emotion he said, "Miss, I got what I really went for". He placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger before anyone could react. It's a really sad and tragic story, and I think it just really hit Eddie Vedder prompting him to write the song. AbbeyRoad52 on February 26, Link. No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. General Comment Pearl Jam is the best band on earth.
This song unfortunatly, illustrates life for thousands of teenagers. Not all of them, thank goodness, act on their rage like Jeremy, but as a 20 something, I hope that when our generation becomes parents they realize the irrelevance of being nothing but money makers. Love your children, pay attention. Know them better than anyone.
ELS24 on January 27, Link. This song brings out a strong mesage and its an awesome song i agree also with ELS24 this song paints a clear picture of iresponsible parents and the cruelty of bullying code on January 24, SilentSong19 on June 19, General Comment Written about Jeremy Wade Delle, a year-old loner from Richardson, Texas, who'd taken a gun to school and shot himself dead in English class.
General Comment This song is really meaningful, and you can really fell for the kids pain through the lyrics. In the first verse "At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top. Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V, dead lay in pools of maroon below" it shows that the kid, Jeremy, draws what he would like to feel in the drawing, like he conquered something in life and that people would actually respect him. In the next couple lines "Daddy didn't give him attention, Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care" you can really see that he was neglected all throughout his childhood, and that he didn't feel loved by anyone, or that he was even significant.
The next two lines "King Jeremy the wicked, Oh, ruled his world" shows that he felt control for the first when shooting himself at the school, and that was the only way he could of ever felt any control. The chorus of the song "Jeremy spoke in class today", means that he finally spoke out for himself and showed everyone how he felt, but that was by committing suicide in front of the class. The next verse describes what Jeremy Wade Delle actually did and what lead him to commit suicide.
The following verse, " He hit me with a surprise left, my jaw left hurting. As reported in Songfacts , he returned to class, gun in hand, and said, 'Miss, I got what I really went for,' before putting the barrel of the gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. He was one of three students in the school that year to commit suicide. In an interview with Billboard , Vedder says that he knew a kid in seventh grade with similar difficulties, who came into school one day with a gun and shot a fish tank.
The two incidents combined led him to try and write a song not meant to factually track the events of Jeremy Delle's life, but rather provide a portrait of his emotional state, and create a story that was universal in its message and sentiment.
In , Jeremy Delle's mother, Wanda Crane, spoke up for the first time about her son's death, and her feelings towards the song, as described in Ultimate Classic Rock.
