Although at first he may seem to be just your average angst ridden lead man

shows that Pearl Jam's second album, "Versus", has been used by Vedder as
sounding boards for the complex emotions and change of perspective that come
with one's transition to vampirism. Other lyricists have used vampiric images
before - for instance Sting, in Moon Over Bourbon Street, which was written in
first person - but Vedder is unique in that his lyrics evolve over time as being
