Jeremy es una canción de Pearl Jam, basada en la historia real de Jeremy Wade Delle, un joven que se suicidó frente a sus compañeros de clase en 1991. Eddie Vedder se inspiró en un pequeño párrafo que leyó en un periódico sobre el incidente. La canción discute el impacto del abandono parental y el aislamiento que puede conducir a actos trágicos.

Clearly I remember

Pickin' on the boy Seemed a harmless little fuck

But we unleashed a lion

Gnashed his teeth And bit the recess lady's breast

How could I forget

And he hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurting

Dropped wide open

Just like the day

Oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection, no!

And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
