    Fun fact: The band confirmed the story of the music video. The man suffers from terrible agoraphobia and social anxiety. He's very lonely and every day he looks through his telescope to watch people interact and takes down notes on how to socialize. He tries going out several times but is too scared and ends up changing his mind. He then has a breakdown from the isolation. Eventually he has enough and at the end he musters up the courage to leave his roof and goes out to see the world and try to make himself happy

      Another fact: John Rzeznik was terribly depressed by that time, so he wasn't able to write or compose anything. And this song was a relief.

    Reading through the comments, listening to this song and remembering the late 90s and early 2000s has made me realize that we are the first generation to grow old together in real time. Though millions of us have never met, from city to the boondocks, somehow we all share similar experiences and nostalgia. I imagine once we become elderly we will all still be sitting in these very comment sections reminiscing about 1998.

      @@markhamhayseed3709 I think that you misunderstood me. I was replying only to @awsomeo1979's sarcastic "Yeah that happened." I agree that this happened; "r/nothingeverhappens" is a reference to a subreddit that mocks Internet users who assume, like @awsomeo1979, that a plausible situation, such as @pippass9005's, never happened for no apparent reason. In other words, the "nothing ever happens" is sarcasm to match the baseless assumption (i.e., "yeah that happened" here) that this could not have possibly happened. I hope this clarifies the intent of my comment for you! 😊

    'Iris' is a freakin emotional rollercoaster, man! You can practically feel every word Johnny Rzeznik sings deep in your bones. And those guitar riffs? PURE magic. Whether you're belting it out in your car or letting it hit you in the feels at home, Iris is one of those tracks that just gets better every time you hear it. It's like it's got its own little spot in your heart, yk???!!!

      Nah its too cheesy and cliche of a song to come off as authentic and impactful. If you want this type of music but with more edge and actual impact, listen to Creed; much better guitar tone and riffs (surely Tremonti is way better than some singer guy who looks like, well, a doll), better voice and lyrics.

    this song has always been so special to me, I can't help but get super emotional listening to this even now. I remember listening to this when I was twelve, sobbing, thinking I'd never make it to fourteen, but here I am, eighteen and going strong. It's saved my life more times than I'd like to admit over the years and I'll forever be grateful that this song exists. I'm getting a soundwave of this song tattooed over my self harm scars soon. Thank you.

      This song is Satanic plain and simple. It is a song about the singer wanting a spirit to enter himself as he says "and I don't want the world to see me as I don't think that they'd understand" why is it that he doesn't want the world to see him???? Please don't tell me you think this was a lyric about a woman lol you'd want the world to know you thought about your girl right??? He is talking about wanting to be possessed and that he knows sooner or later it's over (his life once the spirit is done with him).....it's a dark evil song made to hide in plain sight. Sorry but things aren't what they seem. But carry on.

    • @YBTMH

      Also, he keeps looking through the one eyed lense of the telescope.....one eye is showing one eyes is looking through into "space" notice also that there are no women in this video......because again he is NOT talking about a woman or love he is talking about the spirit he is trying to summon via this song. He is telling you who is talking to and what he is apart of via the imagery in the video. Wake up.

    It's funny and amazing how the comment sections of most old-school alternative rock songs have turned into storytelling platforms as the songs age. People talking about *love, loss, friends, Life, loved ones, family , personal life trials, wins and experiences, and everything in between* . The power of music is remarkable and beautiful, and it will forever be a part of our species' story. :)

The lyrics ended up being rather close to heart, after a thorough listen, in a way that they weren't at all when this came out when I was in High School in 1998.

      After coming from the 70s 80s gen of music. This song is a standout for content and quality. And that's saying a lot. I still got Led Zeppelin in my blood. Lol

    It’s such a soulful song to me. Like it feels like it could’ve been originally an R&B or country song but it’s still so amazing.

      I listen to mostly 90s and 2000s, especially while I'm at work. I'm 24, so I wasn't teenager when songs like these were popular. I didn't even hear them that often as a kid. However, I can see myself getting nostalgic for these once time passes, as they've helped me get through busy days and lazy hours.

      @@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 I'm 18 and I feel the exact same way about old music. Sometimes when I listen to songs that were popular before I was even born, I feel nostalgic as if I used to listen to them all the time when it's in fact the first time I'm hearing about them.
      It's both weird and beautiful, and for some reason it makes me feel human again

    it is a song that kind of takes you into the darkness or lonelynes of your own psyche. and it does illustrate the way a lot of teens were in the 90's

    This song sends shivers down my spine. Deep down I can relate and the line “I don’t want the world to see me, I don’t think they’d understand” hits like a train. I am socially anxious, and afraid to be myself. I love the song so much but it also hurts to listen to it
