I am mine, the song is about me, you and everybody. The title of the song tells you what the song could be all about, Its all about yourself.
You are who you make yourself, no-one can make you be something you are not... nothing is certain in life except birth and death, it's what you choose to do, makes you who you are...
The only thing we ever own completely is ourselves, everything else is temporary, hence the lines "I only own my mind" and "I only know my mind", No-one can control what you feel, or what to think.
The line "We're all different behind the eyes, there's no need to hide" says don't be ashamed of who you are, everyone is different, no-one is better... or rather we are not good or bad, we are different, just different.
My favourite line from the song is "I know I was born and I know that I'll die, The in between is mine, I am mine".. I often use it as my display message on messengers and my email signatures.
The chords for this song are pretty easy, but i could not figure out the intro as yet, i swear i will post it once i get it, till then enjoy Pearl jam - I am mine Guitar chords
