That isn't TECHNICALLY about drugs, it just has a reference that can be interpreted as such, according to Lars.

Is Nirvana's come as you are about drugs?

no..........I'm a huge Nirvana fan but even I admit 99% of thier songs had no meaning.......random ramblings to great music.

Corporate Avenger - Drug Dealing God

also...

8) Everybody must get Stoned: Bob Dylan

Isn't that song actually called "Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35" .........

Being a fan doesn't mean you're accurate for saying their songs had no meaning.

Also, Hurt isn't specifically about heroin.

-AC

no.....but an observation of the lyrics does.....

load up on guns bring your friends
it's fun to lose and to pretend
she's overbored and self-assured
oh no I know a dirty word

with the lights out it's less dangerous
here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
here we are now entertain us
a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my labido.....hey

I'm worse at what I do best for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been and always will until the end

there's their biggest hit.........explain.......and afterward, please feel free to explain the subject matter of Negative Creep, Mr. Moustache, Blew, Spank Thru, Something in the Way, Territorial Pissings, Moist Vagina, Raido Friendly Unit Shifter, Tourettes, Downer, Come as you Are, Curmdudgeon, etc. etc. etc.

feel free to explain line by line the meaning.....or hell even a coherent string of thoughts that meld together in any of those songs which lend to a subject................

99% of Nirvana was Kurt writing angst ridden mumbo jumbo to sing over great rock n roll songs. Find the meanings and please, enlighten me.........the only song off the top of my head with a clear meaning is Even in his Youth.......

I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep when I'm stoned.......daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more, daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more, daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more, daddy's little girl ain't a girl no moooooooooore.............

oh yeah, it's all clear to me now.

Just so I first understand the basis of your claims:

"I don't get any meaning out of the lyrics, therefore there is no meaning"?

Is that is? Because that's remarkably stupid.

-AC

no.....it's more..

"any given line of lyrics of any given song has nothing to do with the line of lyrics that came directly before or directly after it......therefore negating the possibility of forming a coherent string of thought concerning any subject, real or implied"

I.E. teen spirit......as cited earlier......biggest hit for the band ever.

Load up on guns bring your friends.........line 1
It's fun to lose and to pretend..........line 2
She's over-bored and self assured........line 3
Oh no I know a dirty word........line 4

the ideas stated in each individual line have nothing to do with those of any of the other 3 lines of the verse........negating the possibility of any 2 lines consecutively much less all 4 lines in general (the verse) having anything to do with a coherent subject matter. That's called random rambling.....or mumbo jumbo.

Your posts remind me of Pink Floyd box sets. Wrap them in all the aesthetic pleasantries you want, make them look good but underneath they'll still be pretentious bs that isn't really saying much.

You are saying NOTHING more than "I can't find a meaning, therefore there isn't one." That is exactly what you're saying. The lyrics clearly meant SOMETHING to Kurt Cobain, just like any lyrics mean something to whoever wrote them. Your inability to grasp that doesn't mean that it's non-existent. You believe that if you apply that theory and the lyrics don't adhere to it, there's no meaning. Complete bs.

Prime example: The Mars Volta. Deplorably shit, pretentious, stream of consciousness lyrics with the odd good phrase. Cedric Bixler-Zavalla himself has said that he gets what they mean, yet many others do not.

Bottom line is: You not "getting" the lyrics doesn't mean that they are void of any meaning. Oh, that and the lyrics you quoted do infact have a very clear meaning because they are famous for it. So I'm leaning toward you not being very good at extracting lyrical definitions. Keep trying.

Just another Nirvana fan who thinks they know it all, yet ironically miss the message that Cobain was all about.

-AC

Do you think all lyrics mean something to the writer?

There's always a reason they wrote those lyrics. Even if it was "For no reason".

What was Cobain all about AC? (explain it to the U2 fan here)
