Bleach

 

Blew

 

Floyd the Barber

Basically, this song just tells about a peaceful town that had gone bad. How everything was going good and was so happy on the outside but it had a dark center. Everyone is not who they seem to be. And Kurt just realizes this and has lost his innocence

 

About a Girl

This song tell about when Kurt was living with his girlfriend and she threatened to kick him out if he didn't get a job

 

School

This song tell about when Kurt first came to Seattle and saw the many cliques and how much it reminded him of school. "We're in high school again" means that he back the to whole social standards that were in high school

 

Love Buzz

This song is a cover of Shocking Blue. Seems to be about a boy who likes a girl and wants her to feel that way about him. Maybe he doesn't have the nerve to ask her out so or he wants her to notice him

 

Paper Cuts

To me, this song seems to be sung through the eyes of a animal. Like a pet hamster or rat. When he says lines like:"The lady whom I feel maternal love for Cannot look me in the eyes" Maybe his owner can't feel the love he feels for her. And the whole situation he describes just seems to be like he's in a cage. A lot of people believe its about when he was young his parents would lock him up in a bathroom and slide dinner under the door.

 

Negative Creep

This song seems to be about being rejected by society and not accepted by anyone. And the person just can't get out of it and be normal he just has to live with being a "Negative Creep"

 

Scoff

This song is dedicated to all of the people that didn't believe in Kurt. The people who didn't think he could sing or play or that he would be successful.

 

Swap Meet

This is about love in a swap meet setting. I'm not to sure at all what else there is too it, I would love suggestions

 

Mr. Moustache

This song is Kurt sarcastically talking to a "macho man". Like patronizing them say how good they are and how bad he is

 

Sifting

I don't know. I need help with this one....

 

Big Cheese

This is about a Sub Pop record guy. How he pushed Nirvana around. I need edits to this interpretation

 

Downer

This is Kurts attempt at a political song..

 

 

 

 

Nevermind

 

Smells Like Teen Spirit

 

 

In Bloom

This song is about a Nirvana fan who only listens to the songs because they are popular and they don't care about the message behind them. There is a lot more behind the this song that I will get to when I update my site.

 

Come As You Are

 

 

Breed

This song is about having the American dream.

 

Lithium

This song..Im not to sure about. Maybe about going crazy or having a nervous breakdown

 

Polly

This song is about a girl who was kidnapped and raped. She only escaped after she pretended that she liked the things that were happening to her

 

Territorial Pissings

 

Drain You

This is a love song where the two people in love are shrunken down to their most innocent form as a baby. A great song about love. Two people who haven't been corrupted by the world are in love and together in a perfect little world with no worries because they are so naive and innocent. I think that it is the best song on Nevermind. Beautifull melody with great lyrics to aid it. A great nirvana song .

 

Lounge Act
