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
