Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics | 11 years ago |
The meaning is simple if you have been there.. "Load up on guns; bring your friends" - Guns= needles friends= encase of fallout "It's fun to lose and to pretend" - Euphoric feelings "She's over-bored and self-assured" - there is no going back, and she knows it "Oh no, I know a dirty word" - Heroin "With the lights out, it's less dangerous" - feels secure and satisfied after a shot "Here we are now; entertain us" - to messed up, they can't entertain themselves "I feel stupid and contagious" - trying it was stupid yet he still introduces it "Here we are now; entertain us" - " " "A mulatto" - Black-tar mixed with water, turns it brown "an albino" - his blue veins seen through light skin "a mosquito" - the prick of the needle and checking the drawback of blood "my libido" - Heroin is better than sex.. "Yeah, hey" - thats about all you can say after you've shot enough.. "Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello" -This about a fallout (overdose) other people trying to wake him up, he is at a very low point, very near death "I'm worse at what I do best" - doesn't think hes a good musician "And for this gift I feel blessed" - he feels blessed to create, though hes on dope "Our little group has always been" - Always felt like they were over-rated "And always will until the end" - Hes caught, and will be until death "And I forget just why I taste" - why did he start? "Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile" - it made him feel good while depressed "I found it hard; it's hard to find" - hes hardened and lost inside "Oh well, whatever, never mind" - no control, no hope, no future "a denial" - he denies this part of himself though he knows it exists, a complex confusion all addicts face and nobody else can feel unless they have been where he has. |
