@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
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 libido
Yeah, hey, yay
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
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 libido
Yeah, hey, yay
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
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 libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Whoo! First to comment and I actually put this up so yay.
Uhm, this song, if you listen to it, is more garage-sounding and all together WAAAY more awesome and less commercial than the other Teen Spirit. I think it shows way more emotion. To me, it's about people who go crazy at parties, or something like that. Or "scene" people who think they're so awesome, but really, they're just stupid or shallow.
As I said, I think this version of the song better comes through on the actual meanings of the song. If you haven't listened to it, but like the other Teen Spirit, I highly reccomend you listen to this version.
this version is a better then the studio ver cause this is what kurt wanted the lyrics to be and it wasnt good enough for them bastards sub pop so he had to change them
It wasn't Sub Pop, it was DGC. That's part of the issue: they were on a major label, the label didn't like it, so they had to change it.
this lyrics are fuckin awsome but a dont have the chance to listen to it please somebody tell me where i can download SLTS with this lyrics!!!!!
Its about the shallow people who posted the 1000 comments on the other version of SLTS this is about coming out-I.E Kurt was all for gay pride but also coming of corporate America and making up the rules forgetting everything and living life the free way its like Kurt wishes it could be that way for 1 day just a day and he would be happy. Kurt has alot of mixed messages but they are never as deep as they seem.
I love going, "Wanna listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit?" to all those "Teen Spirit" Nirvana fans and then blasting this one. I think this one is a more real version of what the other one was trying to say and Kurt's view on his own popularity "we're so stupid/ and we're famous" and stuff. But, as the person above me said, he sent a lot of mixed messages but they weren't as deep as people dig them out to be.
umm im pretty sure your retarded if your not kiddingabout them comming out of retirement. Kurt is dead sadly but his music lives on and they will be one of thoses bands that everyone listens to for generations
One thing about this song tho is after it became soo famous they hated it because thats all people would think of when they heard nirvana so i think they changed it on the box set because they hated how much attention it got before and they wanted to make it saound better so the people who acctualy apreciated there music could enjoy it more
thats what i think anyways
oh yea and nirnana IS NOT POP!!!!!! they were Grunge or some people call them 90's punk or just rock

I figured that true fans of music would search out this version of the song; I hope that you will take what I've made for what it is.
I like this version of Teen Spirit. This version was played at the OK Hotel in Seattle on April 17, 1991, with Kurt also playing "Come As You Are", alongside Bikini Kill (whose lead singer, Tobi Vail, was Kurt's girlfriend at the time). There are different lyrics in this version, which I like better than the original.
If they took this version and made it studio-quality, it would be twice as better as the Nevermind SLTS.
i hate u screed
