Lyric discussion by jenwill2 

Two words: Heroin withdrawal... after reading the "most unauthorized biography" of Courtney Love, what else could it possibly be? (Heroin is brown, hence the coral part, and the deer part, aka "deer in the headlights" part, must refer to the pin-point "I'm a heroin addict" pupils Kurt sported; also, the book talks about the runny nose coming from heroin withdrawal.)

It may be but I think Kurt made a joke out of the whole song...He said "We were making fun of ourself" When people asked him how he was Kurt would reply "You know I hate myself and want to die!"
