| Lady Sovereign – Random Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Rap is about the way you say things, not what you say. If what you say would be of main importance, their would be no need for a beat. Rap has always been and always will be STYLE, wich you can see in the close connections of rappers to their hoods. Rap is a represention of your origin. It's exactly this fragmentation of rap wich makes it so interesting, it's like you get sucked into the life and world of the MC. If you don't like this multi-colouredness wich typifies rap, then you're neglecting it's origins. If we hadn't been interested in different cultures we would have never known of rap! In this I think lady sovereign gives a mighty good representation of her origins, she uses the language she's been raised with, blends it with great beats and a fresh flow, so i would dare to say lady sovereign is exactly what rapmusic is all about. |

| Of course you're right Angel, and the fact that bastard kurt is mumbling himself a way through the song doesn't make it easyer to figure out the exact meaning but to be honest to me the harmony of kurts voice and guitar tell everything you need to know. In fact it gives already enough meaning so to make exact verbal explanation unnecessary | |

BETTER she seemed truly mine, and I know a later time, we could leave, me and you, we're the same, hold me, hold me I'm pretty convinced he only mentiones 'old age' at the end of the song. It seems to me he alters between "we're the same" and "leave this cell" greetings |

one more day to complete my service, one more hell to decay my nervous wondering how I could find my way and it's over. She seemed truly mine, and I don't ever doubt we could leave, me and you, leave this cell. Hold me, hold me... I think this must be his first song about leaving music and find some place quiet. |

| Nirvana – Milk It Lyrics | 19 years ago |

To me the whole song seems like the description of a heroineshot, from the viewpoint of the heroine, “as if it was a person”. The first verse seems like a seduicing talk, were kurt gets talked into it. “I promise you I’me my own parasite, I don’t need a host to live”, then the heroine goes a step further as to convince kurt to share his endorphins with him and to feed off of him. Then the tone alters, as if the needle starts losing it’s patience. “Come on doll!!! Steak!!” as if kurt really has to talk in on himself with every shot he takes, he has to push himself onto the edge before he’s capable of inserting the needle. While the heroines only goal is to taste his meat as quick as possible, it doesn’t care for consequences. Before the heroine starts working he mentions suicide seemed the only way out Perhaps that’s why he’s using it, to make his situation more bearable (using heroine to forget his pain wich makes him depressive). The next moment he’s lying on the floor, lost eyesight now the heroine is on his side. At first it’s heaven, but soon the high is over and he falls back into his brokenboned body. Then side effect start to show, lack of iron and/or sleeping. The next verse kurt describes how the addiction has become a familiar part of/to him. He banalizes it. The next phrase describes how the addiction – originally used as remedy against his depression - has become a problem itself. Her “milk” (milk normally refers to a source of development and life, as he thougt it would help him deal with his life) has become his “shit”, reffering to the problems it causes. So he constatates the heroine has led him to all sorts of problems, And these problems lead him to use more, they are the milk to the heroine and keep the addiction alive. It illustrates nicely the cicle you fall into with an addiction. In the last part of the song kurt describes how he feels like he has reincarted every time after a shot, but it’s not exactly a happy birthday, everytime he falls back into the same languishing body, the heroine is the “protector” of the kennel he is, Its scent is still in the place and he knows it always will. |

Like slackmaster already noted, it must be "inclousion came to you". I also think he's singing "you're really in a lobby room, you're really in a lovely room", reffering to the way his succes has put him in this steril luxurous waitingroom, waiting for the next show to come like a circusanimal , trapped and locked away from everything ordinary he loved in live. Like he said in some interview "When I used to be poor and I could find something I liked in a secondhand store that used to be special to me, now I can buy the whole store but everything has lost its meaning (these are not the exact words of Cobain but what I remember from the interview)". |

| I have read many of your comments and their seems to be a lot of discussion about the right lyrics. After listening to the song for several times it came clearer and clearer. It appears he's actually singing "End it SOMEday, what's that SOME". It can mean different things, reffering to withdrawal, stop making music, stop his marriage. I think its a song with a lot of meaning and I think kurt had the feeling he had to get over with a lot of stuff...(not his life though) | |
