| Nirvana – Do Re Mi Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Listened to this again today. Listened really closely this time. I heard different stuff. I'm not hearing the don't break me that thesaracenspecial pointed out; but I can kind of hear if I listen for it. I'm almost positive this is what is being said: If I may And if I might Lay me down Weeping If I say What it's like I might be dreaming If I say What is right Summertime see me heal Those years in his bonnet The face from his pocket And chains holding the wind Lifelong dream - re he mi - re mi - do re mi - do re hee If I may And if I might Wake me up And see me If I do And If I like Find me how to see If I may Cold as ice I may how to see me Heal Raised in his socket Raised from his moment A chase from his socket I will need - re he mi (x2) - do re mi (x4) Wish me good Wish me light Find me, how to see me In your way just be quiet Follow pain and breed me Yell or wail And if I sigh Sink me how TV If I may and if I might Golden good to bleed Praised in his pocket Raised from his moment A chase from his owner in my tea - do re mi - re he hee - re he mi - do re mi (x5) I wonder what the significance of the do re mi parts are still. He changes between: do re mi, do re hee, re mi, re he hee, re he mi" . |

This song, like any Nirvana song, has so many meanings and possible meanings/references that it can make your head spin. To those who believe in "What you see is what you get" - i dont understand your logic. If you listen to any of the band's other songs you will see how Kurt played with words and intentionally made things sound very gray. In agreeance with a poster before me, this "style" added to Nirvana's appeal and mystery. Proof of that is some of us still bickering some 10 years after Kurt is dead. Some things that i have thought of while hearing these lyrics over the years (apologize for repetition): *Do Re Mi - Music Scale. duh. *Do Re Mi could be a reference to the way he saw the events of his past behind him and the path that lies before him; since Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do is a sequence and the mood of the song is not exactly like his others it seems a positive outlook. *The song could be a description of some kind of fight that was going on inside of him at the time. *Do Re Mi could be an intentional "last words before death" kind of deal. Some of the words are stressed where its like he is reminiscing his past and coming to a realization that he can leave this all behind. Like he was ready and experienced all that he set out to do. But then again, he never meant for nirvana to become so popular and become what it did. *Do Re Mi/Dont Rape Me: funny and a possibly a reference to "Rape Me". You could also say that the drugs were welcomed before and now they are not, hence Dont rape me. Whatever the reason for this song, it definitely had a reason and a purpose for its creation. |

What i get from this song is that you can apply it to many situations in life. When i listen to this song i feel life. I do agree with previous posters that it likely was written with the intentions to describe drugs and the group's past run-ins with drug abuse and coming clean. When one reads these lyrics they are powerful because they can apply to people's moods/feelings. I could see it meaning "Growing up and leaving home" even though im pretty sure its not. I could also see this song being a reflection of one's life - the things one got to try/not try, sacrificed, missed opportunites/taken opp, wisdom attained/lost/created questions. Snow referring to afterlife and the things that dont seem so bad in hindsight. Towards the end it seems that the person hits a sad realization that all they can do is move on even though their past will be forgotten by all. Also, "From the road to the sea to the sky and i do believe what we rely on" -- possibly means that he believes in religion since most people rely on religion as a means to get around. |
