| The Cribs – Leather Jacket Love Song Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOgzOjMGKbk - An amazingly sentimental video. The brothers were explaining how they found some old tapes in a documentary. This song is definitely in some ways a look back at their journey to where they are now. If anything it's a leather jacket love song written to their true love: music. |

| The Cribs – Back to the Bolthole Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=26105 - Mentions Ryan's feelings on mortality and their trips out to NW USA. I do want to include some references and definitions: "We go back to the Bolthole. Crack open the Rainiers. The oxygen makes you thin here. A Cascadian rainfall." Rai·nier - a volcanic peak in W Washington, in the Cascade Range. 14,408 feet bolt-hole 1. a hole in the ground, protected opening in bushes, etc., into which an animal can flee when pursued or frightened. 2. a place or avenue of escape or refuge And the subtle hint to Ryan's struggles with anorexia: "The oxygen makes you thin here." And let's not forget his break up with his long time girlfriend prior to writing this song. I will get into some more speculation as to how possibly his eating disorder could have been a reason for their relationship ending. Could it be that the bolt-hole was being searched for by Ryan but he couldn't hide from his problems? The Cribs leave quite a few subtle clues to some of their more personal inspirations lyrically and if you know enough about them you can piece together a very intimate picture. I hope this all makes sense and I'm not just speculating on nothing. |

| Nirvana – I Hate Myself and Want to Die Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ok. This will be a lengthy post. I've been a huge fan of nirvana for a long time. I know Kurt often changed up his lyrics, or mumbled them during recordings to an almost indistinguishable state. The chorus of this song is no different. In his journals I believe the lyrics are as documented, but there is more than on interpretation of the chorus. Particularly when you look at any live performances of this song (there are few to none available online), you'll hear him mumble non-cohesively into the mike something like this: "In the someday, where's/what's the son/sun?" also it's apparent he sings this in one of the bootlegs "In the Sunday, where's/what's the son/sun?" These two interpretations have actually given me quite a definitive insight as to the direction of the actual song as it would apply to the In Utero album (had it been chosen as a track), or possibly the thesis of his entire religious/philosophical viewpoints relative to the song Very Ape: a song which highlights the imperfections of man, as a species. In Kurt's work throughout his life, you'll see echoes of his "hate" for organized religion and its manipulation and control over the masses from past to present. Particularly in his journals you will see this. To further solidify my argument, you'll see that the religious/scientific focus of this song applies to the overall concept of the In Utero album. Nothing seems too far off when you interpret the chorus the same way I have. This is merely an insight into the depth, meaning, and implied meaning of the song I Hate Myself and Want to Die. I hope others have interpreted the chorus the same way I have. C.R. R.I.P. Kurt |
