Pixies – Caribou Lyrics 15 years ago
First, to the person who posted that Smells Like Teen Spirit was patterned after Gouge Away, it was (per Cobain) patterned after U-Mass. Listen to both, the similarities are striking.

About Caribou, I think it is clearly about reincarnation.

I live cement,
I hate this street,
Give dirt to me.
(this life sucks, wish i were dead)

This human form,
Where I was born,
I now repent.
(i was born human, but i wish i weren't)

Caribou
(my choice for my next form)

Give me white,
Ground to run,
And foregone.
(carefree life of animal, nothing is expected)

Lets me knife,
Knife me lets,
I will get
What I like
(either the knife will get me or i will get the knife (suicide))
(either way, i will get what i like (death))
