Nirvana – Aerozeppelin Lyrics 11 years ago
A desperate attempt to bring about the true meaning of alternative music.
"You could shit upon the stage" - this is a reference to GG Allin.
Implies where music is going is a fad. "They'll be fans"
Those who make rhymes have too much time on their hands.
Picking words for their sound and meaning instead of rhyming/ iambic pentameter is the true meaning of music. Connecting the dots between classic and punk was the goal of Nirvana. The season of love or hippies ended thanks to disco and the 80's. A failed revolution. What do we get? We could loose it all.
Backstreet Boys, Nysync and dubstep? History repeats itself.

Melvins – Sky Pup Lyrics 11 years ago
I believe it is about the dog named "gunner" who was in the Australian military during WWII. The dog could detect planes coming and inspired "remote siren devices". The dog made sirens obsolete detecting planes 20 minutes before the sirens went off. Consequently as a result the wild stray dogs on the base were then ordered to be shot on site.

A nice watery chorus pedal. As for the song interpretation.

Nirvana – Spank Thru Lyrics 12 years ago
In my opinion Spank Thru is about using masturbation in order to prevent rape. First by creating symbols (motif), emotions, action and moral consciousness.

In the soft pretentious mountains
(Making bold appearances or first impressions)
Twas in the light of the trees
(Possibilities and confidence)
And all the flowers sing in D minor
(Possibly near the end of their life cycle minor keys are usually sad)
And the birds fly happily
(Happily taking flight or leaving; migration)

We'll be together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby
I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you only break my heart
(Candid desperation through first denial, desperation, confusion then sadness)

I can feel it, I can hold it
I can bend it, I can shape it, I can mold it
(contorting one's genitals in order to masturbate while imagining a partner)
I can cut it, I can taste it (self grooming and infatuation)
I can spank it, I can beat it, masturbate it (ejaculation)

I've been looking for day glow (every day brings new light/ new opportunity)
Always hearing the same ol' (Having confidence even after rejection)
Sticky boredom with a book
I can make it do things you wouldn't think it ever could (asserting sexuality)

Nirvana – Paper Cuts Lyrics 12 years ago
The first lines show being held captive and in an emaciated state.

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate
(This line reveals the captor is the mother, however I interpret the last lines as the Mother immensely enjoying torturing her son)

I said so
Nirvana
(The Mother feels a sense of power over the son and enjoys it all too much)


I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones (Could refer to an older ultimate being)
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away
(Could refer to an Alien abduction over Grays Harbor as often imagined by KC)

And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
To take you with me
You're right
Nirvana

In my opinion this is a narrative of the worst case scenario for the family KC knew who were locked away in the dark.

When starving a person can experience hallucinations and euphoria.
Mental purpose has been removed due to the darkness therefore imaginary personalities are created to adapt. They exist to preoccupy and prevent insanity and the friends will be carried on sub-consciously. Because of the Nirvana the victim may or may not even be alive but abandoned and left for dead only to be rescued by his own conscious "they bring out the older ones". "they" is very vague because only , They lady, hers and first person are used. Therefore they could refer to either aliens or the peace within the persons mind. Because "They took my family away" which created the victim's Nirvana rather than the Mother's whose was earlier in the narrative.
There are two Nirvana's according to my interpretation. Either this or the whole song is about the holocaust.

Nirvana – Downer Lyrics 12 years ago
Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your free country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland boring plain
(Describes the Kennedy family and Frances Farmer, JFK's death and the need for a Vietnam war to carry out the cold war but not being epic enough)

Hold me down in restitution (Surrendering after a struggle)
Living out your date with fusion (Implies forces at work that are predetermined)
Is the whole fleece shun in master? (A sense of duty from higher power)
Don't feel guilty, master writing (Deism)

Somebody thought that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words you go along
I sing your song
(Trying to empathize and ultimately epitomize with the audience)

Sickening pessimist hypocrite master
(Corrupt Nanny State; do as I say not as I do with a malicious medical theme)
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
(An absolute authoritarian state; the mark of the beast is proposing all mankind be connected through implanted scan-able microchips banking and religion)
Thank you dear God for putting me on this earth (damnation)
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst
(I feel very frivolous. death in mind, Nurse!)

Living in a society where your born into debt is why this song is called downer because a free country wouldn't need defending. An obligation to serve yet the the true purpose is evil

Technically not Communism is an economic ideology and Conservatism is a judicial ideology whose opposite would be liberalism, communists being capitalism. But you're right there was no official political spectrum then.

Nirvana – Blandest Lyrics 12 years ago
You're my favorite
Of my Saviours
You're my favorite
Who knows (Someone with secrets but with sarcasm, who doesn't know?)

Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no (Implies someone is sharp like a razor;attractive yet destructive)

And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought (Relationship, addiction or literally drugs)
I need you around
To remind me what not to become (when not to be calm)

The last lines imply that (KC) may despise the person and have remorse for his actions however he views himself superior. Possible drug references but probably refers to a person that emotionally owed/pitied him. Perhaps did drugs and compared their level of addiction or took out their self loathing on each other. Or could view tolerance as what not to become *a weakling who can't handle his shit* and would rather have a resistance feeling invincible at least compared to the other person.

Nirvana – Curmudgeon Lyrics 12 years ago
Sounds like a future reflection of living life with children but in a pessimistic view.

I can't hide, no
On the mantle (During Christmas stockings are placed on a fireplace mantle)
I'm not sad
Tilling that hoe (Implies hardwork/ labor was worth effort or sexual reference)


It's the season (Winter coming to spring after winter solstice)
I'm all reason (Implies guilt/blame)
I have seen (reflects on past experiences)
All I have grown (Implies an ability to forsee; uncanny intutition)

Sheared at the seams (castration or feminine )
Cheat on me
And not seen
At the seams (The last lines refer to deities or omnipotency in a masquerade appeareance like Santa Claus)

I'm a lender
I'm a planter (These lines show giving/loving but planting a mental seed)
I put something
In the garden (Dead Christmas tree that lingered)

In the handle
On the mantle
I'm not Santa
I'm a god (The implications on kids of pretending to be santa)

I want a lady
Can you save me? (Ms. Claus or two parents)
It's the sulfur
I have grown (Sulfur the aroma of pine becoming putrid)

'Tis the season
I'm all reason (Parents continuing to tell the lie of Chirstmas)
I have fleas
So run on home (A simple excuse of why Santa would be missing, Reindeer)
