Nirvana – On a Plain Lyrics 12 years ago
Personally, I think this song has the clearest meaning of all Nirvana tracks.

It's about flying on a plane from destination A to destination B and everything that comes with it.


"I'll start this off
Without any words"

Like I said, even Kurt knows, the meaning of this song is very simple


"I got so high that"

He went on board a plane and flew high up in the sky like people in planes normally do.


"I scratched 'til I bled"

Tomato juice


"Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?"

Because he's rich he bought tickets for first class and not economy, but he hates the gap between
rich and poor and so he feels sorry for all the people who can't travel as comfortably as he does.



"The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command"

He realized he can call a stewardess if he haves a problem and doesn't have to wait till one of them realizes thats somethings wrong
like the onboard entertainment system not working etc


"I'm on a plane
I can't complain
I'm on a plane"

He is happy with travelling, pretty self-explanatory, this one.


"My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that"

The annoying plane noises gave him nightmares while he was asleep. Happens.


"The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code"

He accidentially sent his suitcase to New Zealand (again) and is worried about this.


"Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?"

The flight is awfully long and he has to watch a movie twice.


"It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense"

He writes this song.


"One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home"

The board staff tells the people to put on their seat belts because they are landing and after they arrived he can drive home from the airport.


"I'm on a plane
I can't complain
I'm on a plane
I can't complain
I'm on a plane
I can't complain
I'm on a plane
I can't complain
I'm on aplane
I can't complain"

He is at home and thinks about, how the flight, the aircraft and the staff etc was not that bad.

30 Seconds to Mars – Buddha For Mary Lyrics 12 years ago
I think this song "Butter for Mary" is about eating breakfast with no butter left (on Mars)

A simple fear to wash you away
(She thinks, maybe there is no butter left in the fridge)
An open mind canceled it today
(someone else ate it maybe without her knowing it)
A silent song that's in your words
("Fuck the one who stole my butter")
A different taste that's in your mind
(She hates Jelly)

This is the life on Mars
This is the life on Mars

(They are the first few people on a mars base, and the food is rationated, so there is never very much around at all)

Mary was a different girl
Had a thing for astronauts
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to play a lot
(This girl, Mary, always wanted to go on a space mission, because she liked space things. So she ended up on Mars)

Mary was a holy girl
Father whet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart
(She wanted butter, and there was no butter left so she "fell apart" and went crazy to find out, who ate it)

Tell me did you see her face
Tell me did you smell her taste
(The others are afraid of her because she was so angry and talk about her when she's not looking)

Tell me what's the difference
Don't they all just look the same inside?
( She hates them all, and thinks they are all the same because she still don't know who ate the butter)

Butter for Mary
Here it comes
(NASA launched a new rocket with butter on it to mars)

Mary was an acrobat
But still she couldn't seem to breathe
Mary was becoming everything she didn't want to be
Mary would hallucinate
And see the sky up on the wall
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fly
(Abstinence syndroms, she sits in her room and believes she could fly to earth herself to get butter)

He said, "Can you help me, are you sleeping"
She said, "Will you rape me now?"
He said, "Leave the politics to mad men"
She said, "I believe your lies"
(Someone talks with her in a silent moment, and he says, he didn't eat anything butter related, but he is lying. He ate it, but he's too much of a coward to tell her the terrible truth. He tells her to calm down and wait for the NASA rocket delivery)

He said, "There's a paradise beneath me"
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
He said, "You better pray to Jesus"
She said, "I don't believe in God"
(He wants her to think of something else than butter, so they talk about religion)

If Mary ever gets the butter is unknown, but its likely possible, hence the songs title.
