I'm using the official video to help me with this interpretation. http://youtu.be/QbjDFzEQOw8 guy wants to buy something that he really loves, but his woman doesn't get it. he is venturing out past her comfort zone, but it's for a bigger purpose, which is to do something or have something he loves. He still respects her and loves her, despite not doing everything she's comfortable with. |

| Dinosaur Jr. – Been There All the Time Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
sounds like a song about feeling awkward in social situations, but having a friend who is totally cool who you want to be more like, or who you wish you could ask what you're doing wrong so you can correct it Can I fix it and still care? (how can I be cool without being a dick?) Can I run and you'll be there? (Can you help me out? Because you're so cool) Wish that I could run and hide (I feel so awkward) Juggling messages inside (I hear double meanings to everything) Stalling, trying to buy more time (Faking it til I make it) Can I be a part of you? (Can I be like you?) How to get there, what to do? (What do I have to do?) Can I get there from inside? (Does it come from inside me OR Can I get inside of you and figure out how to be cool) Of all the ways I could have tried (I've tried alot of things to be cool) Can I be there all the time? (Sometimes I am cool! I wish I could be there all the time) Is it all me? (Sort of a double meaning - he's asking is it all up to me to be cool, but he's also asking, does it come from inside vs. something you do on the outside) Can I feel another way? (can i feel better about myself or something? it's not all just smoke and mirrors, the way I show myself to the world) Can I bring out to stay? (I'd like to be this way - cool - more often) Can you capture what I've done? (can you dissect the actions I've done to feel more cool so I can duplicate them) Play it back so I don't run (help me feel comfortable with this new me) Now I'm walking on the sun (?) It's not mine (you don't have control over being cool) Take me fine (he's submitting to being himself) With a smile (i'm cool with my weirdness) Been there all the time (now he's saying, i've always been cool, but it took me a while to figure out how to let that person live outside of me) |

| Nirvana – Heart-Shaped Box Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Just my opinion: "She eyes me like [what I am, which is] a Pisces, when I am weak" - Meaning, “she can see through me, and she knows when I am most vulnerable/can be taken advantage of” (Kurt is a Pisces) "I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks" – The “heart-shaped box” is imagery for vagina, but it also has secondary meaning as a lifeless, loveless, pretend relationship (i.e. it’s a box that is shaped like a heart, versus a real heart with real love). He expresses how he doesn’t know how to get out of this cyclical problem (that’s why he’s “locked inside”…“for weeks”) of pretending they have a good and loving relationship, when they really don’t "I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap" – Magnet tar pit trap refers to bad feelings or attitudes or sentiment that his partner experiences, that he also gets drawn into. Her feelings are contagious to him so he starts to “turn black” also. "I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black" – He wishes he could eat her cancer (referring to a general sadness/pain she experiences, that also grows like a cancer would grow) "when you turn black" - when she gets sad/angry, etc. He wishes it was as easy as picking up a fork and physically removing the problems she has. Courtney is a Cancer (astrologically speaking) so he is also referring to her holding grudges and being a general cunt (Cancers are known for holding grudges and not forgiving people, and are sensitive people) “The hey, wait...I've got a new complaint…” part is about them arguing. Kurt is sarcastic when he says, “I’m forever in your debt for your priceless advice”. It's a cutting statement, that means the opposite of what it actually says. “I think you're a fucking idiot”, is what it really says. "Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet" - referring to how Courtney holds grudges (meat-eating orchid is a vagina). Courtney is a Cancer, and Cancers are known for holding grudges. He is tormented by how long she holds these grudges and how it is reflected in their sex together. "Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath" – The imagery is: you think you're handling something soft and sweet, but you're getting cut. Logically, it is the opposite of what you think it should be. This refers to their relationship, in that "we should love each other and care about each other, but we actually harm each other. We pretend we care about each other, but we’re actually harming each other” "Broken hymen of your Highness, I'm left back" - kurt feels he is secondary to courtney's feelings (broken hymen is only something courtney can have, and he feels she puts her problems/feelings in front of his problems and feelings. He gives up on fighting with her ("i'm left back") when she starts to argue about things he doesn't understand because he can't experience them (her broken hymen). he also calls her "your Highness" to show sarcasm about how he thinks she is a royal bitch, like he has to obey her needs, but his are disgarded as not mattering. "Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back" – Even when he knows she is being inconsiderate and crazy, he willingly goes back to living in a mentally crazy world with her. He is also part of the problem, and he recognizes that. He's frustrated because doesn't have any idea on how to fix the problem. |
