After listening to this many many time over the years (in all different states of minds) I've always puzzled over a meaning that really fits the song. I've just realised that it fits perfectly for addiction (whether that was the intention is something else). Up until the lyrics is just a repetition on the same riff just getting more intense with more noisy processed elements trying to unsustainable add to it. Lyrics fit nicely with an addiction where stopping is hell and not stopping is hell. Addicts can't moderate usage so they have to "turn it off forever" to recover. Then as you go on living in recovery you start off with the same simple repetition but slowly as you heal you find new elements, new ways to enjoy life and then as you die you end back where you started. The "ever blind" bit, I'd say it's saying you have to always be blind to the joy that the addiction brought you to find the new possibilities. |

| Nirvana – Lithium Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| @[BigGeorgieB:198] To the guy talking about speed, a hypomanic episode makes you horny. Also I think the "I like it, I'm not going to crack ect." I think that's about the lithium killing the hypomania that he loves and craves but he killed it with lithium and isn't going to crack and stop taking it. I'm bipolar and take lithium and it seems to fit for me. | |
| VAST – Dirty Hole Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think the whole Sex/STD thing is too obvious and I like to think that the meaning is more abstract. To me this song is about Drug Addiction. He is singing about being in the hole of living a life purely for the drug and choosing that over really living. Drug addicts often don't dream and or it could be taken as no dreams of achievements. The spread her thighs is the bit the sounds obviously about sex but it could just be a metaphor for preparing drugs and then thinking he could take these drugs or not and change his life. Anyway, to me this song is more powerful when I take that perspective and I listened to it a lot when trying to quit marijuana but it probably suits something like heroin more, that is really a dirty hole to die in. |
