| Nirvana – Something in the Way Lyrics

I think the bridge is metaphorical, that it represents the thing separating himself from the people moving on while he remained stationary. He felt he was beneath them. These people could be his family, since he moved around so much he never felt accepted. Or it could be that it's all closing in on him, that he'll be forever alone under the bridge. |

This sounds like the plot on the book Lolita by Vladimir Nobokov. |

| Nirvana – School Lyrics
| 10 years ago

The first few lyrics, ''Wouldn't you believe it it's just my luck,'' may be about that time in High School that Kurt tried to commit suicide. He sat down on the rails of a train track, but at the last second, the train went on the opposite set of tracks. ''No recess'' could mean can't quit life and the pattern that he falls into with that. |

| Neil Young – My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) Lyrics

Come on people, get it together. He mentions Johnny Rotten (the Sex Pistols) and ''The King'' (Meaning the King of Punk, Sid Vicious, who was the bassist of the Sex Pistols.) He died in 1979 (the year this album was released) of a heroine overdose instead of slowly dying away. This is also about Kurt Cobain, hence the infamous line Neil wrote in Kurt's honor, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." So, yes this is about Sid Vicious. |

| Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb Lyrics

|
I think this is about a musician who is taking drugs and is looking back at his childhood thinking "what happened to my life?" He can barely feel any emotion for the music he's playing anymore because he's numbed from the heroine. |

My father was a big Neil Young fan, and I eventually became one too. He told me this was about infamous Sid Vicious, the bassist for the Sex Pistols in the '70s. Sid was never a heroine drug addict until meeting Nancy Spungen, a heavy heroine addict and overall drug abuser. Sid fell for her and eventually became one too, and so Nancy dragged her man down with her to the grave. He did love her, and before his death, he was kicked out of the Sex Pistols to spend his last days with his hopeless addiction, and eventually dying in 1979 after Nancy. |
