| @[scoffed:52502] I learned today that it is a cover. I like Devo in general, but I much prefer Nirvana's version of the song. Very rare for a cover to surpass the original. | |

I see this as self-directed towards the depressed individual. Connection with Kurt's demise. People say it's a "disease" to remove accountability, but more likely an honest appraisal of your life and accomplishments. You might be 43 with no kids or girlfriend sitting alone in an apartment drinking and ordering takeout, trying to not succumb to the porn. It is revolting, and pretty scary for sure. I find the song to be either motivating or providing solace in that context. It is pretty scary, but you're not a total loser if you understand the seriousness of the situation and are not denying anything, trying to think of a way out, with Kurt's ability to be a role model ending before that point. Take a look at where you are. Turnaround. Step outside. Get your shit together. You want to have an impact with your life. To be a big deal. Step outside the city/planet: As painful as all this failure is, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. There is a spiritual dimension oustside of the suffering. The "crazy restaurant" "don't believe 'em" verse would be about having the confidence and tenacity to push through self doubt and haters/trauma. Go for the moon. You deserve it. "You hear me talking" Higher self trying to push through to make you think it is possible. Crazy restaurant: Bounty which you should claim in spite of shameful hesitation. |
