Nirvana – Blandest

"Blandest" as written by and Kurt Cobain....
You're my favorite
Of my saviours
You're my favorite
Who knows

Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no

Hey!

And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me what not to become

Calm, calm, calm

    General Commenti think its talking about anything that can hurt you, with reference to cutting yourself. youre my favourite of my saviours, youre my razor
    this could be talking about a person, who he is close to, and hurts him often, causes him pain, he needs them around to remind him when not to be calm ie, when he can be himself, and let go, "to remind me what not to become" someone who hurts people so much

    just a thought.

    General CommentI think kurt is using razor as a compliment. I believe he refers to razor as in someone cutting themselves, and people never cut themselves when they don't like the pain. Maybe he's refering to something that is saving him for the time being, but i the end will end up killing him.

    General CommentI'm not sure of the real meaning of the song, but i like how it sounds. but in my opinion i just dont think its about hurting someone, or any thing like that, just because the word razor is used in the song.

    General CommentI think that this song is about a relationship that isn't going very well. When he says, " And the situation wasn't quite as intense as I thought." I think it meant that he was very deeply into the relationship and suddenly it hit him that she doesn't feel the same in it. And how he's using opposite comparisons. Such as " my savior, my razor. " I think this shows how even though he loves her, she's not good for him.

    General Commentthis song is about stress, don't stress, chillout and smoke pot, dont get over-stressed, 'the situation wasn't quite as intense as i thought' it is in the context of a relationship. Youre my razor you cut me, but maybe I deserve it, get my drift.......................as in I dont care we all make mistakes, chill out!
