This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I don't even care, we could have a tree
We could plant a house, we could build a tree

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
As you know, it's an early thing of 'Breed', but the title comes from waaaay back when they first started touring. I forget the name of the band they toured with....Something like Fat Something.... But the leader of the group had problems with throwing up and diarrhea and crap on their tour, so he took Imodium. Kurt just took the name of the medicine, and used it as a title.
Actually, Kurt was plagued by intestinal problems for a lot of his life. Imodium helps a lot with those kinds of things.
fuck you darkspot, who gives a fuck? but i credit you for knowing who Tad Doyle is.
Hey darkspot what makes you think that this song is about imodium besides the name? Don't forget the name was changed to breed.
It is spelt "Imodium"
well done, you can read.
lol indeed
kurt actually spelled it Immodium.
The name is TAD and yes, I also read that story about the song title.
I love how Kurt says 'old' in Imodium.. much cooler than in Breed ;p
imo this is one of the best Nirvana songs out there. Blandest is sick aswell.. ah whatever, I guess with most Nirvana fans, everyone's favorite song changes all the time.. they're all great.
Imodium is an opioid/opiate which can be used to edge opiate withdrawals. It can't cross the BBB (blood brain barrier) so it doesn't give you the euphoria due to the extra fluoride in its molecular structure.
@mrmateo I'm not sure if you're in the States but here Imodium stops diarrhea by putting a cork in your ass (not literally but it definitely plugs it up somehow)
