I live cement
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where i was born
I now repent
Caribou
Repent
Repent
Give me wide
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What i like
Caribou
Repent
Repent
I hate this street
Give dirt to me
I bite lament
This human form
Where i was born
I now repent
Caribou
Repent
Repent
Give me wide
Ground to run
And foregone
Lets me knife
Knife me lets
I will get
What i like
Caribou
Repent
Repent

Kurt was a huge Pixies fan, he said that when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit he was trying to write a Pixies song. The Pixies are so underrated - even now they are ahead of most 'alternative' bands, they pioneered grunge way before it was cool and before bands like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam turned it into an over-bloated monster. I mean, they had basically finished their recording career before Nirvana had even written Nevermind... sometimes I hate the music industry. Why can't people recognize good music? Why does so much f&*^ing s%^ get published and a band as great as the Pixies gets largely ignored?
the music industry is jacked up, no body listens to good music instead they listen to crappy much more famous bands
About Caribou, I think it is clearly about reincarnation.
I live cement,
I hate this street,
Give dirt to me.
(this life sucks, wish i were dead)
This human form,
Where I was born,
I now repent.
(i was born human, but i wish i weren't)
Caribou
(my choice for my next form)
Give me white,
Ground to run,
And foregone.
(carefree life of animal, nothing is expected)
Lets me knife,
Knife me lets,
I will get
What I like
(either the knife will get me or i will get the knife (suicide))
(either way, i will get what i like (death))
What it means,
I have no clue,
does
BTW "Teen Spirit" was supposedly modeled after "Gouge Away"!
And the only thing worse than the ignorant are the hypocrites.
