Dive (Box Set Version) Lyrics
Pick me, pick me, yeah
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at ease, yeah
Everyone is hollow
You're last, I'm last, yeah
Everyone is playing
Pick me, pick me, yeah
You can eat my marrow
Hey
Dive, dive, dive, dive in me (x2)
In you
Nothing new
Kiss this, kiss that, yeah
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at least, yeah
I will even swallow
Pick me, pick me, yeah
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at ease, yeah
You can eat my marrow
Hey
Dive, dive, dive, dive in me (x2)
Dive in me (x3)
Nothing
(solo)
Dive, dive, dive, dive in me (x3)
Nothing new (x7)
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at ease, yeah
Everyone is hollow
Everyone is playing
Pick me, pick me, yeah
You can eat my marrow
Nothing new
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at least, yeah
I will even swallow
Let a long, low signal
At ease, at ease, yeah
You can eat my marrow
Dive in me (x3)
Nothing
Nothing new (x7)

I have no idea.
Im going to disagree with the baby references...The baby ideas didnt start showing really until in utero. I believe this ties in with the songs he wrote about school. First verse: He was open about disliking jocks. This is probally a recess, or physical education class reference when everyone is lined on the wall to pick teams, and shouting "pick me" because you just hate to be the last pick. He saw this is a shallow and hollow way to be....So as he says, Everyones hollow. Then its down to the last two, him and the fat kid...."im last, your...

He saw this is a shallow and hollow way to be....So as he says, Everyones hollow. Then its down to the last two, him and the fat kid...."im last, your last", here we are alone on the wall while everyone is playing, we will just be on the field. Chorus: Dive in me, in you nothing new. A verbal expression of inner thoughts perhaps? Maybe the fact that he was evolving, while others had the same hollow sense at the age.
2nd Verse: I will say, kiss this kiss that, I will even swallow....has to be about a girl. "Be at ease at least"...Saying, it was fearfull, for him or her, I dont know.
I think this song falls into his highschool context of lyrics. When he felt everyone was so out of touch from where he was mentally.
I have the box set...It kicks ass...Perfect for any hardcore Nirvana fan...
Wow this is a great song, i have no idea what it means, SOMEONE TELL US PLEASE!!!!
Courtney said this was her favourite song Kurt ever proformed. It is a very sexual song. It is talking I believe, in the chorus, about the female reproductive system. "Dive, dive, dive, dive in me" is I believe about having sex. "I will even swallow" I believe is about giving someone a blow job. Like many times Kurt refered to having female problems, like in a letter to Courtney from rehab he wrote, "My water broke", I believe this is from a female point of view. Or perhaps, since he is male, being from a homosexual male's point of view. I may be entirely off however.
i think dive was done better on the box set that the re-produced version on incesticide. im gonna agreed with the dude that said it was about fuckin' thats what i always thought...just maybe not in that much detail
very nice song , i love the guitar solo
