This is my opinion, and this is how i feel towards the song. This song is my bond to kurt, I feel exactly how he did.
I'm not like them, but I can pretend
-he knows he's different, so he's doing drugs feel like everyone else
the sun is gone, but i have a light
-a lighter for marijuana, something to stay up for, the high
the day is done, but i'm having fun
-being high is how he has fun
i think i'm dumb, or maybe just happy
-by doing drugs he knows he's either dumb for doing them, or happy because of them
i think i'm just happy
-he's high, he's happy
my heart is broke, but i have some glue
-he's sad and lonely, and drugs are his glue
help me inhale, and mend it with you
-he's doing drugs to make himself happy, to take his mind off his broken heart.
we'll float around, and hang out on clouds
-he's high, happy, up
then we'll come down, and have a hangover
-eventually, it goes away and he goes back to being sad and lonely
skin the sun, fall asleep,
-maybe referring to the hangover, he really loses me here, it makes him tired, cause weed really does.
wish away, the soul is cheap,
-refering to how drugs help his soul, and they cost money, and a soul should be priceless, but his only requires $20-$100 for weed
lesson learned, wish me luck,
-he learned something from his high? he's asking for you to wish he's happy?
soothe the burn,
-i always burn my fingers, he uses that as a metaphor, asking someone to soothe his burn from smoking weed, to help him so he doesn't need it anymore
wake me up,
-take him away from his false reality, make it so he doesn't need drugs anymore. he's asking for help, because he knows he is living a dream and he isn't really happy.
---then at the end----
i think i'm dumb, or maybe just happy
-he's reconsidering his life, his drugs
i think i'm dumb
-he realizes he's not really happy, he's stupid. he knows he is gaining nothing. he knows he's being stupid and killing himself, even if marijuana isn't fatal.
kurt is my role model, although not a very good one. i respect him as an amazing musician, and i have never read any lyrics like his. his lyrics all have hidden meanings, he uses metaphors. email me with your thoughts on my song meanings, and yes he was killed. he attempted suicide one month before, heroin overdose.
@NoseDragon where to begin? First, Kurt is a great role model. Second, No. You don't know exactly how he felt. Third, this song is about how people can be lonley and live these painfully ordinary lives and still be happy. Not word for word but that's what Kurt said about the song himself.

@NoseDragon This is almost spot-on to what my interpretation is.

@NoseDragon This is almost spot-on to what my interpretation is. Except I don't think it's mostly about marijuana. I think it's mostly about any drug.

@NoseDragon Kurt Cobain's drug of choice was heroin not weed

@april10348 I believe he smoked weed as well and found more fun in it, but became physically addicted to heroin. Who knows though......

@NoseDragon And if I had to guess id say you're not a very well read person.
