--- Since it was never released, there's no official
--- title. Nevertheless, Kurt has cave them titles, but
--- unfortunately for us, this is where it gets
--- complicated. This song (the lyrics) was originally
--- titled Verse Chorus Verse. Later on, he decided
--- to change it since he gave this name to another
--- song, also known as "in his hands". THUS, this
--- title is correct for the song, but "Sappy" would be
--- a bit more exact. The song itself is called Sappy
--- aka Verse Chorus Verse, No Alternate
--- (misspelling of "No Alternative"), Make You
--- Happy, Happy, Happy Hour, Everything And
--- Nothing, Another Rule, Laundry Room, The
--- Rocker, Sad [1989 acoustic version of the song],
--- VCV, Mistero, The Grasshopper. BUT, only Verse
--- Chorus Verse and Sappy are generally accepted
-- Ok, now the lyrics
--- 1) He'll cover you with GRASS. 100% sure
--- 2) Ok, I read this on other site, and it makes a
--- bit more sence, instead of "The clue that
--- came to you" it would be, "The conclusion
--- came to you". BUT, this one i am NOT stating
--- as a fact. I just think it's more logical.
OK, now the real stuff here. This is a VERY VERY BRIEF analysis of the lyrics. I’m doing this now, and I have about 15 minutes.
First, no it’s not about a relationship, although, poetry is what it is through the eyes of the reader, so I guess it sorta becomes that. However this song is a whole theory/philosophy on what constitute being happy. It’s quite brilliant actually.
It talks about the illusive nature of happiness in society. How we’re kept within the barrier of an oppressing world like a jail… like a cell... like a... JAR?
The part about the breathing hole is about compensation. How people will put up with any repression as long at they get the misapprehension of small bit of something in return. For more info on this, read “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood. It’s referred to in a very explicit manner (probably cuz she doesn’t have Cobain’s genius).
What next, what next. Ok, the laundry room refers to the monotony of life… People going around still acting the same each and everyday, abiding with this deceptive happiness… never searching for any true emotions. That’s where the phrase “the conclusion came to you” clicks in. He would be stating that this is what we chose; this is what we go with. Thinking about it now, the other line would also be somewhat appropriate, stating referring to his song as the “clue”. Also calling the population clueless… interesting.
Ok, on last thing… the focus is always on
“You will make him happy
Then you'll think you're happy
Then you will seem happy
Then you'll think you're happy now”
Realize how you never really ARE happy? Bingo!
Shit, I have to go. Wish I could write more. If I decide to do a Ph.D. in philosophy/poetry, I’ll do my 400 pages essay on Nirvana.
Ok, FIRST, let's clear up the title.
