@seraphius I think this is extremely doubtful. Among other things, I don't know of any evidence that Smith (or anyone else in the Cure for that matter) knew Cobain. The timing would be rather odd too, since this song came out after Cobain's highly publicised suicide, which certainly isn't even referenced.

Also, it seems to me that Kurt's big psych issue was untreated depression, that he was self-medicating (an all-too-common problem).

He had chronic pain too, which couldn't have helped, and he may not have been getting enough medical help there either.
it is about Kurt Cobain
