Let It Die Lyrics

Cover art for Let It Die lyrics by Foo Fighters

I get so sick of people always inferring that every song Dave writes is about Kurt. I'm sure he misses him, as we all do, but I'm pretty sure he's picked himself up.

I think this song is just about someone who has a drug problem and it has destroyed their relationship.

The line "Do you ever think of me," gives an indication that the person is still alive, hence it can't be Kurt.

So since it does say "why'd you have to go and let it die" does that not indicate that the person is dead? its common sense

Wasn't that what they were arguing about though? Nirvana was having personal problems... Now I TOTALLY agree I am to sick of everyone saying every song Dave writes is about Kurt. Although this one to me sounds like he is refering to him. "Beautiful VEINS and blood shot eyes" Obviously veins if a reference to how heroin is most commonly used and blood shot eyes is just talking about drugs in general. The whole "Do you ever think of me?" part was probably talking about when they were fighting. Now truly I am sick of every saying ever song Dave...

'The line "Do you ever think of me," gives an indication that the person is still alive, hence it can't be Kurt.'

Not necessarily true. He might have been writing from what his point of view was back in the day about Kurt and his death.

Personally, I believe the song is about Kurt. It's like an obvious sexual innuendo: It COULD mean something else, but it mostly points to the first thing you think of when your hear it.

And with this song, that thing/person is Kurt Cobain.
