The way I see this song, is being about someone who isnt living up to everyones expectations of them. Kurt was a fairly smart kid, but I think the general consensus was that he didnt apply himself to a lot of classes even though he was capable. This is what I think the lines mean;
'If you wouldnt mind, I would like it blew' Maybe people were saying he 'blew it' and his retaliation is saying thats how he wants it to be.
'If you wouldnt mind, I would like to lose' He doesnt want to try to be better, or to win.
Both 'would like to leave' and 'would like to breathe' could be about feeling pressured and smothered and just wanting to relax.
This one might not make sense, but
'Is there another reason for your stain?'Could be about parents putting pressure on you because they feel like they failed or for another reason other than wanting you to do well.
'Here is another word that rhymes with shame' is probably meaning, whoever is putting the pressure on you feeling disappointed and ashamed of you. I dont agree with people who are saying that its supposed to mean shame rhymes with fame, while it makes sense, this was on bleach, so most likely written in 91 or before, I dont think Kurt really had the pressure of being famous then.
'You could do anything' is kind of obvious, you have so much potential and you could do anything.
This is just how it applies to my life, it could be completely wrong, but I dont know what kurt was thinking when he wrote it. It makes sense for me though :)
