Man... I'm wondering if anyone commenting here is over the age of 12. This song doesn't "say" anything. He wasn't trying to "say stuff" in his lyrics till much later. At the point when this song was written he would make up 4 or 5 lines just to be saying anything at all, and it was mostly repetitive drivel so that he didn't have a bunch of lyrics to worry about remembering. He wrote this when he was more interested in working out his sound, and the same way that he borrowed the 'loud/quiet/loud' song formula from the Pixies - a band he admired - "daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more" was a lyrical play on Mudhoney's "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More."
Mudhoney was a band that Kurt really admired. Nirvana played a lot of early gigs with them. They brought Nirvana overseas with them and just before Dave Grohl confirmed joining the band, Mudhoney's drummer almost became Nirvana's new drummer.
They took a lot of heat in the local scene for the similarities between Negative Creep and Sweet Young Thing. I'm not taking sides, because I like both bands. I was also actually alive and going to shows when his music came out, and know people that were around and involved in the making of this music.
My advice for the kiddies: Kurt Cobain was a good musician, but don't go looking for meaning that isn't there. They're not all desperate cries for help waiting to be deciphered.
@lpr587 If you can't find the meaning in this (or any other) Nirvana song, that doesn't mean this song actually has no meaning, it just means YOU are not able to see it.

I would sincerely recommend to anyone who doesn't see the meaning in Kurt's lyrics to stop listening to Nirvana, because by doing that you are depreciating his talent and humiliating him as a person.

So stop acting like you are super smart or something, 'cause knowing everything won't help you to understand Nirvana, since Nirvana is about feelings. Instead of trying to open the minds of us,...

Instead of trying to open the minds of us, kiddies under the age of 12, you could try to open your heart and listen to Nirvana with the heart, maybe you would get the point then.
Untill then, just stop trying to seem smart for not having a soul, and telling to kiddies who got the point that WE are stupid.
By the way, it's oxymoron to write a post on SongMeanings, about a song not having any meaning.
