"it's okay to eat fish, cause they don't have any feelings"

What did he mean by this?
>>
>>64528526
Yes
>>
>>64528526
it is clear from his lyrics that he wanted to be raeped
>>
Some did, some were probably just nonsense. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
>>
>>64528526
no

potato matchstick teenage antifreeze popped the twisted house's mandible YEAH

I know Lithium was about a guy who was hurting but then found religion or something like that. I think some of his other lyrics were made up nonsense. I guess that kind of fits the grunge image though
>>
DUDE BIPOLAR DISORDER LMAO

He was more concerned with the sound, and the lyrics came second.

>>64528590
It's about a guy whose girlfriend dies and turns to religion to cope with it.
>>
>>64528773
It's about the mood stabilizer, lithium
>>
>>64528563
didn't fish get depressed or some shit like that?
>>
I remember reading somewhere that his lyrics were mostly poetry he wrote at random times tacked on to music that it fit, so yeah they probably meant something.

Yeah, I'm sure you know better than Cobain. I mean, he only wrote the song, what does he know?
>>
>>64529144

I compared all of Nevermind with Catcher in the Rye. No relation, but just that kind of "no one really understands me" feel.

Thats just me tho. best album.
>>
>>64529388
Dude, he literally said it in interviews.
>>
He's great anti think music.

I hear Kurt & I think, get high & get by or get high & relax. I gets high.

Underrated guitarist & those vocals, but everyone respects those pipes.
>>
>>64528526
Do any lyrics really mean anything? they're all just sounds that we associate with things we've learned and understood. The same way the most beautifully moving song in french is meaningless to a listener who doesn't speak french. they're just sounds.

He said most of the songs he made didn't really have any meaning. If you look at the lyrics of most of their songs, you'll see the contradictions and inconsistencies.

Still really like their music. He may not have been the best but he was unique
>>
They're accessible so they have mass appeal and they're vague so they can mean what you want them to

You can take one of his songs and easily connect it with your own life, something I can appreciate about his music and a reason he's so popular
>>
>>64530954
Listen to some Nirvana & I may eat a dose.

Some did, some didn't.
