>>128897227It was his typical cryptically poetic, roundabout way of singing to the world about what a rich depressed suicidal whiny hipster loser rockstar he is that no one understands. I’m sure cobain would agree with my lyrical analysis here.
He meant >anything beats being a zoomer >anything beats being a manlet virgin
>>128897227>What did Kurt Cobain mean by this?Fukboi just wanted to sound deep. He thought "Kurt smells like teen spirit" also meant something deep. I like the songs and Kurt had a godlike voice, but he was a shit 'philosopher'
>>128897227Kurt had stomach issues from eating too many Hot Cheetohs. So he drank Pennyroyal Tea, an herbal treatment (that doesn't work).
He's a whiny faggot. This applies to every other song he wrote as well.
>>128898247>that doesn't workunless you're trying to damage your liver and/or terminate your pregnancy
>>128898212>he was a shit 'philosopher'Weird criticism of a rock band
>>128899594Not when they have pseudo intellectual lyrics desu, would never say something like that about Lemmy or Frank Rossi. They just told stories
>>128898212speak for yourself."everyone is gay" is Plato, Socrates level.
>>128897227He had a back pain that was turning his shit into hard rocks.Pennyroyal tea has an analgesic effect, so it helped with the pain.The back pain was also the reason why he started using heroin btw.
It's about a makeshift drink that induces miscarriage.
heard Mellon Collie demos and topped himself
>>128897227Since when does a song have to be about some identifiable something?It captures a mood and many thoughts fleeting throughout that moods, contemplating things about current life, potential death, being stuck between the constant threat of physical pain and dealing with the effects of your pain releaver (heroin), a bit of self mockery in a paradoxical way (I'm a king oppressed by the material plane), weaving all this around the theme of drinking a tea supposed to have abortive properties. So it's a sort of humming and singing around all these feels and constraints.
>>128899659Lemmy actually was less intelligent than Kurt, regardless of whether you find Kurt to be a pseud
He died cause he didn't drink enough pennyroyal tea.
Kurt would just mumble things to get a good melody and then fill in the words with something vaguely poetic (but in a Burroughs way) afterward
>>128897227sounds like he might have been on his period when he wrote that
It’s about wanting to kill yourself, like all the good songs on In Utero
Since everyone on here is a baby idiot, I’ll cue you in. Opiates can make you severely constipated. He also had scoliosis which gave him bad posture and sever back pain.He is singing about trying to be sober and hating it. When you’re high you feel good just existing. When you try to get sober you go through a lot of physical pain and also medical complications like constipation and indigestion.He is trying to stay sober but he feels like a broken freak, and is weighing giving up entirely.
