Good morning! This post will be about Nevermind album. Have you ever ask yourself the meaning of Nevermind's songs? So, here you have it, according to Kurt Cobain (taken my the book of Nevermind's 20th aniversary Deluxe Edition):

- Smells like Teen Spirit: "My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other isms the counterculture has been whining about the years".
- In Bloom: "Reproduction".
- Lithium: " People who are secluded for too long go insane and as last resort they often use religion to keep alive. In the song, a guy's lost his girl and his friends and he's brooding. He's decided to find God before he kills himself. It's hard for me to understand the need for a vice like that but I can appreciate it too. People need vices."
-Come as you are: "An old- fashioned love song coming down in three-part harmony".
-Something in the way: "Love-- plain and simple".
- On a Plain: "Love again".
-Drain you: "Come to think of it, almost all the songs on the album are about love -- or confusion, wich usually is the result of love. Outcries of confusion about love and not understanding relationships, not just with your mate but with anybody, with yourself, with animals, etc.".
-Stay away: "Bitching and complaining".
-Breed: "Getting into Middle America. Marrying at
 18, getting pregnant, stuck with a baby -- and not wanting it.".
- Lounge act: "Love, problems".
-Territorial Pissings: "In the animal kingdom, the male will often piss in certain areas to claim his territory, and I see macho man reacting towards sex and power in the same way. I'd like to see these lost souls strung up by their balls with pages of the scum manifesto stapled to their bodies".
-Polly:"Rape".
