People tend to overanalyze Kurt's lyrics and not realize that most of the time it was just word play with no real meaning. He would put words and abstract ideas together, like: eyes so dilated- pupil; pupil-student; chew your meat, pass it back and forth (play on swap meet.) etc etc.
ruclips.net/video/dUb69RIqfO8/видео.html ; that TV show was awesome and has a quite a cult in France even today (well, if you're 30 or 40+), the line up of great bands that played in it is HUGE
For those who don't know what the song is about.. It is about a fetus inside a womb, story told from mother and child. And at 1:50 and on is sounds of giving birth. Kurt does the mothers contractions with his guitar during that time, at the end of this solo section is the baby being born as you hear Kurt screaming like he is sliding out of the womb.
One baby to another. Two baby's in the womb. Sometimes one takes everything from the other and one twin kills the other. Draining the nutrients away from them. But that's just that one part.
This is about Kurts relationship with Tobi Vail, its about how one person is selfish in a relationship and uses that power to thrive. Its about how far and extreme people would go in relationships. This is probably the most common used meaning for these lyrics however there are other theories for example the use of drugs on a person (“drain you”, tubes, from my mouth to yours etc) or the decision between an abortion.
OMG.. my favorite Nirvana song of all time.. This band/album changed my life. I always saw the instrumental break as the punk version of the instrumental psych section of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. When Kurt wasn't writing lyrics that were direct and emotional he was doing these surrealist pyschedelic collages. Put the imagery he speaks about in different lines together and it makes a whole picture for the listeners to interpret to their own experiences.... the beauty of Nirvana is a song like this also works well on the 'f that nerd shit let's ROCK!' level too. Genius.
I remember driving with my friends in a 4x4 through the woods in the Buffalo National forest high af listening to this with no headlights but a kick arse system and the moonlight
Exactly, and the "chewing your meat for you" line is so obviously talking of a mother chewing a piece of meat from her meal to tenderise it for her baby so as the kid won't choke as he/she doesn't have teeth yet. Peace, out.
One thing to keep in mind is, when this was released, there was no internet. Nobody knew what anyone was saying in their songs for the most part. Back then it was all about the music, less about the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, there was some deep lyrics in songs back then, but they had less of an effect than the actual music.
“ Chew meat from you, pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss from my mouth to yours “ ❤ this used to be my favorite Nirvana song when I first heard the Nevermind album.. years later “ Lounge Act “ became my favorite on that album 🔥
Lounge Act is sleeper genius. It exists in this weird mix genre space with funk and groove in the bass and yet this slight jazz strummed guitar and its all somehow squeezed into this punk abrasive feeling that only Kurt can do. Add in the vocal harmonies and you have something really unique.
Drain You and Verse Chorus Verse by Nirvana encapsulated my high school career. I was a good kid, getting good grades but was just over it, so these songs were the soundtrack to my summer of discontent '93
You're not supposed to deeply analyze music for 99% of rock songs. This guy goes into the songs with his dumb rap mindset, in which lyrics are more important than music lol
I saw a Nirvana concert in 1993. Best concert ever. This song is off Nevermind. He would writ lyrics as an after thought a lot back then. Just what ever sounded good with music. But this song has meaning. You need to think metaphorically with Kurt's lyrics. Some are very abstract.
That break in the song where the drums keep going and Kurt plays these weird background noises reminds me of Led Zeppelin and “ Whole Lotta Love “ 😂 so great ❤
Love how Brad is like “Okaaayyy..” 😂😂😂 Lyrics here are kinda weird, but really tame if you compare em to a lot of stuff coming out of the underground music scene back then, which is where Nirvana had been “discovered”.
One thing you have to know about Nirvana is that they really didn't care about their lyrics. They cared more about the music and melodies of their songs.
There are some great line by Kurt, but you are correct. He cared much more about melody. He did write some good lyrics though. The lyric structure of In Bloom is super unique. The first line of the first verse goes with the first line of the second verse and so on.
@@NecroSeraphim The guy goes crazy analyzing the lyrics of every single fking song, instead of listening to the music itself. He still doesn't understand this is not rap music lol
Always liked this song, but never knew many of the lyrics. 😝 Seeing what others below are saying what this song is about makes the lyrics make more sense.
I think either this or mother and child in the womb sharing everything and draining the mother of her nutrition and vitamins probably one of the 2 tho considering he originally wanted a woman giving birth in a pool as the cover art
One of my faves. Nirvana has a ton of songs that people completely forget about because only smells like teen spirit, come as you are and all apologies get radio play. Dumb, Lounge Act and Something in the Way are also amazing.
I love Dumb for a bit it was my fave then I really liked the bass alot on lounge act but then I listened to floyd the barber from bleach and that song sounds so good
@@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291 There's not a bad song in all Nirvana cathaloge, AND... Off cathalogue!! From all the albuns, b-sides, singles, lost tracks and awfull demos recorded in tape recorders, there's not one single song that is bad. And that's just fucking amazing!! Everyone make bad songs. Not Kurt. The worst song from him (at least in my opinion) it's On a Plain. And that song would have been the biggest hit for almost all the bands in the world EDIT: oh... And songs that are not even credited to him! The álbum he wrote to Hole, and no One ever admited it was him (it was... We all know it lol), it's fucking amazing!!
When we were kids, we would want to eat the ice (standard ice cube tray size) after finishing our pop....so my dad would break it and spit it back in our cups for us. LOL
I always interpreted this songs lyrics & esp the imagery being about dysfunctional relationships, being attached or obsessed with someone to to the point you drain them.
My take on the song is it's about being connected...for better or worse, thick and thin, happiness and sadness. And definitely in SICKNESS and in health
This song is basically about a woman, or young woman, because adults are basically grown children literally and metaphorically, and the chd is talking to his mother and telling how thankful he is for being in her womb but will drain her of strength to be born. Then it is thanking her for being born, learning about, sarcastically, snow white/ christianity (poisoned apple as a reference to both stories) and that he has healthy urination because it is yellow and not dark yellow. But, despite the awkward dark humor, the song is basically about that life is parasitical and wants to tell the listener just that. The passing meat to lips is feeding kin that wildlife usually does. Oh, also, the infection is a dark joke on the vagina, , erroneous, but kinda open wound when birthing.
Kurt's lyrics were so often meaningless, and it's honestly a wonder he could even remember them. I'd be willing to bet there are countless live performances where he sang the wrong lyrics. They were often the last thing he finished in a song, and many times they weren't finished until they were in the studio. Riffs, melodies, and a tight rhythm section were Kurt's priorities.
In hindsight, these aren't terrible lyrics, they seem to have a lot of baby/mother imagery, written from both perspectives - the self-centered baby, and the mother caring for her child - and illustrating the one-sided nature of that relationship. The give and take only goes one way. Then you take that imagery and apply it to adult relationships with similar imbalances, and you have a legitimate song. I loved this album back then, but I've never been much of a a poet. I can appreciate these lyrics a lot more now than I did back then.
If you like Nirvana, check out their favorite band: TAD. At 450 pounds, a heavy singer, a heavy sound, and superinventive. TAD - albums: God's Balls, Inhaler, Infrared Riding Hood, 8-Way Santa (a form of LSD), Salt Lick, Live Alien Broadcasts. TAD - Satan's Chainsaw, Boiler Room, Hollow Man, Ritual Device, Stumblin' Man, Greasebox (great bass from Kurt Danielson), Jack Pepsi. There is even a video of Kurt Cobain taking over from TAD after he had too much of something in Italy.
I always though it was about one twin dying inside the womb and getting absorbed by the other at the embryo stage. I mean it says it right there in the lyrics.
❤❤❤ 😂😊😢😅😮Song is about mother-child in utero experience. Kurt was obsessed with human pregnancy. Come on, think, chew my meat for you, you're my vitamins... hes voicing a pregnant mother and her child in womb. One of Nirvanas most obvious songs. Again, Kurt was OBSESSED with pregnancy.
Well, Kurts lyrics on In Eutyro seem to stress more inclination toward meaning/I think. The emotional content of Nirvana's tunes cannot be denied, except by idiots of course.
I was listening to Bleach for about 5 years before Nevermind came out. And to this day,Bleach is still by far their best album. But because it wasn't an industry album,it never got any push. Like with everything else,by the time the public caught up with Nirvana,it was already over. Their best work was behind them,and people really only got one decent album and Kurt was gone. That's why it's important to keep an open mind, don't go by the industry,take some time to check out under the radar,non industry bands. By the time these band break through if they ever do at all,and by the time the public catches up,it will be over. It literally always happens. The glam metal scene of the 80's? Same thing. In the early days of it,the best stuff was being put out. By the late 80's when they were signing every smiling band in makeup, that's when people finally caught up,and it was over. By the time they started playing the hippie stuff on the radio,that whole scene was already over. The fact is,you don't really have to listen to tired old songs over and over. There is a fresh crop of new bands that warrant being genuinely excited about. But you have to go look for them, because they won't get an industry push. The industry keeps screwing around with pregnant grandmothers doing crotch grabs at Superbowl halftime shows...as if that's something people would be interested in. A complete and total waste of time. Anything good the industry was going to do? They've already done it. It's over and it's not coming back. To just put one example out there....the band Starcrawler. Fronted by Danny Trejo's stepdaughter, Olivia D'Wilde...this is a new band,that gets the whole rock star thing better than any band I've seen in the last 40 years. It's not forced. This girl was born a star. The world just doesn't know it yet. By the time people catch up,it will probably be over,and everyone will pretend they were always fans. If you are unaware of them,and want something new to be genuinely excited about? I don't have to guess for one second.....The more you hear? I promise you will be a fan. It can't be helped. This band gets it. There is literally nothing not to love
Starcrawler??? Are you serious?? They are just another garbage generic pop rock band, sounds like every other shitty new band. If that's “good” new music, then we're fucked. The only modern bands I find decent are Ghost and Royal Blood, and they're still dogshit compared to the good 60s-90s bands.
Lol. Fun gross-out contest. Ultimately this stuff is poetry and you can't really take it too literally but to me it just communicates a really visceral sense of being so attracted to somebody and so infatuated and you're willing to swap spit and it's just a poetic way to take it to another level. And I love the music of it as well. It is so banging and it's so anti-tradition that in the area in the middle where there would normally be a major guitar solo there isn't, it's just the chord progression repeating with that heavy wall of sound and little pick on the string clicks type things and that's it. This album was so Innovative and creative.
hahaha Brad and Lex your commentary is so funny seriously i was laughing uncontrollably!...........btw it's obviously about injecting drugs, probably heroin as that's what Kurt Cobain was on
This is noy my favourite song by Nirvana, but it's still ok. And you guys should check out a band from India called Bloodywood and their song "Dana dan".
Changed my life at 13 years old when this came out. Epic record
Same here man!! What a life changer moment!!
the same thing with me
I was 30 and it changed mine! LOL!!
People tend to overanalyze Kurt's lyrics and not realize that most of the time it was just word play with no real meaning. He would put words and abstract ideas together, like: eyes so dilated- pupil; pupil-student; chew your meat, pass it back and forth (play on swap meet.) etc etc.
this is drugs things
the guitar sounds massive, apparently they did the same chords with several different amps and blended them together
Butch Vig says they used 5 Mesa Boogie guitars layered together.
Mesa boogie ×2
Fender bassman ×2
And then one more bassman with a pedal
The live version on French TV when Kurt's guitar breaks is insanely awesome
ruclips.net/video/dUb69RIqfO8/видео.html ; that TV show was awesome and has a quite a cult in France even today (well, if you're 30 or 40+), the line up of great bands that played in it is HUGE

Yeah. I bought Outcesticide at a small record shop near Oceanside California when I was in the Marines in 2005. That scream still gives me chills.

It’s also about codependency
Source: dude trust me.

Wasn't Kurt fascinated by anatomy and fetuses and whatnot? Hence, songs like this, as well as In Utero's whole theme/aesthetic
This is about Kurts relationship with Tobi Vail, its about how one person is selfish in a relationship and uses that power to thrive. Its about how far and extreme people would go in relationships. This is probably the most common used meaning for these lyrics however there are other theories for example the use of drugs on a person (“drain you”, tubes, from my mouth to yours etc) or the decision between an abortion.
It's been 30 plus years and this is the first time seeing the lyrics. It's a wild wild world

@@stevedahlberg8680 thanks! - Justin
More amazing is that it’s only one chord {F sharp power chord} played over and over.
drugs experience
This is why latch key kids loved this. Yellow water. Shitty home environments, feeling abandoned by family and the world
I remember driving with my friends in a 4x4 through the woods in the Buffalo National forest high af listening to this with no headlights but a kick arse system and the moonlight
This is a song about child birth and also about how relationships can drain us!
Exactly, presented in a abstract way..
Its about parasites
Exactly, and the "chewing your meat for you" line is so obviously talking of a mother chewing a piece of meat from her meal to tenderise it for her baby so as the kid won't choke as he/she doesn't have teeth yet. Peace, out.
One of the most influential albums in music
Sounds to me like Kurt singing about what would become his favorite theme: Women being vampires. He obviously had a type.
One thing to keep in mind is, when this was released, there was no internet. Nobody knew what anyone was saying in their songs for the most part. Back then it was all about the music, less about the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, there was some deep lyrics in songs back then, but they had less of an effect than the actual music.
Nirvana is always a band I listen to through rough times
Alice in chains is my go too 😢😅
Same
Love Alice. My favorite band of all time.
The MTV Studios live performance from January 1992 where Kurt's hair was dyed maroon/purple was always my favorite version of this song
i've been listening to this song for 30 years this is the first time i actually read the lyrics and understood what he was saying. holy smokes.
Me too, haha
Just made the exact comment and honestly never been particularly important to me
“ Chew meat from you, pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss from my mouth to yours “ ❤ this used to be my favorite Nirvana song when I first heard the Nevermind album.. years later “ Lounge Act “ became my favorite on that album 🔥

Great song!!! This is why he is our generations genius!!
Drain you is such a feelgood song with upbeat and a great drop. too bad Brad pause the song right after the drop i was headbanging so hard lul
🤣
I almost lost it when he paused. "NOOOOOOOOOOO"!
The drums on this song is so good
Love what you two bring to the table the music and your reactions keep up the good work have a pleasant evenin 👍

It shows because Nirvanas lyrics are just random words put together
Kurt definitely cared on drain you however
Hello, I see your reactions here in Brazil, you guys are great....🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏
Great !.. next Nirvana Lithium
The previous post said it too- there’s nothing Kurt hated more than someone analyzing his lyrics.
I feel like this has been mentioned in every single nirvana reaction they've done, but I guess they don't read comments much.
Then he probably shouldn't have written them.

I think you mean he hates when people “over analyze” his lyrics
Congratulations on 300k subs
actually is about babies draining the mom/parents
One baby to another?
You should watch their live version of this! In Paris I think it’s where he screams
A baby drains their mother. The song is from the perspective of a new born baby (HUMAN).
Brad always trying to figure out the lyrics instead of just enjoying the Music like lex does
I always thought the song was from the perspective of twins in the womb competing for nutrients in the womb.
My favorite song off the album
Brings me back to my junior year in high school. GD what a great time that was. I had too much fun. Lol
Such a simpler time...a better time.
@@seandan7873 absolutely. I really miss those days.
I've heard this song 100+ times, this is the first time I've seen the lyrics lol
Many of Nirvana lyrics are euphemistic.
Kurt had a recurring obsession with medical themes in his lyrics.
Always liked this song, but never knew many of the lyrics. 😝 Seeing what others below are saying what this song is about makes the lyrics make more sense.
I often wondered if this song was his take on one fetus in the womb consuming it's twin. But really couldn't say if it is or not.
I think either this or mother and child in the womb sharing everything and draining the mother of her nutrition and vitamins probably one of the 2 tho considering he originally wanted a woman giving birth in a pool as the cover art
Sounds like something my cousin would say. Curt? Is that you? 🤣
its about terminating a preganncy, dudes... 🙄
There are two live versions that are great, the French television appearance from 1994 and the Paramount performance with the go-go dancers.
I came from an alternate universe where Fight Club was a different movie and this was the main theme song.
if fight club had this song it would be the best movie ever created
One of my faves. Nirvana has a ton of songs that people completely forget about because only smells like teen spirit, come as you are and all apologies get radio play. Dumb, Lounge Act and Something in the Way are also amazing.
I love Dumb for a bit it was my fave then I really liked the bass alot on lounge act but then I listened to floyd the barber from bleach and that song sounds so good

You need to listen to the Nevermind album from start to finish in one sitting
Lex had it spot on. It wasn't a dog, but, well, the dog was Kurt. In a relationship with Kathleen Hanna of "Bikini Kill".
My take on the song is it's about being connected...for better or worse, thick and thin, happiness and sadness. And definitely in SICKNESS and in health
Have we reviewed BUTTHOLE SURFERS Pepper?
I luv Kurt. Lyrics

This is my favorite nirvana song
sometimes a song just won't fit into place. that was Nirvana. they were at the forefront of the Grunge style.
Chocolate boy wasn't ready
what the f*** was that discussion about possible meats to chew up and pass hahahah
She Loves it.....
Didn't Kurt say he just put word together that sounded cool..like my prose... the grunge version of Dylan....your welcome...
Awesome music with weird lyrics.... I learnt early on don't analyse the words if the sound and rhythm is amazing....
The Rose.....Bette Midler.
At that certain point,when you're in that kind of mood.....it really gets you in the feels.
By this time you guys shouldn’t be so literal you have heard tons of lyrics from all these bands

Listen to backwater by meetpuppets please.Very underrated band and different
You'll know what being drained is once your child is born. And pre chewing food, is what birds do for their hatchlings. Just a thought. 🤔
check out tourette’s by nirvana more of a punk feel to it

It is so banging and it's so anti-tradition that in the area in the middle where there would normally be a major guitar solo there isn't, it's just the chord progression repeating with that heavy wall of sound and little pick on the string clicks type things and that's it. This album was so Innovative and creative.
hahaha Brad and Lex your commentary is so funny seriously i was laughing uncontrollably!...........btw it's obviously about injecting drugs, probably heroin as that's what Kurt Cobain was on
This is noy my favourite song by Nirvana, but it's still ok. And you guys should check out a band from India called Bloodywood and their song "Dana dan".
