Nirvana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
The song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana was released in 1991 and is widely considered one of the most iconic and influential songs in the history of rock music. The lyrics of the song capture the disaffected and rebellious spirit of the time period and deal with issues such as boredom, apathy, and the search for identity. The opening lines "Load up on guns, bring your friends / It's fun to lose and to pretend" speaks to the nihilistic tendencies of young people who were disillusioned with the political and economic system at the time.
The chorus of the song, with the repeated phrase "With the lights out, it's less dangerous / Here we are now, entertain us," reflects the desire for entertainment and escape from the pain and chaos of the world. The reference to "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido" is believed to be an inside joke by Kurt Cobain and refers to a friend who described himself in this manner. The line "I feel stupid and contagious" speaks to the feeling of helplessness and frustration that many young people experienced during the time period.
Overall, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a song that captures the disillusionment and angst of a generation and continues to be celebrated as a seminal work in the history of rock music.
Line by Line Meaning
Load up on guns, bring your friends
Gather weapons and bring your accomplices
It's fun to lose and to pretend
It's enjoyable to have nothing and act like you don't care
She's over bored and self assured
She's extremely bored and full of herself
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Oh dear, I'm aware of a profanity
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Greetings, how are you feeling down there?
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Having the lights turned off decreases the amount of risk
Here we are now, entertain us
We are present, so put on a show for us
I feel stupid and contagious
I feel unintelligent and like I can easily spread my feelings to others
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A person with mixed race heritage, a person with no pigmentation, an insect that feeds on blood, my sexual drive
I'm worse at what I do best
I'm not very skilled at what I excel at
And for this gift I feel blessed
Despite this, I feel fortunate for this talent
Our little group has always been
Our small community has always existed
And always will until the end
And it will continue until the end
And I forget just why I taste
And I don't remember why I have this specific sensation
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
Oh right, I suppose it causes me to grin
I found it hard, was hard to find
I struggled to locate it
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Oh well, it doesn't really matter anymore
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
An inability to accept the truth
