Smells Like Teen Spirit
Nirvanaࠀ 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
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
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
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 lyrics to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" are a reflection on the feelings of apathy and frustration that were prevalent among young people in the 1990s. The opening line "load up on guns, bring your friends" sets a tone of rebellion and power, while the line "it's fun to lose and to pretend" encapsulates the sense of directionless ennui that characterized many young people's lives at the time. The line "she's over-bored and self-assured" likely refers to the singer's perception of a girl who is jaded and uninterested in life.
The repeated refrain of "hello, hello, hello, how low" is a nod to the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of negativity, hopelessness, and despair. The line "with the lights out, it's less dangerous" can be interpreted as a metaphor for young people seeking solace in places where they are free from societal pressures and expectations. The line "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido" is open to interpretation, but is likely a reference to the idea of a person being a hodgepodge of different racial and social identities.
Overall, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a reflection on the disillusionment of youth and the search for meaning and fulfillment in a society that often feels oppressive and unrelenting.
