Dive
Nirvana Lyrics

Oh
The singer is addressing someone, possibly a lover, and trying to get their attention.

Pick me, pick me yeah
The singer is pleading with the person they are addressing to choose them or pick them as their partner.

Live alone, lone single
The singer currently lives alone and is single, possibly indicating their loneliness.

Atleast, atleast yeah
Despite the artist's current situation, they are still hopeful and optimistic that things will get better.

Everyone is hollow
The artist sees the people around them as empty or lacking depth, which may contribute to their feeling of isolation and loneliness.

Everyone is waiting
The singer believes that everyone else is waiting for someone to choose them or make them feel less lonely, just like they are.

You can be the baby
The singer is offering themselves as a caregiver or protector to the person they are addressing, a role typically associated with parenthood.

Hey
The artist is trying to get the attention of the person they are addressing again.

Dive
This one-word command may represent a metaphorical dive into a relationship or a more physical, sexual act.

Kiss this, kiss that yeah
The artist is possibly giving instructions or expressing desires for physical affection from the person they are addressing.

You could be my hero
The singer is looking for someone to save them from their loneliness or current situation, placing the person they are addressing on a pedestal and romanticizing their potential impact on their life.

Hit me, hit me yeah
This line can be interpreted as a desire for physical pain, possibly linked to feeling undeserving of love and seeking punishment for that feeling.

I'm real good at hitting
The singer is suggesting that they are experienced in being hit or abused, further indicating potential self-destructive tendencies.

Dive in me
Repeating the same command from earlier, the singer is still requesting a deep connection or physical intimacy from their desired partner.
