Dumb
Nirvana Lyrics
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb

"Dumb" is a song by American rock band Nirvana. It is the sixth song on the band's third studio album In Utero, released in 1993.
Kurt Cobain wrote "Dumb" in the summer of 1990 after he had begun to follow some of his own poppier instincts. Cobain debuted the song for Calvin Johnson of K Records on KAOS (FM) in the same year.
The first version to be officially released was on the In Utero album in 1993 and Cobain said that he did not – as had been Read Full Bio"Dumb" is a song by American rock band Nirvana. It is the sixth song on the band's third studio album In Utero, released in 1993.

The first version to be officially released was on the In Utero album in 1993 and Cobain said that he did not – as had been rumoured - want to drive fans of the Nevermind album away from the band with In Utero: "Let’s face it, we already sold out two and a half years ago. There’s no sense in trying to redeem yourself by putting out an abrasive album and pretending you’re a punk rocker again". Cobain also said of the song that using the word "happy" was a nice twist on the negative stuff that they had done before and that he wished he could have written more songs like “Dumb” and “All Apologies” on the other albums. Michael Azerrad in his Story of Nirvana described "Dumb" as "Beatlesque".
The song was ranked at number 39 on WHFS's top 100 played songs of 1994, number 41 on KROQ-FM’s top 100 played songs of 1994, number 51 on Q101's top 100 played songs of 1994, and number 82 on 91X's top 100 played songs of 1994. The song was subsequently released on Nirvana’s two hits compilations, Nirvana in 2002 and Icon in 2010.

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover, have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend

So. This is my story related to this song
When I was younger. Like really young 3 or 4 years old a dude my mom knew showed us this song and put it on my sister's mp3 player.
We thought the singer said andamagam
And that's how my most precious and favorite childhood memorie was created
We played a game I was andamagam and my sister was Affen Quatsch (I created this name). We were fictional characters and I can't remember what we did but I remember that I drank some water and after I put it away I had a water drop on my chin. My sister pointed on it "andamagam ehhh" and at this moment a giant amount of snot came out of my nose.

We'll have a hangover
We'll have a hangover
Skin the sun, fall asleep

I've always enjoyed this song. Never really knew what it was about, just figured it was another one of Kurts random songs that left the meaning up to you. Just recently read that Kurt said this about the song “I’ve met a lot of dumb people. They have a shitty job, they may be totally lonely, they don’t have a girlfriend, they don’t have much of a social life, and yet, for some reason, they’re happy.”
Then I reread the lyrics and realized this shit is me.

@Francesco Carbone no girlfriend and I suffer a lot at work... I get sufficient money but I am not happy. The song sounds as sad as I am. I need to wake up from this bad dream....
