The lyrics to Nirvana's song Endless Nameless are a series of disjointed, seemingly random phrases that touch on themes of silence, death, and violence. The song starts with the repetition of the word "silence" followed by the singer affirming their existence. The second line appears to be a nihilistic statement about the meaninglessness of existence. The third line echoes the second but with an added emphasis that the singer has "died."
The next part of the song involves the singer calling out to "Mother" four times, which could be a reference to their own mother or a cry out to a mother figure for help. The following lines include more explicit references to death and violence, with the singer stating that they are both "death" and "excitement." The phrase "go to hell" is repeated twice, and may be a reference to the singer's state of mind or the world at large.
The final lines of the song are a bit more cryptic, with the phrase "no mas" repeated three times, which translates to "no more" in Spanish. This could be a statement of surrender or resignation. The rest of the lines continue to reference death and crime, with the singer uttering a final word "die."

@LOL-cringe
it's really amazing how Kurt was able to literally smash a guitar and break off the strings and still get a melody out of it.
