Mr. Moustache
Nirvana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud
Show me how you question, questions
Lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Easy in an easy chair
Poop as hard as rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in a box
I'm you
I'm you
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud
Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my gestation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud
Easy in an easy chair
Poop as hard as rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in a box
I'm you
I'm you
I'm you
I'm you, ahh
Nirvana's song "Mr. Moustache" is a commentary on the contradictions and hypocrisies of modern society. The lyrics seem to address a figure of authority or wisdom, asking them to "fill me in on your new vision" and "help me trust your mighty wisdom". However, there is a sense of sarcastic detachment in the repeated line "Yes I eat cow, I am not proud". This line suggests that the singer, and perhaps society in general, are willing to embrace certain aspects of modern living and consumer culture, even if they contradict their beliefs or principles.
The song also includes imagery of comfort and ease ("easy in an easy chair"), juxtaposed with a crude reference to bodily functions ("poop as hard as rock"). This seems to suggest a sense of complacency and disengagement with the world, as well as a willingness to overlook unpleasant or unsavory aspects of modern living in order to maintain a sense of comfort and security.
Overall, "Mr. Moustache" is a biting critique of modern society's contradictions and hypocrisies. The song suggests that we are all complicit in maintaining these contradictions, even if we are not proud of the role we play.
