Oh Me
Nirvana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?

I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see

I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me





Infinity inside me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nirvana's song Oh Me are characteristic of their iconic grunge sound, with powerful yet melodic instrumentation complemented by anguished and introspective lyrics. The song begins with the singer pondering the cost of giving up something important to him - "If I had to lose a mile" - and the emotional impact such a loss would have - "If I had to touch feelings." He acknowledges that he has already lost part of himself, his soul, and that this is not a new experience for him. This loss does not require thought, but action, and the results are always perfect, although this comes at a cost that he appears to be willing to pay.


The second half of the song addresses the listener directly, asking if they would like to hear the singer's voice "sprinkled with emotion" that was "invented at your birth." This is followed by a repetition of the previous lines, emphasizing the singer's awareness of his own limitlessness - "My whole expanse I cannot see/I formulate infinity/stored deep inside me." These lyrics suggest a certain level of discomfort with the singer's own power, as though he is struggling to understand and contain it. Overall, the song touches on themes of loss, self-doubt, and the inner turmoil that comes with questioning one's own existence and power.

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feeling
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
But that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice sprinkled with emotion?
Invented at your birth

[Chorus]
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse, I cannot see
Formulate infinity
Store it deep inside me

If I had to lose a mile

Would you like to hear my voice sprinkled with emotion?
Invented at your birth

[Chorus]
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse, I cannot see
Formulate infinity
Store it deep inside me
(Formulate infinity, deep inside me)

Every song in this performance was absolute magic. Nirvana and Alice In Chains set the bar so high, no one will ever be able to match it

@JohnnyMacalvee-cf7et

You hit the two bands that ruled the Unplugged. Others were good. Those were the best for me.

@julioaguilar7071

Actually Liam Gallagher with his MTV unplugged two years ago passed that bar

@gord7025

Neil Young's performance was great as well
