All Apologies
Nirvana & Chris Cornell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All apologies
What else could I say?
Everyone is gay
What else could I write?
I don't have the right
What else should I be?
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest to salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn, freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Married
Married
Buried, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
The song "All Apologies" is a melancholic reflection by Nirvana's Kurt Cobain on his relationship with his wife, Courtney Love. The song starts with the lines "What else should I be? / All apologies. / What else could I say? / Everyone is gay." This can be interpreted as a questioning of Kurt's own identity and behavior - what else should he be besides apologetic? He then goes on to say "What else could I write? / I don't have the right," indicating his frustration with the limitations of his own songwriting abilities. Throughout the song, Kurt expresses his feeling of isolation through metaphorical language such as "sunburn, freezer burn / choking on the ashes of her enemy."
The song's chorus - "In the sun I feel as one / Married / Buried" - represents a moment of fleeting happiness for Kurt, where he feels at peace with himself and his partner. The use of "married" and "buried" may suggest that Kurt feels that his relationship with Courtney is both a form of commitment and a kind of death. The final repetition of "All in all is all we are" seems to suggest a total acceptance of this state of being - that everything, both good and bad, is part of the human experience.

Article 1.
1.i think it ought to be righteous to open up a forum to let the public women speak and give ideas for women- specific laws. Seeing that most of government is male- prominent. It ought to be good to have a females viewpoint.
2.i felt there wasnāt really room for bias. The conversation talks about not just women rights but human ones. One should not be open for harassment, period. Never less gender specific.
3.by calling it out. Making movements and trends. By not letting it normalize but use that to push it foreword as something everyone is aware of and realizes itās something they shouldnāt keep on doing.
4.I felt that in Indonesia, itās a lot worse. I feel like a lot of people here vouch for protecting women and their selves
5.Yes, typically the one on top is male. Immediately putting men in a universal position of power. Putting women at risk for being harassed and more.
Article2.
1.I want the government to revisit equal rights. Thereās NO REASON not to give the female the same rights. They should be cared for MORE cause they are primary caregivers
2.i felt it was a bit biased. It was a bit biased because it was opinion based. It nearly listed every issue and didnāt mention or acknowledge the other side
3.i donāt think that theyāve done nothing. Itās just been ignored and piled on with other issues. And with the like of leaders that are against abortion. Itās only been further pushed down the pile.
4.ofc. Since there are not a lot of them in the legislature, every move done towards women is looked at and dissected.
5.nearly in the tenās. Barely anyone is actually legible for paid family leave. Camacho
