I don't care

Care if it's old
I don't mind

Mind, don't have a mind
Get away

Get away
Away, away from your home
I'm afraid

I'm afraid
Afraid, afraid of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

The lyrics to "Breed" by Nirvana are repetitive but convey a sense of detachment and apathy. The singer repeatedly emphasizes that they do not care and do not have a mind, implying a lack of investment in anything. They also express fear of a ghost, which could symbolize anxiety or a feeling of being haunted by something unknown.
The chorus, "Even if you have, even if you need, I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed," could be interpreted in various ways. It could be a commentary on societal pressure to have children or engage in traditional forms of reproduction, or it could be a rejection of conformity in general. The singer seems to prioritize independence and freedom, as demonstrated by the lines "we could plant a house, we could build a tree," which suggest a willingness to create a home and a life outside of societal norms. The final repetition of "she said" adds a mysterious element, leaving the listener to wonder who the singer is referring to and what they said.
