It represents the band so well that it should have the title "Nirvana", instead of "Smells like teen spirit". It is not true! This song is one of the most meaningful songs of Nirvana. My InterpretationI see that many people around say that this song has no meaning. "a denial" - he denies this part of himself though he knows it exists, a complex confusion all addicts face and nobody else can feel unless they have been where he has. "Oh well, whatever, never mind" - no control, no hope, no future "I found it hard it's hard to find" - hes hardened and lost inside "Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile" - it made him feel good while depressed

"And I forget just why I taste" - why did he start? "And always will until the end" - Hes caught, and will be until death "Our little group has always been" - Always felt like they were over-rated "And for this gift I feel blessed" - he feels blessed to create, though hes on dope "I'm worse at what I do best" - doesn't think hes a good musician This about a fallout (overdose) other people trying to wake him up, he is at a very low point, very near death "Yeah, hey" - thats about all you can say after you've shot enough. "a mosquito" - the prick of the needle and checking the drawback of blood
Smells like teen spirit lyrics skin#
"an albino" - his blue veins seen through light skin "A mulatto" - Black-tar mixed with water, turns it brown "I feel stupid and contagious" - trying it was stupid yet he still introduces it "Here we are now entertain us" - to messed up, they can't entertain themselves "With the lights out, it's less dangerous" - feels secure and satisfied after a shot

"She's over-bored and self-assured" - there is no going back, and she knows it "It's fun to lose and to pretend" - Euphoric feelings "Load up on guns bring your friends" - Guns= needles friends= encase of fallout TranslationThe meaning is simple if you have been there. A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libidoĪ denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
