I think it's the simple as it can get.especially the part:We'll hang out on cloads etc.. It's just like:We will get drunk/high so you feel light in your head:Hang out on clouds.Then you get back to sober and have an hangover... This guy just putted some random "shit",his lyrics sound good so enjoy ;) You know. | Reviewer: Sarcastic Mista Know It All | 3/3/09 The first thing that came in to my head while listening to this is, especially in the first stanza, about society..where the sun is referring to what all the conformist 'zombies' look up to and idolize, and his own light meaning his brain. where, even when the sun goes out and the day is done, he can still have fun because he has his own light. and how he says i think im dumb maybe im just happy, it is like how everyone may think you are dumb because you are strange, random, and goofy but maybe you are just happy...not dumb. O_o -*------***----- | Reviewer: Adna | 2/20/09 I like "Dumb".I'm a straight A student,but I'm not a hostler.Sometimes I get a B...This song is awesom.It's one of my favourite(all Nirvana's songs are my favourite):-).I was born on 15th of February,and Kurt on 20th of February.If he was born on 19th of February he would be an Aquarius like me,and not a Pisces like my grandma!!! P.S.My grandma doesn't know who Kurt is.I'm writing from Bosnia and I would like that someone writes to me on MSN.My MSN is adna_kurt@ymail.com Truly For Me | Reviewer: monika | 2/17/09 The firts Time I listen 'DUMB'I couldn't stop repeating it all over again.The music is so inspirative,sad it describes loneliness...I even wrote my own songs as an inspiration by listening.I wrote over 20 different lyrics.Im a pisces,too and I understand the pain.Im so sorry for Kurt,I can't explain that feeling.I hope he found his place somewhere.I admire K.C.4ever in eternaty goodbye... I'm in love with this song. | Reviewer: Jonneh | 12/11/08 I'm seriously in love with this song. It's amazing. The lyrics are so open for interpretation that it's not funny, but just remember - this is one of Kurt's songs, read what he says before you think you know what it's about. DUMB IS NOT ABOUT DRUG USE. He says it's about concussion. According to Cobain, "Dumb" was inspired by the envy he feels for unintelligent and "easily amused" people, who are seemingly able to move through life without ever feeling sad or depressed. "I've met a lot of dumb people," Cobain said in an interview with Melody Maker in 1993, "they have a shitty job, they may be totally lonely...and yet, for some reason, they're happy." In an effort to publicly distance himself from the drug culture that he was synonymous with, Cobain gave an interview to The Chicago Sun-Times in 1993 that offered a strange alternate meaning for the song. "Actually, that was a song about a concussion," he claimed. "It was just one of those 4-track demo things late at night," he revealed. This was offered in response to Jim DeRogatis's idea that Dumb was about drug addiction. That is from Wikipedia. Look it up, guys. my input | Reviewer: matt | 12/3/08 it think the song is about only believing what you want to believe. he may think hes dumb because he cant see the obvious, while at the same time thinking that hes happy so he should just let go. by the way im high so that might not have made sense i cant tell meaning. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/10/08 for me this means that i am not like them, i reamember not beeing like my so called best friends and not beeing like them at all. but i did get drunk and get hangover while beeing half happy. probably not what Kurt ment but its the first thing that pops innto my head. i think its pretty straightforward | Reviewer: john | 10/15/08 i think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. this is just what i think,ok,so please dont diss my opinion. it sounds like this song is plainly about how ignorance is bliss,and how being a smart person will just get in the way of having fun,and stupid people aren't blocked by such barriers. pls tell me what you think... Stop with the over-analyses | Reviewer: I Dont Care | 10/5/08 Some of you read waaaaaaaaaaaay too into this. But then again, it's not just music. as like bach or someone said, music is of the soul. think about the mood of the song reflecting of the lyrics, and you get it...without saying a word or having to get into conspiracy theories about what EXACTLY kurt felt at the time. i'd like to look at that stuff too, god knows i'm a huge fan, but aren't we doing what he detested, looking at it like that instead of it being a great piece of music? let it be | Reviewer: Mike | 10/4/08 Kurt had stomach issues but even he himself admitted in an interview that this was only PART of the reason he started using heroin. While he mentioned it, he never really used it as a crutch for his addiction. You can see the interview on a documentary called "the last 48 hours of Kurt Cobain". You can find it on Youtube in its entirety. Its still my opinion that Courtney was nothing other than a source of happiness for Kurt and the way people try to interpret and twist his feelings because THEY dont like Courtney makes me sick. Yes, they had a fucked up life together, mainly due to drugs. But he loved her very much and never indicated otherwise. But nonetheless, this is a great jam.
