I guess you would have to be a user to know. he just made up all the illnesses to coat the drug. withdrawals make your stomach hurt very badly and your body VERY cold. You could wear a coat in the summer and not get warm. Constipation is a huge side effect of heroin use. like you are getting raped once a week if you actually eat. a bloody brick kerplunks in the bowl.

Debate debate, pass time distract yourself. The only difference between us and the majority of the other animals is we hav the option of reflection. To look back on what weve done and comment. Kurt Cobain was a very unhappy man who shot himself in the head. Kurt Cobain was a very talented and astute muscian who only ever sang about things that he felt some truth behind. The result was some legend songs. I dont believe in god, so his music is like a mating call for me, so important. His music is for all the millions and millions of departed. 'When the soul is dead but life lingers on'. That was all irrelevant. Like your faces. shut the fuck up | Reviewer: k-dawg | 9/20/08 ive read sum good interpretations of the lyrics on here, such as Review about Pennyroyal Tea, a myriad of interpretations, and penny royalties. i actually think that all of these interpretations are correct. not all of you will think the same and thats ur opinion. but dont fukin sit here and say thats a shit interpretation, it has nothing to do with abortions, because it does have references to abortions (well some people could think so) and hows that fuckhead sayin, "you guys are fucking retarded.....why try to figure out the meanings of a song.....it was grunge, he just said shit you can barley understand, dont listen to the lyrics, listen to the music." wat a fuckin dick head, yea he sounds like a reeeaal fan aye. probably waks off to my chemical romance...kunt This is | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/08 my all time favourite because we got to feel what Kurt felt through this song. It is true that Kurt wrote a lot of music before writing lyrics, always stating music came first. This song is different, similarly to All Apologies and a couple of others from Inutero, Kurt beared his soul in this song. You only have to watch MTV unplugged to see that this song meant a hell of a lot to him personally. To say this song meant nothing to him, could not be further from the truth. For me it sums up his entire painful emotional state. His stomach ilnesses, his rise to royalty, despite his hate of being famous and selling out. His depression and anxiety and complete restlessnes with what he had become. He told the whole world in that song what was wrong and i love it to pieces. im a liar and a theif | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/18/08 He writes in his journal that a song doesn't mean the same thing to everyone blah blah blah, there isn't one meaning, thats from the mouth of the writer. So shut up, its good music. It can mean anything to anyone. a myriad of interpretations | Reviewer: Lillian | 3/23/08 there are obviously not only many interpretations but many meanings within the lyrics. I have listened to an interview where Kurt himself states that penny royal tea does refer to abortion, it was a medieval remedy. The vitriol of Nicole who adamantly dismisses this is just irritating, why is it ignorant to suggest what the song is about...obviously there are references to his chronic stomach pains, a play on penny royalties etc. It's funny how people can be so defensive and childish when they love something and want to own its meaning. calm it.... Just a comment | Reviewer: Just Joe | 3/13/08 To suggest the lyrics to the song meant nothing is ridiculous. "They meant nothing, just listen to the grunge music man" - ugh, please, you obviously don't realize how stupid you sound. But anyway, that's my problem more than yours since you are likely oblivious to it anyway - which in the end I guess is good for you. Anyways, the lyrics have meaning. What exactly they are is open to interpretation without having Cobain's own explanation of what he wrote. love it. | Reviewer: ky | 3/4/08 Too be honest, Everyone should just shut up and stop arguing, ya kno? He wrote what he wanted, obviously we all love the stuff he wrote, so why fight about it? Give the guy the respect he deserves and just love the music. R.I.P Kurt Cobain well... i think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/4/08 i think that kurt said the words he said fro poetic reasons. Like "pennroyal tea" and "royalty" but the meaning is obvioiusly more complicated. And i also think that this might have been about rehab. You get that sense of lonliness when he sings it. Kind of like "somethings in the way". Or this could be in someone else's point of view. Like "Polly" Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6
