I think the lyrics have more to do with human relationships, particularly those in which women are trying to "free" themselves from males' "tyranny." In this light, no matter what direction the woman takes to try to escape some type of fate of domesticity, she always ends up fooling herself into thinking she has led a unique and meaningful life. By fooling herself into thinking she has won, she hands a moral victory to the very men she was trying to beat. Not only that, but her costant attempts to 'rise above' or hurt individual males still leads her to become some other male's victory. The lyrics are a kind of warning toward adopting the attitudes in late 20th century feminism, because the resentment and sense of struggle with in it cause the person to fool themselves a constant state of trying to prove some kind of triumph over the world. And obviously living a life where one is fooling their self, is not really achieving a meanigful form of self-actualization.

I really love this song, and i actually think that it is about things people do to pleased god, in this case, but refers to all kind of extreme relathionships

if you've ever been in a controlling relationship you can see what this means. Most of Nirvana's songs i've heard are pretty much open to interpretation. Some may say that Kurt was a creative genious and some would say he was totally screwed up and just got lucky, i say why can't he be both.

There is a previous song by Curt called "sad" ,
its actually the same song ,

but he sang it much slower and "darker"
Probably the song is called "sappy" because of the
faster and fresher rythm. sad+happy?
dunno
just my 2 cents
sorry for my bad english

Its About God Being the one who fucks U and u still think its for a reason ,Letting yourself be control by religion , And the name says it all ,that it's fooling and goffy Don't Know only kurt knows what beauty he wrote

WHERE'S THE BIG TRUTH?
YOU'RE NOT THERE!
WE'RE NOT THERE!
well this is about, if make a person a sad or make him feel bad, you will make him happy and some people who just made fun of that person, you will think you're happy!

the verses make sence to me and i agree that it is as has been explained below but the chorus....wtf! "your in a laundry room"? :S

I ever thaught that the title "sappy" is a wordmix of "sad" and "happy" ..

Could it be..?

the title and the lyrics are completely different; the song is clearly about someone being in a hard relationship, and yes i guess u could say being controlled 2 do stuff, but not in a religious way, think about it

Want me to explain? The lyrics of sappy are about the world in which we live, with yes, reference to god. It is a comparison to a bug kept in a jar, complete with leaves and wallowing in its own self created filth. The jar is the world, and the sap in sappy is the bug (person), which trys to justify itself and give itself meaning and happyness. Kurts view on the subject, is that we need to see the glass walls, and need to realize the real predicament, of being stuck in a jar.

wow. to gabby, have you ever heard the song "in bloom"? That ones for you and all the people who think the point is "not to think about it and just listen". If thats the beauty of it im going to go hang myself.

I think the lyrics are a stab at christianity, hence kurt didnt have the greatist respect for religion. Sap means somebody easily controlled and maybe in this case controlled by god. Think about it.
