Drain You Lyrics

Performed by Nirvana
Review The Song (97)

One baby to another says
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube
And end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you

With eyes so dialated
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow
I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful
Vacuum out the fluids

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
I like you
You

Guitar solo

YEAHHHH!
One baby to another says
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube
And end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I like you

love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/12

this song is about a boy and a girl and the love between them, and i love it. so innocent and primitive and harsh and demanding but definitely absolute in itself. this is real love. draining each other...

We are all born unique interpreters | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/7/12

I wish people would just find their own meaning in the song. Since, as humans, we are all flawed and have our interpretations of the truth whether we like to admit it or not.

I happen to interpret this song as a love hate relationship with society and those authoritative figures in it. Society for example, through public education, tries to clone us into followers of their interpretation of what is worth knowing and what is the truth. They are chewing our meat for us, and passing it on through the regurgitation of a world view that has become considered Truthful. We do not think for ourselves anymore, and that is the greatest pain I have come to find in my life. So let everyone interpret and create freely. That, to me is the beauty of this life. Don't let society Drain You and your creative minds!!!

kurt | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/5/11

the album is nevermind so dont mind the lyrics kurt killed himself due to wrong interpretion of his lyrics in [polly] so if you love kurt then stop interpreting such things about his lyrics

taking this shit too seriously | Reviewer: Sanksrit | 12/4/11

You guys take this song too seriously. I think he once said that he doesn't overthink lyrics... He just wrote down what he had in mind... That's it! Maybe there is a meaning in the song. Let's not question the music and just listen!

Parasitic Twin | Reviewer: Edna Griswald | 11/18/11

This song is, ostensibly, a take on the relationship between a pair of twins, one "healthy" and one parasitic. Images are from both inside the womb ("in utero") as well as outside it.

In classic Cobain fashion, Kurt abstracts this image to communicate a metaphor for dependency, ("you're my vitamins" on the parasitic twin's part), and co-dependency on the "healthy" twin's part ("pass it back and forth/ in a passionate kiss"). It therefore communicates a message about the needy/ destructive nature of intimate relationships in tones that are alternately earnest and sarcastic, and therefore ironic.

But mostly, if you find yourself screaming along, it's because Kurt was a master of channeling something primal within himself (and therefore inside us all), whether it makes "logical sense," or not. Instead, it makes "emotional sense," which is doubly ironic when our emotions are so bewildering, confusing, and incomprehensible that they drive us to self-destruction (shotgun). And that is both his genius and his tragedy.

Idiots. | Reviewer: blech | 11/13/11

You are all taking these lyrics far too seriously. If you are seriously stupid enough as to say that this song is about drugs, nerh. "Chew your meat for you, passing back and forth, in a passionate kiss, from my mouth to yours". If it's about heroin, does he also kiss needles? Does a needle eat meat? "I don't care what you think unless it is about me". Does a needle/heroin have a brain? You're all far too serious and fail to understand that Kurdt never put too much meaning in a song, you are all just looking for an explanation to see him as a fucking junkie.

Yeah. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/12/11

Ah now lads. Have a cup of tea. I heard nobody knew what the song was about. I heard he took it to his urn with a cup of tea. Ah sure he was a stand up man that Kurt. Drank lots of tea. Have a cup of tea. Gwan sure, you might as well have a cup of tea.

loling at the new breed | Reviewer: mr_stef | 10/1/11

I gotta ask, just how many of you were there when Nirvana came to light? As a fan with some pretty cool shirts, I meet tonnes of new nirvana fans and everyone seems to have this tabloid interpretation of who Kurdt was. Rape Me was written long before In Utero was released and one of Kurdt's explinations was that it was about red necks, not the media as most of you have read. Drain You is a love song, it's been in the back ground mix of many a passionate night for me and because of the tabloid image it's easily understandable why you would confuse much of what Kurdt wrote as being about drugs. Spend an hour with Dave or Krist and you'll get a more factual idea of what Kurdt was actually like, just another guy who liked to have a chat and smoke a few cigarettes. One day, someone might even write a book about him. maybe.

Everyone.. | Reviewer: Zeke | 9/11/11

Kurt Cobain. The music had meaning, but meaning to him. It was probably about alot of things. sex "Chew your meat for you". drugs "yellow water". but It was not meant to be taken seriously in any way or shape. You wanna honor kurt? Spray paint a boat. Write "boat". He wanted to be an artist, not a musician. Don't take his lyrics seriously, and don't try to find a hidden message. You want hidden meaning? Go to the song "Rape Me" and remember what was going on in his life when it was written.

you won't figure it out. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/18/11

Hey everyone who thinks this song is about anything just fuck off. Kurt didnt write songs with any meaning at all. Just enjoy the song and give it the meaning you want to, and I think Kurt'll be happy with it.

I hate all of you.
/Jesus

Whatever. | Reviewer: YesIEatCow | 8/17/11

It amuses me that all you people take these lyrics so seriously. Why does it matter? Listen to the song and enjoy it. Stop acting like you know what Kurt meant by his lyrics, because nobody will ever really know, but Kurt. He didn't even take em as seriously as 95% of you people here. They're lyrics, not the fuckin word of God. Enjoy the beautiful lyrics. Go procreate.

Poopong is wrong and right | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/7/11

This song is about love. Kurt was singing about the one he loved heroin. We hear a love song because that's what he sang we insert the one or thing we love most when we hear the song that's the beauty of it.

Junkie Love | Reviewer: poopnog | 8/1/11

lol @ everyone who thinks this song is about love... it's definitely about heroin. The obvious clues are: the tube is a syringe, the infection is a track mark, the yellow water is the heroin—yellow or white H is the potent stuff. Being a recreational opiate user myself, I guess it's just clearer to me.

"Just because the man did drugs didn't mean he preached for them."

You don't get it. He's not advocating junk here, he's just writing about it. Slipping into a habit is probably the worst decision anyone can make, 'cause once you get a habit like Kurt's was, you have to use everyday, or you'll get sick and stay sick for a week. At that point, opiates aren't for fun anymore, it's a lifestyle. William Burroughs, the first famous junkie of the 20th century, of whom Kurt looked up to, did the same thing, making art by writing about his junkie past.

you're an idiot, max. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/31/11

This song is about shooting heroin. do you really think kurt would openly come out and slander himself by telling the world that the song was about heroin? he was self-conscious like everyone else, and didn't feel comfortable pointing out what was really going on. Read the lyrics, if you've ever known someone who used heroin you could see that. he is talking about how heroin drains the life from you. one baby is heroin the other is him. drugs are an immature escape.the water is yellow because it has dope in it. the needle vacuums out the fluids. the poison apple analogy is supposed to mean once his eyes were opened to the bliss that is opiates, he could never look back. your eyes get dialated when you use opiates.
-open your eyes everyone. he couldn't paint a clearer picture. just because his close friends would rather he was not remembered for his drug use shouldn't cloud your eyes to what the song really was about. for your own sake. stay away from all opiates. I've seen it ruin so many lives.
