All Apologies

Nirvana lyrics are not to be understood by the words; they are meant to create the mood, rather than a meaning. That’s what the experts say. I have a different theory though. The absurdity, or abstractness, of the lyrics is the result of a commonsensical insight Cobain had. Which he penned down for the song In Bloom. This time, very explicit.

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
And I say... yeaahh

All apologies, what else should he say after that. And when Sinead O’ Connor sings that to you strumming a lone guitar, what else can you say, than to accept that unconditionally!
