Their best pro-style song is Aneurysm - it's just a riff off 60's pop and is wonderful.For all the poem’s structural simplicity, Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” perfectly encapsulates the poetic concept of complex metaphor. They kept being told to record songs that could play on the radio - so they made a song of horrific reverb with a wonderful drop that might be the best 20 seconds in rock and roll history. Nirvana's best song is "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" - because it is a totally "fuck you" to the music industry. Heart-Shaped Box is about the toxic relationship he had with his family. Dumb is a feeling of worthlessness and using drugs to escape. Polly is about kidnapping and pedophilia (inspired by a girl that escaped). Drain You is about Cobain's own guilt and about wearing a girl down for sex. Most of Nirvana's songs had REALLY dark themes. The song's lyrics are actually an almost melancholy longing for one's abuser and an indictment of the media. They were told not to play it and they came out and played the first verse or two of Rape Me before shifting into Teen Spirit. Nirvana even played it at the VMAs (I believe). But it's essentially the same chord structure as "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Cobain fucking HATED Smells Like Teen Spirit and intentionally made it as a mock of it. I think one of Nirvana's best songs is "Rape Me." It's a "fuck you" to the music industry - a song so offensive that it can't be played. Please also read the site-wide Reddiquette.
