General Comment I always thought it was about a parrot! Nooo, it's metaphoric. A sexually abused parrot, wow that's disturbing on so many levels!! Flag DizziDog on April 03, General Comment Mhhm, i read that after one of kurt's concerts or some other bands someone kidnapped a young girl, and raped her, and hurt her with a blowtorch and so on. Kurt found that so sickening and got really angry, that he wrote this ironic song. It's against rape! When some guys afterwards raped a girl, playing this song to it, Kurt got really angry that they misinterpreted it wrong, and that those were the kinds of fans he had, so he wrote in some Cd cover "to anyone that hates women, blacks, gays and so on, leave us the fuck alone" I'm not sure on how it exactly goes Flag pam on October 21, General Comment This song is about the kidnap of the girl after the concert. She was tortured with a blowtorch through a cage and possibly raped But she started to pretend to enjoy it. The capturer started to bring her places because she seemed to like the abuse and to approve of his before. Then, one day, at a gas station, the girl waited until he went inside to pay. She had gained his trust so much that he left the door unlocked. She ran away straight to the police and he was caught at the gas station. General Comment It is also obvious that Curt sings "cut yourself" and not "don't cut yourself" or "dont't hurt yourself" as in canonical official Nevermind texts. I think it's a really psychologically brilliant song, which gets into a situation of rape and abuse, into relation between rapist and victim and rapist's bored, dull interior, full of contempt to a human. Curt IS an overwhelming man. Take care Nirvana funs, as we do here in Novosibirsk, Russia! Flag gradx on February 21, Yes, it definitely sounds like just 'cut yourself' Flag manic4manics on February 09, It makes sense, isnt it? Prosecutor Tom Stratton said he would recommend an exceptionally long sentence for Friend, 49 age , who was convicted in a similar attack 27 years ago. In the latest case, Friend was charged with first-degree kidnapping and first-degree rape in the attack that occurred over several hours late June 5 and early June 6. Officials said the victim was a runaway who accepted a ride from Friend near the Tacoma Dome after she attended a rock concert in the area. When the girl tried to get out of the car, authorities said, she was handcuffed and abducted at knife-point to Friend's mobile home. The victim testified last week that Friend tortured and repeatedly raped her with several objects in his mobile home. She said he blindfolded her and ran a propane torch close to her skin. She eventually escaped. All rights reserved. Reproduced with the permission of the Seattle Post- Intelligencer. Record Number: Take a look on this sentence: Officials said the victim was a runaway who accepted a ride from Friend near the Tacoma Dome after she attended a rock concert in the area Polly was originally titled "Hitchhiker", and later "Cracker" from Wikipedia Let me take a ride after that they went to friends Caravan, that is where the dialog in Chorus happened Cut Yourself oh yeah, and this part: Polly wants a cracker Maybe she would like some food only in Nevermind version I guess, in another version like in Album Incesticide, Unplugged, etc. General Comment This song talks about a raping His motion will be ruled on in the coming months. Also named in the suit filed in the U. The financial stakes for Nirvana vs. Marc Jacobs could be significant. In its short career before the death of Cobain, Nirvana created a body of work that reached a rarefied status that matched multi-platinum sales with lasting cultural impact. Fisher says he was soon instructed not to send any more emails, and eventually learned that Nirvana had copyrighted the smiley image and T-shirt design decades earlier. Fisher says he was surprised by the revelation, though obviously aware that the happy face continued to be marketed, never thinking much about compensation. Dave Grohl upgrades his drum battle with year-old prodigy with a superhero salute. Discussions online about the drawing among fans and in news articles often take at face value the idea that it was created by Cobain, though physical evidence or published comments from the singer about the logo have yet to emerge. One theory is that it was inspired by a similar smiley on the marquee of the defunct Lusty Lady Strip Club in Seattle. Fisher insists none of that is true. It appeared again on an invitation to a record release party in Seattle. In depositions, Grohl and Novoselic said they did not know who designed the smiley, according to a November filing by Jacobs. At Geffen, Fisher received a salary, and no financial windfall if one of his designs ended up on an album that sold millions. At the same time, it was common for Geffen staffers to do additional work for bands outside of their label duties. And Geffen was totally cool about letting people stay later or come in on the weekend and use the computers. Just as often, he says, band managers would request help designing stickers, tour laminates and other pieces for Geffen acts. He did it for Nirvana, Beck and many others without any talk of compensation, though it was considered outside label duties. He saw the additional tasks as a way to support the acts he worked with, and as an extension of the original DIY punk ethos — where photographers might shoot free pictures for a young band and fans provided floors to sleep on for groups traveling cross-country on low-budget van tours. His illustration on the card included a woman dancing in a T-shirt with the smiley face.

Blow torch could be to mean the actual blow torch that was used against her or could be a sexual reference or phallic reference thus when he says I have some seeds it could be food, drugs pot etc or it could be semen. Just the idea that he is defiling her. Clipping her wings. Wings could be reference her hands being attached to a pulley rope as she was unable to use them. But also people clip chicken wings or other caged birds so that they cannot escape. He does not want to let her escape. He is trying his best to not let her go.
