A first person narrative of a nervous breakdown, or an update of the Marxist description of religion as 'Opiate of the masses'. An ode to disconnection.
An attack on people who listen to certain music for the wrong reason. Imagine the macho, gun toting guy who sings along to Nirvana, but has no clue what he's singing about.
Themes of co-dependancy and many other themes.
A song about making a tough decision and the difficult choices around it and the guilt following it. Pennyroyal Tea is an abortive substance.
In Kurt's words, the song is a sort of poetic justice. A guy rapes a girl. He ends up in jail and is raped there.
Ignorance is bliss. There is a certain care-free happiness involved in being dumb. Drug related thems dominate the song.
