Nirvana and Lyricism
Nirvana (about) Nirvana is that Buddhism thing. Nirvana is enlightenment. Nirvana is freedom from woes and desires. This is how a man named Kurt perceived punk rock. It is freedom, screw all conventions, everything is in service of the art. Oh, and Nirvana was a band. Kurt Cobain wrote almost every song for Nirvana and penned every lyric. This left-handed genius wrote some of the most influential music in rock history. I'm a big sucker for melodies, the trance-inducing riffs are what got me into Nirvana in the first place. I must admit my first time appreciating their music was only two years ago. Yep, you guessed it: Something in The Way? More like Something Pierced My Soul. But I have no idea what the lyrics mean, even still. Interestingly, people still talk about Nirvana lyrics in forums today. Half-century year-old Nirvana-heads are still debating whether Heart Shaped Box was about Kurt's mother, his relationship with Courtney, or, umm . . . Yeah, that....
