How can you have integrety when you're on drugs [look a dealer in the eye/ go for credit in the straight world/won't you try]. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Mallory Softer, Softest - I honestly think this song is reflecting her childhood. I mean all the lines like "pee girl gets the belt" and she was referred to as pee girl when she was young. Also "burn the witch, she's dead, burn the witch just bring me back her head." I think that line reflects two things. The first is how she was looked upon as a witch and mean by other kids (eg. snow white play) and the second is referring to her mother and how her mother is in a way emotionally dead to her. This song sounds so pretty but it is really sad when you really listen to the lyrics! - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Adi Softer, Softest - well, anyone who read poppy`s book "Courtney love-the real story", probably can guess that this is about CL childhood as the interpretation before mine said. but because I love this song so much, I'm gone talk about the obvious. "I told u everything..." part refers to a childhood friend of CL (dont remember his name) which she used to tell him everything that was going in her weird family, and all the bad stuff that she did "just never tell on me" (read that somewhere). the strong motif of milk in the song is not the kind of milk most people think she's referring to but it is breast milk, her mother milk which she later had nightmares about as a little girl ,poisoned milk and stuff like that . everybody already knows about the "pee-girl" motif, so I wont mention it. "the abyss opens up it steal everything from me" talks about the void that was created from her mother and childhood issues that everytime that void kind of opens up she become the witch that everybody hates so much and that obviously take everything from her, love and human compassion. "burn the witch..." can only means people perception of her, and the witch hunt she had to go through ever since she married Kurt, "if she flows, then she is not a witch like we had thought" Kurt Cobain. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By amanda Softer, Softest - i think that this song 'softer softest' is about a young girl's friendship with a girl friend and her reaction to the opposite sex, which carries over into her adulthood. the opening lines with 'i tell you everything' 'never tell on me' etc. reveal an intimate friendship between two young girls or just the nature of a friendship between two girls. they tell each other secrets and promise never to tell. 'pee girl' refers to, i think, the narrator (courtney or whoever) and the title she claims on herself shows her low self esteem and low thoughts of herself. she says she gets the 'belt' which could mean physical torture or metaphorically 'hurt' or 'scarred' by men in her life. she speaks of her girl friend's 'milk' which is her sweetness, her nature, her loyalty whatever. it makes the pee girl 'mind' about what other people think about her and she can stand up for herself because the girl friend's love has given her strength. it makes her whole and complete. when she speaks of the 'sour' 'sick' milk she speaks about *her* view of boys or men as scary and sour. the other milk or boy has a 'dick' as the lyrics say. it shows some young girls' view of boys as 'icky' or that boys have 'cooties'. pee girl would much rather stay in the sanctuary of her own world with her female friend. 'i've got a blister from touching everything i see' means that she has given herself up to the men in her current adult life and only got scarred in the end. or maybe she has a blister from emotionally touching everyone. her giving her love has left her blistered and soul sick and emty w/ no more love to give. the 'abyss' of people she loved and cared for seemed to swallow her up and devour her, never letting her be her own person. she still maybe longs for her carefree girlhood days with her best girl friend. 'burn the witch' is the pee girl's adult dejection of her childhood friend and her childhood. it is her supposed 'sensibility' coming into play. she announces the girl frind as a 'witch' as 'evil' and something that is too secluded for her. something she needs to give up so she can become part of her current world and live in the present or be how other people want her to be. but she says 'just bring me back her head' because she still wants a part of the girl. still loves herfriend. in the end, she might stay in hiding with her friend..away from the 'sour milk' to become sheltered with her girl friend's sweet milk or sweet love and friendship. or maybe she just remains to daydream about her old friend and continues her self destructive adult life. or perhaps the adult pee girl wishes her girlhood friend would come back and they could have there own world again as adult women. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By kim She Walks Over Me - This song is so obviously (or atleast appears that way to me) about the Bean. I really think that its a thing were she realized that Francis was alot like her... the same... I think she saw the idea that a REAL family was a very big deal and that it reinforced the tether that held Francis closer than her own breath. I think its about realizing that you are not perfect but atleast trying...And that a GIRL baby can get away with more than one would think. Maybe even this was written through Francis eyes... just opinion... what it is to me... - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Laura Palomo She Walks Over Me - The opening verse is about a punk girls attitude. Young girls that are into punk are tom-boys, they don'twant to read girlie anorexic magazines, they are not obsessed with beingthin or beautiful. They do not have CV's/resumees where they have to belittle miss perfect. They are not concerned with being an ideal. This song, out lining these punk girl rules totallycontradict that notion. Sure, they differ from mainstream girls but they are still stereotypes. Then the song also goes on to say how the noun has beentaken over by all this attituse "she walks over me" the dominant woman.In the next verse it points out how punk girls aresuspicious of and therefore are man haters as far as being in a "loving"relationship with one is concerned: She believes that to men women/the mainstream woman issubmissive, men use these women for sex: "My Stupid Fuck My blushing bride" men see these womenas stupid. Then it's time for the dominant woman chorus. Then she goes on to say how either the noun/ men usethese women for a laugh, to humour themselves Then Courtney becomes the submissive woman gowing moredominant, give it to me, don't you touch me, we are the same ie we,manand woman, are equal. The noun becomes the dominant woman. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Julia She Walks Over Me - It seems that with this song Courtney isn't really talking about one main idea, one theme, it's more a few rolled in together. One thing she seems to be definately writing about is her relastionship with Robyn Babour (or however her name is spelt!). When they spent so much time together in England, living on the money Courtney had recieved, they dressed the same, looked the same, dyed their hair the same, talked the same etc etc and it got to the point where it became too suffocating to be friends because they were TOO much alike. And this led to Courtney resenting their relationship. The lines "kitty, kitty, please come here /don't, don't you touch me, don't you dare /we look the same, we talk the same, we are the same, we are the same" really show this. The lines that really strike me in the song are the opening ones of "geeks do not have pedigrees or perfect punk rock resumes /or anorexic magazine", it seems that she is pointing out that geeks don't "try" to be cool, that they're not sitting there going oh I've been a fan of this band way before they were famous, or sitting there looking through all the latest magazines trying to find out whats hot and whats not. It's as thought they're themselves and they don't care. And they're content with that. This kind of tied in with the Robyn part because both her and Courtney were not really considered that "cool" when they got to England, because they were loud americans etc etc etc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Erica I Think That I Would Die - This song has had profound meaning to me, and I think that what courtney was expressing was something that I went through~ When my husband and I had our second son, Satchel, The last month of my pregnancy the baby was in fetal stress do to the diminishing amniotic fluid in the plasenta~ He was born 5 weeks early and was taken from us as soon as the umbilical cord was cut~ part because he was premature and the other, his umbilical chord was around his neck~ Do to the lack of early bonding because he was unable to come out of the incubator, all of my milk dried up in my breasts~ I was devestated that my baby had no way of nursing~ when courtney sings passionately that there is no milk I feel that she might be singing about that~ If a baby does not nurse right away they usually will not take to it later~ hence, there is no more milk. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By lilith I Think That I Would Die - Frances Bean! it's all about that stupid fucking vanity fair article and how they practically stole her baby, and how that shadows like frances' little cross to bare, and it taking from her innocence. and i think that line hes stupid/ i'm smarting is about how kurt was real sick then and she was hurting him and she really needed him. but that line its not yours/fuck you is one of the most explosive lines on this album. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By kat I Think That I Would Die - *this is not my interpretation, but what the song is really about.* this song dates back to when courtney and kurt where struggling to keep frances. frances had to be kept away from them (with someone, i forgot her name) and courtney found this traumatizing. hence the line: i want my baby/where is the baby/i want my baby/who took my baby. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Shany Rock Star - This is about individuality. School, the army, boarding schools and such - institutes that are insisting on making everyone the same, people just figures to them, you can't be different. They stuck you in their definitions and you can't have something of your own, and they don't let you develop your personality (sarcastic - "Don't you please make me real"). Also, there's criticism towards the attitude that the system is good for you, and educates you ("Do it for the kids"). - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Dave Rock Star - I'm not one of those people who looks for Kurt references in every Hole song, but THIS one's about him, surely? 'We look the same, we talk the same, we even fuck the same'. The 'Make me real / Fuck you' part could apply to the push-pull relationship of any celebrity to the media, or to his/her fans,but 'Do it for the kids' seems to be urging someone to keep doing something they've outgrown or tired of. On the opening track of 'In Utero' Kurt sang wearliy about how 'teenage angst has paid off well, but now I'm bored and old'.'Rock Star' sounds like Courtney's answer to this complaint. She says basically the same thing on Celebrity Skin's 'Reasons to be Beautiful' when she replies to his suicide note. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By khryss Rock Star - i think that Rock star talks about when Courtney was in the school in olympia with other members of Babes in toyland. i don't know if that it's true, but almost i read it in a magazine. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Irene Rock Star - I think that "Rock star" is a song about teenagers. When you’re a teen you can think about things like the revolution, you know, you think about things that are larger than you!!! Courtney Love wrote this song to know that she were a nice girl, very intelligent, but you know, she has got a difficoult life, a bad family and the other teenagers didn’t understand her. So when she were famous with Live through this she wanted to know that if they understand her in her "teenage" probably, now, would be better than how she is now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - By molly Rock Star - this song is mocking the whole riot grrl scene that started in olympia. i believe she means that all these girls that were in it are the same and she doesn't like them and she thinks the whole thing is idiotic why else would she fake laugh in the beginning of thesong - - - - - - - - - - - - - Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3 - Page 4 - Page 6 - Page 7 - Page 8 - Page 9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
