Load up on guns; bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard; it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
[Chorus]
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard; it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now; entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now; entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial

"Bring your friends"
"She's over-bored,self assured,oh no i know a dirty word"
This girl was me.And i acted like a real s l u t
that day.
"With the lights out it's less dangerous"
Yea,we turned off the lights too.
"I feel stupid and contagious"
Yes,I feel so stupid even now when i recall these memories.
This song in my heart will always be about that day.
By the way, try not to feel too bad about things in the past. We learn from our mistakes.
"It felt really weird because the neighbors were listening. Maybe they thought I was an egomaniac, but I was really just miming the song and dancing around. It's a great breakfast cereal version."

She makes this song so dramatic.
I'm not sure exactly what this song is supposed to mean, but to me it always seems a little like suburban kids trying to be "ghetto."
"Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend"
Playing with guys and thinking it's fun to lose your friends to the street.
"She's overboard and self assured"
Going to extremes.
"Oh no, I know a dirty word "
Thinking they're cool because they can curse.
"With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us"
Trying to get their thrill from it all.
The whole song sounds like it's a story of a group of friends who tried to be ghetto, played with guns, trying to get thrill, and even thought it doesn't say, it gives the feeling that someone (the girl that was "overboard and self-assured") ended up hurt or dead.
"Hello, hello, hello, how low? (x3)
Hello, hello, hello! "
This is like the person afterwords asking the world to get a clue and asking how low everyone will go.
"I feel stupid and contagious"
Is the singer's guilt over the situation. She feels stupid for thinking they were invincible and contagious as if it were her fault.
Not sure, but I think maybe this is thier group of friends:
A mulatto - someone who's half-black, half-white
An albino - not literally, but maybe saying he/she acts really white
A mosquito - maybe this person's the one in the group who keeps hanging around, unwanted
My libido - the singer's boyfriend or girlfriend
No idea if this is what it really means. Kinda depressing to think about it this way, though.
I love the way everyone is flipping out, blatantly because they are Nirvana lovers and don't want to admit that someone did better than Kurt.
I agree with nightowl3, it sends shivers down my spine.
