And if you save yourself,
You will make him happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
And you'll think you're happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
And you'll think you're happy...
He'll cover you with grass,
And you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
And if you cut yourself,
You will think you're happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
Then you'll make him happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
Then you'll think you're happy...
He'll cover you with grass,
Then you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
And if you fool yourself,
You will make him happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
Then you'll think you're happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
Then you will seem happy...
You'll wallow in the shit,
Then you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh...
You will make him happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
And you'll think you're happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
And you'll think you're happy...
He'll cover you with grass,
And you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
And if you cut yourself,
You will think you're happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
Then you'll make him happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
Then you'll think you're happy...
He'll cover you with grass,
Then you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh.
And if you fool yourself,
You will make him happy!
He'll keep you in a jar,
Then you'll think you're happy...
He'll give you breathing holes,
Then you will seem happy...
You'll wallow in the shit,
Then you'll think you're happy... now!
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
You're in a laundry room,
Conclusion came to you, ohhh...

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with grass
And you'll think you're happy now
says to me that we are only here to keep god happy , yes we are provided with everything we need to survive (breathing holes) and because this life is all we know we think we are happy . but not everyone enjoys life , to me this is summed up by the final verse .... and if you fool your self you will make him happy.Towards the end the depression got worse and the lyrics seem darker.
You're really in a laundry room
You're really in a laundry room
The clue just came to you, oh
this implies somewhere dull , uninviting and generally a place you wouldnt want to live.
the closest i can put it is that we are all like a bug kept in a jar,
you might feed it and provide everything it could need but it will never be truly happy. The jar is earth and our keeper is god.
this is only my interpretation and i wouldnt be at all suprised if it was totally wrong .
"He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll think you're happy" He'll trap you and confine you, but you'll think you're happy because you're in "love."
"He'll give you breating holes, then you will seem happy" He'll give you a small portion of time alone, and you'll think that everything is going well.
"You're in a laundry room, Conclusion came to you" You're in a practical state of mind (for once) and you realize you're being neglected.
That's just what I get out of it, but everybody interprets things differently. Especially when it comes to Kurt Cobain.
So Cobain could have been thinking, "Hey, what if God is a little kid with a jar, and we are all those insects that He wants to make happy so He's happy too?".
Think that we're little crickets or ants (weak creatures), trapped in a jar (life) with holes poked in so that we can breathe (religion, or that little faith we can barely experience here, while there is a world outside of the "jar" full of this "oxygen" or God's faith, love, or whatever you want to call it) and we're owned by this selfish little boy (God) who takes happiness in seeing you suffer and dig your way out of the grass (problems) you've been covered in. Then, of course, we continue to praise this boy for "saving us" for keeping us in this "jar" when in reality we have "saved ourselves" (see first line) and go on to conform Him and make Him happy.
What I'm clueless about is what this "laundry room" where the "jar" rests is.. is it the whole Universe? Does the "jar" actually signify Earth, and the laundry room is the Universe? Maybe..
That goes on to show the actual darkness and uselessness of a God who makes people "happy" so He's happy.
I have no idea what this song really means, but if it means this, then that is upsetting. I don't see God torturing us to make him happy, life is made out of bad AND good things.
the conclusion came to you, oh...
'him' are the employers, people from the capitalist society and he is talking about how we keep in line, try to keep happy so you can go back to working your ass off, making them money.
'keep you in a job and youll think your happy' - people in western society believe that being happy is having a job/money
the laundry lines (i think) are about when he was washing his clothes for work and he realised all of this equality.
breathing holes - money in order to survive (while they live 'amazing' lives)
I COULD GO ON FOR HOURS BUT I DONT THINK PEOPLE WILL READ THIS IF IT IS TOO LONG
