Come on over
Do the twist (aha)

Come on over
Shoot the shit (aha)
Love you so much

She keeps it pumpin' strait in my heart.

The 'Love you so much, makes me sick (aha)' lyric refers to him feeling so awful about her breaking up with him that he was physically sick.
if only he knew that to this day he would create such controversy. it is said he hated people misinterpreting his lyrics. how can that be true, he wrote in a way to cause the confusion being suffered by all and must be up there looking down finally with a dirty great big smile on his face. just like in his song writing he said things that would put people of the scent of what he really thought. when he said he hated being misinterpreted i think he really loved it.
internally there was lots going on, creation from conflicts and much more besides. I think he was often excited and happy inside but the external mask was one of disdain and whatever.
some of his songs are clearly straighforward and yet get over analysed and made into something completely different, others mean nothing in particular and also get over analysed etc etc. thats pretty much what he wanted and if it means something to you then it means something to you. the fact that people can read so much and such a wide variety into all his work is part of what makes it so enduringly vital and keeps it fresh. i have read some peoples interpretations which have clearly been made in relation to a world after that which Kurt was part of and the fact that people can relate his lyrics to society today just shows how much simplicity and genius was combined in the writing of the songs in the beginning.
its a great shame Kurt is no longer with us but at least his untimely death has ensured that his work did not become diluted by becoming a hugely prolific body of work much of which could have been mediocre in the end. many of the longest working artists produce so much worthless rubbish in their quest to retain their celebrity, creative spark and of course keep the money rolling in.
I love all the arguments between interpretations and peoples opinions. Its really entertaining to hear some people comment as if they were inside his head and state facts as if others are idiots. None of them know some of what he wrote and why and some of them cant see the wood for the trees, its brilliant. Cheers Kurt :)
in death Kurt's message got across and his legacy lives on
RIP
'others mean nothing in particular and also get over analysed etc etc. thats pretty much what he wanted and if it means something to you then it means something to you.'
Blowing smoke up your ass, but great line and I fully agree with everything else you wrote. It's funny how a band that was active when I was only a child and that through the rest of my life I didn't give much attention to can become one of the greatest things I've listened to in just a few months, I feel like everyone is like 'welcome to late 80's / early nineties!'
Then I think of a girl and a guy dancing and the sock hop, and that classic 'stepped on his/her toes' moment happens.
Then their like, "Ah, screw it."
And they get together anyways, to do drugs together, which isn't the best relationship haha
Anyways just my interpretation
kbye
over do it and have a fit-overdose or tweak
love you so much it makes me sick-dope sick
I think it's pretty obvious what it's about,but whatever
It's not 'Come on over...,' it's 'Come on Loder...' as in MTV's Kurt Loder. At the time, Cobain was indifferent to all of the media attention Nirvana began to get, specifically from MTV. Cobain uses Kurt Loder to represent MTV, and his love/hate relationship with the company. On one hand, they assisted in helping Nirvana achieve massive fame, but at times it gets on Cobain nerves. The 'love you so much it makes me sick' line states this.
Cobain also references a time when they visited the MTV studios to do an interview with Kurt Loder. The band was killing time, waiting to 'shoot the shit' with Loder, and started playing a game of Twister. They got Loder in on the game, and he was contorted to the point of frustration--'Come on Loder and do the twist, overdo it and have a fit.'
The chorus epitomizes Cobain's indifference to this fame. While these lyrics say 'Beat me out of me' (Cobain recognizes the part of himself that likes this attention from MTV, but realizes that it could be potentially disastrous), Cobain also says 'Beat the enemy,' meaning the corporate world, represented by Kurt Loder and MTV.
The 'she keeps it pumping straight to my heart' is an sardonic stab at the network playing all of the videos that are supposed to affect Cobain deeply.
'Come on over and do the twist'
this could be one of two things - referring to someone he does drugs with (was this written at the time when he knew Courtney?) and 'the twist' is a euphemism for the drugs.
Or it could be like he wants the effects he gets from the drugs, like he's asking for the feeling the drugs give him.
'Come on over and share the s**t'
which is actually what the lyric is, by the way. I think it's either, again, about someone he takes drugs with, but could also be like the drugs are eating away at him, and he's inviting this.
