I love Tori's version of this song (not that I don't love Nirvana's, because of course they're both amazing)
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.
