Both versions of this song, Nirvana's COVER (not just Cobain!) and the Meat Puppets ORIGINAL are great in their own way. There is a faster live version from '85 thats sweet too. I like pxpx92 interpretation about drugs and the Descartes reference as well. I think "the results are always perfect" could also be related to how there is no good or bad in this world, there is just "is" or "being". So no matter how great or screwed up things seem, they are always perfect in the sense that they are what they are, and simply "being" is perfection in itself. Buddhism 101. I think the song could be strongly related to Buddhism in the sense of letting go of oneself and one's ego and freeing from your "self" and letting your spirit melt away into the world. The lyrics really support this. Anyway the song is genius.
I agree with you and thank you for your light! it was not easy for me to catch the meaning of the song because I'm french and english is not my mother tong. listnening carefully was not helping me at all, I really needed to read the lyrics... if we forget the drug and the suicide (which I believe is not the meaning of the songs really), let's just think about the fact that we have guys who called their band "nirvana". and i'm sure they were all enough inteligent to know what Nirvana is about. and Meat puppets, looking...

thank you again!
