Drain You

This is one of the more disturbing popular songs I can think of. This song is not about love or a heroine addiction. It's about abortion.

Mom's pregnant but she's got a surprise. She's got twins and doesn't know it. A lot of the dialogue in the song is hello, goodbye, and thanks between the 2 embryos. One of the babies makes it through the procedure and the other is paying homage to the lost brother or sister.

The next time you listen to the break and build up in the song listen for the squeaky noise effects. Those are babies toys. Listen for the back and forth effect as the vacuum does it's business. Listen to the scream diminish as the baby is sucked away.

Consider cobain wasn't scared to address the subject in pennyroyal tea. Consider the constant medical references throughout in utero as well as the almost obsessive use of babies in the album art. Consider the name of the song. Quite bluntly titled Drain you.

This song is a dark masterpiece and as I said disturbing. If you've managed to read this far, Drain you will never sound the same again.
