Review about Sifting poor cobain | Reviewer: jess | 12/10/09
kurt cobain did say that many of his fans took his kyrics too seriously and that he just used any old words that would go with the song. I dont think Kurt reeally cared about lyrics, he just wanted to make amazing awesome music . :) but maybe it had something to do with when he was younger or wahtever.
just things | Reviewer: matt | 11/27/09
I can understand why peoplel think this is about drug use and the rejection and stigmata one may receive due to drug use.
However, Cobains lyrics often have two meanings. Some songs can have switchable words within it. In this song for example Cobain swaps "Your eyes" for "Your lies".
However, it could be simply babble.
We'll never know.
So lets all shut up and just listen to the music.
"Sifting" Through Kurt's Lyrics | Reviewer: Jason Hizer | 7/18/09
I think the song is referring to how the institutions of education and religion are quick to judge and turn their backs on you, if they know you are different, use drugs, etc. "Don't have nothing for you."
This is especially critical of religion, because, a "preacher" that turns his back on a kid simply because his "eyes are red," is both hypocritical and un-christian like.
ever thought of being a rebel? | Reviewer: Stirpong/Vonblue | 7/18/09
to me this sounds like a bit of a scoff towards the authority figures who ordered him around, from when he went from a "yes master" attitude into a stage of rebellion they wouldn't accept he had free will and shrugged it off as that he was just possessed.
