Breed Lyrics
[Verse: Kurt Cobain]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, care if it's old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, away, away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, afraid, ghost
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
[Post-Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said
[Verse: Kurt Cobain]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, care, care if it's old
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind
Get away, get away, get away
Get away, away, away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid, afraid, ghost
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
[Post-Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
Hey!
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We could plant a house, we could build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
[Outro: Kurt Cobain]
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said (She said), she said (She said)
She said, said good
Breed Lyrics Meaning
"Breed" by Nirvana, performed by Kurt Cobain, explores themes of apathy, detachment, and a rejection of societal expectations. The lyrics convey a sense of not caring about conventional norms and a desire to break free from expectations. The repetitive nature of the verses emphasizes a disregard for societal constructs, while the chorus and post-chorus touch on relationships, procreation, and the possibility of creating a non-traditional life. The overall tone of the song reflects a rebellious and nonchalant attitude.
[Verse]
The opening verse expresses a strong sense of indifference and rebellion. The repetition of "I don't care" underscores the speaker's apathy towards societal norms and expectations. The phrase "I don't mind, mind, don't have a mind" suggests a detachment from conforming to established thought patterns. The mention of being afraid and a ghost might allude to a feeling of being haunted or burdened by societal pressures.
[Chorus]
The chorus introduces themes related to relationships and procreation. The speaker seems uninterested in conforming to the societal expectation of having a family ("Even if you have, even if you need"). The lines "I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed" suggest a rejection of the conventional path of settling down and having children. Instead, the speaker proposes alternative possibilities, such as planting a house, building a tree, or having all three, indicating a desire for unconventional and creative choices in life.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus consists of repetitions of the phrase "She said," creating a sense of dialogue or interaction. The repetition may symbolize the persistence of societal expectations or the speaker's internal conflict with external pressures. The tone is somewhat cryptic, leaving room for interpretation regarding the nature of the conversation or the source of the expectations.
[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the themes introduced earlier, emphasizing the speaker's disinterest in adhering to societal norms regarding relationships and family. The defiant tone is reinforced with the exclamation "Hey!" The repetition of the chorus serves to emphasize the song's central message of rejecting societal expectations and choosing an unconventional path.
[Outro]
The outro repeats the "She said" phrases, maintaining the mysterious and open-ended nature of the song. The final lines, "She said, said good," might suggest a resolution or conclusion to the conversation, but the ambiguity allows for multiple interpretations. The overall structure of the song, with its repetition and defiance, contributes to a sense of nonconformity and rebellion against societal norms.
