In Bloom Lyrics – Nirvana
In Bloom Lyrics
[Verse 1: Kurt Cobain]
Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
[Verse 2: Kurt Cobain]
We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
[Chorus: Kurt Cobain]
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say
He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he
Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
In Bloom Lyrics Meaning
"In Bloom" by Nirvana explores themes of misunderstanding, societal expectations, and the commodification of art and culture. The song delves into the contrast between surface-level appreciation and a deeper understanding of the true meaning behind artistic expression. The lyrics suggest a disconnect between the audience and the artist, portraying a character who enjoys the outward appearance of the music without grasping its underlying message.
[Verse 1]
The opening verse, with lines like "Sell the kids for food" and "Reproductive glands," hints at the idea of selling out or commercializing one's artistic creations. The reference to reproductive glands may symbolize the natural, raw creativity of the artist being exploited for profit. The mention of weather changing moods and spring returning could reflect the cyclical nature of trends in the music industry.
[Chorus]
The chorus introduces a character who appreciates the band's "pretty songs" but lacks a true understanding of their meaning. The repetition of "He's the one who likes all our pretty songs" emphasizes the superficial appreciation, while the lines "Likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he / Knows not what it means" suggest a disconnect between the listener's actions and a deeper comprehension of the music's significance.
[Verse 2]
The second verse continues the theme of selling out and the degradation of artistic integrity. The line "Nature is a whore" implies the exploitation of authenticity for commercial gain. "Bruises on the fruit / Tender age in bloom" might convey the vulnerability of genuine artistic expression being tarnished or damaged by external influences.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, underscoring the central theme of the listener's ignorance about the true essence of the music. The lines "Knows not what it means" reinforce the idea that the listener enjoys the surface-level aesthetics without grasping the deeper, possibly subversive, messages embedded in the songs.
[Chorus]
The final repetition of the chorus maintains the focus on the listener's lack of understanding. The repeated lines, combined with the closing "and I say, 'Yeah,'" suggest a frustration or resignation on the part of the artist, acknowledging that despite their efforts, some listeners will continue to miss the intended message of the music.
