Nirvana "Dumb"
In Utero 1993
Made by Brayden Hayes
According to Cobain, "Dumb" was inspired by the envy he feels for unintelligent and "easily amused" people, who are seemingly able to move through life without ever feeling sad or depressed. "I've met a lot of dumb people," Cobain said in an interview with Melody Maker in 1993, "they have a shitty job, they may be totally lonely...and yet, for some reason, they're happy."
In a 1993 Chicago Sun-Times interview, Cobain offered a strange alternate meaning of the song. "Actually, that was a song about a concussion," he said. "It was just one of those 4-track demo things late at night," he revealed. This was offered in response to Jim DeRogatis's idea that Dumb was about drug addiction
LYRICS
I'm not like them
but I can pretend
the sun is gone
but I have a light
the day is done
but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
think I'm just happy
my heart is broke
but I have some glue
help me heal
and mend it with you
we float around
and hang out on clouds
then we'll come down
and have a hangover
have a hangover
skin the sun,fall asleep
wish away, soul is cheap
lesson learned, wish me luck
soothe the burn, wake me up
(repeat verse 1)
