In Bloom by Nirvana

Nirvana's second song off of their Nevermind Album, In Bloom was written to mock people that don't understand lyrics and meanings to songs yet still blindly sing along. I though this was very interesting, as I must admit I have the tendency to do the same thing at times...

In Bloom Lyrics and Music Video 

In Bloom by Nirvana off of the Nevermind album

In Bloom
by Nirvana

Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

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 don't know what it means
don't know 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 don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say yeeeaaahhh

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

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 don't know what it means
don't know 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 don't know what it means
don't know what it means
and I say yeeeaaahhh

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 don't know what it means
don't know 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 don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
Don't know what it means
Don't know what it means and I say yeeeaaahhh

In Bloom by Nirvana: Political or Entertaining? 

Nirvana wrote In Bloom to take a stab at arena rock. The song is mocking people that sing along to songs they don't know the meaning to. Ironically, In Bloom was often sung along to by many fans of Nirvana at their own concerts..

Do you like the 'sound' of a song or the 'meaning' of a song more?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

I like the way the music sounds, that's how I decide what is good..

Lisey says:

Both + Nirvana kicks arse.

The lyrics of a song are what really drive me to like it after first listen.

shannon says:

i like both i eman the lyrics are a big part of why i like certain songs but the sound is also a big part in some cases

Nirvana 1992 Reading Festival Performance on DVD - Rock3 Rock News ...
There was never any pretence with Nirvana, the titles were as simple as the lyrics, but carried meaning far beyond their simple repetivness. Still Nirvana haven't lessened the pace or spoke and we charge into Sliver, at the end Kurt grunts out 'this song is called Bloom" before they crunch into the song, which carries its hidden message behind a grunge fuelled heaviness, by now the crowd are ecstatic and Cobain thanks them. There is much to much to say about this DVD, ...
Ground Control - Nirvana - [Album]
Other accounts claim that Cobain was still begrudgingly writing songs on the drives to recording sessions as Jack Endino's Reciprocal Recording Studios and that most of the lyrics were just tossed off and meaningless ? not at all a telling ... nor does it possess the textural punch of Steve Albini but songs like ?About A Girl,? Nirvana's treatment of ?Love Buzz? and ?School? do mirror some of the ideas on Nevermind (look at ?Stay Away,? ?Breed? and ?In Bloom?) while the ...

This is pretty much Raditude, and the new album seems to borrow from both sides of Weezer--pre- and post-Green--though its lyrics, as you can see from the above, still find Rivers and company celebrating adolescence with much exuberance. .... You can't recreate what it was, and you can't do it from here...meaning 2009. But somehow, because it had begun back then, I was able to finish it. I'm so tickled with that song, especially because, when it was finished, ...
