Serve the Servants - An autobiographical song about the whole Nirvana experience and a sarcastic response to the emphasis placed on the divorce of Kurt's parents.
Scentless Apprentice - Based on the novel Perfume by Patrick Suskind, about a perfume maker who kills virgins for their scent.
Heart-Shaped Box - Themes of co-dependancy and others.
Rape me - In Kurt's words, the song is a sort of poetic justice. A guy rapes a girl. He ends up in jail and is raped there.
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle - A song about the story of Frances Farmer, who was declared insane and lobotomized.
Dumb - Ignorance is bliss. There is a certain care-free happiness involved in being dumb. Drug related themes are in the song too.
Very Ape - An Attack on the stereotypical jock.
Milk It -
Pennyroyal Tea - A song about making a tough decision and the difficult choices around it and the guilt following it.
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - According to Kurt this song is a throwaway. A bunch of random poetry lines thrown together. The title is a reference to Smells Like Teen Spirit and it's slick, radio-friendly sound.
tourette's - This song has no meaning at all. Kurt just screamed alot. Based on tourettes syndrome, which causes one to shout at any time.
All Apologies - Contrary to popular belief, this song is not about Frances and Courtney. He wrote it for them, but none of the lyrics really apply.
Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip (Import version) -
