NIRVANA

- Dumb Lyrics

I'm not like them but I can pretend
The sun is gone and I have a light
The day is done and I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb

Maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy

My heart is broke and I have some glue
Help me inhale and mend it with you
We'll float around, hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down

Have a hangover
Have a hangover
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

I'm not like them but I can pretend
The sun is gone and I have a light
The day is done and I'm havin' fun
I think I'm dumb

Maybe just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy
I think I'm just happy

I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb
...

What is the meaning behind Dumb lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, the song 'Dumb' from Nirvana presents the feeling of being an outsider, yet discovering comfort in simple pleasures and instances of joy. The text expresses a self-discovery trip, both imperfect and flaw-accepting, then leading to the obtaining of happiness through life's difficulties, which are metaphorically represented by the light when the sun is gone and using glue to fix a broken heart. The lyrics of Dumb are mainly about joy, angst, heartbreak, reflection, and hope. Surprisingly, the song also points out the need for self-acceptance, the confusions with one's identity, and finding the silver lining in hard times. The lyrics bring forth the themes of emotional struggle along with the references to happiness and sorrow which, in the case of younger children, might need parental guidance. Even though there aren’t any overtly explicit themes, the mentioning of 'hangover' and emotional distress might be reasons strong enough to keep very young children out of the context.
