Song lyrics
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey! Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice

Awesome song...though I think it is just *slightly* overrated. And I hope everyone who likes this song so much knows what a hymen is

I really like the book "heavier then heaven" you should definetly read it if you are a nirvana fan or if like me you are a kurt cobain fan
by the way, this song is about courtney love.
I learned this from the book

this is the best nirvana song u can get! the true meaning behind the song is easy but it would take ages to write coz i no the lineby line meaning... for example "meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet" kurt cobains fave flower was the orchid coz it reminds him of a vagina. Take the word "vagina" as an insult. So Kurt is calling something or someone a pussy who feeds of others "meat" is used to express dependancy, so this pussy is dependant on others for its own survival...its pretty much a mock lovesong to Courtney Love i h8 that bitch.........
other good songs to download by nirvana are sliver and pennyroyal tea and all apologies and LITHIUM and in bloom and man who sold the world

i love this song...i don care why it was written, i jus love it.

and lay off courtney. i don love or hate her,
but put yourself in her position:
jus try to envision u losin someone that close who kept ur feet on the ground and made you feel worthy of living.
think about all the shit she has now:
she might not get frances back
has battled w/ drugs...might still be..
lost the love of her life

she's fucked up and has no support from anyone, wants ppl to take her seriously but is most likely flashing/stripping/etc cos she's having mental breakdown (even if she hasn't admitted it yet)

she's jus lost and subconciously wants a stable person to get her back on her feet...she's scared cos she has no idea when or if that stable person will ever show up.
