When asked to comment on how he writes songs, Cobain responded, “When I write a song the lyrics are the least important subject.” Drummer Dave Grohl has said that he doesn’t think Nirvana’s songs have any real message, “Just seeing Kurt write the lyrics to a song five minutes before he first sings them, you just kind of find it a little bit hard to believe that the song has…
