blah blah blah... yes he was kicked out of his mom's house because he didn't get a job... yes he spent a lot of time under that bridge but did not sleep there more than a cuople of times, he almost always had friend's houses to sleep at... etc..

but my friends and I took a road trip to Aberdeen, and to the Young Street bridge last summer... Since it was warm, we slept under it for a couple nights.. and it's muddy near the water,, and the tides go up and down fast... It's really hard to sleep there because cars are kinda loud when they go over it.. and people come to smoke weed all the time (which was fun) and though noone came to shoot up heroin,, there were a couple syringes there.. we cleaned up a big space of spraypaint with the concrete gray paint, and put our names and some of the lurics (my friend's a sweet artist so he painted kurt's face,, it looks awesome) but all the spraypaint basically said R.I.P. Kurt, and had messages to kurt, etc... The part we cleared was an illegible portion..

t sum it up,, if you go there DO NOT speak of Kurt if your not under that bridge... because they'll know immediately you don't belong there... The people you meet at that bridge (and the cops because they come there sometimes) are the ONLY people you should speak to at all..

we made some home movies while under that bridge,, though the camera is sometimes messed up because we were high... I'd post them but they show (and incriminate) a lot of kids who live in aberdeen who come there to get high...

good times

I think that the line underneath the bridge is symbolic because usually bridges represent a connection between two things and he feels like he's not apart of connecting he's beneath it. When he said 'its ok to eat fish because they don't have any feelings' its ironic because Curt Cobain was a picses and they are the most sensitive sign. I think he's trying to make himself insignificant to the world he's below the world where all the little animals are. I Love this song Curt Cobain was a genius.

Doogle I read that the only thing that was keeping him alive was the heroin, which ironically kills you, due to kurts intense stomach pains the heroin was taking the pain away, I also read and think that the song was written on the basis of when he was forced to move out his house, Where there was a bridge he "allegedly" stayed under for a while, but critics have said that there was no way he could have stayed under the bridge due to the tide coming in and out and the immensely muddy conditions the name of the river is called the Wishkah River, its on all on wiki if you wish to look at it for yourself :)

I'm from Kurt's hometown and a huge fan. He spent some time under the young street bridge in Aberdeen Washington, skipping school and what not. He did not live under the bridge, but spent a lot of time under there it is actually a great view and a great place to write music!

You can check it out on Youtube look up Aberdeen Washington, it's one of the first ones.

I watched a documentary and it said that Kurt never actually lived under a bridge so I dunno.. He probably just made it up but it has very good lyrics. :)

If any of you guys have seen, Classic Albums: Nevermind, you would know that Butch Vig (I think it was), said this song was about being alienated, the feeling every teenager experiences at least once.
