All Apologies Lyrics

What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the RIGHT
What else should I be
All apologies

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the...

    It's about how he got Courtney Love hooked on drugs.

    easily amused--when high

    my nest of salt--its his drug she found

    his fault--it was his fault she is hooked

    take the blame--he knows she first did it with him

    aqua seafoam shame--describeing his guilt--he is blue

    sunburn with freezer burn--when she is high his guilt makes him feel bad, he becomes...
    "freezer burned"--ashamed--blue/cold

    ashes of her enemy--proof he knows drugs do her harm

    all in all is all we are--they are both stars who are hooked on drugs....

    He actually explains his guilt in the first verse...but that is done vaguely

    I believe this song is truly about Courtney because he keeps mentioning about being married and I honeslty belive there is a message in this. I think he is saying how he doesn't really like the married life but he is guilty of it because he was the one that proposed. He wishes he could be anyone else right now. I believe he wrote this when Courtney gave him a hard time on drugs and going to rehab.

    This song, to me, always seemed to be about Kurt's feeling of guilt for giving his beloved daughter, Francis, a life in the spotlight, weather she wants it or not.

    It is about Courtney and Frances.
