Downer Lyrics

Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your true country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies, to save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland boring plain

All we have is restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is there hope? Please show me faster
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough up the words as you go along
And sing your song

Sickening pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst

All we have is restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is there hope? Please show me faster
Don't feel guilty, master writing

Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough up the words as you go along
And sing your song

What is the Meaning of Downer?

Welcome to the wonderfully twisted world of Nirvana, where "Downer" serves up a steaming hot plate of societal skepticism with a side of sarcasm. In this gritty track, Kurt Cobain throws shade at the facade of loyalty and sincerity that politicians and authority figures often parade. The song dives into the absurdity of blindly following these so-called leaders who hand out metaphorical lobotomies—yikes, talk about mind control gone wild! 🤯 With its punk rock pulse, "Downer" is less about finding solutions and more about screaming into the void about the bizarre state of affairs. So crank it up, sing along, and maybe—just maybe—question everything just a little bit more.
