I only posts the meanings I think are worth reading... and so heres what the song is bout, or might be about

Kurt Cobain, Nirvana's frontman and the song's author, claimed that this song was inspired by a television report of children suffering from cancer. However, many believe it was really written about his shaky but passionate relationship with his wife, Courtney Love. The lyrics do tend towards this latter interpretation, since they seem to concern themselves with an unstable romance between two individuals. It's worth noting that the lyrics mention Pisces and Cancer, Cobain's and Love's respective astrological signs. Love, after their second meeting sent a small heart-shaped box, containing, among other things, a doll's head, to his hotel room. This is believed to have inspired the song's title. Cobain and Love both shared a love and fascination of dolls.

Interesting. A friend of mine likes and doesn't like this song. He likes it because it's a good song, but doesn't because it reminds him of his ex... sweatdrop

It is a sad song. I knew that it was obviously a song about cancer, but it is kinda hard to figure out who it was for, if it was for anyone at all.

ive been listening to this song for literally 2 days, off and on, right now its my favorite. the music video is amazing and visually stunning, i cant get over how much of it is implied rather then showed. does anybody have any links to different interpretations and maybe insight as to what the different images mean? maybe a step by step analysis or something along those lines? i think that it would be interesting to read.

their other music videos ive seen are pretty straight forward as far as interpretation (at least from what ive seen and been able to figure out) but this one is the only one i keep watching.
