I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone, But I have a light The day is done, I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Or maybe just happy
 * Dumb - Nirvana **

Think I'm just happy My heart is broke But I have some glue Help me inhale And mend it with you We'll float around And hang out on clouds Then we'll come down And have a hangover

Have a hangover

Skin the sun Fall asleep Wish away Soul is cheap Lesson learned Wish me luck Soothe the burn Wake me up

I'm not like them But I can pretend The sun is gone, But I have a light The day is done, I'm having fun I think I'm dumb Or Maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy

I think I'm dumb I first came across this song when much earlier in my life when I would ‘borrow’ my brothers CD’s from his room. One of those CD’s just happened to be Nirvana’s nevermind. The song itself is about taking the emotions involved with a breakup away and replacing them with an uncontrollable use of drugs. “I’m not like them, but I can pretend” is a reference to the absence of happiness that Kurt Cobain felt throughout his life, and how he would always hide his depression behind a ‘mask’.
