Nirvana's "Polly"

Haven't listened to "Nevermind" in years but dug it up while cleaning my room.. Never realized how freaking scary the song "Polly" was until now.. Sheesh, perhaps the most subtley deranged song I've heard in a long time..

Polly wants a cracker I think i should get off her first
 
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
Got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
I got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself

Polly says her back hurts
She's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
To please myself
I got some rope
You have been told
Promise you
Have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't cut yourself
I want some help
To please myself
 
If I'm not mistaken Kurt wrote it about a girl that was kidnapped after a punk show and was tortured (raped? don't know exactly) by some guy. She eventually escaped and ran out of his car when he stopped for gas one time.

I haven't read the Nirvana book I have in a while (excellent read, it's called "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana") but this is pretty close.

One of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar, the chords and strumming are really easy! 🙂

What's the meaning of that song?

I forget most of the lyrics

It's about a girl that was kidnapped, raped, and tortured with a blow torch.. The freakiest thing about it is that it's written from the perspective of the raper.. Spooky as hell and very well written..
