Nirvana - Downer Lyrics

Hands down its top 3 songs on bleach if not whole nirvana discography, such a great song and the bass line is so simple but so great

This voice is not Kurt Cobain

Your right. That’s Kurdt Kobain

2020??:)

Downer :V , is a weirdo song , but the sounds are really cool .

Привет из 2019

Anyone here from the Raw Nerve cover of this song? No? Okay

2x speed

Inaudible*

Yesterday a group of kids were going on and on about how Nirvna is so under-rated, and I was like "Seriously"?? I think they suck. They told me I needed to listen to their first album Bleach, and it would change my mind.... Well here i am at track 13,... I sat here and listened to the entire album and I am still waiting for my mind to be "changed" Now it is more clear to me why I never wasted my money on any of their albums. I wouldn't even waste my time or hard drive space downloading this shit for free. Those idiot kids owe me an hour of my life back.

This is so punk🎸

What is a incestiside song doing here?

Kurt and marijuana

Downer on steroids

Politic sucks!

Im pretty sure this song was sped up, if you put it .75 speed it sounds more like other nirvana songs.

It's not, it's just fast.

This song is also from "Fecal Matter" by Kurt Cobain

Bellissima in wav

This song was originally on Fecal Matter “Illiteracy Will Prevail”

This was the first song they ever performed as Nirvana !

For some reason he never played fast and short songs like Downer or Tourette's for more than a little over a year... Downer lasted 1 year and 4 months while Tourette's lasted 11 months and neither made it to their studio album tours. What a shame, maybe Kurt just forgot how to play Downer but it is my favorite Nirvana song.

Grunge, punk rock, post-punk, hard rock, alternative rock, skate punk, noise rock, garage punk, heavy metal, art punk, avant-punk, psychedelic punk

Wow, dave grohl did really good on this album!

That bass tho

The description said it was released on Incesticide after Bleach. That was backwards. It wasn't on bleach until 2009, where it was released on Incesticide in 1992

Every mistake you make is an opportunity to correct you with irrevocable severity.

Fav nirvana's lyrics with serve the servants and heart shaped box, big long now

"Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard"
-Kurt Cobain
I think Kurt Cobain thought that it doesn't matter if someone it's from right or left, they all bastards and liars.

Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your true country
Wish away the pain

Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasies-
Bland and boring pain!

All we know is restitution
Living out your day and future
If there's 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
Making enough of the words for you to follow along
I'll sing a 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 know is restitution
Living out your day and future
If there's hope, please save me faster
Don't feel guilty, master writing
!

Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Making enough of the words
you go along
I'll sing a song.

I haven't listened to this song in abow two years, but I remember there was a video with the lyrics out that made the most sense. This is what I remember from those lyrics.

Do people really hear "Is the whole fleece shun in bastard"?

Nice. This sounds more punk rock then grunge, The latter of which would obviously later catapult them into the stratosphere.

kurt wanted this song to be like punk rock with the lyrics but failed miserably, the fecal matter version is way more punk

fecalmatter27 how’d he fail? this IS punk rock.

Essa vai pro Presidente do meu país

Perfection 👍

This is a punk song

0.75x Speed gives it a semi "In Utero" type of feel

0.25 gives it a demons from hell feel

awesome !probably one of the best song of nirvana this voice is incredible

don't feel guilty masturbating

That bass line is sooo good wtf

It has a little bit of COMUNICATION BREAKDOWN by Zeppelin ... and some of JOY DIVISION ... master of tunes !!

I feel like this was Kurt's attempt at writing a Dead Kennedys-esque song

Definitely. Listen to a couple of Dead Kennedys songs then listen to this and you would think it was the same band.

This song is similar, but all of them? Not in a million years.

This song was first recorded with the band Fecal Matter and it wasn’t on an original LP Bleach but was published on CD edition of the album

THIS IS NOT BLEACH

the prophet

حعسا فاث لاعففخى

Happy birthday kurt!

Great song

Drinking bleach while listening to bleach while also watching bleach

i think i hear him saying DOWNER when the song ends )

I'am the only one who like more this version than the Fecal Matter?

Al though my favourite song is in nevermind (Drain you) this is my favourite album.

when I listen to this song it's the best 1:46 seconds I've heard.
So under rated.

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
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to follow along
I sink and then some
Slippery 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
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to follow along
I sink and then some

Ala Placki I think that he says masturbating instead of master writing and sing a song at the very end

Congratulations you fucked it up. How? It's Nirvana.
How are people upvoting this lol.

@Agustín Lichtenstein no he says master writing

Ala Placki
Sickening not slippery

I think this song is about people that keep saying the world is going to end from this and that. I think Kurt was trying to say people have been saying it for ever and we are still here on earth.And people say it to put fear in others because there mentally f’ed in the head.This is only what I think it’s about basing of lyrics and facts about him and reality.

Sonaba re diferente eb Fecal Matter

wooooooooooooo

THIS IS RAP?

No. This is grunge

but he rapping)

" apocalyptic bastards"

been "captured" by this band since january 2012 and here is my advice to new/young fans; Dont go all out on the songs and remember to listen to other maybe happy songs. Its very dark music and you dont want to much of that as a teen.

The bass guitar and bass drum compliment each other perfectly here.

This song needs to be longer :( !

I'll probably be killed for commenting this



The final words of Kurt Cobain

No scope

Duqckscpr # such a 12 year old

conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
...
somebody said that they're not much like I am

This actually was on incestide not bleach

Yes K its on bleach i checked

Yes K
It's in "Bleach" and in Incesticide too.

its also on the fecal matter tape kurt made

it's on both

I replay this song ∞ times everyday

This is kurt's cover of Eminems frowner

Commit a Kurt Cobain

I like this song.very bad brainish.

this by far their most "punk rock" song.

Tyler Cooper nah I think pen cap chew is a little bit more

Tyler Cooper "Punk Rocker" - Fecal Matter

Listen to anything on insecticide

my favorite album BLEACH!!!

Gabriel D. Every one of there albums are awsome!!!!!

your favourite character? ICHIGO

@Giorgos Vl lol

i always picture severus snape singing the versus

Severus Snape from Harry Potter?

Ahaha that is in my head now forever

...i read this comment while kurt was singing "Don't feel guily masturbating"

to all the comments about this song being too short, Kurt's first band with Dale Crover called Fecal Matter did this song first and its 2 minutes longer and slower paced and is MILES better IMO

I LOVE PUNK!!!!!!

these idiot is nirvana grunge

+TONY COBAIN theese idiots, the Grunch is a sub-genere of the Punk

+TONY COBAIN is punk too , fucking piece of shit

This song is a lot more Punk Rock then Grunge.

@Naked Teenagers false. The word "grunge" was used as a corporate label by the 90s media.

One of my favourites.

Why wouldn't it be, this song's a badass. The bass though.

Emily H it's so much better without the superfuzz pedal on the very original track before nirvana even existed

1:38 okay call me crazy, but did Kurt just say 'chocolate'? I probably have hearing problems lmao

@Fecal Matter is Sludge Punk another fecal matter junkie

He says “Downer”

its such like a ska song

HOOOOW!?!?!

Yes, it's just like a ska song, except for the fact that it is absolutely nothing like a ska song whatsoever.

seriously ?

fuck i was owned hard

i think i meant skate punk but okay

idk what but something about this song just puts a smile on my face.

I've been obsessed with Kurt and nirvana for like 3 years and my parents think i have a problem😂😬

I'm obsessed with Kurt and Nirvana for almost 30 years and my parents used to gift me something in relation with it every Christmas and for each of my birthdays. ^^

Me since the early 90s..Nothing sexual.. but i idolized him in a way back then, which is exactly what he did not want people..fans..anyone to do...But i still idolize his music to this day..

Given his history, I’d also be concerned if I was your parent.

Same here mate 😂

Bri Bruno Same here exactly.

Such an under rated song

hey so I hate to be "that guy", but I made an album and I put a lot of effort into it (I rarely put effort into anything). so you should all check it out. Its called "pluviophiliac". I know its horrible but watch it anyways c: thanks

Tip: be a little more confident when you're advertising your art. :)

@Rail Martinez lol thanks xD but I'm just not a confident person

Thank You, dear God, for put them on this Earth ;)

YES!,I love nirvana REAL music,with REAL EMOTION!,un like this pussy shit now

this reeks of try hard troll

+Liquid Awesomeness not trolling,just speaking the truth,today's music sucks

@Caricamillediansanks the truth spoken by literally millions of middle schoolers long before me or you

+Liquid Awesomeness ok,whatever

yeah shit like the new bell witch album and stuff from mgla are totally emotionless,you are right

+Oliver Lundberg I Think Those Lyrics Are Wrong That's Why I Put My Version Up, Is The Whole Fleece Shun In Master It Just Doesn't Make Sence To Me

don't forget to masturbate, yeh!

Its master writher not masturbating

+Koen Jacht writing

+Koen Jacht you both are wrong. It's "don't feel guilty masturbating"

apocalyptic bastard!

I can't even say the lyrics out loud as fast as Kurt did

ive done em massively fat to the max ive done em supermodel, but one thing i know they all made me pay - old right wing man (bad joke)

+Kurt Kurdt it means SARCASM

+Kurt Kurdt like most PUNK in general, the goal is comedy and horror and controversial sex as job?

+Kurt Kurdt probably

soundtrack of my schoolyears

NEstasaurus was here

Kurt cobain is fucking rapping

when did he say this?

Umm... shit. Can't remember, but I remember scrolling through his quotes online and remember reading that one

Keegan Van Patten I don't think so... We need proof

GRUNGER 43 its in his journals... just look thru it online if you don't own the book... he did say it

one of my favorite nirvana songs.also probably the'yre most underrated song in their whole discography.

yeah probably so.and i don't know why it's a really good song.

my fav song is sappy too fucking deep

John Lydon
The most underrated songs in Nirvana are:
This song, Scentless Apprentice, Milk It, RFUS, Tourette's, Swap Meet, Sifting, Sappy, and I Hate Myself and Want to Die.

My favorite Nirvana (Fecal Matter) songs:Big Cheese,Downer,Aero Zepplin,Dive,On A Plain,Endless Nameless,Sound Of Dentage,Spank Thru,Blew,Floyd,Beans,Opinion,Blandest,etc.

Hi John I play roblox

sounds cool 0.5 speed, theres a slower mix somewhere of this version (not the fecal matter one)

So fucking hot

dud te prsdint allow u to smoke that

I wish this song was looooooonger.

listen to the fecal matter version of downer 3 mins long.

Eddie Mush hell yeah , its much too short for such a masterpiece.

0.75 speed

nije lose, ali moze bolje to...

ma ovo je vrh, najjaca sada

prelazna ocena ali ima i kvalitetnijih nota...

your awesome. mate now go fuckyourself. its how kurt wants it! dont feel guilty master writing (baiting>)

lulz. its bad ass. you said that. i dont rip your line,

Am I the only one who thinks this sound like Crossover Thrash?

More like punk rock. But yeah :)

face palm. have you by any chance heard that music is called different things, yet art is how you interpret it kinda..? ya know motor nueron shit that artists use when they see things by multiple peoples eyes??? jsut asking, i love nirvana and tool. both spectrums everything to me is between.

Speed 1,25 =  so fucking rock!!!

@JamesBondBLHK100 There's noticeable vocal distortion in the pre-chorus, chorus and second verse. Chipmunk is hyperbolic, but that distortion is real. It's like playing a record on the wrong RPM. We all know what happens. This is like playing a 33.33 RPM record at 45. The change isn't HUGE, but if you actually listen, you notice it.


Not trying to be a dick, but I can hear it and it makes the song worse for me. I like the song they actually made more than something that kind of sounds like speedmetal with off vocals.

@Augrills Yeah, that I can understand, really.

+Cactus Juice why are u here i mean thats kinda of racist and u know how kurt was against it, just leave! in my personal opinion i hate people like u

+JamesBondBLHK100 Maybe in some sort of sense, but not all metal is fast paced.

@Ko19rn1021 - True. You're right about that. There's Alice In Chains. XD

This is the best song off of Bleach.

Andy Peeples i like school the best

paper cuts is best

I think my favourites from bleach are paper cuts and lovebuzz!

Andy Peeples
Negative Creep!

Isn’t this originally off Incesticide?
