Nirvana - Lounge Act
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd Like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off, taking turns
Don't regret a thing

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
'til it's gone

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
Like to but it couldn't work
Trading off, taking turns
Don't regret a thing

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
And ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still

Smell her on you
They still, Smell her on you
Smell her on you


Of the 4 sisters I chose minerva because i thought she fits really well into this song. I believe she is the most interesting sister because she is the most rebellious against trujillo, and she knows she could be killed for it. Whats struck me about her is when she gave the friendship button to Sinita, a girl that was a total stranger to her at the time, but they became good friends later. "Truth covered in security, I can't let you smother me" - this relates to Minerva's views about Trujillo. He's trying to cover up the truths but Minerva can see through it and will fight for her beliefs. "And I've got this friend, you see, Who makes me feel and I wanted more than I could steal" - this could be talking about Minerva and Sinitas relationship. Sinita tells her about Trujillo's secret and this is the start of Minerva's rebellious attitude. Also Minerva wants the truth and for everyone to know it, but thats something she cannot steal. "They'll go out of their way" - Trujillo will go out of his way to kill people that know of his deeds. "I'll go outta my way to prove I still Smell her on you" - this could be Minerva saying that she will stop trujillo, that she smells lies ('her') on him, if looked in a very figurative way. I chose Nirvana as the artist because Kurt Cobain has written a lot of songs with very deep thinking lyrics.
