Very Ape
Nirvana · In Utero
I'm buried up to my neck in
Contradictorary flies
I'll take pride as the king of literature
I'm very ape
And very nice
If you ever need anything
Please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm to busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all
I was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
If you ever need anything
Please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm to busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all
I was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the ground
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
Contradictorary flies
I'll take pride as the king of literature
I'm very ape
And very nice
If you ever need anything
Please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm to busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all
I was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
If you ever need anything
Please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm to busy acting like I'm not naive
I've seen it all
I was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the ground
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
Very Ape
Released on Nirvana's 1993 album In Utero, 'Very Ape' stands as a defining track of the grunge movement, characterized by its raw, distorted guitar work and Kurt Cobain's distinctive vocal delivery. The song exemplifies the band's shift toward a more abrasive and organic sound compared to their earlier work, featuring a driving rhythm section that underscores themes of primal instinct and societal pressure. As a staple of the Seattle sound, it remains a powerful representation of the era's musical intensity and emotional vulnerability, cementing Nirvana's legacy in alternative rock history.
