Nirvana - Big Long Now Lyrics

Nirvana Lyrics

"Big Long Now"

It's not cold enough
Please put this end up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?

I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speaking a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind
Waiting in line

It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?

I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?

Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I hear?
Color blind
Speaking a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind

Why am I sure?

Writer(s): Kurt Cobain

This song was recorded during the "Bleach" recording sessions from December of 1988 to January of 1989 but was unreleased until "Incesticide" compilation in 1992.

According to Chad Channing, Kurt Cobain didn't know what this song was about. Channing explained, "He goes, 'Well, I don't really have a title for it,' and so I just off the top of my head, 'big... long... now?' [...] Because it was slow, heavy, and something that we were doing now."

compilation: "Incesticide" (1992)
