Any one know the meaning of the song Polly by Nirvana?
Just wondering. here are the lyrics:
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
want some help
Please myself
I've got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like some food
Ask me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Isn't me
Have a seed
Let me clip
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
want some help
Please myself
I've got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself
Polly said
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
Dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself
I've got some rope
Have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Cut yourself
Want some help
Please myself

From wikipedia:
According to Michael Azerrad's 1993 Nirvana biography Come as You Are, "Polly" is based on the true story of a female rape victim from Tacoma, Washington. The girl, 14, was abducted in 1987 while returning from a punk rock show, and was raped and tortured with razors and a blowtorch by her abductor. Cobain's only narrative flourish is that the victim manages to escape by flirting with her captor, convincing him to trust her. This allows her to escape while he stops for gas.[1]
In the liner notes to Nirvana's 1992 compilation Incesticide, Cobain expressed disdain for an incident which occurred after the song's release on Nevermind. "Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song 'Polly,'" he wrote. "I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience."

It's about a 14 year old girl that got kidnapped and raped by a man by the name of Gerald friend. She was also tortured with a blowtorch and a knife and escaped one day when he drove to a gas station with her and she ran. They never released her name to the public.

It was originally titled, Hitchhiker, and I'm pretty sure it's about someone being kidnapped and raped.
