El autoestima de Kurt Cobain

Para muchos, cuando Nirvana compuso Smells like teen spirit copió a Boston. Tanto lo dijeron que los mismos Nirvana tocaron More than a feeling burlándose (solían tomarse todo en joda). Tengo una teoría (sí, otra) y es que cuando Offspring compuso Self Esteem estaban hablando de Nirvana. 

Me baso en la canción, el riff de guitarra tiene la única diferencia de que el de Offspring tiene un tempo más lento. ¿Y la letra? Bueno, la letra no habla de un chico que es sistemáticamente basureado por una mina, esa letra habla de la relación entre Cobain y la industria: 

"The more you suffer / The more it shows you really care, right, yeah, yeah"

Self Esteem

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used
That's okay because I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah

We make plans to go out at night
I wait till two then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah

When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care, right, yeah, yeah

Now I'll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well, I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah
