[Verse 1]
I will never walk it through
I could never promise you
It's some place I followed you
I will never wander through
This will mean I'll love again
Guess I'll never have a fan

[Verse 2]
This will mean me to me
I could never have a say
It's a never-ending dream
I will always want to flee
If I'm me you'll never know
Everything I ever know

[Chorus]
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
It's another point of view
Look at me when I was you
I could never die again
I won't lose another friend

[Verse 3]
She will see another me
When I'm through it numbs me
Guess I'll know I'll medicate
Guess I'll fall and medicate
It's another opiate
But to me it's everything

[Chorus]
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
Dream
I will never promise you
Dream
Dream

Nirvana was arguably the most successful act of the early 1990s grunge movement that originated in Seattle, Washington. Formed in 1987 in the neighboring city of Aberdeen, they were catapulted into the spotlight four years later with the release of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and their second studio album, September 1991’s Nevermind.

They are credited with bringing alternative rock to mainstream attention and putting a nail in the coffin of ‘80s hair metal, which was dying a slow death on the charts at that point. In early 1992, Nevermind managed to knock Michael Jackson’s Dangerous from the #1 position on the Billboard charts, cementing their place in American music history.

The band’s career was suddenly cut short in April 1994, when iconic frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead from an apparent suicide. Drummer Dave Grohl has since become a hugely successful frontman in his own right with the band Foo Fighters. Nirvana has gone on to enjoy a musical afterlife in the hearts and ears of successive generations of fans comparable to that of The Beatles and Black Sabbath.
