| I am in love with this song. At first i didn't like Celebrity Skin but it really grew on me and now it hasn't come out of my cd player for weeks. I completely agree with Diskettes, Courtney is such an underrated artist who deserves credit for all of the amazing work that she does. | |

| actually, Love is credited with writing all lyrics in the CD booklet. Corgan did write alot of the music though. another reason why Celebrity skin is such an amazing CD. | |

| This song is about an experience in rehab that court had, In Malibu there are several rehab centers the stars go to, the song is about fighting addiction all of the questions are ones that people ask "How'd you get so desperate?" and the others are for motivation "Get well soon . . . " "And I knew love would tear you apart . . . " Is someone talking down to another person. Crash and Burn is clearly a line about drugs. And for the record every Hole song is not about Kurt and Courtney is a very good song writer this song screams desperation, you can hear it in her voice when she sings. COURTNEY LOVE ROCKS | |

| I think this song is a sort of tribute to Kurt, mourning his loss. When she says "How'd you get so desperate? How'd you stay alive? Help me please, burn the sorrow from your eyes" it sounds to me like she is asking him why he had to kill himself and it reminds me of Kurt's big baby blues. The line "how are you so burnt when you're barely on fire?" I believe is a reference to Kurt's suicide note ("It's better to burn out than to fade away") and I think she is saying there how is he "burnt out" when he has no enthusiasm for life anymore? Allusions to Kurt, I find, are consistent throughout the song as she talks about angels and the sun going down. Maybe Malibu is standing as a metaphor for heaven, an escape. I think when she says "And I knew love would tear you apart. Oh, and I knew the darkest secret of your heart. Hey, hey I'm gonna follow you...I can't be near you, the light just radiates" she is expressing her attempt to restrain herself from following his path. RIP Kurt!! Props to Courtney for this album. | |
