About this song
"Beeswax" was recorded on January 23, 1988, during a session for Nirvana's first studio demo tape. The lyrics are hard to follow on the available recording, which has led to many differing versions circulating online. A fragment of Kurt Cobain's diary containing the lyrics was later posted online and is considered the closest approximation available today.
What it's about
The lyrics are strange and filled with violent sexual imagery, according to the background above, but the text does not explain a clear story or message.
