Mudhoney song meanings



These are my interpretations of the meanings of some Mudhoney songs. These are in no way official. I must stress that these are purely my opinions. If you disagree, or if you think you have a better explanation for any song, let me know.



Tomorrow Hit Today



1. A thousand forms of mind

Mood swings, insecurity, isolation. Possible drug references


2. I have to laugh

This song appears to be about getting so pissed off with everything that you just have to laugh.


3. Oblivion

Never-ending depression, boredom and disillusionment.


4. Try to be kind

I think this song is about going insane. Also possibly about talking down to people who you consider different or crazy


5. Poisoned water

I'm working on this one


6. Real Low Vibe

Depression and boredom


7. This is the life

Dissillusionment with life.


8. Night of the hunted

Standing up to authority (possibly). Feelings of fear and maybe paranoia.


9. Move with the wind

This is supposed to be Mudhoney's attempt at a love song, of sorts. Personally I'm not sure.


10. Ghost

Cover of a song by Cheater Slicks.


11. I will fight no more forever

This song is instrumental only.


12. Beneath the valley of the underdog

Typically of this album, it appears to be another song about disillusionment, depression, etc.
