The story behind the song

"Drain You" is a love song, or at least a song about love, depicting two people reduced to a state of perfect innocence by their connection, like two brat kids sharing a hospital bed. The lyrics also carry a deeper layer, acknowledging the power one person can hold over another while simultaneously indicting it. Written by Kurt Cobain, it was one of his favorite songs he'd penned, appearing on Nirvana's second album, Nevermind. It's a song that captures the raw, sometimes consuming, nature of deep emotional ties.
