There's a very popular song '' Teen spirit", the melody is super, but I try to find any sense in the lyrics.
Sick powerful and talented drug fellow telling the truth, something like this.
Somewhen when I wast young - just felt what he feels but I didn't understand what he sang about.

Hehe... this is a cool song . But, you know, I remember once I heard Kurt Cobain talking about the meaning of his songs and he said how he didn't like when people tried to find some great , meaningful and deep way to interpret what they are listening (at least Nirvana's creations). He told to his fans that he preferred the whole world focusing on the music and that lyrics come next =s ... because half of the time, words were non-sense or random stuff that fit the music they were playing. Which makes sense for me because I had a few AAAAAAAARRGGHHH headaches trying to figure out what the *** was behind some of their masterpieces. ^^

My clue is that the writer did a good job in hiding the meaning, just because he
felt that way. Suppose you are talking about a travel you recently made by train, just telling us the following:
a) the name of the city you were going to.
b) the name of a lady you met and some words about her life
c) the color of a house you saw from the train
d) something from an advertisement you read walking in that city you visited
With those elements alone, we won't be able to infer that you are talking about a travel you made.
In my opinion it is a kind of a game and the rule seems like: enjoy the song if you like, don't play the game of discovering the meaning, as it is not a fair game (in this case);
nevertheless, the song is still 'fair', for whatever this could mean.

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low? [3x]
Hello, hello, hello!
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito

The lyrics don't make sense. Kurt (the singer) admitted that his songs don't make sense. It is just a bunch of phrases put together. Sometimes he isn't using real words. None of Nirvana's songs make sense.

Nirvana's song.
Albinos, libidos - what are your clues and maybe you know what this song is about)?
