Preface:  an attempt at fusing very modern references into something timeless. 

only yesterday I turned to my left and said:

"it feels like only yesterday I turned to a friend"

and said:  "life is soft fur and sharp claws"

and then added:  "dont expect it to end"

but dont you mind, our life spans short

your mother says the second coming will end our hurt

I told you later, when we where alone:

"there is only one coming, and here we moan"

New Complaint, New Complaint, New Complaint, but hey, wait

you may kiss me now

and miss me later

but dont you mind

our life spans short

a game of date'r mate'r

the jaded become jade'r

the faded become fade'r

will you teach this to your children

or will you just lie

and let them wonder why

life is cruel to them

reasons will fall on ears

why it is your fault

or theirs

if there is glory in life

then there is glory in death

if there is no strife

then bliss has no depth

a letter to the living

cast into the future

the soil turns

over and over

and over and

over and over

[over and over we die right after the other, right after the other] (last line by Robert Smith... to be sung in english accent)

and yes, the Cobain reference, thats what happens when puberty peaks in the early 90's
