I'll worship animals in the night, I'll lay violent hands on the holiest icons, I'll clutch at all lies, I'll grow bestial in my dreams and will allow myself to be slaughtered like a beast.

About This Quote

In this quote, Kurt Cobain describes his life as a musician and fan of heavy metal music. He says he will worship animals in the night and that he will lay violent hands on the holiest icons. He also says that he will clutch at all lies and that he will allow himself to be slaughtered like a beast. This last part is a reference to the first two lines of a song by Black Sabbath called “War Pigs.” In fact, Kurt Cobain has been cited as being an avid fan of heavy metal music because of the references to heavy metal bands in both his lyrics as well as his music videos.
