American Songwriter released a Top 3 list of classic rock songs from the '90s whose lyrics have a bigger meaning and have become essential to the story it wants to tell. One to take note of is Hole's "Doll Parts," which was released in 1994 as part of their Live Through This album.
"Doll Parts" was also the first single by Hole to be released following the death of bassist Kristen Pfaff. The track's overall lyrics are in reference to Love's beginning relationship with Nirvana frontman and rock icon Kurt Cobain. Love previously commented that she thought Conain "didn't like her", with the lyrics interpreting feelings of love, rejection, and unrequited romance. The song was written before their official relationship and later marriage.
The lyrics involving a "heart-shaped box" were in reference to a real encounter she had with Cobain in 1991. She sent him a box she purchased at an antique store as a form of apology for how they first met, where she wrestled him. It's reported that the Cobain-penned Nirvana song, "Heart-Shaped Box," was influenced by it. "Doll Parts" took on a different meaning following his death in April 1994.
The list also includes Counting Crows' track "A Long December," which was released from their 1996 album The Satellites. Lead singer Adam Duritz was inspired to write the track after a close friend was hit by a motorist, with the track even named the band's greatest song by American Songwriter.
Alice in Chains' "Would?" from their 1992 Dirt album also ranks on the list. The band, along with many others, released tribute tracks following th death of Seattle rocker Andrew Wood, who died of a drug overdose.
