This is a love song for Tobi Vail.
They were very close friends who became lovers and dated. The two had collaborated during her tenure in The Go Team on another side project called The Bathtub is Real.
Tobi was a Riot Grrl, singer and activist. The song is about how at times he felt like he was being too dependent because she was so independent but if he felt she was aloof or cold it was just him feeling insecure and that he knew he could count on her to defend him, protect him, feed him, and so on. He would do the same for her too. They had a pact meaning it didn't have to be explained but that it was understood how much they loved eachother.

When they broke up, they still remained close friends and supported eachother's musical talents & goals.

Kurt met Courtney Love later on. She reportedly hated Tobi and would say very neagtive things about her to their mutual friends. Lots of inaccurate information was being spread and then one day a fax was sent to a radio station saying that it was Kurt Cobain and that he hated his stalker Toi Vail. The DJ mentioned that he thought it was a joke because of the sloppy writing and strange language. Something like "ew! Sh is so ugly but I can't get her fat ass to stop stalking me." Word spread to Tobi and she announced to her audience becfore a concert that Courtney fakes it but she's beyond good at faking Kurt. Then she said that Courtney was just mad because she had "fu*ked her boyfriend." This caused another huge fight between Kurt and Courtney. She didn't want him to call her about the note or talk to her anymore. He was initially angry that Tobi exploited this information to her fans but later heard about the fake fake Courtney had sent the radio station.

No one really knows what happened after that but it's well known that this song was Kurt's favorite. He didn't like performing it in front of Courtney anymore in effort to avoid another tantrum.

After his death and over the years, many false rumors circulated about the relationship between Vail and Cobain. There is a high probability the information originated from Courtney Love's personal Nirvana biographer & rock journalist Charles Cross. Stories relied, in part, on second-hand information by Courtney Love, rumors, and other misinformation were often times reported or stated as fact.

Vail's friend Jenny Toomey relates, "Tobi refuses to speak publicly and participate in the exploitation of the Cobain myth by hack journalists trying to make a career, record companies trying to sell records, and feeble attempts made by ex-"friends" to mark their place in history.

Despite the urban legends, and misinformation that Love and Cross state as "facts" Nirvana fans and close friends of Kurt go elsewhere to find the truth. People who saw Kurt with Tobi and then later with Courtney have stated that Kurt asked their lawyer Rosemary about changing his will, and about parental rights if they were to divorce. Courtney reportedly was cheating on him and they were always fighting about performances. The intervention she staged was more about Lalapalooza than drug abuse. He was passing on millions to perform which made her furious. She blamed this on drug abuse which it was not. Courtney was an addict who pinned him as her burden which Kurt was annoyed with.

He told her he wanted to work on projects with other people and leave Nirvana. Reportedly she knew he was thinking about moving away with Frances
and divorcing her. Some people think this is why she wanted him to go to rehab so badly. This way she would get custiday because he would be the "unfit junkie" between the two.

Months before his death, Nirvana performed Drain You live on French television. His emotion is so raw. His guitar stops working and he just drops it and screams at after the hook. He told a very close friend later on that he wished he felt as must trust for Courtney as he did at the times when felt insecure with Tobi. It seemed as though he really missed their friendship & was beginning to feel used by his wife.

This is one of the greatest songs they have ever made in my opinion. Not only as an art form but symbolically I see it as a very sweet and messy homage to a friendship that turned into passion. She never came & offered him something toxic like a "poison apple". She had good intentions. They didn't like to admit it as much but they loved eachother and drained eachother. My favorite is- "I like you". Just very sweet and under exaggerated because it's draining.

Tobi still to this day has never spoken about her personal experiences with Kurt or sold anything personal of his that she was given. Unfortunately many other people have so I really respect her for being respectful. I would have loved to see what they were like as a couple.
