Define Heart Shaped Box Meaning

Song performed by Nirvana. Written by Kurt Cobain to express how he loved Courtney Love but felt suppressed by her.

A great Nirvana song

The song's name came from a heart-shaped box Love had given Cobain. However, Cobain had originally titled the song "Heart-Shaped Coffin"

The freakiest video Nivana ever made. Much better when you don't have to see a little girl in a ku klux klan running around and a guy in a santa hat being crucified. Was originally Heart shaped coffin.

Song writen by Kurt Cobain of the grunge band Nirvana.

Song Meaning- Love, romance, marriage, heroin addictions, and artistic mockery and titled after a gift Kurt Cobain received from Courtney Love.

a uterus often referred as the origin of the "heart" symbol.
Nirvana wrote a song about it while his wife was pregnant with his child.

..If you look at a photo of a uterus and draw a semi-circle at the beginning of the fallopian tubes and a "V" near the cervex it makes a "heart"

The song by Nirvana was through the eyes of an aborted fetus-- Or, at least, that is one of the interpretations. The Heart-Shaped Box in this case could be a name for the uterus.

Courtney Love gave Kurt Cobain an actual box shaped like a heart, containing love letters, the head of a baby doll and other things symbolic in their relationship. Therefore, the title of the song has a double-meaning.

A beautifully shaped butt. The origins of the Valentine Heart was the upsidedown curvature of a woman's hind end. It is heart shaped and used for storage during foreplay and intercourse.

Slang for vagina, usualy a smelly one.

In the manga Princess Ai, co-created by Misaho Kujiradou, D.J. Milky & Courtney Love, the main character is Princess Ai (hence the manga name).
In the story Princess Ai half human/half angel from the land called "Ai-Land" (seriously) who arrives at Earth with completly no memorie of who she is but her name, she has a talent for singing and loves being on stage this character is modeled after Courtney Love. This explains why she has a 'trinket' heart-shaped-box holding locket with the picture of the two people she loves most. The amusing part is the picture turns out to be a character named 'Kent' who she pretty much instantly fell in love with when arriving on earth.. (if you havn't figured it out yet Kent = Kurt)
Part of this story is about their love, or more like Courtney and Kurt's love. The Heart-Shaped-Box is the symbol between them because of the song written by Kurt Cobain to her. It is sweet and cute how she weasled that into the story, a love drama fantasy and a must read for anyone who likes these genres!
