Although this isn’t the first time Cobain has posted a video of herself performing, this one in particular sparked interest in many of her followers thanks to its cryptic background.

Some outlets, including Spin, ET Canada and Uproxx speculated that the untitled song was written about her father given the gloomy nature of its lyrics.

Kurt Cobain died by suicide in 1994. His daughter was only 18 months old when he died.

“I know you weren’t meant to stay in this place,” she sang. “Sometimes I find it hard to look at my own face / Maybe one day I will talk to you / If I’m lucky it won’t be too soon.”

“They say I’m soft and resemble an angel,” she continued in the tune. “What happens to angels when they die?”
