She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can
Climb right back
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait

Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can
Climb right back

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.

It's a box that has the shape of a heart, nothing more. But if you talk about the Nirvana song it's a song dedicated to Kurt Cobain's wife, Courtney Love.

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!

Princess Ai: Nora...?
Kent!
(I want to be with you, Kent.
I want to be with..)
Being around me is very dangerous.
Kent, let me go..
*blink*
What a horrible dream
*necklace hits ground that came out the Heart-Shaped-Box*
Hey, this pendant opens up...
My father... Nora...
(The two men in my life
After that parting moment with Nora--
I vowed to never again let go of the one i loved.
To me, our love was worth facing any danger together.)
How could I forget?
(But Kent...
...He bought this book to me.
I wish I could see him to ask him why...
...But I'm not strong enough to protect Kent.)
The picture...
...It changed to Kent?!
Why'd it changed? What does it mean?!
