What does “something in the way” mean in the song something in the wat by Nirvana ?

That's a very difficult question. You would have to go back in time and ask Kurt Cobain to have a definitive answer.

Cobain claimed this song was written when he imagined living homeless under a bridge, so sick he couldn't move.

It seems to me like the line is (intentionally) incomplete. Maybe the full line would be "(there's) something in the way (of me living a normal life)". Otherwise, maybe he could be singing that "(other people see me as) something in the way (of their lives)".

However, these are only guesses--because Cobain intentionally omitted what the "way" is, we won't know for sure.
