Read the lyrics and moreso, listen to how Kurt sings the lyrics. It's sort of an anti-religious version of the old Christian song named "I'll be a sunbeam" in which one of the chorus lines says "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam". Obviously Kurt didn't write the song, but the fact that this is the first cover he chose to play on this record should tell you something about the statement he was making. The song implies that if there is a God then He doesn't want the singer to be happy because he feels nothing like a sunbeam. The singer is the opposite of a sunbeam, and implies intense depression and hatred for the world in general. We all know Kurt was very troubled so these lyrics probably really spoke to him. The chorus of the song also implies that the singer is speaking to God or anyone who might believe in God saying "don't expect me to sacrifice anything in Jesus' name". It implies that he thinks Christianity is BS and that there may not be a God at all. At least thats how I read it. jesus dont want you for a preacher | Reviewer: holten | 3/25/09 look. kurt isnt some mormon, hes not a priest hes a starting point of a grunge culuter. so leave your christian morals at bible camp. Kurt is God, God is dead. Nirvana never said they were a christian band so see them for what theyu are. His message may even be against jesus who cares. Dont listen to them. He preaches Anarchy, Change, Freedom of Speach, and Utopia. Not some bible bull. So keep you ears open sheep. Peace Love Empathy. jesus dont want me | Reviewer: holten | 3/25/09 why is every one so upset over his lyrics. If you dont like it dont listen to it. Can nobody just express themselves anymore without being ridiculed. Kurt took his life over his empathy of everyhuman, sounds alot like jesus if you ask me. faith dosnt require going to church. It just requires love for whatever you worship, call it god call it science. Its love he preached, not christianity. Have fun at bible camp john. Peace Love EMPATHY. The mark of evil: off the fence about Nirvana | Reviewer: John | 3/22/09 True, Kurt did not write this song, but he did choose to perform it. You could analyze the song deeply, but it doesn't deserve that. Even if Kurt had written it you could skip the analysis. He was a fantastic guitar player who came up with great hooks and had the right look for the part...but his lyrics- go ahead, try to digest them without the music- still read like rants from any junior high kid's notebook: clever, but ultimately empty. Kurt was no poet. But don't be fooled: a perusal of lyrics across the Nirvana discography reveals that Kurt's view of God- and especially Jesus, was extremely disrespectful. It'd be one thing if this song were on the first album; the folly of a teenager, but here he's 27 years old, with a wife and child- not to mention an audience of millions of kids, and what's his message? "Jesus is for fools." At this point, you gotta ask yourself, "Am I a Christian, a follower of Christ?" And, "How is this message gonna jive with what I've been telling my kids about Jesus?" Look over the lyrics, look over the life. Yes, it will be hard to do, like throwing out old love-letters... But, it's time. I will throw my Nirvana LP's without remorse. Actually ... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/23/08 Actually, this song still is a prayer. Translate it to "Jesus, have mercy with me, for I dont't have the strength (right now) to love you like you love me." This could mean the singer is in such a bad situation (i.e. a deep depression) that he cannot even pray for help, only apologize for just that. RENDITION REFLECTION | Reviewer: LJ | 5/28/08 This is a song the Vaselines wrote the irony is that christians are expected to love christ for the fACT HE DIED ON THE CROSS but the song says otherwise(it is no reflection on his beliefs but just an ironicly obvious clever song)if you are having issues about the reality of god visit youtube and type on george carlin.he will sway you in the right direction :p OIL PRICES ARE RISING RAPIDLY, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! AHHHHHHHHH! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/28/08 This is a song the Vaselines wrote the irony is that christians are expected to love christ for the fACT HE DIED ON THE CROSS but the song says otherwise(it is no reflection on KURTS beliefs but just an ironicly obvious clever song)if you are having issues about the reality of god visit youtube and type on george carlin.he will sway you in the right direction :p He did believe at 1 point | Reviewer: anthony dane | 5/5/08 He did believe at 1 point,but things change a person.In kurts case it was bad things that happend to him,c'mon....his parents divorced when he was a kid ,he was homeless and lived underneith a bridge for fucks sakes give'em a break.Those who down him because of his music are idiots,because the shit that happend to him could of happend to you justice for kurt.......rest in peace brother Smells like Teen Spirit | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/7/08 Actually Smells Like Teen Spirit had a meaning. its actually about the generation X. and/or its about that nobody cares anymore. but anyway Jesus Doesn´t want me for a sunbeam is a great song and Kurt was fantastic. if you´ve heard Stay Away it ends with Kurt singing God is gay RIP Kurt! listen | Reviewer: none of your buisness | 2/23/08 listen people so what if kurt may have or may have not belived in god. read his biography heavier than heaven:a biography of kurt cobain and you will learn that at one point he did belive very much in god and went to church alot. but still his songs didnt really mean anything. he just wrote about stuff he thought about and it ended up sounds fucking insanley good. there were songs that had obvious meanings like polly,something in the way but other songs like smells like teen spirit had really no meanings. us nirvana fans should just be thankful for the great music that kurt,krist and dave produced for us and accept the fact that something teribble did happen to the beloved kurt but every one has to go sometime and his time was too short but if thats what happend well then thats whats ment to be.
