Come As You Are Lyrics
Artist(Band):Nirvana
Review The Song (39)Print the Lyrics
Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
As a friend, as a friend, as an known enemy.
Take your time, hurry up, choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memory-uh

Memory-uh... Memory-uh... Memory-uh...


Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be.
As a trend, as a friend, as a old memory-uh

Memory-uh... Memory-uh... Memory-uh...

Chorus:
Well I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun

--Instrumental--

Memory-uh... Memory-uh... Memory-uh... Memory-uh...

Chorus:
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
(Memory-uh...Memory-uh....)

Review about Come As You Are

come as you are | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/2008
    I like this song. I really like it...and of course for me it's meaning is other than for you...and I think this is the beauty of the art... just listen it, and feel it...it will give answers for you...



    Memoria | Reviewer: A moose | 6/19/2008

    Yah, memoria means 'memory' in latin. Im not saying kurt was a latin scholar, but this theory seems just a tad more likely than a "magic air spirit, or whatever" whispering 'I was dying' in his ear.



    Doused in mud, soaked in bleach.. | Reviewer: Kevin | 4/17/2008

    I think doused in mud meant the heroin needles that were used while not having much money, and reusing them, mud being dried blood. Soaked in bleach as in trying to disinfect the needle before re-using.
    Anyone who knows about Kurt's problem with the shit may understand where I am coming from.

    I think doused in mud meant the heroin needles that were used while not having much money were being shared, mud, being dried blood, covered the needle. Soaked in bleach as in trying to disinfect the needle before re-using.

    come as you are | Reviewer: nevermindXP | 4/2/2008

    the last guy was the most correct, i mean each to their own interpretation, but the song is about someone who wants company but on his own terms, or people wanting his company but contradicting him, either way it works, saying he doesnt have a gun means he has nothing to hide, its not an illusion to him shooting himself dont be an rtard. i have come as you are tattooed on my chest :)



    MEMORIA (is the key) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/2008

    MEMORIA can be splitted in two parts as this: ME MORIA, which in spanish, same promounciation in English clearly means, I WAS DYING. Kurt probably wrote songs without knowing their sense but something in the air influenced him. It is very common when writing. So this "magic" air, spirit or whatever who whispered him the song knew his fate.

    "Come As You Are" is about Irony and Hypocrisy | Reviewer: Mindy | 1/12/2008

    If you're at all familiar with the Southern Baptists you would recognize the phrase "Come as you are." They lure you in with the idea of acceptance, unconditional love, but then they try to control you, and change you with their dogma. The Christian religion crumbles under the weight of its own hypocrisy.

    The lyrics that referenced the political campaign in San Fransisco advising users to soak their needles in bleach before sharing them goes along with the main message of the song.

    The idea being to show the irony and hypocrisy of the moral objectivist world view.

    Of course thats just my interpretation of it.



    Come as you are | Reviewer: Christina | 1/13/2008

    Okay so i see so many people trying to say what this song means. DOES IT REALLY MATTER? its supposed to be what it means to you. So stop trying to be so correct about everything.



    ME | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/2008

    well, i think is better that kurt is dead, he died as a music martyr, like jim morrison or jimi hendrix, so don't be crying wishing he was alive... that made nirvana eternal, if he would still living, the group would never be what is now... so think a little bit before saying things...
