Come As You Are!!!

This song is so special and close to my heart. Great song by Kurt Cobain.. i am madly in love with this guys sense of music and life. he disturbs me it seems as if his songs strikes the inner most cord. The songs have so much more to it than the simple lyrics. This song is about the love- hate relationship which we usually share with THE Person we love. Trying to telling that you are safe and  i will not hurt you even though we have some bad memories of the past. Just want you to come back to me the way you are. The present is always contaminated with the memories of the past. This song is about being cynical about meeting an ex who you are still in love with.

I think friend is quite sarcastic and maybe the word his ex used to describe what they are now knowing that they could never just be friends, the old enemy part referring to all the fights they had and how it did cause them to hate each other

In the song, the person welcoming you as a friend appears to be open minded and generous but then contradicts it all.

His song, like almost all his songs, is so ambivalent you could actually interpret it many ways. I think he does this not only for artistic purposes, but also to give the listener the freedom to feel the way they want to about it. But I think he believes in the cynical interpretation even though he wishes for the non-cynical interpretation.

This is by far my favorite Nirvana song and Kurt was a real intelligent guy who was emotional and had unhappy as per my understanding as all his songs are about lose of true love and friend. Its really hard to live without true love and a person who would understand.
