  • Though the line "I swear that I don't have a gun" is still held up as a moment of haunting prescience, it takes away from the initial intent of Nevermind's second single, a foreboding moment of artistry that summed up Nineties social anxiety maybe even better than "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - said Cobain, the lyrics are about "people and what they're expected to act like." The chords is a slowed down replica of Killing Joke's 1985 song "Eighties." The songs were so similar that Nirvana considered holding off releasing this as a single.

    Lyrics: Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be
    As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
    Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late
    Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria
    Memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria
    Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be
    As a friend, as a trend as an old memoria, memoria, memoria
    And I swear that I don't have a gun
    No, I don't have a gun
    No, I don't have a gun
    Memori-a, memori-a, memoria, memoria
    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

    • @westonwheeler2311
      @westonwheeler2311 4 года назад +12

      I take the line " I swear that I dont have a gun" is something he took from psychiatric appointments. Because when you're diagnosed with depression, or in Kurt's case Manic Depression, the psychiatrist will ask you a lot, almost every session "Do you have a gun" or something along the lines of "Are you planning on hurting yourself?". So maybe Kurt was just having some lyrical play on that

    • @westonwheeler2311
      @westonwheeler2311 4 года назад +5

      Also to add. He follows up his constant line of "dont have a gun" with memoria, which is also psychiatrical moves of asking about past experiences, aka memoria

    Cool! Very cool! Sometimes I play this song. Pretenders are not welcome, but they exist. Sometimes we pretend. Come as you are.
