- Come As You Are Lyrics / with translationsSongwriters: Cobain, Kurt; Novoselic, Krist; Grohl, David;
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
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As an old
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
No I don't have a gun
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, memory
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
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
Memory, memory
Memory, memory
No I don't have a gun
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, memory

We have lost a treasure. He was in a lot of dipression which led him to the gates of death. But he showed the world that amazing music can be created when you are deeply hurt from inside.

If he committed suicide, why did he do it while he was in the process of cutting Courtney out of his will and leaving her? Too many parts of the story point to her having something to do with it
