As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As an old enemy
Hurry up
The choice is yours
don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memoria

Come
Dowsed in mud
Soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend

And I swear that I don't have a gun

The first verse of the song "Come As You Are" expresses the desire for the listener to be themselves without pretense, allowing them to come just as they are. This sentiment is repeated in various forms throughout the lyrics, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and acceptance. The use of the phrase "as an old enemy" in the chorus suggests that even past grudges and conflicts can be put aside and the listener can be accepted as they are now.
The second verse reinforces this message through the use of contradictory statements. The lines "dowsed in mud soaked in bleach" create a stark contrast between dirty and clean, representing the varying aspects of one's personality. The phrase "as a trend" acknowledges that societal trends and appearances may influence one's sense of self, but ultimately, it is important to remain true to oneself.
The repeated phrase "memoria" creates a dreamlike atmosphere, as if the memories being recalled are somewhat hazy and distant. The final lines, "And I swear that I don't have a gun," could be interpreted in various ways, but ultimately suggest that the singer does not have any ill-intent or ulterior motives. Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and provides a sense of acceptance and peace.
