Rockabye Baby! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As a friend, as a friend, as and old enemy
Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as and old memoria
Memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria
Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend as an old 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
Memoria, 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
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
The song "Come as You Are" by Rockabye Baby! seems to be about a person who wants their friend or former enemy to come as they are. The lyrics "Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be" suggests that the person should come as they truly are, without pretending or putting on an act. The lyrics "As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy" indicate that the person is welcome as both a friend and old enemy, acknowledging past conflicts but inviting them to be in the present moment as a friend.
The repetition of the word "memoria" seems to suggest that the memories of past experiences and relationships are still present and important. The mention of being "doused in mud, soaked in bleach" could signify either a metaphorical representation of the person's past struggles or a suggestion to come as they physically are, without pretending to be polished or perfect. The line "And I swear that I don't have a gun" could be interpreted as the person assuring their friend that they won't hurt them, or that they won't force them to be anything other than who they are.
Overall, the song "Come as You Are" seems to be a plea for authenticity and forgiveness, inviting someone to be themselves and to leave the past behind. It is a message of acceptance and openness, encouraging people to meet each other where they are without judgment or expectation.
