Do Re Mi Lyrics

Before I let everyone know how I interpet this song, I just want to bring about the theory of consideration:

The Chorus: DO RE MI: Kind of reminds you poetically of DREAM? Doesn't it? Do Re Mi? He also kind of hints that he also means some kind of dreamy since within the bond of the childhood lullaby, humorously along with the rest of his beautiful music that IS talent that he denied.

So the chorus, I believe, somewhat displays what he's always seen as one of his bandmates says: when he sings, it's like a different world come to life, basically. So: DREAM! DO RE ME!

Being someone who really feels compassionate, relative, or chooses to be pure enough to see who(which is REALLY hard... but in the end peaceful) Kurt Cobain, this song relates to a lot of how I feel.

This song reminds me of just my own childhood to present fantasies of death, hence: cold and good (or go to gut) to bleed me... The stomach, to me, was my favorite spot to imagine the best wound to have for death for people as sad or sentimental but angelic as I and Kurt Cobain... but I plead and BEG that I am NOT trying to be like him... once I was but only by being myself, I realize I am still alike with the hair and blue eyes but of no pride because dying like him his horrible when I'd rather be alive and make people grateful.

He's talking about something very beautiful he's always seen but was always to jumpy to realize how great it is, in some aspects. It's dreamy... just as I always lived in a dream world... with my head and hands inside my jacket.

He's basically man with more estrogen than testosterone, if you ask me because he wants to be understood and let down as he weeps but no one would really do that. As he is correct that he is a "Jesus man" but not entirely but relative because people, even today, will physically or mentally humiliate and torture before they'll do things so kind as to... provide the gift of death into the gut or to care for, undivided, full mawkish feelings, etc... but it's a hard path to bear such care but is it in the beginning to end? People start usually never in the beginning which is why it's hard.

It's Do Re Mi, in some form of dream mixed with the old lullaby for this happy feeling of Nirvana he's always pursued from the aid of a wife, heroin, and his own memories, and tortured past that comforts him as he consumes it for a sad, masochist, feeling... or a bittersweet, if not sweet completely feeling.

I think this song marks Kurt's acceptance that his music can grasp the world's attention but this song so beautiful still won't buy what he's always wanted. I guess true love, as simple as he already was to even feel Nirvana... or slightly, sadly to say, but I think he truly has felt Nirvana. Murder? Suicide? or both? He could've had someone kill him for him... Is that plausible? The question of his death is still the question in his own mind is to die or live. That's probably why it's a big question because most won't believe that he would hire someone to do it for him but I could be false which is why I make theories no conclusions. Things like that really either takes the people involved, even as far as cops, or someone as abstract or far away as us... mainly the sure are pure but the many are still right: Murder: yes Suicide: yes Both: definitely... as figurative as he is or maybe just too simple to understand like Buddha holding up a flower: People are like, "why is he holding it? What does it represent? But all it is: Is a flower to enjoy, cherish, look at, smell. Life itself RIGHT NOW.

Do Re Mi, I dream.
