If I may,
If I might,
Let me down, we've been,
If I say what is life,
I might be dreaming,
If I may what is right,
Summon time too see me,
He lives in his bonnet,
A face from his pocket,
Chains mowing life from trees.
Do Re Mi.
If I may,
If I might,
Wake me up, see me,
If I do and if I lie,
Find me out see me,
If I may cold as ice,
I may have too see me,
The ways in his socket,
The face from his moment,
The chains from his socket,
Do Re Mi.
Wish me good,
Wish me light,
Find me out, see me,
If I may just be quiet,
Follow hate and be me,
Hello and if I sigh,
Shake me out; TV,
If I may and if I might,
Gotta gun to bleed,
Rays in his pocket,
Rays from his wallet,
Chains from his armor,
Am I deep?
Do Re Mi.
If I might,
Let me down, we've been,
If I say what is life,
I might be dreaming,
If I may what is right,
Summon time too see me,
He lives in his bonnet,
A face from his pocket,
Chains mowing life from trees.
Do Re Mi.
If I may,
If I might,
Wake me up, see me,
If I do and if I lie,
Find me out see me,
If I may cold as ice,
I may have too see me,
The ways in his socket,
The face from his moment,
The chains from his socket,
Do Re Mi.
Wish me good,
Wish me light,
Find me out, see me,
If I may just be quiet,
Follow hate and be me,
Hello and if I sigh,
Shake me out; TV,
If I may and if I might,
Gotta gun to bleed,
Rays in his pocket,
Rays from his wallet,
Chains from his armor,
Am I deep?
Do Re Mi.

Lay me down weeping.
If I say what it's like,
I might be dreaming.
If I may, what is right?
Summertime see me heal.
Those years in his blonde head
The faith from his pocket
Then change from his knowing life long dream
Dream
Do Re
If I may and if I might
Wake me up and - see me
If I do and if I like
Find me out - see me
If i lay cold as ice
I may now - see me heal
The ways in his soft kiss
The praise from his momma
A change form sucking I believe
Praise
Re
Do Re Mi
Kiss me girl and wish me light,
Find me out of season.
In the rain we'll just be quiet,
Fall on hay pretty.
Yell or wail if I sigh,
Shake me how to be!
If I may and if I might,
Got a gut to bleed.
The days in his pot-head
Raised from his mother
He takes from his own, am I deep?
Don't rape me
Do Re Mi
I like to see this as sort of a compliment to "You Know You're Right" – in that very late-era song, he sarcastically and non-cathartically wails "Pain" for a whole chorus and then "you know you're right."
Here, he reaches up high in his range and says, "Heal," and then goes for the simple "do re mi" reminder of music's potential healing power.
And the "If I may," stuff ... just sounds prayer like. Whether he was praying for a release here or knew instinctively that he wasn't going to be around for much longer – it's pretty moving to me. Always felt some weirdly strong connection to the dude, myself.
Godspeed!

I think he wanted other people to want understand him and see him as some great genius with some great, heartbreaking story full of emotion. He tried to make people who knew him because of his music wonder about his multi-meaning bizarre lyrics and try to understand him. He tried to make his lyrics like some sort of epic treasure hunt full of riddles and challenges so that he may be viewed as some great treasure-also the genius behind it- and for the first time, get the respect he really needed and to be truly loved (which we all need especially Kurt). I only think this because this is how I feel about myself and I see alot of myself in the things Kurt said in his lyrics. Again this is just a theory, no solid evidence, just my interpretations of Kurt's emotions. It may make sense to some, so any who dont understand: I apologize for wasting your time.
great song though
Unfortunately, I still don't get the meaning of this song... :(
I'm almost positive this is what is being said:
If I may
And if I might
Lay me down
Weeping
If I say
What it's like
I might be
dreaming
If I say
What is right
Summertime
see me
heal
Those years in his bonnet
The face from his pocket
And chains holding the wind
Lifelong dream
- re he mi
- re mi
- do re mi
- do re hee
If I may
And if I might
Wake me up
And see me
If I do
And If I like
Find me how to see
If I may
Cold as ice
I may how to see me
Heal
Raised in his socket
Raised from his moment
A chase from his socket I will need
- re he mi (x2)
- do re mi (x4)
Wish me good
Wish me light
Find me, how to see me
In your way
just be quiet
Follow pain and breed me
Yell or wail
And if I sigh
Sink me how
TV
If I may
and if I might
Golden good to bleed
Praised in his pocket
Raised from his moment
A chase from his owner in my tea
- do re mi
- re he hee
- re he mi
- do re mi (x5)
I wonder what the significance of the do re mi parts are still. He changes between: do re mi, do re hee, re mi, re he hee, re he mi" .
anyone else hear that?
