duff_rose Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) We have this thing called "song presentation" in my English class where we have to play a song from youtube and then tell about it and analyse the lyrics for the rest of the class.So far we have only been presentated shite songs, so I wanna present them some Guns or something along those lines...A GN'R song with some serious/interesting lyrics - any ideas?(Other suggestions than My World and Cornshucker, please..!)

chevelle Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Coma. The last verse alone is stunning, but you may have to censor out all the naughty words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love&hates Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think "welcome to jungle" is a very good one, isnt ? theres many social views/ meaning you can pick up there . For me would just be difficult because i would have a lot to say about it ,like pages and pages lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orsys Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Mr Brownstone. As Axl says, it can be applied to anything in your life where you have lost control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Better has always been stunning. Perfect lyrics for bitter-sweet break-ups.Oh my God - brilliance. Edited March 21, 2011 by MoonWalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramouche Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'd choose Better or Mr. Brownstone, as already suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) the gardenx2or better.. I've always found the lyrics fit better if you think of the girl he was in love with being a metaphor for a drug habit (I know you guys are gonna shout out saying "he was never addicted" and all of that... the lyrics just seem to fit better that way)especially this part;If I were you, I'd manage to abhore the invitationOf promised love that can't keep up with your adorationJust use your head, and in the end you'll find your inspirationTo choose your steps and won't regret this kind of aggravationabout using drugs to find inspiration, but he's saying it's not worth it, just use your head instead, dummyand with this part;I never wanted you to be so full of angerI never wanted you to be somebody elseI never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselvesI only wanted you to see things for yourselfI'd imagine him singing it to himself as if the drugs changed what he felt like and his behavior even though he just wanted to see things for himself...anyone can read what they see out of the lyrics, which is what makes them great I guessEDIT: and on the subject of 'The Garden'.. I've always thought of it as a song on peer pressure into the "magical" world of drugs (?) some of my friends are very into drugs so that may alter my views on some song's meanings lol Edited March 21, 2011 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Bad Apples i think'd be a different and interesting one, a comment on the plasticity and false-ness of...i dunno, consumer society, "the american dream"...maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ha, I remember having to do this at school. I did Black by Pearl Jam and got an A. What a fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Catcher in the Rye seems easiest as you can relate it to book, then debate etc. Civil War could be another, anti-war, JFK.Outside of Guns I'd go with Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone has easy to tell story behind it involving Warhol, Edie Sedgewick.homework must be easy now cos of wikipedia.
