Line in a Song That Means So Much to You Or Just Your Favorite?

[ChristmasFnatic]

And why?

Oh and could be per album if you want.

For me:

AFD:

"Now and then when I see her face it takes me away to that special place"

About a girl I love

LIES:

"I had to put her six feet under, and I can still hear her complain"

Just full of LOL!

UYI I:

"Cuz Ive been where I have been, Ive seen what I have seen, I put the pen to the paper, cause its all a part of me"

When people tell you to not speak your beliefs/mind.

UYI II:

"Sweetness is a virute, and you lost your virute long ago"

So true in so many levels that I want to say to some exs.

[Kill Devil Hill]

GN'R isn't exactly known for genius lyrics, but I'll take a stab at it.

Appetite For Destruction:

"I see you standin' there. You think you're so cool. Why don't you just fuck off?"

Not exactly poetry, but it always makes me laugh.

GN'R Lies:

- "Radicals and racists, don't point your finger at me. I'm a small town white boy just trying to make ends meet."

It's the reason I love this song. Talk about culture shock.

Use Your Illusion 1:

- "Your laundry could use washing. We'll hang it up all over town. I said Hollywood's like a dryer and we're down on Sunset Strip and you'll be suckin' down the Clorox 'til your life's all nice and crisp."

Coma and DDM had a lot of potential winners, but I've always loved the imagery in this line.

Use Your Illusion 2:

- "I've come to know the cold. I think of it as home. When there ain't enough of me to go around, I'd rather be left alone."

The whole song is an insightful look into Axl's brain.

Chinese Democracy:

- "A broken heart provides the spark for my determination."

Because I wish it would.

[GunsNRevolvers2]

AFD: Rocket Queen

"No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain. I'd hate to see you walking out there in the rain. So don't chastise me or think I mean you harm. Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too long"

Just a very real line. Obviously one of the best parts of appetite, so real.

Lies: One In A Million

"It's been such a long time since I knew right from wrong. It's all the means to an end I'm, I keep it moving along"

Great song, wish Axl could pull OIM out live

UYI1: Coma

"And it's so easy to be social, it's so easy to be cool. Yeah, it's easy to get hungry, when you ain't got shit to lose"

Coma fucking rules.

UYI2: Locomotive

"When you won't take the love I have to give

I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall

I let it fill my head with dreams

And I had to have them all

But oh the taste is never so sweet

As what you'd believe it is

Well I guess it never is"

Probably my favorite Axl lyric, and one of my overall favorites of all time

CD: There Was A Time

"Yeah, there was a time. Didn't wanna know it all. Didn't wanna know it all and, I don't wanna know it now"

CD's best song, love it

[Mfegz]

"Turn around bitch I got a use for you besides you aint got nothing better to do and I'm bored"

[liers]

AFD: Where do we go now?

-I think this explains the curiosity of where the band would go.

Lies: I had to put her 6 feet under and I can still hear her complain.

-funny

UYI1: It's so easy to be social it's so easy to be cool it's so easy to be hungry when you ain't got shit to loose.

-it's the truth

UYI2: The ones you love are the ones supposed to take you higher

-meaningful and the truth

CD: On an ordinary day not in an ordinary way all at once the song I heard no longer would it play for anybody or anyone.

-To me it describes how life can change in an instant.

CHINESE DEMOCRACY - Street Of Dreams

What this means to me

Is more than I know you believe

What I thought of you now

Has cost more that it should for me

What I thought was true before

Were lies I couldn't seeWhat I thought was beautiful

Is only memories

that whole song has helped me with a relationship i had, after 6 years left being betrayed and humiliated Street of Dreams and Oh my God, were lyrics i could definitely identify with whilst going through heart ache and pain

OH MY GOD

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle

If only you had let me know

How long can you bear him

To come back and haunt you

To burn past your feelings

And cause you to suffer

You're starting to bleed

They don't give you up

Before its too late

What will you offer

In way of a healing

I'm so confused, abused, misused

APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION - Think About You

There wasn't much in this heart of mine

But there's a little left and babe you found it

It's funny how I never felt so high

It's a feeling that I know I know I'll never forget

Just reminds of that high you get from a new relationship and being in love for the first time

LIES - Patience

Its hard to see with so many around

You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd

And the streets don't change

But maybe the names

I ain't got time for the game cause I need you

UYI I - Back Off Bitch

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge

Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge

Tellin' lies of such fame and glory

I don't even wanna hear your story

UTI II - Estranged

I'll never find anyone to replace you

Guess I'll have to make it through, this time - oh this time

Without you

If the world would end today

All the dreams we have would all just drift away

Man, you are one sentimental mothafucka. Reminds me of me.

[thomasmcole]

AFD:

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I'd hide,

And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by.

Lies:

The streets don't change but maybe the names.

UYI I:

So nevermind the darkness, we still can find a way,

Cos nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain.

UYI II:

I knew the storm was getting closer,

And all my friends said I was high,

But everything we've ever known's here

I never wanted it to die.

CD:

I don't know just what I should do,

Everywhere I go I see you,

Though it's what you planned this much is true,

What I though was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore.

"It's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me."

Probably some of Axl's best lyrics ever put to paper.

[izzygirl]

GN'R isn't exactly known for genius lyrics, but I'll take a stab at it.

"Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets

Time went by and it became a joke."

It sums up pretty well everything.

LOL! Do you think Axl is aware of it and hence why he dont sing that song as much?

I guess he is aware of it, yep. But I don't think that's the reason why he doesn't sing that song anymore. I wish he did cos it's one of my favorites.

Yep. Mine too. First song of GNR I love that isnt known to casual fans.

The next part is great too, the whole thing is my favorite:

"We just needed more and more fulfillin'

Uh huh

Time went by

And it all went up in smoke!"

haha i will take that as a compliment, i think...

It's one of the reasons I love GnR so much i can relate to a lot of the lyrics

[t-p-d-a]

"Just because you're winnin'... Don't mean you're the lucky ones" Guns N' Roses - Breakdown

[Amir]

Lyrics from Better, TWAT, Madagascar and Prostitute.

Specifically,

"This melody inside of me still searches for solution"

"And now you're sleeping like an angel, Never mind who you gave head"

"If there's something I can make of this, or anything at all,

It'd be the Devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all"

"If we ever find it's true, that we have the strength to choose,

Ohhh, free them of the chains, we held together"

"I told you when I found you if there were doubts you should be careful and unafraid,

Now they surround you all that amounts to is love that you fed by perversion and pain"

[Snowmass]

Axl's ad lib from YCBM- (raspy scream)"with your ass in the air". It just represents Axl at his peak (1992 ish).

[GnR Chris]

Not to nitpick OP, but the line is "SHE takes me away to that special place."

This is a great topic by the way. I want to submit tomorrow.

[Guest Gunns]

'no one is stopping you from doing what you want to do,

no one is stopping you now, stopping you now'

[Gunzen]

Your stupid girfriends tell you, that I'm to blame,

Well, there all just used up has-beens, out of the game.

I met an old cowboy

I saw the look in his eyes

Somethin' tells me he's been here before

'Cause experience makes you wise

[wasted]

If I thought that I was crazy I guess Id have more fun.
