Blackstar Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 1 hour ago, History2010 said: Personally, I feel like this was a personal poem instead of lyrics. It's very difficult to imagine lyrics this personal showing up on a GN'R record back in the Illusion era. I don't think the band was equipped to tackle subject matter this intense. This writing definitely foreshadows themes that Axl would later explore on Chinese Democracy, however. Yeah, it looks more like a journal written in the form of lyrics/"poem" - likely so that lines could be handy to be potentially used in actual lyrics.

I don't know how his writing process works especially in collaboration with others. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of songs started off like this but in the end product only contains a few lines from something originally a lot more personal. 5 hours ago, Blackstar said: Yeah, it looks more like a journal written in the form of lyrics/"poem" - likely so that lines could be handy to be potentially used in actual lyrics. Sorry, just realised you more or less said the same thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericy210 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 If selling this is so bad, none of you are reading these private lyrics, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed that they downloaded the 19 Locker CD's too so they've also heard Axls unreleased, therefore private, lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This would've made a badass song, kind of reminds me of Coma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamGirl Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 This makes me feel very sorry for axl as it sounds as though life itself was a struggle for him leaving him unable to enjoy and appreciate his achievements. A tortured soul indeed. I hope he has found some peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
