The Audio Perv

There’s been a lot of talk as to why Guns N Roses’s new album, “Chinese Democracy”, has taken so long to be released. Was Axl Rose really working on a masterpiece? Were there a lot of legal problems? Did he just take a nap and not want to get up? It’s a little bit of everything but one topic that hasn’t fully been examined is that Axl Rose could’ve been broken-hearted and maybe even depressed. A closer look at some of the lyrics show mentions of love and pain and stolen hearts. Take a closer look and maybe even listen to the album in full here. (Thanks to this site for the lyrics.)

“Better”
The hardest part, this troubled heart has never yet been through now,
To heal the scars that got their start inside someone like you now,
But had I known or I’d been shown back when I longed you’d take me,
To break the charge that brought me home…
that, all but would erase me

If all I knew was that with you
I’d want someone to save me
It’d be enough,
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby… ”

“IRS”
As when you first told me you were gone,
So long ago but I still held on
Through all the EMOTIONS that I’ve had to take
And thats the truth, and here’s the worst yet

Wouldn’t even matter the things that I say
You’ve made your mind up and gone anyway
And there’s no use now in dragging it on
Should’ve seen it coming all along

“Street Of Dreams”
I don’t know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know its what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful, don’t live inside of you anymore

“This I Love”
I just can’t let it die
Cause her heart’s just like mine
And she holds her pain inside

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes

If you see Axl outside, give him a hug. and let me know about it. Oh and “Say Hi to your mother for me”
