Guns N' Roses – November Rain lyrics
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
Yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one's really sure
Who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody

    Past experiences may lead people to believe that love doesn't exist. When one encounters that person they love, many times, that other person may not feel the same love towards you, therefore, it becomes complicated. The guy is saying that he loves this woman but is not sure that she loves him back perhaps because he can tell the differences in her behavior. He is being more or less pessimistic in a way, thinking that usually in a relationship, one person loves and other one doesn't and moves on. But he's giving the girl the chance to think about it and perhaps she would come back to him, realizing that she loves him back but in the end, she dies, symbolizing that the girl doesn't feel the same way towards him.

    I forgot to mention that I absolutely love this song. And if you really think about it, the phrase "nothing lasts forever" is so meaningful since it is true of many things in life, everything dies eventually, I. E. A human beings, plants, a car, etc., even if it doesn't dies completely, it deteriotes eventually. In life, nothing can remain the same, even if it takes years to get to that stage. Like s*, for example. Eventually, our bodies don't allow us to continue having it.

    I agree with everyone who posted on this song and my opinion is that I saw the video a while ago, And it was magical, Truly amazing. Such a great song by guns N' roses and so cool too. I think that it symbolizes A bad wedding and crushed hope for that wedding but I never read the book so if anyone wants to correct me feel free to do so.

    Dear Metallica fans,.
    Metal Milita is back with another idea, this time maybe a little bit better than the last one. Here goes, on October 28th (also known as the birthday of Metallica) every fan is asked to go to the Enter Sandman video from Moscow (the first result) watch it and press like. If you hate people like Justin Beiber or Lady Gaga this is the step to take. If enough people visit it will become the most viewed video in the history! Please spread! Thanks.
