Since I Don't Have You
'GUNS N'ROSES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked ol' misery
And she's been here since then
Yeah, we're fucked!
I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I, I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, oh yeah!
In "Since I Don't Have You," Guns N' Roses expresses the pain and emptiness that comes with losing someone they love. The opening lines demonstrate the complete lack of direction and motivation that come after that person has left. The singer doesn't have plans or schemes, indicating that he has lost his drive for the future. He doesn't have fond desires or happy hours, emphasizing the depth of his sadness. The repeated phrase "I, I, I don't have anything" underscores the way that his entire world has been torn apart by the loss of this person.
The second verse explores the aftermath of this loss. Happiness is something that seems completely out of reach - the singer doesn't believe that he will ever experience it again. Instead, his constant companion is misery - a personification of the pain and suffering that define his life since his love left. The final verse touches on the fact that, without this person, the singer doesn't feel that he has anyone in the world to care for him. This sense of isolation makes the loss feel even more acute and painful.
Overall, "Since I Don't Have You" is a powerful exploration of the impact that losing someone we love can have on our lives. The lyrics effectively convey the feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, and sadness that can accompany such a loss.
