November rain
GUNS`N´ROSES Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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?

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, ooh yeah
Love is always comin', love is always goin'
No one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walkin' 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?
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, 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?
Oh, oh, oh

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, oh yeah
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “November Rain” evoke a sense of bittersweet longing as Axl Rose reflects on a love that is about to end. The first two lines of the song provide an apt visualization of the restrained love that he sees in his partner’s eyes. Despite the love they share, the couple is aware that nothing lasts forever, and both hearts can change. It’s particularly poignant when Rose notes that holding a candle in the cold November rain is difficult, as it not only references the season but also symbolizes the emotional distance between them.


As the song progresses, we see that the couple has been trying to deal with their pain for a long time. They are uncertain about who is letting go of love and walking away. However, if they could only express their love truthfully, they could rest easy knowing that they belong to each other. At times, they both need some time alone, but it seems that they are in a state of emotional tangle, where one of them may need space while the other yearns for togetherness.


Despite the darkness that surrounds them, Axl Rose assures that there is hope for their love to survive. Even if they're left with nothing to blame or hope for, they could still find a way to keep their love alive. The repetition of the lines “Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone?” in the final stanza suggests that Axl Rose is not only speaking about his own relationship, but he's also addressing the universal need for companionship and the comfort that comes with knowing that we are all on this journey together.
