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

'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
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses provide a reflection on the nature of love and the uncertainty that comes with it. The song acknowledges the presence of restrained love while expressing the reality that nothing lasts forever. The line "Walking away" is an acknowledgment of the fact that sometimes, no matter how much love there is, people just can't stay together. Despite this, hope remains as the chorus shifts to an appeal for love not to be withheld, or it will lead to the experience of being left alone, in the cold November rain. The singer pleads for the chance to fully commit to the relationship, even just for a moment, because even a little time with certainty is better than not having any time at all. Love is considered to be essential and valuable, even in the face of uncertainty, loneliness, and pain.


Line by Line Meaning

When I look into your eyes
As I gaze deeply into your eyes, I can sense that your love is suppressed


I can see a love restrained
I can perceive that you are concealing your love


But darlin' when I hold you
However, my love, when I embrace you


Don't you know I feel the same
Please be aware that I also experience those very same emotions


'Cause nothin' lasts forever
The truth is that all things come to an end


And we both know hearts can change
We are aware that our hearts may alter over time


And it's hard to hold a candle
It's difficult to keep the flame of love alive


In the cold November rain
Especially during cold, dismal November rain


We've been through this such a long long time
We've been straddling this line for an extended period of time


Just tryin' to kill the pain
Attempting to alleviate the hurt and heartache


But lovers always come and lovers always go
However, lovers always come and go


An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
It's tough to identify who is relinquishing the hold at the present time


Walking away
Walking away from love


If we could take the time
If we were able to take a moment


To lay it on the line
To be completely honest


I could rest my head
I could relax and feel assured


Just knowin' that you were mine
Merely knowing that you belong to me


All mine
Completely mine


So if you want to love me
If loving me is truly what you desire


Then darlin' don't refrain
Then, sweetheart, do not hold back


Or I'll just end up walkin'
Otherwise, I will eventually walk away


In the cold November rain
Leaving you alone in the cold, rainy month of November


Do you need some time on your own
Is it necessary for you to have some personal time


Do you need some time all alone
Do you require some solitude


Everybody needs some time on their own
It's reasonable for everyone to have a moment of solitude


Don't you know you need some time all alone
Are you not aware that you also require moments of privacy and introspection


I know it's hard to keep an open heart
Being receptive to love is tough


When even friends seem out to harm you
Especially when even friends seem to harbour ill-will


But if you could heal a broken heart
However, if you were able to mend a broken heart


Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Time would never lose its charm for you


Sometimes I need some time on my own
Occasionally I need some alone time


Sometimes I need some time all alone
There are moments when I require complete solitude


And when your fears subside
When your fears start to alleviate


And shadows still remain
Even though the shadows of the past endure


I know that you can love me
I am certain that you can love me


When there's no one left to blame
Once there is no one else to fault


So never mind the darkness
Do not dwell on darkness


We still can find a way
Let's keep searching for a solution


'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Because permanence eludes all things


Even cold November rain
Including the cold, dreary November rain


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Do not you believe that you need someone else


Don't ya think that you need someone
Do not you believe that you need another person


Everybody needs somebody
Everyone requires another person's presence in their life


You're not the only one
You are not alone in feeling this way
