November rain
Guns's And 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 Guns and Roses' "November Rain" reflect the complexity of love and heartbreak, a recurrent theme in the band's music. The song focuses on the challenges of maintaining love in the face of inevitable change and the looming possibility of heartbreak. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is struggling with his/her relationship, acknowledging that love isn't always easy but insisting on its necessity.


The line "When I look into your eyes, I can see a love restrained, but darling, when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same" suggests that while love may be restrained or challenging, it is also intensely felt. The image of holding someone close and feeling their love is a powerful one, indicating the depth of the singer's emotions.


The refrain "Nothing lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change, and it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain" is particularly evocative. It's a simple metaphor, but an effective one - November rain is cold and oppressive, and holding a candle against it would be challenging. It's a reminder that love, like a flame, can be snuffed out in the face of adversity.


Overall, November Rain is a powerful portrayal of the complexities of romantic relationships, and the challenges of holding onto something that is both beautiful and fragile.

It's unclear who is causing the relationship to end at this moment.


Walking away
Someone is leaving the relationship.


If we could take the time

On their own
To be removed from other people and distractions.


I know it's hard to keep an open heart
It's difficult to remain vulnerable and open-hearted,


When even friends seem out to harm you
When even the people closest to you may hurt you.


But if you could heal a broken heart
But if you could get over your past hurts and heartbreaks,


Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Time would begin to work in your favor.


Sometimes I need some time on my
Sometimes I also need some alone time to myself.


Own
Without any outside interference.


And when your fears subside
And when your fears and worries have disappeared,


And shadows still remain, oh yeah
And even if there are still remnants of past pain and hurt,


I know that you can love me
You are capable of loving me again.


When there's no one left to blame
When we learn to take responsibility for our own actions and faults.


So never mind the darkness
So don't worry about the difficult times.


We still can find a way
We can still make things work and find a solution.


'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Because everything is temporary and fleeting.


Even cold November rain
Even the toughest and coldest of situations.


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't you feel the desire to be with someone?


You're not the only one
You're not the only person who feels this way.
