November rain
Guns & 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, oo yeah
But love is always coming and love is always going
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, 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 song "November Rain" by Guns & Roses appears to be a lyrical representation of a tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The first verse suggests that the couple is aware of the impermanence of love and the fact that, like the falling of rain, love can come and go without warning. Despite this, they still hold onto one another, knowing that they share a deep connection.


The second verse is more introspective, with the singer reflecting on the need for time alone and the difficulty of keeping an open heart in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. The chorus reinforces the idea that even though love may fade, there is still a chance to find someone to share companionship with.


The final section of the song reaffirms the strength of the connection between the couple, emphasizing that even in times of difficulty and darkness, love can still prevail if one is willing to put forth the effort.


Line by Line Meaning

When I look into your eyes
I can see the love that you are holding back


I can see a love restrained
Your love is hidden and unexpressed


But darlin' when I hold you
When I have you in my arms


Don't you know I feel the same
I feel the same love and pain as you do


Nothin' lasts forever
All things come to an end eventually


And we both know hearts can change
People's feelings can alter over time


And it's hard to hold a candle
It is difficult to remain optimistic


In the cold November rain
When everything seems hopeless and dark


We've been through this such a long long time
We have been dealing with this for a very long time


Just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah
We have been attempting to numb the emotional pain


But love is always coming and love is always going
Love is a cycle of arrival and departure


And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
No one knows who is ending the relationship today


Walking away
Leaving and ending the relationship


If we could take the time
If we could find a moment


To lay it on the line
To be open and honest about our feelings


I could rest my head
I would be able to relax


Just knowin' that you were mine
Knowing that you are committed to me


All mine
Exclusively mine


So if you want to love me
If you are willing to give your heart to me


Then darlin' don't refrain
Then don't hold back or shy away


Or I'll just end up walkin'
Otherwise, I will leave and give up


In the cold November rain
In the lonely, dark, and empty world


Do you need some time on your own
Do you need space to be by yourself?


Do you need some time all alone
Do you need to distance yourself from me?


Everybody needs some time
Everyone needs time to themselves


On their own
Alone and isolated from others


Don't you know you need some time all alone
You require some solitude in your life


I know it's hard to keep an open heart
I understand how difficult it is to remain vulnerable


When even friends seem out to harm you
When even your close friends seem to be against you


But if you could heal a broken heart
But if you could mend your broken heart


Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Wouldn't the passage of time make you feel better?


Sometimes I need some time
Occasionally, I require some time to myself


On my own
Alone, without company


And when your fears subside
When your worries and anxieties lessen


And shadows still remain, oh yeah
Even though there is still darkness left


I know that you can love me
I am confident that you have the capacity to love me


When there's no one left to blame
When there is no one else to hold responsible


So never mind the darkness
Neglect the gloom and despair


We still can find a way
We can still discover a path to happiness and communion


'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Because everything comes to an end eventually


Even cold November rain
Even the coldest and bleakest times will pass


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't you feel like you want a companion?


Don't ya think that you need someone
Don't you think you want someone to love?


You're not the only one
You are not alone in your desire for love


Everybody needs somebody
Everyone requires someone to love


You're not the only one
You are not the only person who is yearning for love


Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't you believe that you require a companion?


Don't ya think that you need someone
Don't you feel like you want someone by your side?


You're not the only one
You are not the only person who wants a partner


Everybody needs somebody
Everyone requires someone to hold and love


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