Yesterdays
Guns N\' Roses Lyrics

Yesterday, there was so many things
The singer is reflecting on their past and acknowledging that there were things they were never told or shown.

I was never told
The singer did not receive important information in the past.

Now that I'm startin' to learn
The singer is currently gaining knowledge and understanding.

I feel I'm growin' old
The artist feels like they are running out of time as they learn more about their past.

'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
The artist does not see any value in the past.

Old pictures that I'll always see
The singer has memories of the past that they cannot forget.

Time just fades the pages
Memories become less clear as time passes.

In my book of memories
The artist's memories are like a book that they can revisit.

Prayers in my pocket
The artist carries their hopes and wishes with them.

And no hand in destiny
The artist feels like they have no control over their future.

I'll keep on movin' along
The singer will continue to move forward in life.

With no time to plant my feet
The artist is too busy to take a break and rest.

Some things could be better
The singer believes that there are things that could be improved.

If we'd all just let them be
The singer thinks that people should stop trying to change everything and accept certain things as they are.

Suddenly this time I found
The singer is experiencing an unexpected realization in the present.

I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
The artist is feeling isolated and vulnerable.

I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
The artist does not have the luxury of dwelling on the past.
