Guns N' Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't it fun when your friends despise what you become
Ain't it fun when you get so high, well that you, you just can't come
Ain't it fun when you know that you gonna die young
It's such fun, good fun, such fun, such fun, aah such fun
Such fun, such fun aah, yeah, fun, such fun, such
Oh ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun
Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue
'Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung
It's such fun, ah
Well, so good to me, they spit right in my face
And I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace
I punched my fist right through the glass
And I didn't even feel it, it happened so fast
Such fun, such fun, such fun
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
Ah such fun, such fun, such
Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt
Ain't it fun when you she splits and leaves you on the bum
Well, ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young
It's such fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun
Such fun, such fun, such fun
Such fun
The song "Ain't It Fun" by Guns N' Roses appears to be a reflection on the self-destructive lifestyle typical of the rock star persona, and highlights the pitfalls of fame, drug addiction, and dysfunctional relationships. The opening lines of the chorus describe a constant state of motion, always on the run, with friends who have come to despise the person that the singer has become. The second line speaks to the addictiveness of drugs and the toll that they take on the user, ultimately resulting in death. The repetition of the phrase "such fun" throughout the song is purposely ironic, suggesting that the experiences being described are anything but enjoyable.
The second verse shifts to a focus on the ego-centric nature of the rock star lifestyle, with lyrics invoking the need for self-preservation and even violence. The line "Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung" implies a struggle to communicate, likely due to the overwhelming emotions that come with living in a self-destructive state. The bridge describes a moment of violence as the singer punches through glass without feeling it, which highlights the desensitization that often comes with addiction. The final verse returns to dysfunctional relationships, suggesting a pattern of failed relationships with a misogynistic reference to a former partner.
