My World
Guns N' Roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wan'da step into my world
It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss
You've been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
Your cat-scan shows disfiguration
I want to laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse
With a bent configuration
I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath
You want to talk to me
So talk to me
You want to talk to me (7x)
You can't talk to me
You don't understand your sex
You ain't been mindfucked yet

Let's do it (3x)
Oh my distorted smile





Guess what I'm doing now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "My World" by Guns N' Roses has deeply existentialist themes, vividly portraying a state of being which is quite difficult to understand. The opening lines "You wan'da step into my world, It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss" draw attention to the fact that the song is about an individual's personal world, a world that is not easy to understand from an outsider's perspective. The lyrics tell the story of someone who is in a world of his own, and the singer is inviting others to come into that world. However, the world presented is not a happy one, but rather a disturbed, chaotic, and confusing one that has many ups and downs.


The lines "Your cat-scan shows disfiguration, I want to laugh myself to death" imply that the individual has suffered some sort of disfigurement, something beyond their knowledge or control. The singer of the song is trying to make others understand that they are living in a different world due to their own incapacities which have led them astray from the reality. The lyrics also criticize the audience for not being able to penetrate the mind of the singer, as demonstrated by the lines, "You can't talk to me, You don't understand your sex". In essence, the song seems to be about the artist's struggle to communicate their feelings, with no one understanding them completely.

Guns N' Roses sind eine großartige Band. Ich frage mich, wie Sweet Child o' Mine live klingen wird. Ich habe gerade Tickets für ihr Konzert in Deutschland auf https://www.timeforgig.com/de/guns-n-roses/artists/0mjrv gekauft.
