Guns and Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was never told
Now that I'm startin' to learn
I feel I'm growin' old
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Time just fades the pages
Prayers in my pocket
And no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along
With no time to plant my feet
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
If we'd all just let them be
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me
Yesterday there were so many things
I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday
Yesterday
, the song by Guns and Roses, is a track that is all about living in the present rather than dwelling on the past. The opening line of the song talks about there being so many things that the singer wasn't told in the past. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they missed out on important life lessons or experiences, but now they are starting to learn and grow older as a result.
The chorus of the song focuses on how yesterday has nothing left to offer the singer. They reflect on old pictures and memories that will always remain with them, but time has faded the pages of their book of memories. The singer acknowledges that there are prayers in their pocket, but they are not relying on destiny to help them move forward. Instead, they acknowledge that they need to keep moving along even if it means they can't plant their feet in one place for too long.
The bridge of the song focuses on how the singer feels alone as they walk the streets. They don't have time to reminisce on old memories, novelties or think about how things could be better if they were different. The song ends with the word "yesterday," leaving the listener to ponder what else yesterday might represent in the singer's life.
Line by Line Meaning
Yesterday, there was so many things
In the past, there were a lot of things that I didn't know about
I was never told
Nobody bothered to share this information with me
Now that I'm startin' to learn
Now that I'm beginning to gain knowledge
I feel I'm growin' old
I feel like time is passing me by and I'm getting older
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
The past has nothing to offer me anymore
Old pictures that I'll always see
I have old memories that I can't help but remember
Time just fades the pages
As time goes on, memories become less vivid and detailed
In my book of memories
My personal collection of past experiences
Prayers in my pocket
I carry my hopes and wishes with me
And no hand in destiny
I have no control over what the future holds
I'll keep on movin' along
I'll continue with my life's journey
With no time to plant my feet
I have no time to rest or settle down
Some things could be better
There are things that could improve if we let them be
If we'd all just let them be
If we don't interfere, certain things will resolve themselves
Yesterday there were so many things
In the past, there were things that I wasn't exposed to
I was never shown
No one ever taught or demonstrated these things to me
Suddenly this time I found
Out of nowhere, I realized
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
I'm out here in the world, without anyone or anything to rely on
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
I don't have time to waste thinking about the past or meaningless things
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
The past doesn't offer anything to me anymore
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
The past isn't relevant to me anymore
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
The past doesn't contribute anything to my present or future
Yesterday
The past

Yesterday, there was so many things
I was never told
Now that I’m startin’ to learn
I feel I’m growin’ old
‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Old pictures that I’ll always see
Time just fades the pages
In my book of memories
Prayers in my pocket
And no hand in destiny
I’ll keep on movin’ along
With no time to plant my feet
‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Old pictures that I’ll always see
Some things could be better
If we’d all just let them be
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Got nothin’ for me
Yesterday there were so many things
I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found
I’m on the streets and I’m all alone
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Old pictures that I’ll always see
I ain’t got time to reminisce old novelties
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Yesterday’s got nothin’ for me
Yesterday
Yesterday
