Julianne

this song is just an open explanation to what really goes on in some (most) relationships that most people want to pretend doesn't happen... it really makes the cheater look like an ass either way.

Glad I'm not Julianne.

Wow, never thought of this to be about cheating, but hey, Julianne was probably a bitch anyway :)

so any person that gets cheated on is a bitch? i think it has more to do with the restraint of the cheater that the character of the cheated

Sure the cheater's confused- he's with a bitch. I didn't think he cheated though, i mean, they slept in their clothes didnt they?! I had a girl like Julianne and girls that try to run your life and are disappointed in you when you quit your job, tend to take dumping quite harshly. That's what i felt guilty for- nice enough girl otherwise but when i came to my senses, i couldn give a shit :)

..even had a girlfriend that looked like axl rose.. but i still like her!...

I don't think we are supposed to assume Julianne is a bitch. The only thing he says about her is that he doesn't miss her and that she would be angry if she found out that he spent the night with another woman. I'd say that sounds pretty reasonable. And even if he didn't actually have sex with the Axl Rose woman, it's definitely pretty sketchy to get her drunk and spend the night together when you have a girlfriend. It could just be that he felt trapped in a relationship that didn't make him happy. Hanging out with the other woman made him realize that he wanted something more out of a relationship. I've had revelations like that, and it didn't mean that my boyfriend was a dick; it just meant that he and I weren't working out. I think that's the message here.

1)I had never thought that he cheated. The last verse might be able to put out a case for it, but I always thought Axl happened after the narrator was through with Julianne. "You know that julianne/She would have a fit" The tense of "would" makes me think that she either hasn't found out yet, or won't find out. Other stanzas lead me to believe that the dumpage has already gone down.

2)I believe that Julianne was a genuine bitch. He's using the image of "dragging a bag of trash" to Julianne. Sounds like he really thought she was a caring, sensitive, worth while lady, didn'he? Did you compare your non-dickish boyfriend to a bag of trash?

This song has a really confident, satisfied sound to it. If Julianne were a better person to the narrator, it would probably sound more like Where's Summer B.? instead of Uncle Walter, you know what I'm saying?

Peace.

i think this song is actually just about a nowhere relationship, a stupid one night stand when she happened up at his house when they got drunk. nothing even happend, but she got emotionally attatched and bitchy.

and he feels bad because it never meant anything to him, and is just trying to get rid of her because she is too much for him

The line of "We slept in our clothes", I think is "We slept in HER clothes". Which does make an awful lot more sense.
