The Blues Lyrics
All the love in the world couldn't save you
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
To make you change your mind
And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I didn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe
So now I wander through my day
Trying to find my way
Still these feelings that I felt
I said to you and no one else
And though as long as this road seems,
I know it's called the street of dreams,
but that's not stardust on my feet,
It leaves a taste that's bittersweet
That's called the blues
Don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
What this means to me
The more I know you believe
What I thought was you now
Has got more that it changed on you
What I thought was true
The more that I might know is you
What I thought was you
Is only memories, distant
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
To make you change your mind
And how you left yourself behind
You know I didn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe
Trying to find my way
Still these feelings that I felt
I said to you and no one else
I know it's called the street of dreams,
but that's not stardust on my feet,
It leaves a taste that's bittersweet
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
Everywhere I go I see you
You know it's what you planned, this much is true
What I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore
The more I know you believe
What I thought was you now
Has got more that it changed on you
The more that I might know is you
What I thought was you
Is only memories, distant

This is probably not about axl himself; and yet somehow it seems to fit (on a certain level).
Can you imagine being a product / image that was created so long ago in another part of your life ... which is now all that can be seen (which is intended when creating a "product / image"). Stuck in those shadows of who you were. Something that seemed cool and awesome at the time. Yet an older and wiser version of yourself can see it better for what it is / was.
Slight possibility the song may be about someone who has an abortion against his wishes. It fits the lyrics whether correct or not.
"All the innocence inside"
"You know I tried so hard to make you To make you change your mind"
What I thought was beautiful Don't live inside of you anymore
"What this means to me Is more than I know you believe" this last bit could be about how the female sees it as her decision only etc.
It could also be about someone who becomes some sort of addict and leaves themselves behind.
Whatever meaning it is clear there was a relationship where once the author adored the person but no longer does and sees them as changed.
This is a beautiful song..
This is an amazing song. On par with "Old" GN'Rs' best.
After it, Axl starts talking about the internet and calls it 'a handy tool'. True.
A break up. Your partener now seems cold and cruel to you for what he/she did...
...I love this track....
great song
Definitely a break up. And though some lines may indicate she's cold and cruel, it also seems by most of the rest of the lines that he still loves her and he cannot get her off his mind. Great song, but also sad.
this is a great song. best song from new gnr.
I love this song, a brilliant piece of songwriting from Axl.
