I've heard a lot a people saying 'its about his divorce its about his divorce!' but im pretty sure even though he wrote it around that time, its more about the feelings than that event specifically. the divorce just inspired him to write about those kind of feelings.
in the making the f'n videos dvd axl says it could be applied to lots of relationships of the band, like with stephanie or erin or when stevie left. estranged pretty much means willingly leaving something, and the song i ersonally think its about things you know are going to happen/the inevitable, and leaving things because of the inevitable and because you know it be for the better even if you dont want to.
I knew the storm was getting closer (knowing somethings going to happen)
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die (he doesnt want to leave it, but has too)
i love this song. i used to think the videos were just plain silly but the more i think about the meaning the more i think about axl and how he does things and insists on expressing his feelings i dont. still its a great song. underrated though. everytime i listen to it its like im hearing it for the first time again
