Cover art for Sorry lyrics by Guns N' Roses

You guys have it all wrong, there are 2 Axls here, the former a pathological narcissistic who now (the second one), acknowledges that he has hurt so many people who cared about him, and is angry at the first one, and is trying to get him rid of himself, but still cant as he is still angry. Proof: shut up and sing, that goes to the first Axl. This song brings me back to the meaning of the video Dont cry. I really believe Axl went through psychoanalysis. Whether it was the best tool for him, Im not sure, whether it was the only left for him, yes. Please review songs 10-14 of Chinese Democracy and they all narrate Axls change in personality. "You choose to hurt those that love you An won't see them free Won't see them free". That is axl he knows he cant see the people who care about him as real or "free",all he sees are all his paranoid aggressors. Sad case, sad story. Hopefully one day he is happy.
