Far and away the best GnR's song that never caught on mainstream ( and far and away better than several of their songs that did). As for meaning, to me it's that guy who is rebellious to the point of it being self-destructive but who cant see that - all he knows is that he is not happy and it seems he wont ever be (the cold is home) but in his mind he is unlucky or a victim - he cant see that he is his own worst enemy - In short, it's Axl.
On another note, I have heard one live version of this song - a fairly poor audio only from 1991. If anyone knows of other versions of this song live I'd love to hear about it
