I just think this is one of the most brutal songs ever!
Assuming that he really is singing to a lover/ girlfriend who seems to think she's made it (reached her dreams) except that it's simply a cocaine addiction! Whoa.
The link between the drugs and that they are 'her dreams'- but that most people would consider that situation as being in 'the blues'. Yeesh!
Also that Axl says "You know I wouldn't want to be you, Now there's a hell I can't describe" is just insane!
Normally we think a song is brutal if it describes graphic violence or has extremely coarse lyrics etc, but the poetic drubbing he dishes out here blows me away!
