NoJoMo Day 23 in NoJoMo 2022

Give 3 song lyrics that speak to you. Bonus points for any backstory about why they are meaningful.

The song is based on a short story by Axl’s friend Del James called “Without You”. The story and the song together are devastating emotions, just exploding everywhere without notice.
Axl Rose took nearly a decade composing this song to make it perfect.

And it is perfect. In every sense of the word.

Personally to me, the song and the rain represents all my regrets and sorrows, all the What If’s that could’ve been. All the what is and what was, that shouldn’t have happened.
All the hopes and dreams in a tornado of egos.

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained

I never saw love in your eyes. The trust was there, coz you needed me more than you loved me.

I know that you can love me when there’s no one left to blame

When there was no one else to blame, you left.

There’s a beach house overlooking the pristine, vast ocean.
There’s a creaking wooden bench with two bodies sprawled out on it. Hands intertwined and the sound of waves.
Entire day goes by and sun sets and we’re still there.

But this never happened. I kept waiting for it to happen. I did everything I could to make it happen.

I had so much hope.

Time rots everything, even hope.

Dreams translated into other mediums vanish completely, never to repeat, ever again. Wish I knew this before I constructed my entire dream in Minecraft of all places. What a weird little planet we live on.
