unravelling you could be mine????

[guns_n_roses]

okay so im up about an hour before i hit wendys cause i work there... and im takin' a look at YCBM lyrics
and i slowed down to actually read the best part the "while youre breakin down my back, and i been rackin out my brain" yadda yadda so forth.

I realized something, that part is talkin about heavy drugs which makes the song all make sense.

You can push it for more milage
but your flaps are wearin thin? - sound like a drug relation

dont forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands?- sounds like axls takin a swing at someone Adler lol

'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
Cause 5 years is forever                 
and you havent grown up yet

---- now think about that.. a couch trip... a BAD trip.. someones sick of witnessing these trips and then the 5 years thing is self explanitory... sound right?

Im probably gonna get chewed up because i even posted it but meh.. take swings motherfuckers    tell me what you think besides im an idiot because im well aware.

I think this song is about his wife, and also about some of Axl's friends from LA (like West Arkeen) who were addicted to drugs and just couldnt get off the couch

[SumbodyElse]

I think "couchtrip" is a referance to therapy.

really, how so?

[rockerroller]

This song was written by Izzy and Axl about Izzy's failed relationship with Angela Nicoletti. Izzy wrote the music and many of the lyrics.

[Krispy Kreme]

I always thought the song was about a relationship, not drugs.
Couchtrip: refers to therapy because you lie on a couch and talk during your session. So it's a couch trip.

Now  go out there and flip them burgers. I love Wendys!

[2NaFish]

don't think so dood. its about a chick, not drugs. still even if it was, stating that 'its about drugs' is hardly unravelling a song. go do a literature course and come back and tell us what the video for estranged means.

I thought it was about Erin Everly

[Neemo]

def not Adler or Arkeen or Everly

Bingo! A psychological therapy session is commonly referred to as a 'couch trip'. Not sure why, but I always assumed it meant because the patient spends most of the time lying on the traditional 'couch' in a 'traditional' psychologist's office pouring out his/her heart.

A traditional psychiatrist's fainting couch (i'd have gone for a plain black leather finish, but each to his own)

The song is completly about drug experiences in 3rd person perspective meaning the heroin speaking to the individual just like the last verse of Coma. Listen and understand metaphors here-

I'm a cold heartbreaker fit to ''burn'' an I'll rip your heart in two and leave you ''lying'' on the bed. Basically how the drugs have a hold of whoevers life and you can't seem to shake it off at the time. Drugs destroy relationships and cause a heartbreak because by the time you ''Wake'' up and realize to get clean you have dragged your better half down with you to no turning back therefore it is a repetitive cycle and ''With the bitch slap rappin-maening banging heroin and cocaine tongue-meaning having that taste for the life of coke ''You get nothing done!''

Good lyrics

and hence in some live versions the ad lib "with your ass in the air" is added

[me2u838]

it definitely has to do with drugs. "with your bitch slap rappin and your cocaine tongue"

anyone ever notice this lyric is written in the sleave of AFD.

[me2u838]

meant to say it ALSO has to do with drugs but how many guns songs aren't haha

[Crowebar]

Thanks so it has something to do with a relationship but there is no doubt that the song goes into deep about drugs and most likely Angela was pretty messed up on junk and coke and I like how the lyrics put focus on both aspects then.
