Guns n' roses ~ Don't Damn Me


'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me Be it a song or casual conversation To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations Your words once heard they can place you in a faction My words may disturb but at least there's a reaction Sometimes I wanna kill, sometimes I wanna die Sometimes I wanna destroy, sometimes I wanna cry Sometimes I could get even, sometimes I could give up Sometimes I could give, sometimes I never give a fuck It's only for a while, I hope you understand I never wanted this to happen, didn't want to be a man So I hid inside my world, I took what I could find I cried when I was lonely, I fell down when I was blind But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me How can I ever satisfy you an how can I ever make you see That deep inside we're all somebody an it don't matter who you wanna be But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend For this man can say it happened 'cause this child has been condemned So I stepped into your world, I kicked you in the mind An I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime But look at what we've done to the innocent and young Whoa listen to who's talking, 'cause we're not the only ones The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain Said it tears into our conscious thoughts, you tell me who's to blame I know you don't wanna hear me cryin' An I know you don't wanna hear me deny That your satisfaction lies in your illusions But your delusions are yours and not mine We take for granted we know the whole story We judge a book by its cover and read what we want Between selected lines Don't hail me an don't idolize the ink Or I've failed in my intentions Can you find the missing link Your only validation is living your own life Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time So I send this song to the offended I said what I meant and I've never pretended As so many others do intending just to please If I damned your point of view could you turn the other cheek But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind 'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside 'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me Don't damn me, I said don't damn me I said don't hail me, don't damn me more free lyrics

'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Be it a song or casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
Your words once heard they can place you in a faction
My words may disturb but at least there's a reaction

Sometimes I wanna kill, sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy, sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even, sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give, sometimes I never give a fuck

It's only for a while, I hope you understand
I never wanted this to happen, didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world, I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely, I fell down when I was blind

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

How can I ever satisfy you an how can I ever make you see
That deep inside we're all somebody an it don't matter who you wanna be
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
For this man can say it happened 'cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world, I kicked you in the mind
An I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime

But look at what we've done to the innocent and young
Whoa listen to who's talking, 'cause we're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain
Said it tears into our conscious thoughts, you tell me who's to blame

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours and not mine
We take for granted we know the whole story
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
Between selected lines

Don't hail me an don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my intentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view could you turn the other cheek

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me, I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me, don't damn me

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
