Method of the Study

reason why Axl stated in the fifth line on the first stanza: I know how you feel inside l.5. Axl loved Stephanie very much and he didn’t want her to fall in sorrow. After a long time, Axl realized that he was the one to blame, so now he admits for the mistakes he has done to Stephanie. In the other hand, actually he didn’t want to do the same mistakes he had done in the past. The sixth line of the stanza Ive been there before l.6 implies that Axl has experienced something bad due to his relationship in the past with Erin Everly his former wife. This fact can be found in Axl’s biography. The Second Stanza Dont you cry tonight l.9 I still love you baby l.10 Dont you cry tonight l.11 Dont you cry tonight l.12 Theres a heaven above you baby l.13 And dont you cry tonight l.14 Axl tried to calm Stephanie down by saying: “ Dont you cry tonight, theres a heaven above you baby ” . Axl realized that Stephanie was truthful and faithful to him, and she was willing to give him her love as long as he wasn’t doing the same mistakes; or simply let’s say that Stephanie was a good person while Axl wasn’t. We often heard that if we did many good deeds in our lifetime, heaven is surely going to be with us later in h ereafter. The word “heaven” here refers to something given to someone as the appreciation of hisher good deeds. This was the reason why Axl said on a line in the second stanza by saying: Theres a heaven above you baby l.13. The Third Stanza Give me a whisper and give me a sigh l.15 Give me a kiss before you l.16 tell me goodbye l.17 Dont you take it so hard now l.18 And please dont take it so bad l.19 Ill still be thinkin of you l.20 And the times we had...baby l.21 After they quarreled, t hey didn’t talk each other for long time. It seemed that none of them were willing to concede. Another possibility was whether there was no effort from both of them to talk first and say sorry in order to make everything clear or maybe one of them was afraid to talk because I guess one of them was stubborn so that heshe couldn’t accept any suggestions from the other. By the time, Axl felt uncomfortable with that situation and he knew that she was going to leave. Until the time they finally decided to give a break to their relationship, Axl didn’t ask anything unless her last goodbye or even only a whisper of her last words. Now Axl just wanted to talk to Stephanie for the last time or even only a goodbye-kiss. Since Axl loved her very much; e ven after they break, Axl didn’t want her to feel sad or down in a sorrow. Axl wanted to show his caring so that he said that he would be still remember and thinking of her and all of their good times although they didn’t “walk” together anymore. The Fifth Stanza And please remember that I never lied l.27 And please remember l.28 how I felt inside now honey l.29 You gotta make it your own way l.30 But youll be alright now sugar l.31 Youll feel better tomorrow l.32 Come the morning light now baby l.33 Axl has told all his honest feelings to Stephanie but it didn’t make any good impact on their relationship. He said that he never lied. It was not about his words or action but his love and feeling. Now that Axl has told Stephanie about how shattered his heart is, Axl hoped Stephanie will forgive him, but unfortunately not.
