Ain't It Fun
Life's Wild Ride: Embracing the Chaos in Guns N' Roses' 'Ain't It Fun'
Lyrics
Ain't it fun when you're always on the run
Acknowledging the enjoyment of a fast-paced, hectic lifestyle
Ain't it fun when you're friends despise what you become
Reflecting on the dissatisfaction from friends disapproving of personal changes
Ain't it fun when you get so high, well that you, you just can't come
Describing the thrill of being intoxicated to a point where returning to sobriety is difficult
Ain't it fun when you know that you gonna die young
Expressing a sense of excitement or recklessness associated with the awareness of a potentially short life
It's such fun, good fun, such fun, such fun, aah such fun
Repeating the notion of having fun, possibly emphasizing the conflicting emotions within the fun
Such fun, such fun aah, yeah, fun, such fun, such
-Ain't it fun when you're taking care of number one
Highlighting the enjoyment of prioritizing oneself
Oh ain't it fun when you feel like you just gotta get a gun
Suggesting the appeal of resorting to violence when feeling threatened or cornered
Ain't it fun when you just can't seem to find your tongue
Describing difficulty in expressing oneself verbally
'Cause you stuck it too deep into something that really stung
Regret over getting involved deeply in something painful or regrettable
It's such fun, ah
Reiteration of the notion of having fun, possibly with a sarcastic undertone
Well, so good to me, they spit right in my face
Describing instances of being mistreated or facing challenges without feeling the impact immediately
And I didn't even feel it, it was such a disgrace
-I punched my fist right through the glass
-And I didn't even feel it, it happened so fast
-Such fun, such fun, such fun
Repetition of the idea of fun, possibly emphasizing a detached or ironic perspective
Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
-Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
-Ah such fun, such fun, such
-Ain't it fun when you tell her she's just a cunt
Using offensive language to convey a negative opinion about someone
Ain't it fun when you she splits and leaves you on the bum
Expressing the aftermath of a failed relationship and feeling abandoned
Well, ain't it fun when you've broken up every band that you've ever begun
Reflecting on a pattern of unsuccessful musical projects
Ain't it fun when you know that you're gonna die young
Reiterating the idea of anticipating a premature death
It's such fun
Repetition of the phrase "such fun," possibly suggesting a cynical or sarcastic tone
Such fun, such fun, such fun
-Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
-Ah such fun, such fun, such fun
-Such fun, such fun, such fun
-Such fun, such fun, such fun
-Such fun
Conclusion, repeating the notion of having fun with a potential layer of irony
