Mark david chapman was the object of the song really...but it also spoke to everyone else. are we crazy? everyone wands an understanding shoulder to cry on. the world is madness but does it really have to be? We are "phonies" when we see our own defects in other people and hide them from the world because of our shame. we are human...we have a natural desire to belong...we struggle to get over and accept the past and also to accept the now and find ourselves through individuality. that's what life is...its a struggle with ourselves. and every now and then it drives people crazy. it drove that by to his wits end. but it wasnt the fault of the ideas from the book. that kid had a choice. we all have a choice. its how we make them that closes the gap between delirium and reality. The song's got flow in that respect. pararel story lyrics | Reviewer: Dfux | 4/30/07 In my opinion this another great tune ...i trully think this will be a great album...song after song everything´s great you know..but in my point of view...and just my point of view I think the lyrics as something "between lines" o do with old guns n roses life style or former GnR Musicians...don t know.. But Great Song...Pure....bye bye heheh wiseowl | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/07 The story in the book has nothing to do with John Lennon.But the Lennon's murderer was carrying the book when he was arrested immediately after the murder. The story of the book is about 16year old teenager and his view on the world. The book was published in 1951. and become one of the most famous literary works of the 20th century. ANYWAY THE SONG IS AWSOME !!!! Novel | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/26/07 The lyrics are about the novel. The novel is told from the point of view from a boy who is in a mental institude. Axl Rose , last ledgend | Reviewer: kingcraigy@hotmail.com | 2/18/07 This personaly is my fav song from the new album its just one of those songs you think , how can they possibley think of this , just great , and i want to say the song i didnt like at the start was T.W.A.T took me a few times listening till i got into it but now i cant stop listening , but catcher in the rye is the best and i hear that sebastion bach has said his fav song is a song called SORRY which he has heard and i am realy wanting to hear that one :) | Reviewer: Luke Sanden | 1/31/07 omgg. fuckin' greatest song ever. i love it. Chinese Democracy is gonna fuckin' rock. i would bet everything i own, that the album will hit. #1.. i love this masterpeice of a song. i can listen to it 1,000 times and not get bored of it. its beautiful. when i 1st heard it, i thought it mighta been about a boy commiting suicide, or some kids shooting up a place [like a school] but i guess its about the dude that killed John Lennon. hmm This song is fuckin' great Epic | Reviewer: Jeff | 10/31/06 Very unique song. After two or three listens I couldn't get enough. One of the best songs I've ever heard. Pure genius...Axl is magic Johan Stone | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/5/06 I totally agree with this guy from the other review. It has a strange rhytmm, confusing but beautyful, it takes time to asimilate it buy once you listen to it a couple of times, you can get it out of your head, and that´s what I love about the new themes of GNR, at least the ones that Axl wrote. It has the same magic that TWAT. You might need some time to put all the pieces of it together, but that´s what get you so into it. I´ve never heard of the book, so I can´t say if the song says something about it, but I love this song and I´m looking forward to hearing the album. other interesting songs from Chinese Democracy: T.W.A.T (There Was A Time), Better, I.R.S. Instant Classic | Reviewer: Djoolz | 5/11/06 This song doesn't hit you straight away but it's one of those rare tracks that grows on you untill you realize it's stuck in your head for days. Apparently a ballad about John Lennon being killed by a crazy madman who identfied himself with the protagonist of the book Catcher in the rye, hence the title. Axl sounds emotional, and the song leans more towards Beatles indeed or Elton John even than towards traditional GNR. Subtle but beautiful guitar playing by Brian May is the icing of the cake. Only bad thing is that the best past of the song, a bridge that appears as a sort of pre-chorus after the first verse, sounds like an actual chorus and is sadly only featured once in the whole track.
