Seit `Hard Skool´ Ende 2021 gab es kein neues musikalisches Futter von GUNS N` ROSES. Das hat sich mit der neuen Single `Perhaps´ nun heute, eine Woche später als ursprünglich geplant, geändert. Grund für die Verzögerung war wohl ein versehentliches Leak des Songs über eine digitale App, die Jukeboxen und deren Inhalte in Bars steuert. Der coole und brillant gesungene Song ist dem Vernehmen nach auch bereits während der Aufnahmen zu „Chineses Democrazy“ (2008) entstanden und fand damals keine Verwendung. Warum eigentlich nicht?

Lyrics:

Perhaps I was wrong
When I didn’t see you, hey, hey
Perhaps I was wrong, hey
When I don’t believe you

But how would I know how it feels
Or what it takes to be you
I’ve been so upset
Harboring this hate for days

Hey, my sense of rejection
Hey, hey
Is no excuse for my behavior, hey
You pulled the gun, hey, hey
That shot and crucified my savior
Now he is no more and I am without you
Just like I was before
The way I used to be, hey
What a weight upon your shoulders that you don’t need
My heart bleeds for me

Got a lot more than I bargained for
You’re all alone now
You forgot about the others you were fighting for
You’re all alone
Ooh, sold out to the ones that you once ignored
You’re all alone now
You used to be a little crazy now there’s so much more
You’re all alone

Perhaps I was wrong, hey, hey
When I didn’t see you, hey, hey
Perhaps I was wrong, hey
When I don’t believe you

But how would I know how it feels
Or what it takes to be you
I’ve been so upset
Harboring this hate for days
Oh-oh, what a weight upon your shoulders that you don’t need
My heart bleeds for me

Ooh, got a lot more than I bargained for
You’re all alone now
You forgot about the others you were fighting for
You’re all alone
Ooh, sold out to the ones that you once ignored
You’re all alone now
You used to be a little crazy now there’s so much more
You’re all alone
