Axl Rose began to write music at a very young age to get away from his home life. He originally was from Indiana, have you seen how beautiful the grass/scenery is? He was kicked out of his home at a young age forcing him to live on the streets and struggle to eat. This was because of his refusal to cut his hair. This is why he talks about being a criminal etc. However, his mind had always been set on a music career, being classically trained on the piano, and writing November rain at the age of 15 or 16 if I remember correctly.
Therefore this is him talking about his current struggles before going out to LA. His family life, and his ambitious while he was there. It is also about how he actually thought of his home and the beauty behind it. There is no such thing as Paradise City in any part of California. This song is entirely about Indiana.
"Take me down
To the very Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home"
He is bluntly stating Paradise City is where he from in this verse.
"Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line"
He is talking about being on the streets at a young age due to his hair being long and his parents kicking him out for this reason.
"Rags to riches or so they say
You got to - keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know
It's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time"
His parents refusal to accept what he wanted to do with his life and his life in general.
"Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who you're going to believe"
His thoughts on what they tell him how California is going to be if he moves out there compared to the beauty of Indiana.
"Take me down
To the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
So far away"
In this verse he is talking about how far away the ones he did care about him and vise versa would be away from him. Indiana is a day or two trip straight through.
"Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind -
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a million times"
He is actually talking about his father and his conversations with his father. Furthermore his parents thoughts on his "dreams".
"I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me home"
Again he is talking about his dream of going out and trying for stardom but his self concious fears due to his parents and his love of Indiana.
"I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down
To the Paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down
To the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down
Beat me down
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Boy, I'm going to be mean
Oh, oh take me home
Take me down
To the Paradise City
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me home"
Again just being there with a topsy turvey life debating on rather he can do it or not because of all of the critism that he received for a "dream"
