The Meaning. The meaning of the song, of course, refers to death. It’s getting dark, too dark to see, sings Dylan. Babe, I've seen it all before. You keep on knockin' on every door. Ain't no lovin' you ignore. You keep on knockin' on every door. Keep keep knock knockin' on every door. You keep on knockin' on every door. I thought we used to have love in store. You keep knock knockin' on every door. Hey babe, don't run around here no more. It's getting dark, too dark for me to see. I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground. I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is comin' down. I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door We will give ourselves no rest 'Till Your Kingdom comes on earth We've positioned watchmen on the walls Now our prayers will flow like tears For You've shared Your heart with us Mama, take this badge off of me I can′t use it anymore It's gettin′ dark, too dark to see. Feel I'm knockin' on Heaven′s door Knock, knock, knockin′ on Heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin′ on Heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin′ on Heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin′ on Heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot In the pantheon of rock anthems that capture the essence of existential crossroads, Gun'n Roses' rendition of 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' earns its place among the most evocative. Originally penned by Bob Dylan, this song's raw energy and rebellious spirit were reimagined by the hard rock legends, painting a sonic canvas that broods with introspection and a ceaseless yearning for transcendence. Knock, knock, knockin’ on Heaven’s door. The song has been covered by many different artists, from Gun N’ Roses to Arthur Louis. There is even a nice, soulful cover by Ms. Randy Crawford. Below is a more upbeat version of the often melancholy song. It is a version beautiful enough to temporarily forget the somber meaning of the lyrics It's gettin' dark, too dark to see. I feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is comin' down. Knockin' On Heaven’s Door Lyrics: Mmmhmm, mmmhmm mmmhmm / Mama, come take this badge from me / I can't use it anymore / It's gettin' dark, too dark to see / I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door xhen.
