Chainsaw
Gone Away: Navigating Loss and Memories in Black Lips' Chainsaw
Lyrics
Do you remember
Recollection inquiry about past events
It's hard to forget
The past is unforgettable
Belief was broken
Faith or trust was shattered
And you lost your friend
A loss of companionship
The gate was left open
A physical or metaphorical entrance was not secured
Rush hour traffic on the street
Busy traffic situation
The clouds in the sky they were choking
Overcast skies obstructing
With the rain that would put you to sleep
Rain causing a calming effect
And it's hard to know
Difficulty in acknowledging absence
That you've gone away
Acknowledgment of departure
And it's hard to know
Reiteration of the challenge in accepting the absence
That you've gone away
Repetition emphasizing difficulty in accepting the absence
Gonna lead me through the gate that was open
Intent to follow a path without the companion
Alone without you
Feeling alone in the absence of the friend
And I'll be calling you
Expressing an attempt to contact the absent friend
And you might hear your name
Potential attempt to get attention or reach out to the friend
If you're lost or have to go
Indifferent to whether the friend is lost or leaving
To me it's both the same
Equating being lost or leaving as similar
Do you remember
Repetition of the initial inquiry
It's hard to forget
Emphasizing the unforgettable nature of past events
The same day that you left me
Parallelism between the day of separation and the day of meeting
Was like the same day we met
Similarity highlighted between leaving and meeting
And it's hard to know
Reiterating the challenge in accepting the absence
That you've gone away
Recognition of departure
And it's hard to know
Repetition emphasizing the difficulty in accepting the absence
That you've gone away
-Gonna lead me through the gate that was open
Intent to follow a path without the companion
Alone without you
Feeling alone in the absence of the friend
And I'll be calling you
Attempt to communicate with the absent friend
And you might hear your name
Possibility of the friend hearing the call
If you're lost or had to go
Indifferent to whether the friend is lost or leaving
To me it's both the same
Equating being lost or leaving as similar
And I'll be calling you
Another attempt to communicate with the absent friend
And you might hear your name
Possibility of the friend hearing the call
If you're lost or had to go
Indifferent to whether the friend is lost or leaving
I hope you flood the drain
Wishing for a significant impact in departure
