Already Gone
Love's Departure: Diplomats of Solid Sound's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
He believes I will always be available for him.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Repetition emphasizes his expectation of constant presence.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Continued emphasis on the belief in perpetual availability.
But he's wrong, I'm already gone
Contrary to his belief, the narrator has already moved on.
When he's walking on down the line
Describes the man navigating between good and bad choices.
Between good and bad, and he still looks fine
Despite the choices, he still maintains a positive appearance.
I never really could call him mine
The narrator couldn't claim him as her own.
But he's so damn sweet when he takes his time
Despite shortcomings, he is charming when taking his time.
When he holds me in his arms
Describes the comforting feeling when held by him.
Makes me feel so safe and warm
His embrace provides a sense of safety and warmth.
And he puts on all his charms
He uses charm to captivate the narrator.
Makes me feel I'm the only one
The narrator feels like the only one when he uses his charm.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Reiterates his mistaken belief in the narrator's eternal presence.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Emphasizes his persistent belief in her continuous presence.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Continued repetition of his false assumption.
But he's wrong, I'm already gone
Reaffirms that he is mistaken, as the narrator has already moved on.
Comin over any time he needs
He visits whenever he needs love, but fails to perceive the narrator's feelings.
A little love from me, but he just don't see
He doesn't recognize the narrator's emotional unavailability.
My phone's ringing in the middle of the night
Her phone rings late at night, indicating his disregard for her well-being.
The way he's treating me just ain't right
His mistreatment of the narrator is highlighted.
When he holds me in his arms
Repeats the comforting feeling when embraced by him.
Makes me feel so safe and warm
His embrace provides a sense of safety and warmth once again.
And he puts on all his charms
He relies on charm to make the narrator feel special.
Makes me feel I'm the only one
Using charm, he creates the illusion of exclusivity for the narrator.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Repeats his misconception about her perpetual availability.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Restates his persistent belief in her constant presence.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Continued repetition of his misguided assumption.
But he's wrong, I'm already gone
Reaffirms that he is mistaken, as the narrator has already moved on.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
He continues to believe in the narrator's everlasting availability.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Reiterates his persistent belief in her continuous presence.
He thinks I'm always gonna be there
Continued repetition of his false assumption.
But he's wrong, I'm already gone
Reaffirms that he is mistaken, as the narrator has already moved on.
