Gone for Good
Navigating the Rollercoaster of Youth: HD Bradley's 'Gone for Good' Tale
Lyrics
’93 is when it all began
'93 marks the beginning of a significant period.
I was angrier than I should have been
Experienced more anger than was appropriate.
And I tried to love, but then lost my nerve
Attempted to love but retreated due to fear.
She treated me better than I deserved
Received better treatment than warranted.
Hold on just a minute longer
Encouragement to endure a bit longer.
And breathe
Advice to relax and breathe.
Hitched a ride on a heart attack
Symbolically rode a turbulent emotional experience.
When I found out there’s no turning back
Realization that some actions cannot be undone.
Teenage angst is gone for good
Adolescent emotional distress has passed permanently.
I miss it more than I thought I would
Surprise at missing past distress.
Hey, yeah yeah
Reiterated expression or emphasis of a feeling.
Hey, yeah yeah
-Hit the wall by ’96
Encountered a major obstacle around '96.
I never thought that I would live through it
Survived an unexpected challenge.
And I tried to hide, but then lost my head
Attempted to conceal but lost composure.
And spent ’98 wishing I was dead
Felt extremely despondent in '98.
Hold on just a minute longer
Encouragement to persevere a little longer.
And breathe
Advice to relax and breathe, again.
Hitched a ride on a heart attack
Symbolic ride of intense emotions like a heart attack.
When I found out there’s no turning back
Realization that certain things cannot be changed.
Teenage angst is gone for good
Confirmation that teenage turmoil has passed permanently.
I miss it more than I thought I would
Surprise at missing the past emotional turmoil.
Hold on
Repeated urging to hold on, persevere.
Keep holding on
-Hold on
-Keep holding on
-Hold on
-Keep holding on
-Now breathe
Encouragement to breathe and relax once more.
Hitched a ride on a heart attack
Symbolic ride on turbulent emotions.
When I found out there’s no turning back
Realization of irreversibility in certain situations.
Teenage angst is gone for good
Confirmation of the passing of teenage angst.
Hitched a ride on a heart attack
Repeated realization of irreversible actions.
When I found out there’s no turning back
-Teenage angst is gone for good
Confirmation of the departure of teenage angst.
I miss it more than I thought I would
Surprise and acknowledgment of missing past distress.
I miss it more than I thought I would
-I miss it more than I thought I would
Repeated acknowledgment of missing past turmoil.
