Gone
Journey of Liberation: Leaving Behind Empty Faces and Finding Tomorrow
Lyrics
Pace of my feet is draggin' and slow
The speaker feels sluggish and unhurried in their movements.
Just so tired and I need to go home
Expressing fatigue and a strong desire to return home.
Got empty pockets and empty mind
Both financially and mentally empty, lacking resources.
Lots of faces but no friends of mine
Many people around, but none are true friends of the speaker.
Told myself I should let it go
The speaker advises themselves to let go of something.
Leave this place it's grown so cold
The environment has become emotionally cold, prompting the need to leave.
Get in this old car and drive
Suggests a desire to escape by driving away in an old car.
Somewhere I don't know
Yearning to go to an unknown destination.
And anyway from where I stand today
Reflecting on the current situation and making a decision to leave.
I'm walkin' out before I'm gone
Deciding to walk away from a situation before it becomes worse.
All you have to say is meaningless anyway
Dismissing the significance of what others say, deeming it meaningless.
I'm walkin' out before I'm gone
Reiterating the decision to leave before the situation worsens.
Tomorrow's gonna be different
Hopeful for a different and better tomorrow.
I will never know what you could not say
Acknowledging a lack of understanding regarding unspoken words.
I've been down before I been wrong that way
Having experienced difficulties and mistakes in the past.
Can't never go back now, no sense in holdin' on
Acceptance of the inability to return to the past, suggesting moving forward.
I don't kneed you up I don't need you down
Independence expressed by not needing someone either up or down.
I will always be just
Emphasizing a consistent and unchanging aspect of the speaker's identity.
Like somethin' you found
Comparing the speaker's identity to something that can be discarded.
That you could throw away
Highlighting the disposability of the speaker's identity.
Forgotten in a day that's you baby
Stressing the fleeting nature of the speaker's significance in someone's life.
Baby that's you
Reiterating that the speaker's significance is transient.
These days these times are testing us
Describing challenging and testing moments in contemporary times.
Keepin' us blind
Suggesting that current circumstances are keeping people oblivious or ignorant.
These ropes and these lines
Metaphorically referring to constraints that tie individuals to the past.
Are binding us to those times
Highlighting the binding nature of certain elements to past experiences.
