Dead and Gone
Exploring Loss and Longing: 'Dead and Gone' by I Am the Avalanche Unveiled
Lyrics
At the bottom of a swimming pool
Contemplating in a challenging situation, represented by the bottom of a swimming pool.
I think I found a clue
Discovery of a potential lead or evidence.
I know
Expression of awareness or certainty.
That I'm getting closer
Acknowledgment of approaching a revelation or understanding.
I'm looking for fingerprints
Searching for identifying marks or evidence.
Some sort of documents
Seeking relevant documents for understanding.
To find the only one who made it all the way from the sun
Searching for the person who successfully navigated challenges, symbolized by "made it all the way from the sun."
She's gone away
Confirmation of someone's departure.
She's gone away
Reiteration of the person being gone.
I need to hear her say
Desire to hear a specific affirmation or reassurance.
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
Stating the importance of the person over the world.
I can learn the truth
Expressing the desire to learn the truth.
You see him everyday
Observing someone regularly, perhaps in a comparison context.
You wish that he was me
Wishing for oneself to be in the observed person's position.
You try to find a way to bring yourself to it
Attempting to find a way to accept or adapt to a situation.
She's gone away
Reiteration of someone's departure.
She's gone away
Reaffirmation that the person is no longer present.
I need to hear her say
Expressing the need to hear a specific affirmation or reassurance.
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
Affirming the greater importance of the person over the world.
No one means as much as you do
Emphasizing the unparalleled significance of the person.
Hey [Repeat x11]
Repetition of "Hey" as a musical element.
She's dead and gone away
Confirmation of the person's demise.
Hey [Repeat x11]
Repetition of "Hey" as a musical element.
She's dead and gone away
Reiteration of the person's death.
She's gone away
Reiteration of someone's departure.
She's gone away
Reaffirmation that the person is no longer present.
I need to hear her say
Expressing the need to hear a specific affirmation or reassurance.
The world doesn't mean as much as you do
Affirming the greater importance of the person over the world.
No one means as much as you do
Emphasizing the unparalleled significance of the person.
Hey [Repeat x3]
Repetition of "Hey" as a musical element.
She's dead and gone away
Reiteration of the person's death.
Hey [Repeat x3]
Repetition of "Hey" as a musical element.
She's dead and gone away
Reiteration of the person's death.
At the bottom of a swimming pool
Return to the imagery of the swimming pool, potentially revisiting the investigation.
I think I found a clue
Recollection of finding a clue at the bottom of the swimming pool.
I know (I know) I know (I know)
Repetition of "I know," emphasizing certainty or confidence.
That I'm getting closer
Reiteration of getting closer to a revelation or understanding.
And you see him everyday
Observation of someone regularly, perhaps in a comparison context.
You wish that he was me
Wishing for oneself to be in the observed person's position.
You try to find a way to bring yourself to it
Attempting to find a way to accept or adapt to a situation.
