Gone
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Depths of 'Gone' by Jane and Her Calamity
Lyrics
Well since you won't wise up
Addressing someone who refuses to become more intelligent or perceptive.
I'll start dumbing it down
Expressing a willingness to simplify things due to the other person's lack of understanding.
And you find it hard enough to live
Highlighting the difficulty faced by the listener in managing their life.
But if you're asking them for nothing
Suggesting that if the listener doesn't demand anything, others will take advantage and exploit them.
Then they'll take everything
Implying that others will exploit the listener if they don't assert themselves.
And you won't have nothing left to give
Emphasizing that being taken advantage of will deplete the listener's resources and leave them with nothing.
But I'm someone's daughter
Identifying oneself as a daughter, sister, and friend, highlighting personal connections.
Someone's sister, someone's friend
Reiterating personal relationships and acknowledging being emotionally fractured but healing.
And I'm already broken, on the mend
Expressing a desire for the other person to take what they want and cease causing trouble.
So just take your piece
Stating that life will improve after the other person's departure.
And stop bothering me
Repeating the anticipation of improvement after the other person's departure.
And I'll be better when you're gone
Commenting on feeling like time is being wasted while trying to survive.
I'll be better when you're gone
Expressing confusion about the other person's lack of reaching out.
Well since you're wasting my time
Conveying a willingness to seek comfort or connection with someone else due to feeling neglected.
While I'm trying to survive
Acknowledging self-pity and predicting a negative outcome due to seeking solace in another.
And I don't know why you're not reaching out to me
Acknowledging personal flaws: being both capable and weak, finding it challenging to handle.
Well, I'll hook up with someone else
Encouraging the other person to wait and expect a change of heart over time.
'Cause I feel sorry for myself
Asserting that the other person will benefit after the speaker's departure.
And I know it's gonna end in tragedy
Pointing out past selfish behavior and excessive kindness leading to imbalance.
But I'm still a killer
Noting a decline in importance in the other person's mind due to neglect.
Still a coward and a fake
Stating determination to move on and recover from the emotional attachment.
And that's almost too much for me to take
Asserting the anticipation of regret from the other person after the speaker's departure.
So just give it time
Affirming the prediction of future regret from the other person.
And you'll change your mind
Stating an assumption of regret from the other person upon departure.
And you'll be better when I'm gone
Repeating the anticipation of the other person's regret after the speaker's departure.
You'll be better when I'm gone
Reiterating the expectation of the other person's regret upon departure.
Well you were kind of selfish
Conveying criticism of the other person's selfish behavior.
And I was way too kind
Acknowledging excessive kindness on the speaker's part.
And slowly I began to slip your mind
Observing the gradual fading of the speaker from the other person's thoughts.
So I've got work to do
Expressing determination to move on and recover from the emotional attachment.
Getting over you
Asserting the anticipation of the other person's regret after the speaker's departure.
And you'll be sorry when I'm gone
Stating an assumption of regret from the other person upon departure.
Uh-huh, yes
Confirmation of the anticipated regret from the other person upon departure.
You'll be sorry when I'm gone
Reiteration of the expectation of the other person's regret upon departure.
