So Far Gone
Unveiling Depths: A Journey from Blindness to Liberation in 'So Far Gone'
Lyrics
There was a moment, when I noticed the change
There was a moment of realization when the speaker noticed a significant change.
People look right through me, And I did the same
People ignored the speaker, and the speaker, in turn, ignored others.
It’s hard to believe that, with all that we had
Despite having a lot, it's difficult to believe that they could be oblivious enough to repeat mistakes.
We could be so blind, that we’d repeat the past
Blindness to past errors led to the repetition of those mistakes.
You can’t see me, I didn’t know
The speaker was invisible or not understood by others.
Before, you came home
The change occurred when someone (presumably the partner) returned home.
There were times when I was so far gone
There were times of emotional distance or detachment.
Never thought I needed anyone
The speaker didn't think they needed anyone before.
I’m a real faker, but it’s easy to see
The speaker admits to being deceptive, but it's apparent to others.
If I revealed my thoughts they’d fall at your feet
Revealing thoughts would make others highly regard the speaker.
It’s hard to imagine, such a strange request
Expressing difficulty in imagining a peculiar request, possibly related to a change in appearance.
To see you in the morning, in a different dress
Wanting to see the partner in the morning wearing a different dress.
You can leave me, and it wouldn’t change
Even if the partner leaves, it won't change the speaker.
I’d be, just the same
The speaker would remain unchanged despite external circumstances.
And continue all my never-ending games
The speaker engages in never-ending games or manipulations.
You’d be free from all my sacrificial shame
If the partner leaves, they would be free from the speaker's burdensome guilt or sacrifice.
There was a moment, when I noticed the change
A repetition of the earlier realization about change.
People looked right through me, and I did the same
People still look through the speaker, and the speaker does the same.
It’s hard to believe that, with what we’d made
Despite what they've created, it's hard to believe they could be blind to change.
We could be so blind, we couldn’t turn the page
Being oblivious prevents turning the page or moving forward.
I can’t see you, where did you go?
The speaker can't see the partner, questioning their whereabouts.
Before, you came home
Similar to line 6, the moment of change happened when the partner came home.
Before, you came home
The moment before the partner's return, emphasizing change.
