Already Gone
Unraveling Love's Spin: Mike Szabo's 'Already Gone' Reflections
Lyrics
Spinnin' Wheels far too long
Struggling or making little progress for a prolonged period
Hangin' on to something gone
Clutching onto something that has passed or ended
We thought we had to see it through
Believing they had an obligation to persevere
Cause that was what we had to do
Following through due to a perceived necessity
We didn't know when it went wrong
Unaware of the specific moment it went awry
We only know that it was gone
Aware that something was lost or absent
Never thought it would fade
Didn't anticipate it fading or deteriorating
Killin' all the plans we made
Destroying the plans they had made together
So we just kept on pushin' through
Continuing despite hardship because it seemed necessary
Cause that was what we had to do
Continuing based on perceived obligation
I didn't know I felt alone
Unawareness of personal loneliness
With you beside me in our home
Despite being together, feeling emotionally distant
I can't say when it went wrong
Unclear about the exact point of deterioration
I only know that you were gone
Realizing the absence of the partner
You were already gone
Confirmation of the partner already leaving emotionally or physically
Gettin' by day by day
Surviving each day with minimal interaction or communication
Not much left for us to say
Little to discuss or communicate anymore
And in the end I think we knew
Awareness of the inevitable conclusion
Lonely hearts me and you
Feeling isolated and disconnected as a couple
You didn't know you felt alone
Partner's unawareness of their own loneliness
With me beside you in our home
Despite physical presence, emotional disconnect
And you can't say when it went wrong
Uncertainty about the moment the relationship deteriorated
You only know that I was gone
Realization of the partner's absence
I was already gone
Acknowledging personal departure or disengagement
In the end I think we knew
Understanding that there's no further recourse
Nothin' left for us to do
Recognizing the relationship's end
Spinnin' wheels far too long
Continuing to struggle or make little progress
And hangin' on to something gone
Clutching onto something that has passed or ended
They can't say we never tried
Recognition of effort despite the relationship's failure
But somethin' broke and somethin' died
Something irreparable broke, leading to the relationship's demise
And we don't know when it went wrong
Unclear about the specific turning point in the relationship
We only know that it was gone
Acknowledging the relationship's loss or absence
It was already gone
Confirmation of the relationship's already diminished state
it was already gone
Acknowledgment of the irrevocable end of the relationship
