Gone
Lost and Found: Unveiling the Journey in 'Gone' by Named by Strangers
Lyrics
half a bottle of jack it hit me accross the back
Consuming half a bottle of Jack Daniel's hit the person suddenly.
I said hey there mister well I feel like this is all wrong
Expressing a feeling that something is not right.
I asked him once again he just looked at me and grinned
Repeating the question to someone who responds with a grin.
he said man I don't know where the hell we are
Uncertainty about their location expressed by the person being spoken to.
too many nights at the bar can't find the keys to my car
Unable to find car keys after spending too many nights at the bar.
this night is growing grim and I just can't wait for the end
Feeling that the night is becoming unpleasant and wanting it to end.
Chorus
Transition to the chorus.
cause we're all lost and gone o but I just wanna to go home
Expressing a collective feeling of being lost and desiring to return home.
twice on the highway I heard your song and it made me wanna go home
Hearing a song on the highway that triggers the desire to go home.
cause I've been away too long but I just wanna go home
Feeling that being away from home for too long is distressing.
Cause I am lost and gone but I, I just wanna go home
Reiterating the desire to return home despite feeling lost.
Everything moves too fast I forget to stop and look at the past
Feeling overwhelmed by the speed of life, forgetting to reflect on the past.
and I think I will try this thing yah I will try it one more time
Expressing a determination to try something again.
Maria sits across the bar sometimes she looks so far
Observing Maria across the bar and feeling a desire to stay.
but I think to myself that I would like to stay a while
Wishing to remain and enjoy the company for a while.
wanting one more song surely it comes along
Desiring another song to prolong the enjoyment of the moment.
She sits back a while just sits and enjoys my smile.
Noticing Maria's appreciation of their company through her enjoyment.
I can't seem to get away three times we laughed today
Feeling unable to escape a situation despite moments of laughter.
everybody wants to look away, they seem all kinds of scared
Noticing others' discomfort and avoidance in the situation.
well I fell down again I need a little help from my friends
Expressing a need for help after a fall.
well I think that in the end we'll, we're going to be just fine
Belief that things will eventually be okay despite current struggles.
we'll have just one more beer and then I swear we'll get out of here
Planning to have one last drink before leaving.
it's time for us all to go out and get lost
Encouraging everyone to embrace getting lost as part of the experience.
