Gone
Fading Echoes: Odd Palace's Poignant Reflections on Loss
Lyrics
I don't wanna see, I don't wanna see
The speaker expresses a reluctance to witness something.
What you're going through this time
Concern for what the other person is currently experiencing.
I don't wanna watch, I don't wanna watch
Continued unwillingness to observe a difficult situation.
As you fade out of this life
Avoidance of witnessing the person's decline or struggles in life.
I should be around, be around for you
Acknowledgment of the speaker's responsibility to be there for the person.
But I'm scared, I'm keeping my distance
Fear and intentional distancing from the person's troubles.
I don't wanna see, I don't wanna see
Reiteration of the reluctance to see the person's current situation.
What you're going through this time
Reiteration of concern for what the other person is going through.
You should know that I'm sorry
Apology for being distant or not actively engaged.
For being out of touch
Acknowledgment of being out of touch with the person.
You should know that I worry
Expression of excessive worry about the person's well-being.
I worry way too much
Admission of overthinking and excessive concern.
I'm waiting
Waiting for something, possibly a resolution or change.
I'm stalling
Delaying, possibly in facing or accepting a difficult truth.
Trying to look away from the truth here
Attempting to avoid facing the harsh reality.
You're fading
Describing the person's decline or deterioration.
You're falling
Highlighting the person's downward spiral or struggles.
Nothing I can do about the truth here
Acceptance of helplessness in altering the reality.
Too soon it's too late and
Recognition of the inevitability of a situation.
Nothing can stop this fate
Expression of powerlessness to change the unfolding fate.
Oh, I know
Acknowledgment of awareness about the situation.
I'll miss you when you're gone
Anticipation of missing the person when they are no longer present.
You taught me how to write, so that I could feel
Recognition of the person's influence in the speaker's life.
Feel and sing along
Connection between writing and emotional expression.
So I just wanna keep
Desire to preserve the person's memory through songs.
Keep you alive in my songs
Commitment to keeping the person alive through music.
It's the only way for me to honour you
Explanation of using music as a tribute to the person.
Cause I'm scared to look in your eyes now
Fear or reluctance to face the person directly.
I don't wanna see, I don't wanna see
Reiteration of the aversion to witnessing the person's struggles.
What you're going through this time
Repeated expression of avoidance regarding the person's current situation.
