Gone
Navigating Shadows: Real Estate's 'Gone' Unveiled
Lyrics
You hold the phone
You are in a conversation; possibly receiving a call.
Your hands are shaking
You are nervous or anxious, as indicated by shaky hands.
The number's wrong
The phone number appears incorrect.
But it seems right
Despite the apparent error, it feels right or appropriate.
Your mind is gone
Your mental state is altered or disturbed.
It's not surprising
The altered mental state is not unexpected.
After the dawn
Refers to a period after dawn, possibly a challenging time.
After the night
Following a difficult night.
Halfway home
Being halfway home, possibly a metaphorical journey.
Life in the mirror
Reflecting on life through a mirror.
Is all I want
A desire for simplicity or a return to basics.
Just to get back
An aspiration to recover or go back to a previous state.
My memory's long
Having a long memory, possibly holding onto the past.
The hope's that it isn't what I own
The hope lies in not possessing material things but in what is lacking.
But what I lack
Focusing on the absence or deficiencies rather than possessions.
On this balance beam tipping over
Describing a precarious situation, like a balance beam tipping over.
Time turns tirelessly but not fast enough
Time passing slowly, perhaps with impatience.
You hold the phone
Repetition of the initial scenario, holding the phone.
Your hands are shaking
Reiteration of nervousness or anxiety.
The number's wrong
Repeating the idea of an incorrect number.
Of course it's right
Now, there is certainty that the number is correct.
Your mind is gone
Reiteration of a disturbed mental state.
It's unsurprising
Emphasizing that the altered mental state is unsurprising.
After the dawn
Similar to lines 8-9, referring to a challenging time after the night.
After the night
Repetition of the idea of a challenging night.
