Gone Gone Gone
Reflections on Lost Opportunities: "Gone Gone Gone" by Robin Gibb
Lyrics
No more room to roam
No more space for wandering or exploring
I have lost my hope
I've lost my optimism or positive outlook
Stars have all gone in
The stars, symbols of guidance or hope, have disappeared
Which way have I been
I'm unsure about the direction I've taken or where I've been
I'm too rich to learn
I feel too experienced or entrenched to learn something new
And far to cold to burn
I'm too distant or emotionally unavailable to feel passion or intensity
Gone gone are the days , I cried
The days that held significance for me have passed, causing me to grieve
When I could so easily have tried
I didn't put effort in when I could have, now regretting missed opportunities
Work, work, when instead I laughed
Instead of being serious and working hard, I chose to laugh and not take things seriously
And nothing now I have
I have nothing to show for my past actions or efforts
Hoping much too long
I held onto hope for too long without results
My eyes are not so strong
My vision or perception is weakened or unclear
I just can not see
I'm unable to differentiate between what's morally right and wrong
What is right and wrong
Reiteration of the grief for the passing of significant days
Gone gone are the days , I cried
Continuation of grieving over the past
When I could so easily have tried
Continuation of regret over missed chances
Work, work, when instead I laughed
Reiteration of choosing laughter over work and its consequences
And nothing now I have
Reiteration of having nothing to show for past actions
Ahh
An expression of emotion (sigh or exhalation)
