When I'm Gone
Beyond the Stars: Exploring the Depths of Absence in Simon Lewis' 'When I'm Gone'
Lyrics
all the stars
Feeling a connection to celestial bodies or aspirations.
I keep ‘em close
Maintaining a strong connection or awareness of personal goals and dreams.
since in the dark
During challenging times or uncertainties.
I’m scared the most
Expressing vulnerability and fear during difficult situations.
and I take my bike to leave those streets
Using a bike as a means to escape from familiar surroundings.
just a mile so I can breath
Seeking a short distance for relief and clarity.
and when I’m gone
Anticipating a departure or absence from a current state.
when I’m gone, when I’m gone, when I’m gone
Repetition emphasizes the theme of departure and absence.
when I’m gone
Reiterating the anticipation of being gone.
when I’m gone will you see me reaching out
Wondering if others will notice or care when absent.
further than the stars
Asking if one's reach or impact extends beyond conventional boundaries.
all my friends
Highlighting the importance of genuine friendships.
they keep it real
Emphasizing the authenticity of friends.
tho I’m not sure
Expressing uncertainty about friends' true feelings.
how they really feel
Reflecting on personal doubts or insecurities.
maybe I feel out of luck
Feeling unlucky or facing challenges in an unfamiliar place.
somewhere off road where I got stuck
Being metaphorically stuck in a difficult situation.
but when I’m gone
Repeating the theme of departure and absence.
when I’m gone, when I’m gone, when I’m gone
Reiterating the emotional impact of being gone.
when I’m gone
Continuing the emphasis on absence.
when I’m gone will you see me reaching out
Pondering if the absence is noticeable beyond immediate surroundings.
further than the stars
Extending the metaphorical reach beyond conventional limits.
when I’m gone
Repeating the anticipation of departure.
when I’m gone
Reinforcing the idea of being gone.
when I’m gone
Emphasizing the finality of absence.
when I’m gone
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of departure.
all of the stars
Recalling the connection to celestial bodies or aspirations.
I keep ‘em close
Reiterating the importance of personal goals and dreams.
since in the dark
Repeating the connection to aspirations during challenging times.
I’m scared the most
Reiterating vulnerability and fear during difficulties.
when I’m gone will you see me reaching out?
Prompting the listener to consider the impact of their absence.
