Gone
Chasing Shadows: Sofie Winterson's Evocative Journey into Emptiness
Lyrics
When there's no one else around
Expressing solitude, no one else present.
I forget what my thoughts were for
Forgetting the purpose or content of thoughts in isolation.
I looked over and looked down
Observing surroundings, perhaps feeling introspective.
in my head I guessed I was more
Internal speculation about self-worth or identity.
Say I was ever back in town
Imagining a return to a place, uncertain reception.
they wouldn't get where my head was at
Anticipating misunderstanding or lack of connection.
It's always somewhere in the clouds
Mind often wandering or preoccupied.
Empty sky but it's feeling full
Feeling emotionally full despite a seemingly empty situation.
And I wanted to find her
Expressing a desire to find someone.
but I guess she was gone
Realizing the person sought is no longer available.
I wanted to find words
Desiring to articulate feelings but facing difficulties.
but I guess it
Interruption or hesitation in expressing thoughts.
guess it
Repetition, emphasizing the difficulty or impossibility.
guess it
Continued emphasis on the loss or absence.
is gone
Acceptance that what was sought is now permanently gone.
When there's no one else around
Reiteration of solitude, self-reflection.
I see my face in the same old way
Recognition of a consistent self-image in isolation.
I am sure that I could give a smile
Believing in the ability to present a positive demeanor.
with my head neatly center framed
Imagining a composed appearance, despite inner feelings.
And I wanted to find her
Reiterating the desire to find the absent person.
but I guess she was gone
Confirming the realization of the person's absence.
I wanted to find words
Expressing difficulty in finding appropriate words.
but I guess they were gone
Acknowledging the absence of words.
yeah I mean we could find her
Suggesting a collective effort to locate the person.
she must be around
Optimism about finding the person, hopeful.
I think we can find words
Belief in the ability to express thoughts.
but i guess it
Repetition emphasizing the completion or finality.
guess it
Continued emphasis on closure or completion.
guess it
Final emphasis on the concluded state of affairs.
is done
Acknowledgment that the situation is now done or over.
