Gone
Journey of Regret: The Critics' Melodic Confession
Lyrics
Been running away
Expressing a prolonged period of evading or avoiding something.
For so long
Emphasizing the duration of running away.
Wish that I could face the music
Desiring the courage to confront a difficult situation and be honest.
And tell you everything that's wrong
Expressing a wish to disclose all the problems and issues.
Well if I had the time
Reflecting on the lack of time to explain various reasons.
To tell you all the reasons why
Continuing the theme of wanting to communicate multiple reasons.
I couldn't stay
Acknowledging the inability to remain in the current situation.
You'd probably hate my guts
Suggesting potential negative reactions from others upon disclosure.
Or at least just enough to know that you should stay away
Anticipating a negative response or a desire for distance.
And now its all fucked up
Expressing the current state as chaotic or disordered.
Jumbled in this mess
Reflecting on the transformation of something innocent into a mess.
But how'd something so innocent turn into this
Questioning the evolution of innocence into a problematic situation.
Well I don't want you angry blowing up my phone
Expressing a desire to avoid anger and confrontation.
So I'll save it for tomorrow
Deciding to postpone the discussion until a later time.
And just go home
Choosing to leave the current situation and address it later.
And if I had the time
Reiterating the wish to communicate multiple reasons for leaving.
To tell you all the reasons why
Continuing the theme of explaining the decision to depart.
I couldn't stay
Re-emphasizing the inability to stay in the current circumstance.
You'd probably hate my guts
Anticipating negative feelings or reactions from others.
Or at least just enough to know that you should stay away
Expecting or suggesting the need for distance in the aftermath.
And now you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
Confirming the departure of someone significant.
You're gone
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person's absence.
Now you're gone, you're gone
Reiterating the departure of the individual.
Now you're gone
Continuing to emphasize the absence of the person.
You're gone
Repeating the statement about the person being gone.
You're gone
Reiterating the absence of the individual.
Now you're gone
Continuing to emphasize the person's departure.
Now you're gone
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person being gone.
You're gone
Emphasizing the departure of the individual.
Now you're gone, now you're gone
Repeating the statement regarding the person's absence.
Now you're gone
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person being gone.
You're gone
Emphasizing the absence of the individual.
Now you're gone
Repeating the statement about the person being gone.
