Far Gone Now
Lost Love's Voyage: Vaya con Dios' 'Far Gone Now' Unraveled
Lyrics
Don't go looking for him lady
Advising against searching for the man, addressing the lady
Don't go lookinng for him now
Reiterating the warning not to look for him presently
He'll be sailing 'cross the ocean
Indicating he is sailing far away, implying distance
By the time you turn around
Suggesting he will be gone by the time she realizes
All he carries is his pride,
Highlighting he only possesses his pride, lacking material wealth
he has nothing to his name
Emphasizing his lack of possessions or wealth
What he's leaving you behind,
Referring to the emotional burden he leaves behind
is the burdon ofthe blame
Implying the blame for the situation falls on the lady
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the advice not to search for him
He's far gone now
Stating that he is now significantly distant
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the caution against searching for him
Don't go looking for him now
Reiterating the advice not to seek him out
He's somewhere across the border
Locating him across a border in a small town
In some lonely, little town
Describing the remoteness of his current location
A tatoo on his arm
Mentioning a tattoo as the only reminder of the lady
is all that will remain
Symbolizing a permanent mark of her absence
Of a lady with no heart
Referring to the lady as heartless, playing games
playing stupid little games
Characterizing her actions as foolish
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the advice not to search for him, emphasizing distance
He's far gone now
Reiterating that he is now significantly distant
And now you're gazing at the moon
Shifting focus to the lady, describing her actions
Humming melancholic lines
Depicting her gazing at the moon, expressing sadness
Burning candles in your room
Describing her burning candles, possibly for solace or hope
As if to see the light
Suggesting a futile attempt to find light in her situation
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the advice not to search for him
Don't go looking for him now
Reiterating the warning against seeking him
He'll be over the horizon
Indicating he will be beyond reach by the time she reacts
By the time you come around
Emphasizing the inevitability of his departure
You can stare out at the sky,
Suggesting she can dream and build castles but he won't return
building castles in the air
Encouraging unrealistic hopes and dreams
He won't be coming back this time,
Declaring he won't return, indicating finality
there'll be no answer to your prayers
Implying prayers for his return will be unanswered
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the advice not to search for him, emphasizing distance
He's far gone now
Reiterating that he is now significantly distant
And now you're gazing at the moon
Returning focus to the lady's emotions, gazing at the moon
Humming melancholic lines
Repeating the image of her humming melancholic lines
Burning candles in your room
Repeating the description of her burning candles, seeking light
As if to see the light
Suggesting her actions may be futile in finding solace
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the advice not to search for him
Don't go looking for him now
Reiterating the warning against seeking him
There's no need to be sorry for yourself,
Advising against self-pity, asserting its irrelevance
it don't matter anyhow
Emphasizing the insignificance of feeling sorry for oneself
Don't go looking for him lady
Repeating the caution against searching for him
He's far gone now
Affirming his significant distance now
Don't go looking for him kady
Repeating the advice not to search for him
He's far gone now
Reiterating
